It was just a matter of time until I would interview Peter Deadman.
After all- it’s Peter Deadman- the big blue book, the JCM…. This is definitely one of those names you learn to say really fast as of the first year in studying Chinese Medicine. And the name continues to be with us as we [...]

It’s been quiet lately here on CMNotes.
Things have been really crazy around here this summer, and I must share with you- I am at a crossroads and not really sure of how things will continue on CMNotes.
I do know that I love the platform and continue to write, but what are my goals? What do [...]

The first ICCM in Israel brought Peter Mole to the promised land.
That was the first time I heard his name, but my mentor told me that if I’m interested in 5 Elements (which I am), I shouldn’t miss Peter’s lecture.

As fate wanted it, I suddenly found myself on a lunch date with [...]

Yes, it’s time for part 3 of the “magical mystery tour” aka The Heiner Experience.
It is almost a month since Heiner visited Israel and his lectures and the whole vibe still echos in my heart and brain. I came to the point of frustration (will bring you up-to-date about that in a later post), knowing that [...]

I was lucky enough to have a short correspondence with Dr. Leon Hammer, a psychiatrist turned CM practitioner.
Those who don’t know Dr. Hammer should really update their knowledge about the man who contributed an amazing book to our shelves, a book called “Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies“. In the book he shows, among other things, [...]
