My Doctor and the Gar Tibet Health Project

My doctor, Donna Kaplan, is also a Tibetan Buddhist and midwife. She is part of a health project for the people of eastern Tibet and is working to start a clinic and train women in midwifery. Check her out!



Isn't it funny how sometimes things just seem meant to be? For instance, when I went into her examination room, and there was a gigantic poster of the Medicine Buddha on the wall. I thought, yes, this woman is a real doctor. I'll have to do what she says. And now I'm doing it, and I feel good. I think she's right - I'm supposed to be a vegan. And my insulin sensitivity probably is causing my high cholesterol and my hormonal imbalance. So no sugar for me, at least not for a while.

I'll try and get an update on her work in Tibet next week when I see her. Tashi delek!
