Hello everyone,

My name is David Russell and this is my short introduction to the group.

Well, presently I am an L.M.T., but soon I will be moving on to get my

masters of acupuncture. That will be in 1.5 years, however, since I still am

working on my B.S. I have been extremely interested in TCM for about 10

years and the only herbal training I have is my personal work through

Subhuti Dharmanandas book on Chinese Herbology. I have also read The Web has

No Weaver multiple times.

I am considering attending the Maryland Institute of Tradtional Chinese

Medicine in Bethesda, MD.

Although, much of the conversation I have read is above my head, I am

interested in reading on and learning as much as I can...although it will

take much refering to my text books.

Recently I was asked by a fellow student at the University I am attending

HOW acupuncture works- how it stimulates immune responses, hormonal changes,

etc... This is a basic concept, however, I was unable to explain it to her

in the western terminology she was looking for.

I recall reading one article where a series of MRI's were performed on an

individuals brain while specific acupuncture points were stimulated. They

found that the points caused specific regions of the brain to be stimulated

that did refer to the traditional points correspondences.

Has anyone heard of this research...or perhaps have any other references for

me to read?
