Read this article to view videos for Parts 1 & 2 of a 3 part discussion regarding the use of moxa, color lights and essential oils on one of the most important of all acupoints: Stomach 36. Chinese medicine teaches that everyone over 30 years old should do moxa therapy on Stomach 36, and that those over 40 should do it multiple times per week, to maintain health and help ensure longevity. Part 3 of this discussion will be presented in the upcoming live members class and the final live class before the summer break (July and August) scheduled for this Tuesday, 6/24/25. Find the entry link at the end of today’s Journal issue. I will demonstrate how to use both a moxa stick and moxa cones.
Arterial Plaque vs. Elevated Blood Cholesteroland Increased Heart Attack Risk; Dangers of Statin Drugs  Part I
This article by Dr. Berkowsky challenges the long-held belief that elevated cholesterol causes heart disease. It refutes the idea of “bad” cholesterol, highlighting its essential roles in producing hormones, vitamin D, and maintaining cell and brain health. High cholesterol may instead be a symptom of other issues, such as liver or thyroid problems.
Also learn about statin drugs, commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol, for their serious side effects. These include depleting CoQ10 (vital for heart and muscle function), causing muscle pain, nerve damage, and potentially increasing cancer risk.
A recent study is cited, suggesting that existing arterial plaque, not cholesterol levels, is the primary predictor of future buildup and heart attack risk.
