Links- Another Round Up

Posted on November 25, 2009 by 3 Comments

another_linkIt seems that the field of Chinese medicine is on a global rise.
I feel that everyday I get more and more news flowing my way about new projects, new clinics, new interesting discussions, more research…. I love it.

I know I’ve been neglecting my writing on CMNotes.
*hanging head in shame*
I also know that lately, you heard many reasons. They really are reasons, real valid ones too, not just excuses.
I love writing about Chinese medicine, and I love writing about it in English. Lately, I’ve been meeting new and interesting people through this blog and I am very grateful for it.
Please bare with me, and forgive me for not being able to write more. I hope this will soon change.

Community Acupuncture in Israel

ca_in_israel1First- a short explanation
The lack of posting is mainly due to a lot of work.
For those who might not know, I have a big website in Hebrew about Chinese medicine, it’s name is Sinit (which means “Chinese” in Hebrew), and it’s been running for the past 4.5 years.
The website has grown a lot over the years. What started as a little thing is now huge with a blog and another site where the community can share notes from their years in school and from various lectures.
All the work is being done by me, and normally I will not complain about it (ok, maybe just a little…). But in the past month we- my husband and myself- started a huge make over fort he website: logo, layout, target audience- almost everything is going to change. The things that will not change will still grow.
The make over+ keeping the website up and running as usual take up all my work time, which is limited to begin with. So what I’m trying to say is- I don’t blog not because I don’t want to!

Community acupuncture in Israel
Having said that, a very exciting thing is happening in Israel, and I can’t help but feeling like I had something to do with it:
Last year I uploaded an article on my Hebrew website about community acupuncture, written by Roy Green Pach.
Roy talked about the struggles he had with being out of school and trying to make it as a practitioner. He also talked about deciding to adopt the principles of community acupuncture in his hometown Jerusalem.
