without harmful side effects. Toward this goal, I have obtained additional
training in Crano-sacral, lymphatic drainage, American and Chinese herbal
therapies, tuina, reflexolgy, facial acupuncture, acu-tonics. In addition,
I have completed level one of Yoga instructor training. In 1992 I conducted
a self directed, non-published study of weight loss using seeds and ear
