Old person smell … acupuncture can help that!

I think the "old person smell" thing that's been in the news lately is fascinating in that it seems to be related to the improper degeneration of fat cells. My take on it is that we don't metabolize the fatty cells so quickly as we age leading to the odor. Damn. The researcher in me wonders if that smell is less potent in FIT older people because they might have fewer fat cells that could get smelly or because their fat cells metabolize faster. Acupuncture can make your digestion and metabolism work better so that your systems stay in tune and working at their best.  Just a thought …..

The original reference is old but the media just picked up lately on the smell thing it seems. Reference: April 2001 issue of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, article entitled: "2-Nonenal, Newly Found in Human Body Odor Tends to Increase with Aging". They found that the concentration of 2-nonenal tended to increase with the age of the subjects and determined that that 2-nonenal is generated by the oxidative degradation of omega-7 unsaturated fatty acids, such as palmitoleic acid and vaccenic acid, found on the skin surface.

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES WITH BCBS GROUP 104 OR 105 HEALTH INSURANCE can get 24 free visits of acupuncture a year once your out of network deductible is met (and it's usually pretty small and easily met). Postal employees: ever have a back ache? Neck ache? Knees ache? Acupuncture works for that.

If you want to try acupuncture give me a call; 303-947-6224.
INSURANCE BILLING: your acupuncture or other Chinese Medicine treatments may be covered by your health insurance.  As a service to you, we find out whether or not your health insurance covers acupuncture and our other therapies and when it does we bill your insurance.  There are plans that cover it, some pay for unlimited visits or enough visits for you to come every other week and be the healthiest employee in your company! Why not be healthier! That's what the insurance company realizes - preventing surgeries, the use of expensive pain killers, and your having to have medical procedures saves them (and you!) money.  Even preventing the common cold saves your employer money.
