I worked with Doc Rosen for a few years in Denver and he definitely has received

unique training in China. His approach to working with injury is very effective.

I received the " oral transmission; " I am not sure how you would study it through

another venue. Dieh Dah is a method for treating injuries and acute pain.

Hi Jenny.

In Nov of '05 I spent 3 wks on an internship at Guangzhou University

Hospital in China. Surely not the most experience in this group,

but here's what I observed (and did): outpatients came in several

times a week, every pt had quite aggressive needling (if they didn't

get da qi on every needle they pointed it out), strictly TCM

treatment strategies, every pt had estim on multiple points, moxa on

the needle or direct moxa, TDP lamp, and cupping afterwards, and

everyone left with an herbal rx. Literally, every pt. Additionally,

they used herbal injections, beesting therapy with live bees,

embedded surgical string in acu points, and, well, the pediatric

treatments are worthy of another discussion. It wasn't " new age "

or " energy work " or in any way subtle. It was medicine, and it

worked, and it was amazing to see.

Obviously, very few of our Western pts would tolerate all of this

(given the moxa scars and bruising and bleeding). But it

taught me to use every modality in my medicine bag to my pt's

tolerance, and the importance of developing trusting relationships.

I'm a huge fan of Dr Tan, and Master Tung, and Japanese and Korean

styles, but I'll never forget what I learned in China. I'm hoping to

go back for herbal studies within the next few years.

Good luck to you! This is truly a worthy venture!

I would also love to hear about anyone else's experiences in China...
