Well I hope you enjoyed the first part of the numerology blog. This second part will discuss the ‘Personal Year’ numbers. The personal year number is something that changes every year on your birthday. The occasional book/website suggest it occurs on January 1st every year, but I have issues with that for one significant reason. Having […]

Today I will be throwing out a hypothetical discussion about Kidney Jīng, genetics, and hereditary diseases/disorders, especially in the context of diseases and immunity. For example, does Kidney Jīng provide you with a natural/genetic immunity, OR does it actually predispose you to ancestral diseases? I have felt compelled to write about this topic for over a
Today I wanted to post a discussion that relates to early Greek, Roman, and Chinese medicine. It includes Greek and Roman Gods/Goddesses and Chinese Demons. I am unsure as to what most of you know about ancient history, in particular health, sickness, andhealing? So, this post is a brief look at some different deities in
