Eliminate Allergies
A neat way to eliminate allergies, just like adjusting the default settings on your computer
by Catherine Coudray Acupuncture Physician

By putting the energy principles of Acupuncture to work, Catherine Coudray AP, can teach the body how to not have an allergy attack. The allergic response, sneezing, coughing, stuffed up nose, flushed face/cheeks, watery eyes, headache etc.… is kind of learned behavior. Once your body senses a food or chemicals or smell or a plant, pollen as dangerous, it stages an allergic reaction/attack as an immune system defense.
The particularities of the treatment follow directly from the information Catherine Coudray gathers from EDS*. In many respects, EDS is both the source and the diagnosis and the means of delivering treatment. During the diagnostic phase Catherine investigates a patient's potential allergic reaction to up to 1400 different foods and substances (even supplements and medications). The energy imprints of the allergenic substances and variety of their strengths are contained in a vial, which the patient holds. While holding the vial with imprinted material the patient is treated with Acupuncture, this application gives the brain a new message that the energy is now acceptable and no further attacks are necessary. It's like adjusting the default setting on a computer.

*EDS is a form of computerized information gathering based on physics, not chemistry. A non-invasive electric probe (sound wave) is placed at specific points on the hand, face, and feet, corresponding to acupuncture points at the beginning or the end of energy meridians. Minute electrical discharges (sound waves) from these points are seen as information signals about the condition of the body's organs and systems, useful for your Acupuncture Physician, Catherine CoudrayAP. In evaluation and developing a treatment plan. Catherine is also working close with Dr. Kirti Kalidas MD. ND, the two are dedicated and experienced to work with you on your healing journey.

Acupuncture Face Lift the Non Surgical procedure that restore Body, Mind and Spirit.

By Catherine R. Coudray AP. Dipl. AC. Of Altamonte Springs, Fl.

Ancient cultures have always known that beauty comes from the inside out. Common sense tells us that treating the underlying cause why someone is aging is preferable to masking the symptoms and allowing further decay and dysfunction to continue in the body. With this highly effective method of using Traditional Chinese Medicine (with or without) needles this is My Ultimate Non- Surgical, Non Invasive Acupuncture Face-Lift that can simultaneously benefit a person’s appearance AND overall health.

Using my training and skills, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is painless and a non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. This is more than a cosmetic procedure. This acupuncture beauty treatment and rejuvenation and revitalization is designed individually based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM’s treatment protocol, to help the whole body look and feel younger, when treating the body’s internal imbalances you also treating the root of the aging process, this time with special emphasis on rejuvenating the face. Why not treat the body to beauty as well as wellness? This is also known as the “Acupuncture Face-Lift”.

400 years ago the Chinese discovered that many meridians either begin or end on the face. Acupuncture physicians over the centuries developed the “know how” to specifically affect the face while treating the whole body and the underlying factors that are the cause of illness and also the aging process. This treatment protocol is based on Classical Acupuncture, or TCM, Traditional Chinese Medicine. The method helps to improve muscle tone and dermal by prodding collagen production that is to increase and aid in their dispersal to firm the skin and fill out wrinkles. Bags and sagging around the eyes, face and neck can be significantly reduced and toned up and metabolism is improved through this treatment, resulting in reduced puffiness often to the point of elimination. This may erase as many as five to fifteen years from the face. (Result may vary depending upon the patient/client previous condition; an evaluation is done prior to treatments).

Because Acupuncture addresses body, mind and spirit, an overall stress is reduced and a healthy facial coloring and innate beautiful radiant appearance is restored. Many patients/clients experience other benefits with this Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, For example: Better concentration, relaxed body, freedom from suffering, better and more satisfying health, more energy, greater comfort, peace of mind, improved appearance, feeling good, lighter, easier, even great, greater strength, greater acknowledgment of self, stronger immune system, self improvement, having more fun in life, better quality of life, greater commitment to well-being.

Other benefits of Acupuncture Face-lift
Improve muscle tone and dermal contraction
Increase collagen production and has an excellent effect on its dispersal
Helps to firm and reduce bags around the eyes and neck as well as sagging tendencies.
Helps eliminate puffiness by improving metabolism and thus eliminating excess fluids
Helps eliminate fine lines of the face and has a diminishing effect on larger wrinkles

Moisturizing the skin by increasing collagen, local blood circulation and lymph fluids to the face
Improves facial color by increase of peripheral circulation
Reduces stress
Promotes an overall health and well-being
Nerve pathways in the head and the whole body are open thereby enhancing the flow of energy and vitality throughout the whole body
Crystallized emotions held in the face can be released, allowing one to present a fresh relaxed radiant appearance
Brings out the innate beauty and radiance in YOU.
Why choose the Non-Surgical Face-Lift over a surgical procedure?
While not replacing the surgery, this is an excellent alternative and will also save you from unnecessary surgery.
Less costly
Safe
Virtually painless,
Acupuncture has no negative side effects or risk for disfigurement, swelling or bruising.
While this Non-Surgical procedure cannot reshape the nose or the chin, it will take years of your face and naturally improve your over all health.

The Art Of Life Through The Four Seasons

By Catherine Coudray AP. Dipl. AC.

Acupuncture Physician

“The way to health , happiness and harmony can be attained by all people, In our time, people age prematurely and get sick. This is due to a change in the environment, or is it because people have lost the correct way of life?” Therefore, the change of Yin and Yang through the four seasons is the root of life, growth, reproduction, aging, and destruction. By respecting this natural law it is possible to be free from illness.

“The three month of Spring Season bring about the revitalization of all things in nature. It is the time of birth. This is when heaven and earth are reborn. During this season it is advisable to retire early. Arise early also and go walking in order to absorb the fresh, invigorating energy. Since this is the season in which the universal energy begins anew and rejuvenates, one should attempt to correspond to it directly by being open and unsuppressed, both physically and emotionally. On a physical level it is good to exercise to loosen up tendons and muscles. Emotionally, it is good to develop equanimity. This is because springs season is the season of liver, and indulgence in anger, frustration, depression, sadness, or any excess emotion can injure the liver. Further more this would be a good time to do any cleansing program of liver-gallbladder, violating the natural order of spring will cause cold disease, illness inflicted by atmospheric cold, during the summer.”

“ The three month of Summer there is an abundance of sunshine and rain. The heavenly energy descends, and the earthly energy rises. When these energies merge there is intercourse between heaven and earth. As plants mature and animals, flowers, and fruit appear abundantly. One may retire somewhat later at this time of year, while still arising early. One should refrain from anger and stay physically active, to prevent the pores from closing and the qi from stagnating. One should not overindulge in sex, although one can indulge a bit more than other seasons. Emotionally, it is important to be happy and easygoing and not hold grudges, so that the energy can flow freely and communicate between the external and internal. In this way illness may be averted in the fall. The season of fire and heart also encompasses late summer, which corresponds to the earth element/ stomach and digestion. Problems in the summer will cause injury to the heart and will manifest in the autumn.

“ In the three months of Autumn all things in nature reach their full maturity. The grains ripen and harvesting occurs. The heavenly energy cools, as does the weather. The wind begins to stir. This is the changing or pivoting point when the yang, or active, phase turns into its opposite, the yin, or passive, phase. One should retire with the sunset and arise with the dawn. Just as the weather in autumn turns harsh, so does the emotional climate. It is therefore important to remain calm and peaceful, refraining from depression so that one can make the transition to winter smoothly. This is the time to gather one’s spirit and energy , be more focused, and not allow desires to run wild. One must keep the lung energy free full, clean, and quiet. This means practicing breathing exercises to enhance lung qi. Also, one should refrain from smoking and grief, the emotion of lung. This will prevent the kidney or digestive problems in the winter. If this natural order is violated, damage will occur to the lungs, resulting in diarrhea with undigested food in the winter, This compromises the body’s ability to store in winter.”

“ During the Winter months all things in nature wither, hide, return home, and enter a resting period, just as lakes and rivers freeze and snow falls. This is a time when yin dominates yang. Therefore one should refrain from over using the yang energy. Retire early and get up with the sunrise, which is later in the winter. Desires and mental activity should be kept quiet and subdued. Sexual desires especially should be contained, as if keeping a happy secret. Stay warm, avoid the cold, and keep the pores closed. Avoid sweating. The philosophy of the winter season is one of conservation and storage. Without such practice the result will be injury to the kidney energy. This will cause wei jue, consisting of weakness, atrophy of muscles, lower back pain, and coldness in the spring., manifest as paralysis, wei/flaccid syndrome, arthritis, or degenerative disease, weakness of bones and tendons. This is because the body has lost its ability to open and move qi energy in the spring.

“So the full cycle can be seen, not here in Florida, but the more important it is to live according to the seasonal changes since the weather is not helping us to feel the great difference between summer and fall etc… This transformation of yin and yang forces is the basis of the growth and the destruction of life. By following this universal order and respecting this natural law it is possible to be free from illness. This is when the use of Acupuncture can prevent illness before it begin, by having the body in harmony with the seasons . Detoxification is the body’s natural process of elimination or neutralizing toxins via the liver, the kidneys, the lungs/exhalation and perspiration, when following the art of life through the four seasons and the principle of balance between yin and yang energies you can be free of illness, I do recommend combing an exercise, stretching, massage and breathing ( Qi-Gong &Yoga) to promote energy flow, and meditation to help maintain and harmonize yourself with the universe, this will help keeping you centered in a stressful world and our modern way of life.

Imagine The Future of Medicine is Here Now!
QXCI (Quantum Xrriod Consciousness Interface System)
By Catherine Coudray AP. Dipl. AC. BSN ,Acupuncture Physician

Imagine a time in the future when there would be a cutting edge, state -of -the-art device that would have the power and the scope to scan the entire body. It is here and the future medicine is for you to experience today,
With the largest medical software package in the world, the QXCI is capable of accurately assessing and normalizing underlying energetic imbalances: it automatically provides the information needed for the body to restore itself. QXCI empowers you to find the subconscious reasons for many illnesses and diseases. Here is where healing should start. QXCI's is the only Evoked Potential Biofeedback Device that utilizes a complete Three Dimensional Loop.
How it works? Every part of the body is made of living cells. These cells are unique to each body part/organ and move at different speeds, or energy frequencies, creating a variety of frequencies throughout the body. It is necessary for the body to maintain accurate frequency levels in order for it to function in an organized, healthy disease free manner. This is a constant battle since the body trying to maintain homeostasis while we are daily exposed to toxins, bacteria, viruses and hundreds of other negative influences in our lives that put stress on our bodies and cause frequencies to be un-balanced.
You can think of this in the same way as tuning into a radio station: fine tuner has to be within a specific range of the station frequency to pick up the signal, otherwise you will not hear it become static. In this case of your body, if frequencies are not within their balanced, healthy range, your body will experience "static" in the form of illness.
For ex. Cancer vibrate at 60MHz and a healthy cell should have a frequency of 120MHz
Each living cell has vibration energy, and will signal and the QXCI will pick up on each signal and show us what virus, bacteria or illness we need to neutralize.
When you experience unbalanced or we say, out of tune-static, therefore you get sick, with pain or suffering and you may choose to take prescriptions or a host of other drugs and treatments, but most of these will only mask the symptoms and treat only the symptoms, they cannot modify the energy, Like the QXCI can do.
The QXCI will energetically balance you and tell you what is wrong, you will also in my clinic find that Herbals, Homeopathic and Acupuncture is prescribed to hurry your recovery and establish Homeostasis of your body and also boost your body's Energy level and Immune-system.
This is a non-invasive treatment that will help your body;

*Providing a better understanding of physical, emotional and mental health
*Balancing the complete body, mind and spirit
