 Happy Chinese New Year! The Year of the Wood Horse - January 31, 2014

Horse years are turning points, points of change, transformation and liberation. Turbulent, untamed, and chaotic, every 12 years, the Horse kicks and demands "wake up and do something, you have nothing to lose".

It is a beautiful winter day; I am sitting in my home- talking to a woman who has a question on her thyroid on the phone. Nowadays I work three days from home and two days a week at the office. My office practice is more selective, saved for much more challenged and complicated patients. I LOVE to work HARD and I LOVE my freedom. I LOVE to take my breaks to walk with my dog Fletcher, play piano or go to the GYM (when there is no snow here this year). 

I now have an expanding and exploding team, so more people are getting helped (thousands) without me having to manage their sickness and medical catastrophes one at a time. I am so grateful for my HUGE team across the country. I am so grateful for those conventional medical doctors who continue to work in the stress laden sickness business. Thank God we have them. My patients are healthier than before. They are out enjoying life and they no longer get sick when I am gone. I, like the Chinese medicine doctors, get paid when I keep my patients healthy. What a paradigm shift!! 

I love to teach and travel and empower people - because they are able to learn about their bodies, to grow into more responsible, empowered people as positive, courageous and gratitude filled human beings. Together we learn how to heal ourselves within and look vibrant, youthful and glowing outside as well. Turning fifty and getting carded, riding my bike 100 KM a day up the mountains and hills all have been unexpected "side" effects of my own healing and anti aging program. Very few people know I have had an autoimmune challenge and "toxic liver" from years of pharmaceutical birth control pills. I am so grateful my health is no longer a downhill slide.

I heard a saying "If people are doing what they LOVE; they have never worked a single day. I am doing what I love to do every day.

As people living in the 21st century with overwhelming stress and environmental toxic challenges, Americans are looking for ways to stay clean, de-stressed and detoxified. As leaders in health care, over 40% of physicians are overweight and many are facing a decision on "early retirement and leaving medicine". So to heal your patients, we must heal ourselves first.

Many are in love with medicine and thriving like me. Many more can use the gift I received when I was at the bottom of the pit. "Ask and you shall receive". Let the words of hope spread like wild flowers. Let me be the messenger "How Doctors Can Achieve Better Patient Care and a more sustainable healthy practice: finding sanity in the insane world of modern medicine". Please email me if you want or you know of some wonderful physicians wanting this change. My email is [email protected] and my text is (530)-925-0565.

Courage is not about lack of fear. Courage is taking action in the face of fear
When written in Chinese, the word "Crisis" 
is composed of two characters: "danger" and "opportunity". 
Here was a gift card I received: it is titled: 
"Leadership"

You are a leader for the Higher Power, assertive and yet humble. True leadership is built upon a foundation of not having the need to be right. It follows the principles of righteousness and comes from a wisdom deep within. It is a belief that dreams can indeed become a reality. Remember, there is nothing more splendid than an idea whose time has come and the leadership to follow through with it.

Life is sweet and short. Don't postpone Joy. 

"When it becomes more difficult to suffer than change ... you will change." - Dr. Robert Anthony

The problems we face will not be solved by the minds that created them. In order for things to change, we must change!

Meet the Mount Shasta Integrative Medicine Team: 

  

At Mount Shasta Integrative Medicine (MSIM) we work as a team and encourage you, our readers, to become part of our community. We hope you enjoy our series of interviews inviting you to meet this team.
 This month I will introduce you to 
Dr. Sharon Olson
 
 MSIM: Hi Sharon, thanks for taking the time to chat with us today, can you share with us how you came to be on the Mount Shasta Integrative Medicine/Orenda team (MSIM), when and why?

SO: Two years ago I was in a medical crisis where my health was deteriorating. I was experiencing pre-diabetes symptoms. I had already had neurological auto-immune disease and my blood pressure was pretty much out of control. I actually put it out as a prayer to the universe. I knew that a lot of it was my stress level from dealing with the current state of medical practice with the insurance companies in charge. Literally within 24 hours a patient of mine called me up and said I had to go meet this doctor. I asked, "Why do I have to meet this doctor" and my patient said: "because she helped me." In that moment I was hooked because I have always been interested in truly helping people get well not drugging them to make money. That was the night I met Dr. Lu who had helped my patient and she knew something I didn't know. That got my attention. The instant I met Dr. Lu she was a beam of light! I knew immediately what she does is the missing link to truly helping people get well.

   

 

My practice has reached its capacity so I will not be accepting new patients until March 2014.

 

Doctors in Latin means teachers, patients are healers. To follow this incredible principle and discovery I have decided to focus my practice on education and being a facilitator for healing. I'm maxed out on taking new patients but if you have questions please come to my weight loss class (under calendar of events). Everyone is welcome!

 

Please call Dr. Lu's Redding office if you would like to get in earlier.

 

Cathy Ochs PA-C, Physician Assistant, works with Dr. Lu and  is available to see patients at the Redding Integrative Medicine office. Call (530) 605-1505 to schedule an appointment - can talk to her assistants either Shelly or Elaine

Testimonial of the Month
 
        Two years ago I was fat, wrinkled, angry and depressed. I started on the Orenda ultimate pack. I found that my body could heal itself given the proper nutrients. This pack corrected 90% of my problems but I still wanted to lose weight. I wasn't willing to entertain any weight loss program until I knew it would work. At this time Orenda came out with their Clean, Burn, Shape program and I just knew it would work. 
        I started on it and within 40 days I lost 40 pounds and four pant sizes. I have continued on the program on and off, if I gain anything, and as soon as I go back onto it, I immediately lose the weight within two days. I lost all my cravings so the desire to cheat didn't even exist. I believe it re balances all your hormones. It was amazing to see how my body responded so well.      I feel my body now is as good as when I was in high school, I love it! Overall I never realized that I could get back to this weight. Even my tummy has disappeared. 
      I'm so grateful to Dr. Lu for showing up at the right time. I trust that the universe always drops the right information into my lap when I need to see it. I have found that over and over in my life when I'm really up against a wall I always surrender the information to the universe and expect an answer to come in. It just always makes my head spin when I get the answer so quickly.
