"Brian, this note is to thank you for the many years of incredible health care services you have provided me with. Your efforts, attention, and professionalism in helping me manage my issues have far exceeded any of my expectations. Like many, I had never tried acupuncture prior to being referred by my Physician and Neurosurgeon. As you know, since my back surgery in 2000, my body has not been the same. You were the first health care provider to provide me with long-term relief from years of chronic pain and nausea. For that I am forever thankful. You have now become my first point of contact when something goes wrong with my back. I can't tell you how much it means to me to know that despite the challenges that can arise, that I can come to you for a non-pharmaceutical solution. My only regret is that I never encountered the opportunity for acupuncture earlier in my life. As a former athlete, the overall relaxation and pain relief provided offer considerably greater benefit than just the issues that I came in for."
Sincerely,

"I have been seeing Brian Kramer for acupuncture treatment and Chinese Medicine. First of all the center is clean, nice, and peaceful. Everyone is friendly and professional. Brian takes his time to listen and really make you feel at ease and comfortable. I love that he is open minded and nonjudgmental. My treatments have been going very well and I feel better than I have in years. I see Brian as my primary health care practitioner. I feel more cared for here with this practice than when I have to visit a western medical doctor. A huge bonus for me, is that I can email Brian with a question or a concern and he will get back to me (even in non-business hours)!!! I can honestly say that I love this place and I am so glad that I have chosen a more natural and holistic approach to my own health!!"

In Memorium
My Brother-in-law, Daniel W. Bickel (1942 - 2012)
FARMINGTON, NM Daniel W. Bickel Feb. 28, 1942 - April 11, 2012
Daniel W. Bickel of Farmington, beloved husband, father, brother, teacher, poet, actor and all-around great person, died suddenly on Wednesday, April 11, 2012. He was born Feb. 28, 1942, in the Hongkew refugee district of Shanghai, China. In 1947, Daniel and his parents, Irvin and Hildegard Bickel, immigrated to the United States. They settled in Saint Paul, Minn. Daniel graduated from the University of Minnesota and Northwestern University. After college, he had various careers, including teaching at Tougaloo College in Mississippi, working at an underground newspaper in Rhode Island, and at a food co-op in Minneapolis.
In 1976, he moved to Albuquerque and began pursuing his teaching degree at UNM. He met Karen Kramer there and they were married.
After teaching at Laguna-Acoma and in Connecticut, Daniel and Karen moved back to New Mexico in 1988. They gave birth to two sons, Jesse and Isaac.
Daniel taught for 12 years at TseBitAi Middle School in Shiprock, and five years at Farmington High School. He was a well-loved educator, with former students from Shiprock and Farmington constantly recognizing him and acknowledging the positive effect he made on them.
After retirement, he continued to share his love for literature and books through San Juan College theater productions, the San Juan College Community Learning Center, and as a bookseller at Andrea Kristina's Bookstore and Kafé.
He is survived by his wife, Karen Kramer; sons, Isaac and Jesse Bickel; brother Jeffrey Bickel; and many, many friends.
Please watch for notice of a memorial event at a later date.
Arrangements are with Alternative Choice, 804 N. Dustin Ave. in Farmington, 505-325-9611.
"Brian Kramer has treated my wife,son and me for at least four years and has proved his abilities and integrity to us many times. My wife is convinced he prevented the necessity for surgery involving a rotor cuff injury in her shoulder and we are convinced he spared our 32 year old son an artificial hip following a serious motorcycle accident. His professionalism and genuine interest in your well being is rare and touching. We recommend him without hesitation or reservation."

"I have been experiencing health problems for several years. I came to Brian hoping he could help me with my chronic lower back pain. Brian does such an excellent job explaining each step of the acupuncture process that I am totally comfortable and at complete ease while he is sticking me with those little needles. He never hesitates to answer any of my questions (and I usually have lots). Brian knows so much about acupuncture and chinese medicine and I appreciate him sharing what he knows to help me. I am so glad to say that each time I leave the clinic I feel much better than when I came in!!! He has even helped me with my other aches and pains. I would highly recommend acupuncture, especially with Brian Kramer, to anyone interested in using an alternative form of medicine."

Our population requires higher levels of nutrition than ever before because of the state of our food system. Health problems can be directly related to poor nutrition and good nutrition starts with good soil. The general population is eating too much, and yet are malnourished. Increasingly, our soils are being depleted of nutrients from over production, infrequent crop rotation, and inorganic fertilization. The quality of the soil affects the nutrition of the grazing animals, and this in turn, works through the food chain to the nutrition that we ultimately receive.
I have included Standard Process and Mediherb supplementation into a comprehensive nutrition program to address malnutrition, and health problems directly related to this. These whole food nutrient supplements help address illness related malnutrition. I am working with individuals that are suffering because of sensitivities to food, and all this can be changed. Simply changing a diet, and adding high nutrient levels can have a profound effect in helping someone get well. I look forward in helping you, and teaching you about food and nutrition through my program of wellness.
