Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 So Shivani, did you live at Kripalu or something?!? Michelle Ias just beginning to catch up with e-mail (below 120!)when my sweet father-in-law passed on in his sleep and off we went on an unexpected trip to Buffalo. So once again apologies to anybody who thinks I have ignored them. No. No connection to Kripalu. Amadea and I are both Polarity Practitioners and met at an A.P.T.A. conference some years back. Lots of common interests. Last saw her at a conference we co-taught an Ayurvedic cooking class for. Will see her this spring at another healing arts conference in St. Paul in June. Looks like a great event, if anyone is interested. Shivani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 I'd like to point out that alternative practitioners from the US were moving to the UK in the 1970s (I personally know one of them) because of the freedom of health choices that existed then in the UK and not in the US. It is my opinion, shared by many others, that the lack of freedoms that exist in the US, both in the health field and otherwise, are precisely because the American public does not, in general, trouble itself to question and complain! 1.

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen October 11th, 2003 Despots, worldwide, hate America and everything it stands for one simple reason - Americans say " No " to totalitarianism. In America, people demand to think for themselves, and make decisions based on their observations. Big pharma, worldwide, is trying to be planet earth's newest despot. They almost made it. But they didn't count on the North American Health Freedom Movement blocking their efforts to make humanity " drug-dependent " on a grand scale. They didn't realize that Americans would see big pharma's efforts to gouge a huge chunk out of our economy as a " criminal act. " America is waking up in anger. All across the land, consumer advocates, from every walk of American life, are sharpening their swords and stepping into the fray with gusto. In today's story, it's California, and the assault team from the California Attorney General's Office who have identified, and are prosecuting, one of the most horrifying, and despicable, rip-offs in the history of America. The Attorney General has caught two major pharmaceutical companies, Abbott and Wyeth, hacking, and bleeding, California's health program for society's needy. It is not yet known how many Californian's suffered from their illicit acts - but the Attorney General is looking very hard to find out - and is taking aggressive action against the drug lords. According to court documents laying on my desk, quote " as a result of their fraudulent and illegal scheme, defendants and their customers have reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal profits at the expense of the State of California and directly contributed to Med-Cal's soaring cost of providing prescription drugs for the State's needy....

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Karen, The upcoming course will provide a comprehensive introduction and foundation skills for those who see the need to become familiar with Chinese medical language on its own terms. The aim of the course is to give students the basic skill set and understanding of basic contextual issues to allow them to acquire a vocabulary of the 100 or so most basic terms and the know-how to continue to acquire vocabulary, reading and comprehension skills. I posted the texts we'll be using the other day. The first two, my books, are designed to provide the background information, as well as an in-depth presentation of a single, and perhaps the most important, character in Chinese medicine, qi. The balance of the course will be spent at the rate of about 1 hour per term, during which we'll examine its origins, meanings, usages, pronounciation, proper method of writing, along with clinical implications and applications. The whole course is 120 hours in length. It's currently scheduled as a series of 10 12-hour weekends. It could be delivered in more intensive fashion or it could be done over a longer span of time. I'm also looking into the feasibility of delivering all or part of the course on line. The tools may already exist. We'll see how that develops. My aim is to help those folks who recognize the indispensability of the language tool set. That's really how I think of it, i.e., learning to use the tools that Chinese medicine is made with.

Maybe the following can give you some inspiration on how you could put to put character writing and character pronounciation online. http://www.usc.edu/dept/ealc/chinese/character/ Best wishes Alwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Alwin, Yeah. Thanks. As I said, all the tools may already exist. Just a matter of packaging things up and seeing whether or not it's viable. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
