			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For over 2000 years Chinese medicine has been treating uterine fibrois and we at Health Synergy have formulated an effective Fibroid treatment plan. </p>
<p>The first descriptions of uterine fibroids in the Chinese literature was in the Ling Shu (ca. 100 B.C.), which defined shijia, a stony tumor (shi = stone; jia = mass).</p>
<p>Uterine fibroids also known as uterine myoma, leioma, fibroma, fibromyoma, or hysteromyoma are quite common and are benign (non cancerous) growths of smooth muscle tissue in the uterine wall. These fibroid masses occur in about 20% of women over the age of 20 and about 40% of woman between ages 35 and 45. However, fibroids usually go unnoticed until they grow during early menopause stages and sometimes during pregnancy. This can suggest high progesterone levels will increase fibroid(s) and as progesterone levels decrease fibroid(s) will shrink.</p>
<p>When fibroids push into the uterine cavity, they can lead to infertility or miscarriages.  The strategy for non-surgical treatment is to limit the size and symptoms of the fibroid(s) until spontaneous shrinkage occurs with menopause, typically just a few years after the initial diagnosis.<br />
Fibroids are viewed congested mass of stagnated blood in Chinese medicine. This simply means that the blood is not moving as freely and begins to accumulate in places where it shouldn&#8217;t to form solid masses. Acupuncture &#038; Chinese Herbal Medicine are very effective at moving blood and increasing the circulation of blood in the uterus in order to resolve the fibroid masses.</p>
<p>Only 10-20% of fibroid cases require surgery; interventions such as Chinese medicine, lifestye and diet chance is very effective and will usually remove the need for surgery especially if treated early.</p>

<p>A wonderful piece from ABC&#8217;s Catalyst on improving the odds of IVF with Acupunture.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the changes sweeping through our society this century is that women are having fewer children, later in life.</p>
<p>That may explain why the use of IVF to assist pregnancy is growing by up to 15% a year in Australia.</p>
<p>But experts say that science and technology has reached a plateau, and improvements in the success of these fertility treatments may only come from entirely different medical traditions – like acupuncture.</p>
<p>Mark Horstman travels to Beijing and Adelaide to find out.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One difference between Chinese medicine and materialist medicine is the former’s emphasis on time as opposed to space. So while Western medicine is interested in what specific organ/cell/chemical process is malfunctioning in your body, Chinese medicine is more likely to be interested in the time of day the symptom shows up or what time of year the ailment began. I have a particular interest in what the medicine has to say about the energy of the seasons. Each season is associated with one of the five elements, with the left over element (Earth) being assigned either to the transition time between the seasons proper or to a “late summer” time between summer and fall. I’d like to discuss each of these and provide some recommendations on how to align yourself with the season that most Northern hemispher-ers are experiencing – SUMMER.</p>
<p>First, I want to explain an important concept. There is a lag between what the energy and matter are doing within any given season. To understand this consider the easily observable pattern of heat throughout a given day. The sun is at its peak around the noon hour, but the hottest part of the day is much later. The same goes if you observe the sun through the seasons. Although summer solstice brings us our longest days, the “dog days of summer” with their unbearable heat come later in the summer – in August. So, in a sense, the energy of the sun leads the material response of the Earth’s surface with a considerable head start. At any given moment in the day or in the year your experience of the sun is going to be behind the actual activity of the sun.</p>
