Last March we had the ICCM congress here in Israel.
It’s a great event, where we get to meet people from our local community, and also people from the global community of Chinese Medicine.
That is, I think, not just important, but also just lots of fun.
The congress was a 4-day-long party, and we had many interesting events, all about Chinese Medicine.
I had some contributions for the event, one of them was the first screening in Israel of the movie 9,000 Needles.
I”m sure many of you know about the movie by now, and probably watched it. For those who didn’t- the movie tells the personal story of Devin Dearth, a body builder from the US who suffered a massive stroke. Trying to find the best ways to heal himself, he travels to China, for a 6 weeks program of acupuncture, moxa, cupping and physiotherapy sessions- everyday, almost all day long.
The experience is being filmed by his brother, Doug, and the result is this movie.

Hi all,
Part of the “coming back” phase I am in, we have a new page on Facebook.
We used to have a group, which I have to admit- I don’t even remember opening it!
But I did, and I apologize for you for not remembering any of it, and not being a proper group manager.
All of this will change with the new page, and of course the group is no longer active.

Things are happening in the Israeli Chinese Medicine scene!
I sometimes need to remind myself to take a step back, remember how it was 6 years ago, when I started my business on the Internet in Hebrew. Most of the time, it felt like nothing- no activities, about 2 or 3 post- graduate courses, no seminars.
I knew that there were some thing every now and then, but it was so hush-hush, and word-to-mouth, that it was impossible to reach most of the practitioners or even most of the students.
6 years have past, and things changed dramatically.
We have an international congress, we have really interesting seminars (for example- Dr. Tan visited Israel and gave an inspiring workshop), we have post-graduate courses, we have little conventions, integration with hospitals….
And now we have jewelry.
