Natural Path to Health ~ Happy New Year!
Dr. Carol McIntyre
 
Hello and Happy New Year! 
 
I do hope the New Year is treating you well so 
far.  Chinese New Year will begin January 31, 2014. This 
year is the Year of the Wood Horse. Wood represents 
change and growth, while the horse represents strength, 
respect and heart. The year of the wood horse will be 
one of great transition and power. Respect and strength 
plus change and growth will make this a most abundant 
and transformative year! 
 
There are many new changes happening at the 
office  this  year  as  well.  I  have  rearranged  the  office 
and  made  room  for  a  group  acupuncture  space  and 
alternative meditation space upstairs. Shiatsu massage 
is  now  being  offered  at  the  office.  Missy  is  there  on 
Mondays  by  appointment  and  we  hope  to  add  an 
additional day very soon.  Ask your neighbors… this 
type of massage is so amazing! You will love it. 
 
I  will  be  putting  together  a  protocol  for 
addiction treatment. This protocol will include weekly

or  biweekly  group  acupuncture  with  application  of 
specific  essential  oils  and  supplements.  It  will  not  be 
an overwhelming protocol and will be easy to follow. 
There  will  be  a  package  price  for  this  service  and  I 
expect to have it all put together by the end of February. 
Groups will start in March. Please call the office if you 
are interested in signing up. Space in group session will 
be limited to 4 people/session, so it would be great to 
get an idea of the number of people interested so I know 
how many different groups I need to have each week. 
Providing group sessions allows for better pricing and 
makes things more affordable for everyone. 
 
Addiction  treatment  can  be  applied  to  many 
different  types  of  addiction  including  cigarettes/
nicotine,  alcohol,  sugar,  food,  as  well  as  other  types 
of  addictions  to  substances  or  otherwise.  I  will  have 
an initial intake with each person to pinpoint the exact 
nature and level of addiction prior to starting the group 
acupuncture portion of the protocol. I am very excited 
to be able to offer this service and I hope many of you 
will utilize it.
 
Also,  I  am  pleased  to  tell  you  that  I  am 
working  with  the  Vernonia  Clinic  on  a  referral  basis 
and we will soon be meeting to discuss a pain protocol. 
Our  foresight  is  that  we  will  be  able  to  refer  patients 
accordingly and each take part in the healing process 
based on our specific skill set. This is a wonderful asset 
to the community as the two clinics in town are working 
so closely together to provide ideal care for our people. 
 
Remember that I have the inversion table and 
infrared sauna in office and available for use. First time 
is  always  free.  If  you  have  not  used  the  equipment 
before please wait for instruction before trying to use 
it by yourself… there are some guidelines to follow...
Safety  first.    Also,  I  will  be  starting  a  small  garden 
space  at  the  office  this  spring  as  well.  If  anyone  is 
interested please contact me. There is always work to 
be done! Office number is 503-429-3928. Let’s make it 
a GREAT year!!! 
 
Thanks for joining me~ Be Well.
