CURRENT: My research is interdisciplinary. In 2020 I completed the NCCAOM certification in Acupuncture and am Licensed in Colorado, Oregon and Arizona. During the last 3 years in practice I have organized community research projects on the San Fu Treatment, a practice thousands of years old to treat winter diseases in the middle of summer, which boost immunity using topical herbs on acupuncture points. The results showed greater than 50% improvement in Upper Respiratory diseases like asthma, with this treatment. I particularly like working with women and children and hope to bring this medicine to tribal nations, border and refugee situations, and into trauma medicine.

Continuing the on-going research of a 5,000 year timeline between punctuated climate shifts (drought and floods) and cosmic events (comets and supernova) and their reflection in culture adaptation.
