sunny sunJune and Sunshine!
Aaah... Yard work, summer-time play and travel!  Time for fun, Fun, and more FUN!
And...
Happy Father's Day!


A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
Happy Father's Day

* * * Don't miss out on this great SALE * * *
Remember all the hand knitted and crocheted items from last month that I wanted to clear out of my spare room?  I donated everything (12 huge boxes full to the brim) to LOT WHITCOMB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL at 7400 SE Thompson Rd, Milwaukie, OR 97222.  They are having a super fundraiser event on 6/6/09 to support the afterschool programs.  It is their first Hawaiian Luau Fundraiser!  Please join the great afternoon fun activities including building volcanoes, making a flower lei, Ahola bingo, silent auction of donated items and much more.  (The items I donated are newborn, baby, child and adult sweaters, outfits and accessories. Something is there for everyone!) Delicious Hawaiian food will be served and the CAFE Hula girls will be performing their wonderful traditional dances.  I hope you all attend and support this worthy cause. For more information call:  503-329-8735

What's new and coming soon to White Dragon Therapies:
  • I have recently changed banks.  I chose one that has not accepted any "bail-out" monies and therefore am not contributing to your "invisible tax" called inflation. In the set-up of my new business account, I am working on being able to accept credit card payments for massage therapy to make it easier and convenient for my clients (you).  I know it is difficult sometimes to swing by an ATM to get cash and sometimes even I leave my check book behind. I will keep you posted as to when I am "connected" to the grid for merchant status.
  • I have been working on my website.  Changes are coming.  Have you ever noticed when you bookmark a site that you like to visit often that it has a customized icon next to the listing in your address book?  I was curious about those cute little things.  I want one.  I am getting one!  Whitedragontherapies.com will soon have a little white dragon icon attached when you bookmark my website.  I am working on getting one for my essential oil website too.  Essentialeverydayoils.com's icon is still in the design stage.  But rest assured...it will be appropriate and beautiful.
  • I am working on a series of classes that will begin in the fall.  These classes will be for detoxing the body by naturally cleansing one organ at a time, seasonally.  It seems that my personal vendetta against ill health has inspired my desire to share with everyone how to obtain good health without allopathic medicine.  There was a time, long ago, when humans round the world used to take care of themselves in this fashion.  This method was successful then and is still viable today. It is my goal to provide fortitude, knowledge and encourage free-will.
I will be conducting two Essential Oil Funshops in June.  These classes will be at the Glisan Street location from 3:00pm - 5:00pm on Saturdays.

I humbly encourage you to come listen to these presentations and hear what essential oils can do for you to improve your health and well-being the natural way without poisoning your internal organs with pharmaceutical petrochemical drugs.

Classes (funshops) are free! 

anxiety & depression6/13/09 Since this class was post-poned last month due to everyone spending time with family for Mother's Day weekend, I will be doing the Anxiety and Depression class one more time.  This an opportunity to learn how Essential Oils can help you to naturally overcome the debilitations of these symptoms of stress that are stealing health from the body, mind and spirit.

inflammation6/27/09  This is a new presentation.  Essential Oils and Inflammation is about understanding the mechanics of this immune response system and how essential oils can help you naturally with the pain and reverse this disease-causing illness without harmful side effects.

The list of Inflammation-induced health issues is a long one that includes, but is not limited to:

Asthma
Allergies
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Gout
Lupus
Psoriasis
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Heart Attack
Congestive Heart Failure
Alzheimer's Disease
Diabetes
Chronic Bronchitis
Autoimmune Diseases
Cancer

The first step is rein in the out of control inflammation to regain your health and well-being.  Feel better, live happier!

Each of us knows someone that is stressed, suffers from depression or is experiencing some form of anxiety and all of us has some form of pain.   These presentations will help you and to help you to help those that you know and love overcome these health robbing villains and get on the path to restoring well-being. My essential oil classes are fun, informative, designed to help you learn how to use these oils on a daily basis, and can be the turning point to regain/maintain good health. Invite your friends, co-workers, family members and neighbors to come to these presentations with you. It is never too late to start taking care of yourself or to help someone you care about to take better care of themselves.

Seating is limited.  Please call me or email me at lease a day in advance that you wish to attend these fun shops.

rdt kitSummer is here!  But that doesn't mean the germs are all gone.  I offer Raindrop Treatments all year long. Have a summer cold? Still claiming it is "allergies"? Are they hanging on, draining your energy? Tired of having to stay in bed when you want to be doing something fun? Would you like to get rid of it fast, without all those over the counter treatments that mask the symptoms instead of dealing with the root of the problem?

Raindrop Therapy may help you overcome the tiredness, constant fatigue and lack of energy as well as promote the immune system. Many of the essential oils used in RT are very effective in their ability to destroy invading organisms like viruses and bacteria in our bodies that cause the colds and flues.  RT is a powerful and stimulating tool to support the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems.

UPDATE:  The government informs us (5/28/09) that the Swine Flu Vaccine will be ready by October 2009.  Please review the articles and video at this website:  Educate Before you Vaccinate.  Make sure you know exactly what is in that vaccine. (i.e. EVERYTHING, including the added mercury, ether, antifreeze & aluminum! and how it can potentially harm you.)

A safer, healthier solution to good health:  The essential oils used in the Raindrop treatments are anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory (along with many other healthy benefits). Essential oils are natural botanicals without the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Essential oils have been used centuries before the time of Christ.  They were effective and natural then.  They are effective and natural now.  The will be effective and natural long into the future. 

I offer RT as an add on to any massage for an additional $15.00.  A Full description of my Raindrop Therapy Massage is available on my website. (see section under aromatherapy)

Every time you patronize my Sponsor Partners, you are eligible to enter another ticket for the monthly drawing.  Good Luck.  I hope you're one of the winners!

Wishing you and all your loved ones continued good health and blessings in abundance.

beautiful silverGot enough silver? Have you noticed what silver has been doing lately? Silver has been going up. It`s up over 21% in just the last 30 days. It`s up over 63% in just the last 6 months. It`s currently up over 265% since the rally started. Get into the booming silver business. This is the perfect time. Start a growing residual silver income. Get paid in real money - American Eagle Silver coins.

Because of the high demand and limited supply of silver the US Mint has been rationing Silver Eagles for over a year now. Supplies are tightening. Doesn`t it make sense to be in a business that offers something rare that more and more people will desire in the future? (The general public will jump in when prices are a LOT higher, like they did with stocks and real estate in the past. That will be the time to sell. Now is the time to buy.) Get ahead of the curve and profit from this growing trend. Enjoy receiving beautiful Silver Eagles - the most popular one full ounce .999 pure silver coins in the world. You also have the opportunity to receive unlimited Silver Dollar bonuses. Acquire your Silver American Eagles before prices really take off!

I thought I would share with you some ways that silver dollars have traditionally been used (besides for every day currency in the "olden" days).  A conversation I recently had reminded me that these beautiful coins were passed around to family members my whole life for various occasions... 

*Tooth Fairy money
*Christmas Stocking Stuffer
*The Bride keeps one in her shoe on her wedding day
*Drop one in the Bride's money bag while the couple have the first dance
*New Born Baby (for baby or Mom)
*Birthdays
*Any time a "piggy bank" is given as a gift, the pig is passed around to the party guests to be filled with silver.
*Graduations
*Just to collect!

I really do like being able to share this with you...  Silver Eagle Dollars are REAL money unlike Federal Reserve Notes (paper currency) and are a store of value that is not subject to inflation.  In fact, with the ever-increasing inflation and debasement of the paper currency, precious metals such as gold and silver (real money) are the best way to accumulate and protect your wealth.  Plus, getting these beautiful silver coins in the mail is just plain fun!

I will continue to send out this monthly promotional featuring the current special I might be offering, letting you know about any new services or products being offered, and making announcements of anything new at White Dragon Therapies. I normally send out only ONE email (usually on the first of each month) every month.  Although, there has been rare occasions where I send out a special second email during the month.

If you do not wish to receive these newsletters, please use the "safe unsubscribe" feature at the bottom of this page.  I am paying to use Constant Contact to help me provide and deliver this newsletter to you.  Constant Contact is permission only based email.  I ask that you please do not click the spam button on your computer to discontinue receiving these newsletters.  If I get too many spam notices on my account, Constant Contact will discontinue my membership.  I thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
(keep in mind that a massage therapist is NOT a physician.  I am not qualified to diagnose or prescribe.  I am however able to asses and provide self care suggestions and refer clients to specialists.  So, with this in mind here we go...)


Pathology Insight: Human digression of common sense.

This month I decided to not write an article.  These videos are lessons we should take to heart and do our best to think for ourselves.  Enjoy. 

Have you ever wondered why things are so wrong sometimes? (Warning: don't watch this video unless you are prepared to laugh.) Also, watch the video on the town of Allopath... it's broken too!
 

It's Broken! 

The Town of Allopath

~F.Y.I.~

Have you been in a vehicular collision?
(the DMV does not all them "accidents" anymore!)

Are you experiencing headaches, neck pain, back pain, arm or leg pain?

Did you know that in most cases your auto insurance will cover 100% of your chiropractic care without a referral from a medical doctor?  Your chiropractic provider can refer you for massage therapy which may also be 100% covered by your auto insurance.

If you have a pathology topic that you would like me to comment on, please email me.  I would be most happy to write about what any of you want to know about and how massage therapy may help you.
