For a very short time we are offering K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration machines for the special price of $2,700 with free shipping.

We recommend the use of the Whole Body Vibration (WBV) machine to effectively utilize  Free Fatty Acids and Glycerols circulating in your body, in addition to initiating the mechanism of the lymphatic processes.

Take advantage of this deal now and start your personal exercise routine at your own home and at your own convenience before sale ends. Please call 916-971-9156 to order a machine. This sale ends at 5 p.m. on Jan. 15, 2011.

How it works
The underlying mechanism with WBV is elicitation of muscular activity.  The effects include increased blood flow, oxygenation and heat with release of hormone responses comparable to that found after resistance-type exercise. A 10-minute WBV session could yield significant calorie loss. This could increase with intensifying the activity while on the machine.

Note: It has been calculated that 10 minutes on the K-1 WBV machine would be similar to approximately a 6 to 10 km walk.

Benefits of the K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Machine
The K-1 WBV enables users to experience a relatively simple and convenient method of exercise.  Maximum benefits are achieved with just 20 minutes of use per visit.  This exercise machine is designed for fitness and health.

We’re happy to bring you a powerful story from one of our patients who has lost an impressive 35 pounds in the past six months.

In her first ever experience with the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach, she was able to make great progress in healing her body and experienced a variety of health benefits.

She credits her treatments at our clinic for helping her, including acupuncture for weight loss, a 3-week detoxification program and yeast cleansing protocol.

We’d like to congratulate Karen, from Sacramento, on her accomplishment and thank her for sharing her story with us on our website. Here’s her story in her own words:

Working with Jennifer, these past 6 months, has been my first experiences with a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach. I came to her for a hormone imbalance, expecting she’d use needles once or twice, some herbs and I’d be back to normal, lickity split. Well, what I discovered was she was willing to not just fix the symptom, but give me an opportunity to heal my body. I have had to trust her and have an open mind and patience. It takes us years to get into our current physical state, why shouldn’t it take some months to heal ourselves?

The last couple of months she’s guided me to detoxify my body using a variety of methods, such as vitamin, herbal powdered drinks, food selection and elimination, mineral supplements, acupuncture and something called, moxibustion. (Come see her to find out about that!)

The beginning of the process, I experienced the surprising side effects of easily awakening in the morning alert and energetic, a significant decrease in my hay fever, and my excess 50 pounds of weight slowly shedding. (With only walking 20 minutes a few days a month, I’ve lost 35 lbs.) It’s been challenging along the way, but Jennifer has been there to answer my many questions, provide support and encouragement, as well as tweak the treatment plan so the side effects are minimal. We are now addressing the hormone imbalance and in time, I’ll be fine, I’m sure of that! I’ve also learned that I can follow thru and delay, gratification, to aid my healing. This experience has boosted my self confidence! It’s a journey well taken.

Thanks Chen-Jung (Jennifer)

We’re happy to announce that we’re offering a deal for 25% off of the regular price of one Body Cleanse™ treatment during the month of December, 2010.

Body Cleanse™ is an innovative technique for facilitating detox and drainage while simultaneously fostering healthy pH changes in the body. The technique uses ionized water with salts and low levels of electricity to extract toxins from the body through the feet or hands.

Here is an example of a patient who used the Body Cleanse™ foot bath to detox:

In the photos, you can see how after the technique is used, so many toxins have been leaked and removed from the patient’s feet that the water is filled with them. This foot bath is a relaxing, painless way to detoxify your system.

We also plan to have more deals during future months to show appreciation for our Sacramento area customers, so please check our blog regularly for more details.

There is a limit of one use of the deal per customer, and the deal cannot be combined with any other discounts. The deal ends December 31, 2010, and must be used during business hours.

A little over a week ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced statistics that show as many as 1 in 3 U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue.

The report predicts that the number of new diabetes cases each year will increase from 8 per 1,000 people in 2008, to 15 per 1,000 in 2050.

One of the main factors behind the projected increase in cases is an aging population susceptible to developing type 2 diabetes.

How to prevent type 2 diabetes
Proper diet and exercise can help prevent diabetes, and also help control the condition for those who already have it.

Dr. Judith Fradkin, Director of Diabetes Division at NIH, told a news station that an NIH study showed that just losing 15 pounds can reduce your risk for developing type 2 diabetes over the next three years by 58 percent. Check out the video with the interview below.

Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include older age, obesity, family history, having diabetes while pregnant, a sedentary lifestyle.

Certain racial/ethnic groups also more commonly develop type 2 diabetes, according to the CD, identifying the groups as African-Americans, Hispanics, American Indians/Alaska Natives, and some Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders.

A Diabetes Prevention Program clinical trial, led by the National Institutes of Health, reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58 percent in people at higher risk of the disease.

While these types of government programs show promise, they also show the need for personal preventative action.
