Re: Hawaii or elsewhere job op for ND - Q

[Guest guest]

Hi Brad,

I went to school with at Bastyr, and also at Wu Hsing Tao (5-Element

acupuncture). I believe she may have just finished up at Wu Hsing. I graduated

in 2008 and she was 2 classes behind me.

Her position should be legit.

> Hi everyone,

> I just saw this job offer on the big island (Hawaii) and was wondering if you

have heard of this doc or clinic?? I am still under-employed here in the Bay

Area and so is my fiance, . She is a chef whom specializes in sugar-free,

gluten-free and Dairy-free recipes and has a cookbook now too

(www.NoWheatNoDairyNoProblem.com). We both miss Hawaii and warm weather where we

thrive, and are just not making much of living here in California after many

years of trying. Thus, we have been exploring many options such as Hawaii, New

Zealand (large gluten-free and health minded population) and Palm Desert areas.

I still love Portland and would consider going back (NCNM class of 2004) but she

gets too cold and depressed (still working on her HPA and Thyroid axis!). So,

please let me know if you have heard of these guys below or any other

opportunities for an ND and a chef in your area! I still specialize in BHRT,

detox and fasting, drainage, CFS and Gastro, etc. here is the ad:
