It is so nice to hear someone else put this issue into such an eloquent explanation as I have suffered from injuries to my lower trunk and usually feel frustrated with my lack of "grounding" and grace that I can remember vaguely having as a teen. Not to mention, I am home for the holidays and the whole shoulder tightness thing is becoming a huge pain! Yes, yes, holidays are SUPPOSED to be relaxing but well, that's a whole 'nother talk show!

It has its benefits in terms of low cost, but it is also just acupuncture. I doubt that anyone could profitability do both acupuncture and herbs in the limited time required when your business model requires fast turn around. In some ways it reminds me of how acupuncture is done here in China. Very quick and to the point (sorry bad pun), and all done in a public setting. Personally, I rather enjoy the camaraderie of the Chinese clinics, somehow losing the sense that we have to whisper the sins of our illness to a professional in a white coat takes some of the power out of them!

You're absolutely right, the US system does need overhauling. Watch the documentary, “Sicko” and you’ll be outraged. You’re absolutely right, the US system does need overhauling.

Well, do without studying very deeply. But, life often does have some twists and turns that give us an opportunity to claim something we laid down long ago. Oddly enough, I've rather enjoyed learning the proper uses of "which" and "that", and how to properly punctuate a sentence; it is kind of a geeky thing, but then I've always rather enjoyed the geeky things!

Thanks. I had no idea that grammer might be the subject of the next book I read. Actually it won't be the next one I read because I have one on Enzymes lined up next and I just ordered Donna Eden's two new books - the 10th anniversary edition of her classic "Energy Medicine" and her latest book, "Energy Medicine for Woman." I'll take look at the grammer book though especially since you said it's at Barnes and Noble. Take care, Dennis Michael – it’s always a pleasure reading your blog. Thanks.

My first apartment was on Yong Kang Street. I thought it rather prophetic as I was there to study medicine. Of course, in addition to the signs in Taiwan there is the stationary http://www.yongkangclinic.com/blog/?p=304 that is stuff enlightenment is made from!
