Daniel Eng and I met up on the way to Shen Zhen for the 2024 Jing Fang International Conference. We have the honor of joining old friends Eran Even, Mark Gearing and Salustino Z. Wong in taking part in what looks to be an amazing weekend of talks on the use of Classical Formulas. The digs aren’t too shabby!

I'm chatting with DAOM students right now about correlations between Saam Acupuncture and Classical Formulas (Jing Fang).

It's great preparation, as I'll be presenting on this topic next month (Saturday, July 27th) in Qiological's course series on Saam Acupuncture.

  Learning the basics of promoting or controlling the flow of qi through the Five Phases is an elemental part of every acupuncturist's training. We learn how the antique points can be used to nudge a response or invite a different kind of resonance into a patient's life. The Korean Saam acupuncture...

Shout out to Dr. Henry McCann.

I opened an email with the title: "unsolicited feedback on Henry's class"

When I read a first line like this, there's a brief moment where I brace myself for what may come next. You can't please everyone all the time, and even with the amazing teachers who choose to be a part of the ACCHS DAOM program, I try to always be prepared to understand and manage constructive criticism.

But in this case, the bracing was entirely unnecessary.

"Just want to offer some unsolicited feedback on Henry's class. It f**king ruled. One of the very best CM classes I've taken in almost ten years of schooling. He's an excellent teacher who conveys information simply, clearly, and in a very easy-to-understand way. I'd love to take more classes with him at ACCHS in the future."

This is the type of feedback that reminds me what it was like to learn from these teachers for the first time, and it makes my day.

Thanks Henry! And see you soon :-)

While ACCHS is largely known for its emphasis on the classical theory and herbalism, it's really a hub for orthopedic acupuncture as well.

In our DAOM program, Anthony Von Der Muhll teaches 200 hours of orthopedic acupuncture, Poney Chiang teaches the Intro to NeuroMeridian Acupuncture, Josh Margolis has taught an Intro to Osteopathy (and we'll get him back!).

And now ACCHS is hosting Myopain Seminars' first courses in California, and (in compliance with CA law) it is being offered exclusively to acupuncturists (and taught by a licensed acupuncturist). Just a few hours in, and it's clear we're all going to learn a lot this weekend.

Dr. Anthony Von Der Muhll was on a panel of sports medicine acupuncture experts. If you’re interested in orthopedic acupuncture, it’s a great read!

We are very lucky to have Anthony teaching over 200 hours of an organized and cohesive orthopedic acupuncture program in our DAOM!
