Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Hi there! I'm Jeremy Ross and a new member to the group. The Moderator (is this Tod?) has asked me to introduce myself, so I've put a Bio below, but you can read an expanded biography, and find out about the kind of work I do, on my website: www.jeremyross.com So here's the Bio: Jeremy Ross has qualifications in botanical sciences, Western phytotherapy, and Chinese herbal medicine. In 1968, he gained a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, specializing in plant physiology and biochemistry, at Birmingham University, UK. After one year of postgraduate research in this field, he trained and qualified as a science teacher, also at Birmingham University. In 1973, he moved to California and took his first course in Western herbal medicine with Michael Tierra, ending in 1974. This practical training was based on a synthesis of the work of the American Physiomedical practitioners and the herbal tradition of the Native Americans. Returning to England, he completed the course of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, becoming a member in 1982. This training combined the Physiomedical and empirical approaches to herbalism with an understanding of plant pharmacology, linking Jeremy’s herbal studies to his original training in botanical sciences. In 1988, he graduated from the 2-year course in Chinese herbal medicine given by Ted Kaptchuk and completed further herbal training at the International College of Nanjing, China, later that year. Parallel with his herbal studies, Jeremy commenced training in acupuncture in 1973. He graduated from the Licentiate program of the College of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, UK, in 1977, studied in Nanjing in 1981, and qualified as Doctor of acupuncture from the British College of Acupuncture in 1985. For 17 years, Jeremy had a busy practice in acupuncture and herbal medicine in Bristol, UK, before moving in 1994 to Seattle, USA, where he now practices. He has shared his long and varied experience as a clinician in his books and clinical trainings. He is the author of Zang Fu: the Organ Systems of (1986), and of Acupuncture Point Combinations: the Key to Clinical Success (1995), both published by Churchill Livingstone. Jeremy has organized and taught courses in acupuncture and herbal medicine for over 20 years. He was Dean of the Swedish Institute of Alternative Medicine, Stockholm, from 1986-1996, and in 1987, he was one of the founders of the Academy for Traditional in Holland. He designed the first two-year course in Chinese herbal medicine for medical doctors in Belgium and Holland, and was the main lecturer for the course, which ended in 1991. He has also lectured extensively in North America. For 15 years, Jeremy has specialized in integrating Western herbs and Chinese medicine. He has developed a system of herb combination that brings together concepts from Western herbal tradition, Chinese medicine, and phytopharmacology. His 1000-page text, Combining Western Herbs and , brings together the different themes of Jeremy’s training and experience over the last 38 years. It is published by Greenfields Press and available in June 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
