RE :Dr. Miriam Lee & other schools of acupuncture

[Guest guest]

Harry, Miriam Lee revised a translation of another book -- " Tung's

Acupuncture " by Dr Ching Chang Tung translated by Decker Paldan. note: Tung

is also referred to as " Tong " . This particular style does not follow TCM or

5E points or even theory that well. But works extremely well. There is a

very useful reference into its use and a short description in Alon Marcus's

book " Musculoskeletal Disorders " from North Atlantic Books ISBN #

1-55643-282-8

Dr. Miriam Lee & other schools of acupuncture

 

Hi altogether!

 

I started my training in acupuncture about a year ago here in Germany

and enjoyed very much reading Miriam Lee's 'Insights of a Senior

Acupuncturist'. I wrote Blue Poppy Press to ask if there is more

material available from her and had to learn, there is not. I wonder

if anybody of you out there was a student of her who could share the

knowledge obtained from her with me. In case you'd like to write me

personally, please don't write to the above shown address, but to:

harryprivat

 

In case you know about good material showing the advantages of other

schools of acupuncture besides the genreal TCM acupuncture, I would

be very much interested to know about it...

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks Ed. I already saw a description of the book somewhere on the

net, but it seems to be different to Miriam Lee's style as well. I

still hope a student of her will show up and share her knowledge with

me. I am most interested in her needling technique, as it is somehow

contrary to what I have learned until today: While I am sure I have

learned that the stimulation technique (3 x 3) leaves the needles

deep in, it is said in her book, that after stimulation the needle is

left shallow. Quite contrary and very confusing. An equal problem I

have with a statement in a German study book: It describes as

stimulation-technique: (needle) fast in, slow out, while my teacher

practices this more for drainage (which makes more sense to me:

drawing out SLOWLY).

 

kind regards
