ICAMA

I am going to post this based on my thoughts and experience not on any factual
information. However, I do want to share my thoughts because I think they are interesting.

Last week someone asked me what I thought about the relationship between getting
in better balance and the health of the teeth and gums. And, if I thought that intervention
was a good idea. I shared some of the things with her that I am about to say here.

But, I would love to do a study on this because it is something that I have though a lot
about over the years and am just not sure of.

How much does diet and and supplementation influence the mouth?

Over the last week when I have been contemplating this, I cam up with several
examples:

I can't believe another month went by so fast! The support Group meeting this month will be next Friday the 12th at 4 pm Pacific.

I look forward to talking to all of you! 

I dont know how many of these are around. But, for those of you who are local, this is good to know!

But, be careful of some yoghurt places that are "sugar free" mostly that means splenda, and sometimes they offer some with splenda some with agave, you have to ask!

One of my patients sent this in and wanted to share:) I recommend subbing in agave or maple syrup in place of the sugar. Otherwise they sound really tasty. If you want, you can even use raw cocoa powder instead of regular. Just make sure it is unsweetened.

BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

I often serve these with homemade ice cream, so delicious!

And for those of you who are able to eat chocolate and treats, I found this book. I have not read it, so I cannot guarantee there are not ingredients that I don't advise, but, it looks good and RAW chocolate is even better than not.

This is going to be a really great year for ICAMA. I have exhaustingly discussed my 
numerous goals for it and I am going to do my best to make them happen this year.

I think the energy I am putting out, as does happen in life, is coming back to me
100 fold. Suddenly help is coming from everywhere.

A new manual will be being posted on FAQ and helpful hints early in treatment, thanks
to one of my patients, who will remain anonymous unless she tells me it is ok to disclose
her identity. That will be here soon.

Another of my patients and her family are starting a fundraising project that they call

I have received many questions lately regarding red meat. So, here is the scoop:

Lately the issue of veggies has been coming up for a lot of people in treatment lately so, I thought I would post on the subject.

In Chinese medicine, texts suggest that vegetables be eaten cooked for those with digestive weakness, or, AKA, Spleen Qi deficiency. And, in some cases, I also make that recommendation, where it seems applicable. In those cases, it is more likely that the person has so much pain and bloating in their abdomen that eating raw veggies would create more gasses and therefor create more pain and pressure on the bladder.

Just kidding.

Actually, a hotel IN California, RIGHT around the corner-almost-from our office that we often will refer our out of town patients to has extended ICAMA patients a special rate of $99.00 per night.

Holiday Inn Express West Los Angeles
11250 Santa Monica Blvd.
Los Angeles, California 
310-478-1400 
800-308-5432
Tell them you are one of BOMAMED/ICAMA patients

Their normal rate is $189.00 per night.

We will be putting up an advertising banner for them so that people can find them easily. We are VERY GRATEFUL to them for doing this for our patients.
