Hi Folks,
I want to apologize for not getting some things done this year. There are a few lessons that need videos (or better videos) and I posted on some of the lessons that the videos would be up early this year. I also haven’t been on the forum much this year.At the beginning of this year, I made plans to finish and upload those videos as a first priority and expected that it would be done by the early spring. Unfortunately, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a brain tumor in late January. The tumor wasn’t malignant (not cancerous) but did require brain surgery, a hospital stay in the neurosurgery ICU, about a month of recuperation, and then six weeks of daily radiation treatments. All of this was done out of state away from my office and studio. Since the spring was lost to me and the summer was full of conferences and events I’d committed to and to two schools (one on emergency medicine and one on auricular therapy) that I’d committed to producing with Dr. Jed Adamson, the lesson video production had to be put off until winter.Since getting back up to speed and getting the crazy summer obligations behind me, I have again prioritized getting those last few new videos up. In fact, I made up a filming schedule and started working on it just a couple of days ago. I have every expectation of getting them all done by the end of the year.I’ve also just scheduled a free online webinar for students (something else I had meant to do more of this year). I’ll be sending out an announcement email with the details in the next few days. Those free student webinars will be happening every month or two.The dust is finally settling this year, and some nice school things will be happening in the next several weeks as I finally get a chance to do all the “catch up” on things I wanted to do in the school last spring. I’ll also be on the forum lots more. :0)I appreciate everyone’s patience. December will see some fun things and I also have some cool website and school projects and a couple of new books planned for 2025. Happy holidays everyone. I love and appreciate you all an am grateful to be part of your lives.Doc JonesPS: I’m healthy and doing well and I’m apparently no more likely than anyone else to need brain surgery again. The surgeons said that after this last one there just wasn’t much left in there and that it was kind of drafty. :0)Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

Prayers continue your way for the best of health. Remember, if you need to slow down to keep your health at its best, no worries about timelines of getting a long list of things accomplished. We appreciate all that you have done and it is a blessing to have access to all of your knowledge. May the good Lord continue to be with you and keep you in health.
