by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. Spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, is the loss of a fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy. The most common cause of miscarriage is a genetic abnormality. A second miscarriage generally occurs in only 1% of women. However, there are women who experience habitual miscarriages (three or more consecutive spontaneous abortions). Almost one-third of miscarriages may occur as...

by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. The fact that there has to be a "day" for this disorder, saddens me, yet it is appropriate for everyone to be more aware and that is why, as a society, we do this. HIV is a virus. Viruses infect the cells of living organisms and replicate (make new copies of themselves) within those cells.

by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. I am often drawn to the psychological aspects of any healing modality and essential oils are no different. Roses represent Love, Trust and Self-Acceptance. Originally from Asia, there are some 250 species with over 10,000 hybrid varieties. Only three can be distilled for their aromatic perfume.

by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. This is a self awareness exercise I started in my practice in New York City over 12 years ago. It has always been an offering to my patients who come in during the week of Thanksgiving for treatment. I would ask them to take home this handout and to fill it out in their private time. If they were interested in doing a little self attunement exercise, this would be the...

With the change of time and the decreasing amount of sunlight we get this time of year, research has shown that mid to late Fall brings mood swings and depression. It is not known why some people (those between 18 and 30) are more likely to suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) and why it seems to affect women more than men ... unless the statistics are based on the fact that women are more...

Fall is the season when certain disorders are more prevalent than at other times of the year. Asthma, allergies and skin disorders can affect almost any one susceptible to them. Prevention is key. The lung and large intestine are the internal organs related to Fall. These organs are associated with the emotion of "taking in" and "letting go." Taking in through the nose and mouth such as the breathe...

Study Links Hormone Therapy to Higher Risk of Breast Cancer Death (Just another reason why alternative answers for HRT are so important!) Hormone replacement therapy, a common treatment for post-menopausal women, may be twice as likely to die from breast cancer as women who never underwent hormone replacement, according to new research published Wednesday, October 18, 2010 by the Journal of the American...

Exercise actually gives you energy. Study after study supports those words, including one by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. More than 200 federal employees were placed on a moderate, regular exercise program. The results: 90 percent said they had never felt better. Almost half said they felt less stress, and almost one-third reported they slept better. Energetic exercise, aerobics,a...
