Acupuncture Walk In Clinic
 In just three short weeks, our Acupuncture Walk In Clinic has become a resounding success! Clinic attendance has grown so quickly that we are already planning on adding a second clinic to be able to serve all the people who want to experience the benefits of Acupuncture for Rapid Relief of Pain. All of us at Dr. Dan's look forward to the Wednesday clinics with great anticipation - we never know who or how many people will arrive at 171 High Street from 6 to 7pm each Wednesday. We have been absolutely delighted with the turnout thus far.
Our clinic patients have been so enthusiastic and success rates have been so high that we are consider-ing offering Acupuncture Clinics that focus on specific health concerns, like arthritis, migraines, heartburn, etc. Let us know your thoughts on specific programs you would like to see offered in the future at Dr. Dan's - we welcome your input.

The key component of our Natural Healing Program at Dr. Dan's is Nutrition Response Testing, a non-invasive system that analyzes the body to determine the underly-ing causes of ill health. When underlying causes of ill health are corrected through safe, natural nutritional means, the body can repair itself to attain and maintain more optimal health.
Dr. Dan will begin monthly Natural Healing Response Therapy Talks on August 24th. The talks will run from 7 - 8 pm at the Center and are free of charge.
Anyone interested in learning more about Dr. Dan's Natural Healing Center and gaining a better understand-ing of how the natural healing process can dramatically improve their health will want to attend this talk.
During his talk, Dr. Dan will focus on providing a thorough explanation of how Nutrition Response Therapy is highly effective in dealing with a wide variety of issues such as cardiovascular disease, digestive issues, migraines, osteoporosis and other health concerns.
Dr. Dan's patients who are participating in the Level I Natural Healing Program are encouraged to attend and bring along friends and family members.
Please call our office to register at 978.462.0023 or send us an e-mail at info@drdansnaturalhealing.com.

Health Tip
Digestion of fresh, whole foods is the key to our health and well being. The first moment of heartburn, reflux, bloating or burping, take notice - your body is trying to tell you something. You'll be surprised to learn that 90% of all excess acid symptoms actually result from a lack of acid in the stomach, which is very common with aging.
What feels like acid is actually undigested (or improperly digested) food sitting in the stomach.
Treating these symptoms with an antacid like Zantac, Pepcid, or worse, Prilosec or Nexium adds insult to injury in a very big way. Why is that?
These products reduce stomach acid and prevent the breakdown of proteins such as beef, fish and chicken. They also prevent or limit the signal for release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas that is crucial for digestion of carbohydrates. And, as if that's not enough, they reduce the release of bile from your liver and gallbladder necessary for digestions of fats. In fact, they do the exact opposite of what you need to do to eliminate your digestive upset. If undigested food is the culprit, why in the world would you want to inhibit the digestive process?
Tip: Try an old Vermont farmer's remedy of taking 1 Tbsp. of apple cider vinegar in a small glass of warm water before dinner or any large meal. If your symptoms improve, then you need acid for better digestion. If the symptoms worsen, then the lining of your stomach needs to be healed and/or you need some gallbladder/bile support. In Chinese Medicine, this issue is called "liver invading stomach."
TIP: Put a squeeze of fresh lemon in the water you sip throughout the day. Also, get tested for Standard Process nutritional supplement products such as Gastrex, HiPep, Aloe Vera Juice, AF Betafood at Dr. Dan's Natural Healing Center.
Remember my motto - Eat Well, Digest Better.

Announcing . . .
Smoking Cessation Program Using Acupuncture
Need help quitting smoking? Or know someone else who does? If you are ready to quit smoking for good, Dr. Dan's is ready to help you kick the habit once and for all.
We have developed a program at Dr. Dan's using Acupuncture that greatly assists people who are ready to stop smoking.
Acupuncture has been proven highly successful in reducing nicotine cravings and reducing the stress and jittery nerves typically associated with smoking cessation. So many people fail at smoking cessation when the nicotine cravings, stress and jittery nerves get the best of them. It doesn't have to be that way.
Acupuncture can help. It won't do the work for you, but it will work with you - making it far easier to quit smoking. The program consists of 4 individual Acupuncture sessions over a two-week period. The cost of the program is $120.
So, call today for an appointment and you will be well on your way to kicking the habit for good.

½ tsp. ancho powder
