Hi, I was wondering if anyone can recommend books, articles, etc on Jim Ramholz's work. I know some people teach his methods but I'd like to read up on it...
Thanks Will for the kind words. "I would love to open up some discussion on the Nan Jing" Well, as you know, my favorite quote from the Nanjing is the...
... Hi Peter, My insights are: 1. The constitution is likely to be either the weakest (where the problem started) or strongest pulse (the place that's...
Hi Sasha -- Here is a brief memorial to Jim, some of his papers are attached. http://www.pulsediagnosis.com/JimRamholzandtheDongHanTradition.htm Warmly, Will...
Thank you, an excellent article and I've downloaded Jim's work at the end of it. I wonder if there's more on the subject on the web, so far my search hasn't...
Hi Lonny, I remember having this same discussion with you about a year or two ago. I fully agree with your conclusion that there is no reliable diagnosis of ...
Hey Sasha, Nice to see you here. There were a bunch of articles on Jim's old pulse diagnosis yahoogroup. Have you checked there? Also on www.dragonrises.org...
Lon, I would agree with the Nan Jing that 'penetrating insight' is the 'hight' of diagnosis, but certainly I agree that pulse diagnosis in no way needs to be...
Hi Peter, Now that you mention, I vaguely remember having discussed this before. I meant deep for the water pulse. Leon uses the term "hesitant" to describe a...
Z'ev and Lon - Lon: I have fond memories of you quoting that passage as we sat together in your kitchen. Z'ev: Agreed, the whole knowledge of the patient, the...
Hi Peter and Lon - The term hesitant arose in the Essential of Acupuncture and is, I believe still used in Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion. The California ...
Very interesting regarding the hesitant pulse. Again, I've found it to be highly correlated with earth constitution or significant imbalance. I think of it as...
Hi Peter, Lon, Will... Sorry for the delay. Busy with patients. In terms of the Hesitant pulse wave, we generally consider this to be a Heart yin deficient...
Ross, I appreciate the context you're providing here. Still, I have to stand by my observations over quite some time that the earth element is strongly...
 That might be closer. As I see it, and learned it, its not an uncommon term,.. the hesitance is when feeling the rythym, the breakover wave is late and...
Hi Ross, Lon and Peter, I am on vacation in Southern OR and have time for posting. ;-) The wave analysis method for Hammer's 'hesitant' pulse also confirms ...
Hi Mystir -I think it is important to highlight that the hesitant pulse under discussion is specific to Leon Hammer's nomenclature. It does not correlate with...
Hello to all. I'm a vet from Brasil who works with acupuncture in small animals. i'm looking for some infformation about pulse diagnosis in animals, papers,...
I believe that the "pecking" pulse in Kiiko style is found on the stomach position (right middle- guan). The pecking pulse lacks horizontal movement and root, ...
Lon - As I relayed before, I concur with your thought that there is an involvement of the *yi. *And, we are speaking about Leon Hammer's hesitant pulse. There...
I can definitely understand that. To some degree it is contingent upon perspective. For example, one can see the representative formula for treating Hesitant...
OK - let's mix our metaphors. The hesitant pulse has a shortened time for automaticity and refractory period. These notes are extrapolated from studies with...
Hi Will. Looking back thru the discussion, I can see you all are speaking, identifying the specific use of the term, from Mr Hammers view. I'll look and maybe...
As for constitution, I really like palpating the source point of the channel that I correlate with the constitution. The most weak, the most strong, the...
Ross, I can see the heart yin component that you are pointing to and it makes perfect sense. With herbs I've often used Gan Lu Yin when hesitant is seen in...
Lon Yes. Hesitant wave can accompany any other pulse qualities, not necessarily Tight. Tight on Uniform Impressions would suggest systemic yin defic, while the...
I have written quite much about pulse diagnosis in animals in my book, which may be seen at my homepage. The book is published in Norwegian, English, Italian,...

I think the notion, is of the language that we use in describing the actual methods in our approach in aggregating our data. There is no way to actually strip...
