The pulse is probably one of the most important assets for a practitioner.
We have a number of tools to diagnose, but it seems that most people agree that the pulse will remain a key tool.
Of course, it is very difficult to master. Some say that it takes about 10 years of practice to start figuring out all the nuances.
One of the practitioners who teach the pulse is Dr. Leon Hammer.
Dr. Hammer himself might not teach anymore, but he has students to carry the torch and pass on the valuable information.
One of those students is Ross Rosen, who had a guest post about Chinese pulse diagnosis in CMNotes last year.
Ross will be teaching a Shen-Hammer Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis Seminar on November, in NJ.
I am attaching all the details for you below.
If you get a chance, if you can get to NJ, studying more about the pulse is always a good thing.

It’s been a while since I last talked about some of the new things that are happening on the Internet where Chinese medicine is concerned.
To be honest- it’s been a while since I last wrote here, and I’m a bit rusty!
But, I’m ont worried. I’m sure I’ll get back into shape in a post or two.
To kick things off- a wonderful piece of news from Richard Goodman, the author of Classical Chinese Medical Texts:
If you have a PayPal account, you can now pre-order both volumes of CCMT, pay $55.95 and shipping is free.
That’s right, shipping is free. Ah, that’s great news if you ask me. Living outside the USA or Europe means that you pay extra for shipping, and then when you think about customs… oy.
This offer is good until CCMT volume 2 is out, on October, then the price goes up to $59.95, but shipping is still free.
I urge you to visit Richard’s website and check out the free on-line course that helps one read the book and make better use of it, this way it can help you decide whether these books are good for you or not.
You can also check out the interview with Richard by clicking here.

This post was written by Revital Kerem, a colleague from Israel.
Revital sent me her thoughts after reading the news of Miriam’s Lee passing last June.
I was glad to get the chance to know more about Lee’s work, so much so that I asked Revital if she’s willing to translate her Hebrew article to English.
So here is it, Revital’s tribute to Miriam Lee.
