Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 Hi Z'ev, From the day I learned that mo yao and ru xiang were frankincense and myrrh I've wondered if and how much cross-pollination there was between mideast medicine and far east medicine. Reading your post I begin to think there was a great deal. I have a couple of questions if you would be so kind. Is the Maimonides you mention Moses Maimonides? There's an Oriental Studies program at the local university. Any suggestions for key words or subject headings for a search on this topic? TIA, JOE A great Syrian physician, Rashid Al-Din, many centuries ago wrote a text called " A Survey of the Sciences of Cathay " that included pulse charts with both Chinese and Arabic characters, and an overview of Chinese medicine. There is definitely an interchange of pulse lore between the two cultures. I have an English translation of Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine (one volume), with a large section on the pulse. Quite interesting. Maimonides (Ibn Musa) was also part of the Tibb-i Unani tradition, and his works have been extensively translated, including his pulse work and materia medica.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 Yes, it is Moses Maimonides. His works are available in most Jewish book stores or web lists, mostly translated by Dr. Fred Rosner. Try Jewish Medicine or Moses Maimonides for key words on a search.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Not sure if it was covered, but you can donate to women’s shelters and also victim’s units. In San Diego, the DA has a victimization unit. Some take donations to give to victims of violence or abuse so they can call 911. They are also looking for parts. leslie On Behalf Of Noah Monday, April 28, 2008 5:19 AM No Reply; Re: [RFSL] Digest Number 588 > Anyone know how I should get rid of cell phone > chargers and > accessories?
