Guest Speaker: Michael Tierra, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Holistic Diet and Lifestyle Guidance
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are effective and drug free therapies that can help address a wide variety of common ailments and problems. Michel says that often a person’s Qi—biological nervous energy- is out of balance. These imbalances can contribute to a person’s health problems. Michael operates East West Herb and Acupuncture Clinic in Santa Cruz.
 
Detective: Cameron enlightened us with some interesting presidential facts and figures!
