Book excerpt: "Welcome the Pain: The Life and Work of Master Acupuncturist Zion Yu" tells the story of Zion's early apprenticeship under his father, a renowned nerve and bone doctor. At the ripe age of seven, Zion was charged with caring for his ailing mother, who taught him the skills necessary to master the art of relieving pain. This memoir is a personal and detailed account of Zion's life, and how he acquired the skills that led him to treat some of the most famous people in Hollywood, including George Harrison, Natalie Wood, and Jane Fonda. Included in this story is the history of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States and how acupuncture became legalized. Zion's motto and guiding principle, "Welcome the Pain," enabled him to transcend fear and come to the other side, where true healing occurs-a gift he now wishes to share with others. "Zion Yu is the Miles Davis of acupuncture. Because of his work over the past twenty years, I no longer needed a stint put in my heart. My body completely repaired itself with his needle jazz!" -Stewart Levine, musician and producer "After Zion taught me qi gong, I conceived naturally at age 45. I was told by my doctors that my tubes were blocked and I would be unable to conceive. Now I have a healthy 3-year-old boy." -Jena King, Environmental Philanthropist

Download or read book The Compleat Acupuncturist written by Peter Eckman and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly original and authoritative book, Peter Eckman takes pulse diagnosis as a common thread that links and integrates the various disciplines of Oriental medicine, and shows that they are in fact related by a common origin several thousand years ago. The text describes the clinical details used in a variety of acupuncture styles, synthesizing them into a coherent whole, and illustrating the usefulness of this model with an extensive presentation of case histories. A fundamental premise of the book is that treatment should be based not only on the current condition of the patient, but even more importantly on their inherent constitution. The description of constitutional pulse diagnosis therefore forms Part 1 of the text, the description of conditional pulse diagnosis forms Part 2 and Part 3 provides more than 30 case histories with pulse analysis, diagnosis and treatment (with outcomes), so that the book will be of utmost practical benefit. Much of the book consists of new theoretical schemata to organize traditional Oriental medical concepts into a coherent whole - groundbreaking work that will provide fresh insights and deeper understanding to all practitioners of Chinese medicine, especially acupuncturists. It presents a wealth of material that is not commonly available in Indian (Ayurveda), Korean or Chinese medicine, as well as other traditions of Oriental medicine, including the only thorough presentation of Korean Constitutional Acupuncture in English, based on the author's personal study under its originator.

Download or read book Intuitive Acupuncture written by John Hamwee and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of intuition is seldom identified in acupuncture training as one of the keys to effective practice. John Hamwee here explores its paramount importance in diagnosis and treatment, showing how development of the intuitive sense, and its appropriate use in the treatment room, is vital to building the most effective individual practice. Through discussion of theory, clinical example, and the experiences of leading acupuncturists, the author shows how intuition, or the grasping of subliminal clues, can be developed, based on the practitioner's growing `storeroom' of clinical experience and why it is so useful for this to become a conscious and rigorously examined process. He discusses the process of testing intuition against objective observation of the patient, and how an intuitive leap can provide a shortcut across an innumerable series of diagnostic steps, and lead to diagnostic and treatment decisions that make complete sense of the observable phenomena. He suggests that learning to trust the intuitive faculty, while still fully interrogating conclusions, is the basis of better patient outcomes and significantly advanced practice. This thoughtful and engaging book will be one that acupuncturists will want to read and reread, and will speak to all therapists, counsellors, and health practitioners.
