It seems that many of my migraine patients go for years without this bit of advice...watch the sulfites in your diet. They are found in a lot of foods. Often neurologists do not take diet into account. Below is a very simple list.... https://www.docsopinion.com//everyday-things-trigger-migr/

Some of the wisest words I ever learned that really helped me this week; "Treat the whole patient, not just the lab value."

Acupuncture has been declared an essential business. We will be opening up on a limited basis starting next week. We will have a series of protocols in place which you can read at our web site www.nycpoints.com. Staff will be wearing face masks and face shields. Each room will sit with disinfectant and fresh air for 30 mins after the last patient. We have a UV disinfector. Hand sanitizer in every room, no waiting in lobby and a series of protocols to keep everyone healthy. Take care and be safe,

Just found my first tick of the season up here in western MA. It snowed the day before. Please, if you plan to hike in the woods use bug spray and cover your shoes and socks. The last thing you want right now is COVID 19 mixed with Lyme Disease.

I want to let everyone know that I will be closing NYC Points by Wednesday this week for the next two weeks or so. This is obviously not a decision taken lightly. But with all the major institutions in the city closed we need to follow suit. Cases are rapidly expanding in the city and there is no easy solution. We are a service that demands close contact with our clients and to continue, even with our top notch level of cleanliness, is irresponsible. I will continue to pa...y my staff the salaries through this crisis. And if my tiny business can do it I don’t see why Walmart or McDonalds cannot either. We are all citizens here. And, to my fellow professionals, I want to emphasize that none of us want this to happen. NOT WANTING IT AND DENYING THE SEVERITY IS NOT A PLAN. Good luck and we will reopen shortly.
