			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>hi all,</p>
<p>The Del Mar Rendezvous Restaurant in Del Mar</p>
<p><a href="http://www.DelMarRendezvous.com" target="_self">http://www.DelMarRendezvous.com</a></p>
<p>we recently found a gluten-free restaurant and wanted to pass along the information to you all.</p>
<p>We have been serving gluten-free dishes for all five years of our existence and I recently created a gluten-free menu (attached) which we have available to our guests in the restaurant and advertise as available on our lunch and dinner menus.  We also post the gluten-free menu on our website in both an html and .pdf format, have separate buttons on our computer for the gluten-free menu to avoid confusion, and have either myself or the other manager double check that the items were made as requested by the kitchen before they head to the tables.  In order to create gluten-free dishes we purchase a much more expensive gluten-free soy sauce but do not feel it fair to charge more for the plates, even though this affects our margins, so we do not.  I look forward to hearing back and being a part of your wonderful resource.  The Gluten-Free Menu is available at: <a href="http://www.delmarrendezvous.com/gluten-free-menu.html" target="_self">http://www.delmarrendezvous.com/gluten-free-menu.html</a> The PDF Gluten-Free Menu is available at: http://www.delmarrendezvous.com/gluten-free-menu.pdf  A map and directions to the restaurant are available at: <a href="http://www.delmarrendezvous.com/directions.html" target="_self">http://www.delmarrendezvous.com/directions.html</a> Some other notes about our restaurant and our Gluten-Free Menu:  1. Our Gluten-free menu has over 40 items.  2. We have 18 lunch specials on our Gluten-free lunch menu (11 of which are $9.95 or less).  3. We have been making Gluten-Free dishes for the entire 5 years of our restaurant&#8217;s existence (and never had a complaint or reported incident of anyone becoming ill from our food, Gluten-Free or otherwise)  4. On our computers we have a section dedicated to our Gluten-Free items which specifically instructs the kitchen to make the dishes with our Gluten-free soy sauce and/or make other modifications as needed.  Additionally the servers are required to notify the kitchen and one of the managers whenever a table requests a Gluten-free dish as an additional fail-safe.  5.

Since re-starting <a href="http://www.chicenter.com" target="_self">QiGong</a> we have had so many wonderful things come into our lives I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m leaving some out<br />
Basically, since starting Qi Gong with Master Ming Tong Gu and Federico Garcia, our lives have been enriched and blessed in ways too numerous and varied to fully express.  We thought we were positive and hopeful before qigong but the difference is amazing.  Heartfelt thanks to <a href="http://www.chicenter.com" target="_self">Ming Tong Gu</a> and <a href="http://www.qifieldtherapy.com" target="_self">Federico Garcia</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>My first introduction to QiGong came a few years ago when my friend Patty told me I should go to the Tibetan Healing Center in Hillcrest <a href="http://www.tibetanacademy.org/" target="_self">http://www.tibetanacademy.org/</a> because Master Ming Tong Gu was doing something called a &#8220;healing circle&#8221;. Well, after a few weeks of encouragement from Patty, I finally made it.  I felt such overwhelming energy, I had to leave half way through the event.  I wasn&#8217;t sure what was happening but I wasn&#8217;t sure it was good for me.  It was a feeling I hadn&#8217;t had and I wanted to make sure it wasn&#8217;t harmful.  Strange because I had been doing some energetic type work as part of my work as a physical therapist <a href="http://www.centerIMT.com" target="_self">www.centerIMT.com</a>.</p>
<p>I returned and started to understand that this feeling was the Chi energy field; I came to look for it and when I felt it, I knew it was doing something good.  I wasn&#8217;t sure what it was but I liked the effect.  I felt more relaxed and this sense of ease lasted for hours and even into the rest of the week.</p>
<p>I ended up taking Ming Tong Gu&#8217;s level one and two workshops and was progressing in my QiGong practice.  Then I had a series of accidents including being hit by a car and twisting ankles.  It was a strange time for me.  Now I realize this would have been a good time to continue with my QiGong, but I felt demoralized and quit doing it.  I actually stopped doing it mostly, for the next few years.</p>
<p>During these years, my friend Patty would ask me almost weekly if I had done my QiGong; Usually I just laughed it off; but I stared realizing I would go back to it at some point.  It took years before I would return.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll September 2009 was approaching and some things I had read, indicated that this was an important time, and that much change was in store for the planet and for people.  I saw that Ming Tong Gu was doing a healing circle at UCSD in mid September 2009 so I decided to go.  He had a two day workshop going that weekend and I ended up taking the 2nd day&#8217;s class with my fiance, Jen.  We agreed to do our QiGong daily again.</p>
<p>Something Ming Tong said really hit home.  He told us how doing QiGong on a regular basis was a way to get &#8220;the secret&#8221; of &#8220;The Secret&#8221;. He encouraged us to try QiGong instead of our usual practice of meditation or relaxation and see what happens.  Well we did and that is when our world changed.  I mean we had things going pretty well but September 2009 was when our office was having difficult times.  We had 3 front office people leave the office and 3 physical therapists leave as well for a variety of reasons; re-locating etc.  Bottom line the world was looking a bit unsettled.  Somehow I didn&#8217;t feel worried but I thought it was a very good time to do QiGong on a daily basis.  I had no idea all the changes to come.</p>
<p>Since re-starting QiGong we have had so many wonderful things come into our lives I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m leaving some out.  We had our friend and colleague Kim Burnham, PhD <a href="http://www.kimberlyburnhamphd.com" target="_self">www.kimberlyburnhamphd.com</a> contact us from the east coast and she started working with us. Kim brought amazing results to our patients and inspired us to learn a method she was using called <a href="http://www.matrixenergetics.com" target="_self">Matrix Energetics</a>. We had news that one and possibly two physical therapists were moving to San Diego and wanted to join our team. Kim told us about Richard Bartlett, DC, ND and his classes and method <a href="http://www.matrixenergetics.com" target="_self">Matrix Energetics</a> and we took his classes in Coronado, CA.  This truly blessed us with a turbo-charge of our Integrative Manual Therapy work and our daily QiGong practice.  Our patients started responding even quicker and with more complete recovery than with our <a href="http://www.centerIMT.com" target="_self">Integrative Manual Therapy </a>methods; and this was amazing to us as the Integrative Manual Therapy was already a powerful method for us.  We were attracted to some QiGong practitioners from Encinitas, namely Federico Garcia at <a href="http://www.Qifieldtherapy.com" target="_self">Qifieldtherapy.com</a> and we started bringing him in for weekly classes at <a href="http://www.missionhillspt.com" target="_self">Mission Hills Physical Therapy</a>.  This has brought much healing and health for ourselves, our patients and our friends.</p>
<p>Basically, since starting Qi Gong with Master Ming Tong Gu and Federico Garcia, our lives have been enriched and blessed in ways too numerous and varied to fully express.  We thought we were positive and hopeful before qigong but the difference is amazing.  Heartfelt thanks to <a href="http://www.chicenter.com" target="_self">Ming Tong Gu</a> and <a href="http://www.qifieldtherapy.com" target="_self">Federico Garcia</a> as well as <a href="http://www.matrixenergetics.com" target="_self">Richard Bartlet</a>.  I also want to thank with great appreciation and respect my good friend and teacher Sharon Giammatteo, PT, PhD whose work <a href="http://www.centerIMT.com" target="_self">Integrative Manual Therapy</a> started me on my journey.  Sharon told me that her purpose was to help people get healthy enough to get on their own surfboard so they could take their own wave.  This she has done for me and any thanks would not be complete without thanking her and her team at <a href="http://www.centerIMT.com" target="_self">CenterIMT.</a></p>

<div>
<p>Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), commonly referred to as reflex sympathetic dystrophy or RSD, is a syndrome in which pain, usually burning type, is out of proportion to the injury (either nerve or no nerve involvement). The pain may spread through the entire limb and/or to other parts of the body. Examples of precipitating events that may cause CRPS include the following: fractures, surgery, frostbite, soft tissue trauma, burns, MS, tight cast, strokes, heart attack and amputations. The symptoms are characterized by autonomic dysregulation such as swelling, vasomotor instability (skin becoming pale/cool/cyanotic or red/warm/dry), abnormal sweating, trophic changes (course hair, thick rigid or brittle nails, skin may become coarse or thin, smooth, and tight), hypersensitivity, abnormal motor activity, and decreased bone density.<br />
Medically, CRPS is managed by a variety of medications aimed lowering the rate of nerve firing, reducing inflammation, reducing anxiety, and reducing pain. More invasive measures include sympathetic nerve blocks in the spinal column or ganglion blocks, implanted dorsal column stimulation or decompression, all of which carry the same risks of any invasive procedure.<br />
The main reason for this entry is to share a positive treatment outcome for CRPS using IMT. In general, the physical therapy treatment for CRPS includes reduction of pain to allow the pt. to maintain function. Traditional forms of exercise such as aerobic, pool therapy, ROM, joint mobilization/soft tissue mobilization, exercise emphasizing compression and distraction, functional ex. and exercise that increases blood flow to the extremity or increase proprioception to the spinal cord may be beneficial All exercise must be extremely gentle and nonaggressive especially if not initiated during times of sympathetic blocks.<br />
My past experience with CRPS includes most patients unable to tolerate any manual techniques and very minimal exercise resulting in extremely slow progress. It has been shown in research that early intervention with physical therapy is extremely important to minimize loss of function. The earlier the intervention the more likely to reverse the dysfunction.<br />
Recently I evaluated a pt. with CRPS onset following a bunionectomy. The pt. presented 3 months post op with extremely antalgic gait, inability to bear more than 30% weight on the affected foot, and requiring a walking cast boot to tolerate being on her feet. The patient’s foot was swollen, reddened, and there was no active mov’t in the big toe. Within 5 treatments of IMT including light touch on areas of the body specific to affecting the autonomic nervous system and indirect myofascial release (vs. more aggressive direct techniques) the patient is able to bear 50-50% body weight, ambulate w/o the walking boot with more normality. Gait quality still consisted of slight antalgia, decreased push off and mild trunk shift but the patient is able to walk further and have more energy throughout the day to function. The skin has returned to a more normal color and edema has decreased resulting in less smooth/shiny appearance. The slough and calluses which persisted on her incision long after surgery fell off naturally within 1 week and active ROM has returned in the big toe. Range of motion home exercises are being performed in a warm bath and also passively to isolate different joints of the toe. Ankle ROM exercises are also completed in the bath. In no way is this patient healed or pain free but the quality of the toe/foot appearance, gait quality and tolerance have progressed more rapidly than I have ever seen in the past.<br />
I know I’m more than a little biased towards IMT but I want people out there to know that there is gentle, effective treatment out there that can make life a lot easier and functional if you have CRPS.

<h3>Wisdom Healing Qigong | Daniela Carraro &amp; Federico Garcia</h3>
<p>We are healing practitioners dedicated to transforming the mind, body and emotions. Qigong is the primary system of knowledge that facilitates this process: the process of cultivating our energetic awareness. By internalizing our consciousness we become aware of the flow of life that manifests in us. This awareness rightfully initiates an energy exchange between our individualized self and Nature.</p>
<p>We use mindfully executed movements, sounds and visualizations to awaken and embrace the self-healing impulse already present in every human being.</p>
<p>We work with groups and individuals, medical facilities and health clinics using the most effective method for energy cultivation: self-awareness. Healing then becomes the return to our original state of lightness, compassion and fulfillment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Dear friends,</p>
<p>I would like to invite you to our first Wisdom Healing Qigong Community event to be held next Wednesday, September 2nd from 7:15 PM to 8:30 PM.  Master Mingtgong Gu will be available to present on Wisdom Healing Qigong and answer our practice questions.  Our friends Ralph Havens and Jen Toussant of Mission Hills Physical Therapy will be our hosts.</p>
<p>I have been hearing many positive and encouraging reports regarding the practice of LQUPQD during and after our classes and events. Your enthusiasm in the results on your well-being plus the positive life-changes are wonderful to hear.  I wonder if you might be willing to share your experience in writing so that it can serve as an inspiration to all those beginning the practice or in the middle of a challenging life situation.  If you do, please email a brief description of whatever inspires you in your practice or connected to your life situation, you can include your name or initial if you want (I will post the messages as you send them).  I will post all the comments in a new page of the website dedicated to sharing our experience and supporting our community &#8211; Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Due to the limited time available in our classes we are usually unable to formally acknowledge each other in this way &#8211; however spontaneous expressions from yourself are what this is all about!  Therefore please feel free to share in our groups or in writing for all to hear.</p>
<p>Please visit <a href="http://www.qifieldtherapy.com" target="_self">www.qifieldtherapy.com</a> for updated class information and maps.</p>
<p>in gratitude,</p>
<p>Federico</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>&#8220;Disease prevention is not the same as wellness&#8221;  a quote from Dr. Roizen of the Cleveland Clinic.  Dr. Roizen&#8217;s Cleveland Clinic has been able to reverse chronic disease in over 80% of cases; and they did it through therapeutic lifestyle change programs.  Basically teaching people to eat right, exercise and decrease stress.  Sounds simple, but in reality most Americans have no clue how to eat right.</p>
<p>In the current Health Care Debate, it is refreshing to hear doctors, like Dr. Roizen talking about how we cannot just insure all our citizens with our current medical system.  Our current system is just not working.  We are currently ranked 37th in the world in health care as measured by how long we live, how many chronic diseases we deal with, and infant mortality.  Our current system is not working and to merely insure all Americans and use this same system is probably not the answer.</p>
<p>We need to quit poisoning ourselves with our food choices. We need to be taught how to shop for food; how to cook it and how to eat it!  This is where <strong>Therapeutic Lifestyle Change programs (TLC) </strong>or <strong>FirstLine Therapy programs (FLT)</strong> come into play.  These programs have been proven to clear chronic conditions.  You can google either of those terms and see research from the National Institutes of Health on how to reverse chronic disease or go to www.stopchronicdisease.com for information.</p>
<p>We have <strong>TLC</strong> or <strong>FLT</strong> programs that can teach you how to put these ideas to work for you.  Twelve week programs to get you on the track to doing what <strong>Dr. Roizen</strong> recommends to reverse chronic disease and live better, longer, healthier lives.</p>
<p>You can listen to Dr. Roizen&#8217;s comments at <a href="http://blog.cleveland.com/medical/2008/05/does_roizens_vision_of_longevi.html" target="_self">http://blog.cleveland.com/medical/2008/05/does_roizens_vision_of_longevi.html</a></p>
<p>and can get information on our TLC or FLT programs at<a href="http://missionhillspt.com/flt-wellness-program" target="_self"> http://missionhillspt.com/flt-wellness-program</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><strong>Health Care Debate:  How to Control Costs and Insure everyone</strong></p>
<p>Over the past few months, I have noticed a lot of people are talking on T.V., on public radio (<a href="http://www.NPR.org" target="_self">www.NPR.org</a>) , in movies, in the Senate, House of Representatives, the White House and in the community about health care reform, national health insurance and what can be done about it; how can we get health care to all our citizens and control costs.  There are people talking about it from many angles.  I’ve seen excellent viewpoints from sources as varied as movies, Food Inc (<a href="http://www.foodincmovie.com" target="_self">www.foodincmovie.com</a>)  Sweet Misery (<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6551291488524526735" target="_self">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6551291488524526735</a>) , and Bananas (<a href="http://www.bananasthemovie.com" target="_self">http://www.bananasthemovie.com</a>/) and the former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine and retired M.D. Arnold Relman (<a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106470889" target="_self">http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106470889</a>)  as well as Jeff Bland, PhD lead scientist from Metagenics <a href="http://www.metagenics.com/pdf/publications/200903%20bland%20-%20reforming%20the%20us%20health%20care%20system.pdf" target="_self">http://www.metagenics.com/pdf/publications/200903%20bland%20-%20reforming%20the%20us%20health%20care%20system.pdf</a> and they all have very good ideas.</p>
<p>I think we need a multi-faceted approach, which includes all of these viewpoints which I’ll summarize below:<br />
1.  Removing the Profit from healthcare – Insurance company CEO’s don’t need to make 100’s of millions of dollars a year.  Elizabeth Edwards has been quoted as saying that one year, out of every $700 spent on healthcare in the United States, $1 went to the CEO of United Health Care insurance company.  If you google “pay rate of health care CEO’s” you will see that each of these CEO’s make over $100 million / year.  We need to take this kind of profit out of the health care business.  Perhaps insurance companies need to go away as Dr. Relman believes.<br />
2.  We need to quit poisoning our population; Estimates are that 21 million Americans now have type II diabetes (8% of the population) and many more have pre-diabetes.  The Centers for Disease Control,(CDC) estimates are that one in three children born in 2000 will be diabetic (<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/06/14/eveningnews/main558728.shtml" target="_self">http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/06/14/eveningnews/main558728.shtml</a>) . This is directly related to the food we eat.  The movies above describe how this happened and how we can reverse it.  If we don’t reverse it there is no way we can control health care costs, but more importantly we’ll be killing off our kids!  As a nation, we absolutely need to change the “food” we’re putting in our bodies.<br />
3.   We need to change the way we treat the 80% of people who now see doctors for chronic diseases.  The current medical model does not work. The pharmaceutical industry spends over $5 billion dollars on advertising a year for medicine that at best controls some symptoms but does nothing to fix the problems. Chronic diseases are directly related to lifestyle and reversing these diseases has been done and written up in peer reviewed medical journals.  This is not new information.  This is known and well documented.  Many M.D.s and other health care practitioners are using these “Lifestyle Change Programs” to actually cure chronic diseases ranging from heart disease, diabetes, and auto-immune conditions.  You can read about this research at <a href="http://www.metagenics.com" target="_self">www.metagenics.com</a> and there is a newsletter on the implications of diet and disease at<a href="http://www.theburnhamreview.com/Mission_Hills_Gluten.html" target="_self"> http://www.theburnhamreview.com/Mission_Hills_Gluten.html</a></p>
<p>So there it is!  I find hope in the fact that these ideas are reaching the mainstream and ending up in a lot of people’s conversations and debates.  Please share your views and Vote with your $ for food, and healthcare decisions!</p>
<p>My best to you all</p>
