People who suffer from regular migraines know what it feels like to be in pain. Many people just look for any over-the-counter medication to help take the edge off. Others go to a neurologist for consultation and advice and prescription pills. What if a migraine could be effectively treated without the need for pills or costly specialist visits? The good news for migraine sufferers is that acupuncture has been found to treat migraines, and is an affordable and worthy alternative to medicines and other potential treatment plans. 
The results of a recent study conducted at the University of Otago, in New Zealand, indicate that eating kiwifruit can make one feel better. This is accomplished in two ways: energy is increased and mood is improved. Over a period of six weeks, 54 young and healthy university students consumed kiwis on a daily basis. The study participants were split into two groups. The men in one group ate only half a kiwifruit each day, while everyone in the other group ate two kiwis per day. The researchers concluded that those who ate two kiwis per day experienced less fatigue (due to increased energy) and less depression than the other group.

I started seeing Jim Pedersen back in March after my first miscarriage. At every appointment, Mr. Pedersen took the time to listen to me and find out the best way to help my body prepare for a healthy pregnancy. I would often go to these appointments down and very discouraged. Mr. Pedersen gave me the support and encouragement I needed to get through this very difficult time in my life. I always left each session with hope and my spirits
... Read more »I started my visits to help me control stress and have since found relief for assorted pains I’d grown used to. My back, my hips, and my ankles have all received attention and are working more like they used to before age took over. This would be worth it for the quiet time alone, but the health benefits are far more extensive than I’d hoped. I can see how the balance in my body is being restored and I can’t

Thank you Jim!! FA, Saint CharlesIt was recommended by my doctor to see Kara, ‘an expert,’ for a flare up of my trigeminal neuralgia. She amazingly took care of the excruciating nerve pain within a few sessions. I was pain free, and headed to an already scheduled hip replacement. I healed so quickly from that surgery, (that was my sixth surgery ever), that the doctors and physical therapists were amazed. I attribute that to the acupuncture, which not only helped my pain go away, but... Read more » - Sign up to receive news and updates and get my free report:“The Top 10 Reasons to Try Acupuncture”
