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 [...]

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.

Carnival of Healing #132 was hosted by Astrid Lee at We Are One World [...]

Before I started studying Chinese Medicine, it would happen to me all the time with my favorite band- Queen (Brian May rules by the way…):
I’d think about them, turn on the radio, and along came a song by Queen. As though it was especially for me.
Don’t you just love it when that happens?
Ever since I [...]

Defending Chinese Medicine- part 1 was posted at the end of December 2007.
Yeah, took me a while to get part 2 going, I know, but better late than never, you know?
The best way to go is to read part 1 and then go on to part 2, this way you will know what on earth I’m [...]

I must be honest with you: if this is the question, acupuncture vs. herbs- acupuncture will be the winner any day.
I don’t mean to put down herbs, I really don’t, I just don’t like them very much. As I see their benefits and think that they are very powerful, studying them is almost like a [...]
