Matthew Bauer's book

March 4, 2005

Hello everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that my years-in-the-making book is now available.

Titled " The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture: A Complete Guide to

Timeless Traditions and Modern Practice " it was written first and foremost to

help the general public better understand the value of acupuncture, acupressure

and the rest of Oriental Medicine and to encourage them to seek OM services. My

goal was to target people who were interested in OM but do not follow through

because of their fear of the unknown. I also hope that OM practitioners and

students will find this work of value in that I offer some detailed theories

regarding the earliest roots of acupuncture and the theories that underlie

Oriental medicine.

My ideas about the original inspirations behind OM practices and theories are

based on years of study of Taoist folk history, modern scholarly history,

research into the evolution of the early civilizations, and, of course, years of

practice of OM and Taoism. I make the case that ancient astronomy was the

driving force behind the fundamental concepts in OM and early Chinese culture in

general. While several chapters that covered this thesis in detail were edited

out, being deemed by my publisher as too deep for a general public readership,

the remaining material still conveys the main points I wished to get across.

In the coming months, I will be trying to promote my work both to the general

public and the OM profession. I will be speaking at the AOM Alliances'

conference this May in Newport, Rhode Island and the Pacific Symposium in San

Diego, California in November. I also have a website, www.matthewdbauer.com that

people can contact me through if they wish to discuss aspects of my work or to

arrange speaking engagements or possible articles for publication.

Although I have worked in some OM organizations and in the insurance industry in

an effort to contribute to the growth of OM, this book and the work I hope

springs from it represents my main contribution to the field. I anticipate some

of my theories will be controversial in that I offer unique ideas but I hope

these will be taken in the spirit offered: in the humble hope that they may

contribute to discussion and further understanding of our beloved healing art.

I want to thank the list moderators for allowing me the opportunity to make this

announcement and all of you for taking the time to read it. Sincerely - Matthew

Bauer

Hi all,

Matt's new book is really great. I learned alot about the finer

points of Chinese medicine theory. I strongly recommend adding it to

your book collection.
