quorum

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

The list began accepting rs on 6/1/99. We don't quite have a

quorum yet, but there's enough of us to have a discussion. Post any

messages to or reply to the list

regarding any messages you receive.

 

We might start by introducing ourselves. I began my study of Chinese

Herbal medicine with Subhuti Dharmananda at the Institute for

Traditional Medicine in 1988. I began OCOM in 1990 and have been

working in a clinical setting since 1991. I have always been focused on

strange and unusual conditions, as well as serious chronic illness in my

studies and practice.

 

I worked at OCOM and the local naturopathic college between 1994 and

1996, developing academic and clinical training in chinese herbology.

Currently, I own a multidisciplinary clinic with acupuncture, massage

and naturopathy services.

 

I began this site because the small community of serious chinese herb

practitioners is scattered over the globe. Since dialogue is one of the

foundations of understanding, I thought it was time to begin talking

regularly as a group. We all have experiences to share and questions to

ask. We must also recognize that our training falls short of both the

classical apprenticeships and the modern university hospitals of china.

Hopefully, this list will allow the ongoing interaction of students with

their teachers, youger practitioners with older and senior

practitioners.
