Dr. Bensky has been actively involved in the practice, teaching, and translation of East Asian medicine and osteopathic medicine for over thirty years. His training has included a Diploma in Chinese Medicine from the Macau Institute of Chinese Medicine (1975), a Doctor of Osteopathy from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (1982), and a Ph.D. from the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (2006).

The primary modalities that he uses are a variety of osteopathic manipulative approaches, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicines. It is important to remember that in all of these forms of medicine, the actual treatment is usually the patient's response to the what the practitioner does, not what the practitioner does directly. The focus of the treatment is on the getting the organism to regain its normal balance by engaging it in a dialogue through providing information and (usually) gentle forms of stimulation.

For this reason, not only is it not a good idea to be treated too frequently, but there are often things that patients need to do in their daily lives in order to get the optimal response. This can include physical activities and exercises, dietary or lifestyle changes. Often it will be helpful to make sure that you have a healthy approach towards life.

Patti Conklin is a very gifted clairvoyant and intuitive, but combine her preternatural 'knowing' with her extraordinary sight, and you have a very rare combination. Physicists tell us that our entire physical world is made up of tiny, vibrating particles and this is the world that Patti Conklin sees. Ms. Conklin also adds that it is not just the physical world that is made of vibration. We know that the visible and invisible light spectrum, from all the visible colors to the x-rays and gamma rays, are also vibrations or frequencies. These frequencies are easily detected with our own eyes (the visible spectrum) or with the appropriate instruments. Patti vision yields something even more spectacular. Patti sees the "other side" just as easily as the physical world. She can see Angels, Spirit Guides and the Universe in all of their vibrational states. Recently, Patti has received a lot of attention from individuals and medical personnel who have
