Generally bleeding is done to remove stasis, and sometimes heat. It can be very effective for treating recent trauma, e.g., sprains and tears. Bleeding can also be done for chronic injuries, but...

It's wonderful to see a post advertising a seminar with Martin LaPlatney; I've known Martin (more as an acquaintance really) for several years and hold him in very high regard. When Martin taught at...

Agreed. One thing to consider is to make sure that the doses are high enough. These supplements should also be taken consistantly through heavy training as well as light training as they often take...

Take a look at Tom Bisio's A Tooth from the Tiger's Mouth (amazon.com). If it has been several weeks/months since your dislocation and it is not inflamed then the "tendon relaxing soak" and or the...

I would tend to use it more for Damp-Cold Bi and for old bone bruises that are slow to heal.

H.I.V. awareness probably kept some people from reacting more quickly. But I agree that their responses were ineffectual. One hand on the knife wrist and a finger to the eyeball would have gone a...

No clips at the moment - but when I get around to it I'll film something and post it.

Nothing you couldn't get from a quick look at Deadman, et. al.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this..."

Have you tried stopping using your jow and seeing if you don't get the same reaction? It also would be good to know what is in your jow. If you're using a...

My first attempt (about 10 hours of training) using the deLongis method. I'm trying to use my dan tian as much as possible instead of using external arm and shoulder strength. I study Xing Yi Quan...

Following is a representative formula for a Dit Da Jow for acute injuries that uses some of the herbs that you reference above. The other herbs work together as well to create a blood-moving,...

Is it a raw herb or is it suspended in liquid? Why are you taking it?

Ren Shen can be toxic if treated improperly and even taking large amounts of treated Ren Shen by mistake can be dangerous. ...

Learning taiqiquan, baguazhang, or Xingyiquan takes a long time. Think of it as a 20-30 year project and don't worry about long it takes to learn one art before you can learn another, how long it...

Sounds like my practice...except my Tu Na sucks too.

Martin's a class act. I get together with Tom every few months or so for Xing Yi. 40 or 50 years later...

I guess we've had different experiences from different ends of the spectrum. I've never felt the "submit to me and be healed" phenomenon, and someone who practices from a desire to impress someone...

Can't argue with that. I think that your statement begs the question of whether, in the absence of "quality control" and "oversight," traditional healers (and I am speaking here of practioners who...

Quite a few - but generally if they are Chinese and still living in Chinese communities their expertise is not widely known and shared only within the community, and with family and students. For...

I believe that Tom and Frank have also been teaching up at Dan Bensky's school in Seattle.
