If any of you haven't been to the Blue Poppy site (www.bluepoppy.com),

you might want to take a look. We have now posted all our research

reports and articles for free and they are now searchable digitally.

There are over 500 articles all for free waiting for anyone who wants

to acess them, with new articles added every month. Also, there is a

new section of audio interviews for you to listen to, and we will be

expanding this section on a regular basis as well. Since all of this

is free, I didn't think anyone would mind the plug.

That's great, Bob. I have bought a few articles in the past and look forward to

utilizing this

section in the future as well. Looks like the " download generation " is hitting

everywhere.

Thanks for all your work,

Doug

What a great contribution! Thanks for making all of that work

available. I've purchased individual articles in the past and they

were a great help in the mini-research I was doing at the time.

Opening all those articles up to the community is one of the most

significant gifts the field has ever received, it represents years of

work that everyone can benefit from.

 

It also one of the first major efforts towards an English database of

Chinese journal articles. Our neighbors to the East have vast

databases of Chinese medical information, books and journals alike.

Having the computerized search capacity revolutionizes research, and

it is unavoidably the trend in both Western and Eastern medicine.

Notably, the Blue Poppy articles all use consistently applied

terminology, which allows digital searching to be meaningful. If the

files were all searchable, I could show up as an outsider, type in a

standard TCM English term (say, liver depression), and I'd get all of

the relevant hits. The current lack of consistency across multiple

English sources would hamper the search capacity of most compilations,

but the Blue Poppy articles are a step ahead because the translations

of technical terms are already consistent.
