Guest guest Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Yo, While I'm in the mood and have time to write, I would like to answer some posts I left hanging in the past, without being too longwinded. First... asked me about using extraordinary channels and learning about their use. The best and most practical source I know of is Yoshio Manaka, MD's book "Chasing the Dragon's Tail." It is dense but worth the effort. Also, "Hara Diagnosis: Reflections on the Sea" by Matsumoto and Birch contain lots of information on the clinical sue of extraordinary vessels, as does Matsumoto's book "Extraordinary Vessels." Royston Lowe has wonderful information in his book "Secondary Vessels." And Bob Flaws translated a nifty article by Ye Tian Shi on herbs with tropisms for particular extraordinary vessels, as unique a bit of information as I've ever seen, available on the Blue Poppy website. The best way to access Manaka's work is to take a workshop from someone who uses his methods. I learned from Stephen Birch at a seminar, but I think he is probably too far into Toyohari acupuncture these days to teach this anymore.
