Hand Analysis Workshop, Cathie Rodgers

Do you wonder if you are on the right path? Are you living someone else’s idea of what your life should be? The information read from your hands can be used as a road map to guide you to your fullest potential. Through hand analysis, strengths and weaknesses can be pinpointed to advance you on your life path. This is not a predictive system of fortunetelling, although a fortune we may find. Are you wanting and willing to take more control of your life? The fingerprint patterns, hand shape, lines on the palm, and various gift markings can be decoded to reveal your soul’s blueprint. The better you know your unique self, the better life can be. Can you imagine the possibilities of personal discovery through this powerful tool? Your life is literally in your hands.
In this workshop you will learn:
What Scientific Hand Analysis is
Where in the hands your soul’s agenda is found
Where in the hands your personality agenda is found
What the 4 major heart line types are

How to Prevent, Control or Eliminate Type II Diabetes Syndrome: Tea and Talk with the Doc

Alameda Acupuncture Presents: Tea and Talk with the Doc

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls diabetes “the epidemic of our time”. Type II Diabetes is becoming an epidemic: 1 out of 3 children born today are expected to have diabetes.

The current global prevalence of diagnosed diabetes is 165 million and is estimated to increase to 250 million by 2010 and to 330 million by 2025. These alarming figures do not include undiagnosed diabetes or pre-diabetic states.

People with pre-diabetes are at increased risk for developing Type II Diabetes and for heart disease and stroke. When you have diabetes, you are more than twice as likely as people without diabetes to have heart disease or a stroke. If you have diabetes, your risk of a heart attack is the same as someone who has already had a heart attack.

Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. Metabolic Syndrome affects 7 million adults in the U.S.
With your help, we can reduce the incidence of Type II Diabetes and metabolic syndrome in this country.
