Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 does anyone have an idea of how many medical journals the average medical doctor s to? Probably 3 or 4, right? I couldn't imagine keeping up with any more than that. One of the concerns often expressed about not knowing medical chinese is that one will not be able to keep up with the current medical journal literature. For those who are language impaired like myself, I wanted to recommend a few good choices for information in english. I just got my new new blue poppy online journal, which is truly the most clinically useful TCM journal available today and its free. It had over 30 articles, all of which are direct translations from chinese journal articles. this journal comes out 4 times per year. Another journal that will focus on translations or original work by practitioners with access to chinese source material is the New England Journal of TCM. Ken Rose edits the CAOM journal, which also focuses on translation and scholarly work. There is also a journal from China that is published in english and includes research and pharmacological work. I can't remember the name. does anyone know what I am referring to. It has integrated chinese-western in the name, I think. The long established Journal of chinese medicine has always included abstracts from chinese journals. A now defunct journal called abstracts of chinese medicine (ACME) was published for over ten years and contains thousands of indexed abstracts on all aspects of chinese herbology. CS Cheung has huge amount of translated work and case histories available at http://www.rmhiherbal.org/hscc/index.html He founded ACTCM and was a personal teacher of one of my teachers and and also of Bob Damone, chair of clinical studies at PCOM and co-translator with Craig Mitchell of the upcoming Jiao Shu De book on formulas. Cheung was emphasizing the importance of accessing source material before it became fashionable (ha-ha). Subhuti Dharmananda has long employed translators who provide him most of the current citations he uses in his literature. His START group, a quarterly mailing always provides lots of well researched information, much of it online (and much of it controversial) at www.itmonline.org Chinese Herbs " Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds " -- Albert Einstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
