Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 _____ WMorris116 [WMorris116] Thursday, September 30, 2004 8:24 AM Chinese Medicine Response to Godfrey (now transation and accreditation) Z'ev, I couldn't agree with you more. I was in those same classes you attended with Deke. I respect him and consider him a friend. In addition, your concerns about a political movement growing up around his transliterative assumptions are well founded. Most notable is the attempt to develop a new accreditation commission based on Deke's theorem. We came a hair's breadth from Nevada setting that as the standard last year. [Jason] On a side note: I am treating an MD who did an acupuncture course in LA (quite recently) and I was very surprised to hear about the non-tcm approach that was taught to them, i.e. she talked much about learning the French / 5 element stuff. Is this common? It seems like the medical acupuncturist would be more on the TCM bandwagon./. Thoughts? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UCLA medical acupx course was designed by Joseph Helms, a student of van Nghi, Mussat, and other French MD-acupuncturists. rh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 This is probably the Helms course at UCLA, the " Medical Acupuncture " group. They base much of their material on the work of Maurice Mussat, a French physician who is into using Yi Jing and five phase in his acupuncture theory outline.
