** I will start with a short apology, we had a holiday here in Israel, which found me enjoying full 4 days with my family and actually managing a few naps in the middle of the day!
The down side of this particular holiday is the consumption of too much diary products and not having the needed mood [...]

I found a few interesting links about Chinese Medicine post-graduate events around the world, I thought I’d share them with you.
Posting the interview with Arya Nielsen made me contact her again. Very busy lady!
She asked if I could post this on my blog, and I gladly do so, in order to let you know about a [...]

Phillippe Siounneau is not a well known name here in Israel.
If practitioners know him, it’s mainly for his books, but that’s about it.
A few years ago I thought that having an interview with him would be a good way to get to know him, and indeed we exchanged e-mails, in which he appeared very kind [...]

Truth should be told- studying for exams is never fun.
Who wants to be inside the house studying when you can be watching the new Indiana Jones movie? Or having coffee with a friend?
If you ask me, if I got to choose between writing a paper and an exam I’d take writing a paper any time.
Writing a [...]

…Or to be more precise- Ian Brown and the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine.
May 31st marks the first ever performance of Ian Brown in Israel.
If you don’t know, Israel is not a place where we get many performances by wonderful artists such as Ian Brown. Security issues are always clouding potential visits from rock gods- even if [...]

Tong Ze Bu Tong, Bu Tong Ze Tong- so claims an old wise Chinese saying- free flow- no pain; no free flow- pain.
One of the first things on which Chinese Medicine is based upon is the free flow of Qi and Blood in the body.
Gua Sha is a 5,000 year old technique, and by applying it [...]

OK, this post is a bit off-topic, but has a lot to do with CMNotes and blogging in general.
As I started blogging (first in Hebrew and CMNotes started on November 2007), I looked for sources of information about blogging. I mean, it’s not all about simply writing things and posting them online. For one thing- how [...]

I know that May 15 is tomorrow, but I won’t be able to actually go online and write, so I’m posting this a bit earlier.
One of many things I love about the Internet is being able to actually tell the world you are supportive of something that is very important for you.
Human rights is a very [...]

The month of May 2008 will be remembered as the month where nature had a thing with the human race.
The cyclone in Myanmar was just about 10 days ago, taking thousands of lives on it’s way, and now the terrible earthquake in China, which happened yesterday, thousands are missing or buried or injured or dead.

Before the ICCM started, as I knew Julian Scott will be one of the guest speakers, I decided to Google Julian and see what I come up with.
The results were interesting:
Julian Scott- a composer of music for films and such, and even scores music for the Olympic games in Beijing! But the more I look [...]
