Happy Year of the Tiger!! February 14, 2010


Dear Practice Members and Colleagues:

The 2010 year of the Metal Tiger
It looks like we've got mood swinging in a  vigorous and hard-working year ahead. As you might guess, the coming 2010  year of the metal Tiger is passionate, honest and modest. Sun sign horoscope for the 2010 year of the Tiger offers the qualities of  being naturally forgiving; rarely holding grudges for long. The Metal Tiger symbolizes eternal family values, and help us to prioritize our friends’ support and care, so be prepared to help and support those you love.

Each Year, the Earth orbits our Sun one time, creating the changing of the seasons and the bringing changes to our lives. This year, the changes in my life are still many, but beginning to settle down somewhat. This is my year of re-integration. Integrating myself back into what I have newly assimilated.

For me personally, this past year has been a year of new beginnings, new marriage, new business, and business networking with Natural Healers Network, new Website: www.truechi.com, new university to teach my new students, new home, new relationships and a new community to learn.

Local Los Gatos Practice and New L.A. Location
My new private practice in Los Gatos, CA, is now 14 months old. I am getting involved in a new circle of colleagues and patients here. I am heading up the painting project in our Los Gatos Clinic in January, and looking forward to putting a fresh face forward.  Our Breast Thermography program is a big success and very rewarding. Our next Date for offering Breast Thermography Imaging is Feb. 8, 2010.

Check out Mercola.com on Breast Thermography and also Breastcancerfund.org.

I will continue to travel to Los Angeles to see my patients there who wish to continue their Health Journey with my guidance – with my next visit in December is on December 12, and  14.  PLEASE CALL ME AT 310-497-8417 to schedule an appointment for these dates.

My location in L.A is at The Office of  Kathleen Port, L.Ac. and Eileen Hearn, D.C.
2211 Corinth Ave, Suite 202
West Los Angeles, CA 90064        

Major Cross Streets: Olympic and Sawtelle - 1 block West of Sawtelle, at Corinth and Olympic.  Parking is on the Street, Corinth or Tennessee. The building is just next to the Car Wash.
Enter the Building from the east entrance (just off Corinth) - take the elevator to the 2nd floor and the office suite door will be directly in front of you across the courtyard.

I am committed to returning to Los Angeles every 12 weeks for the next Year.
My next Dates to Los Angeles:
1. March 13, 15,       2010
2. June  19, 21,         2010
3. September 18,20, 2010

I will be wrapping up my work trips to Los Angeles after this final date in September 2010. I will miss all of my dear patients, but feel like drawing my focus to a single-pointedness is more calming for me.

An Important Note:  
I am no longer be billing insurance companies – but can offer  you a superbill to send into your insurance company for reimbursement.
I can accept  check or cash in Los Angeles.  And I can go back to my office in Los Gatos and run your Credit Card there for those of you who would like to pay by plastic.

Healing is a journey of self-revelation and transformation. I am honored to be a signpost on your path to reclaiming the wellness and happiness of living a life fully conscious.

I welcome you to come in to see the new beautiful clinic and look forward to advising you on your health, energy and purification for this Metal Tiger Year.  Do not hesitate to call me with your questions.  Remember that Asian Medicine is a complete systems medicine and that the State of California recognizes a Licensed Acupuncturist as a Primary Health Care Provider.

Wise Woman Herbal Protocols based on the treatment results of Dr. Tori Hudson, are available to you, for the treatment of HPV, Cervical Dysplasia and Abnormal PAP test results. This Protocol is extremely effective, so please ask me about it when you come in.



What is a Chinese Medicine (CM)?
As a practitioner of Asian Medicine, I analyze and guide my patients to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be in terms of their health and vitality by:

•    clarifying the pattern of disharmony and diagnosing the condition correctly according to Asian Medical  principles, including Tongue and Pulse Diagnosis skills
•    developing customized treatment strategies and implementing the treatment plan
•    keeping the progress moving forward through methods of re-evaluation and adjusting to the new states as one progresses toward optimum health

I believe that people can do whatever they set their mind and actions toward.  As a practitioner, I guide my patients with precision, through the process of recovering their health, directing them to the goal by developing custom protocols designed for them, in terms of their constitutional strengths and weaknesses and their symptom manifestation.


My Background
I have operated my practice for the past 14 years in the heart of Santa Monica, and now, in Los Gatos, CA too. In 2006, I received my Ph.D. in Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM), and continue to contribute to my field through publishing articles for professional medical journals. Copies of these are available on my website:
www.truechi.com

I do not advertise, but rely instead on my current clients, patients, interns, students  colleagues and friends for referrals.

Patient specialization
Even though I consider myself to be a general health care provider, I do specialize in the area of immune deficiency dysfunction, auto-immune conditions, and Chronic Degenerative Diseases. Some examples of how one can identify this group of people are:

•    The person who has been repeatedly tested with inconclusive results and the primary solution offered is anti-depressant medications.
•    The person who simply cannot get to the place of feeling that their health and energy are reliable, dependable and stable
•    The person that believes that even though things are looking pretty bad, they can recover, heal and move forward into a state of greater and greater health, and who is willing to try a different approach

Divergent Meridian Style Acupuncture and Herbal Formulas help to reverse Chronic Degenerative Diseases and Auto-Immune Diseases. Please let your community members know that we are offering an alternative approach to this group of diagnoses.

Fertility: 2009 promises to be another year for the opportunity to use acupuncture to enhance conception, pregnancy and delivery.

Pediatrics: Treating children involves sensitivity and careful handling. Cold Laser tools are used instead of needles and the herbal concentrates in glycerine help to get the medicine to go down.  Great thought has gone into getting higher compliance in children and since children respond so quickly, the results are sure to please the parents when natural medicine is sought for Child Health.
ADD and ADHD: Neuro-transimitter testing and Targeted Nutritional Therapy is now available for children and  individuals with ADD and ADHD. Ask for more information.

Happy Year of the OX!! January 26^th, 2009

Chinese Brush Painting by Nan Rae

Dear Practice Members and Colleagues:

Each Year, the Earth orbits our Sun one time, creating the changing of the seasons and the bringing changes to our lives. This year, the startling difference is that my life has changed in more ways than I can ever remember happening in my life. These changes affect some of you, too.

For me personally, this has been a year of renewal, heightened joy and profound change.

After 29 years (one revolution of Saturn around the Sun in Earth Years) since our original meeting and love relationship, Neal Van Keuren, and I have found one another again, causing a move for me to San Jose and a wedding in Napa Valley, this past November. Thank you for all of your support and love during this transition.
