I have been a licensed acupuncturist in California since 1989. I received a Ph.D. in Classical Chinese Medicine from American University of Complementary Medicine and have taught myself to read Chinese. I teach in some of the acupuncture schools in the Los Angeles area. Blah, blah, blah... this is the boring (but true) stuff.

Besides this, one of my favorite activities is to find an herbal or moxibustion technique in an old Chinese book, and work out how to do it. There are so many interesting and effective treatments that are no longer used. If we can bring some of them back into the clinic, it benefits everyone. Perhaps you can call me a clinical anthropologist, researching Chinese medicine.
