Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi to everyone, Not sure how many are familiar with this fellow but I had the good fortune to find a book about him in the Bend Oregon library and to pay a visit to the site of his practice. It's located in John Day Oregon and it's a bit of a winding journey but pleasant. His name is Ing Hay and he was quite a phenomenal Chinese doctor. He was noted as a master of pulse diagnosis. Ing practiced in the Kam Wah Chung & Co trading post in John Day. The building is amazing to walk through and the history is interesting. There is also a visitor's center a couple of blocks from the museum with many Chinese artifacts. Aside from being impressed by his reputation as a practitioner the discovery that was found under his bed after he died caught me breathless and brought tears to my eyes. Hope you can make the journey and see this marvelous little piece of Chinese medical influence from a profound person. Bend is also a great place to stay on a journey.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 My teacher Michael Broffman is compiling Ing Hay's prescriptions. I've seen a few, and they are remarkable in their complexity. He helped design a play about Ing Hay's life a few years back that was performed in the SF Bay area. .

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Thanks Z'ev this is fantastic! I just heard this piece on NPR http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4702857 and a comment about Ing Hay's formulas. I immediately wished I had been told about them while I was there. Do you know when Michael Broffman will be publishing the prescriptions and is there any info on Ing's pulse taking technique?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Nice link, thank you. I know that Michael also has access to his pulse journals, but I don't have any info on when and if they will be published. Apparently he also knew local herbs, and how to integrate them into his formulas. On Jan 1, 2010, at 2:25 PM, Patrick Edgmon wrote: > Thanks Z'ev this is fantastic!
