I am Greg Dember, have practiced acupuncture for 5 years, trained basically in TCM approach. I took Richard Tan's seminar and have found his system to be effective. My experience has been that if I can find a really tender point on the contralateral other limb where it's supposed to be according to his theory, that the method ususally works. Sometimes I combine it with local electroacupuncture, which is what I used to do (for musculoskeletal pain in the limbs) mainly before I took his seminar. I have also incorporated the balance method in treating deeper systemic stuff and found that it improves my results. I think that in the kind of practice that Richard Tan has, combining it with other approaches is pointless, because he sees so many people in an hour that he doesn't have time to get really complicated. But for me, who rarely sees more than 1 per hour, it works well to mix it in with other approaches. good luck! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
