Somehow I threw something out on my left arm and for two days could not move it without excruciating pain. On my way home, I desperately pulled into Ancient Alternatives just before closing and Mars kindly ushered me into a room. He is a master.

"I really enjoyed the talk. I do not know very much about TCM. It is so different from our way of thinking and our beliefs about the body. I find it rather refreshing in its simplicity. In our medicine in a North America, there is a pill for every ill. And you are right, arthritis is just a word. So simple, yet I could not have figured this out without your input.
I look forward to my next session." - Barb
