Hi Everyone!

There is a wonderful Master Tong seminar coming up in San Jose, Nov. 3 and
4. The complete seminar information is at the very bottom of this email.

Esther Su will be teaching the methods of diagnosis and treatment using
Master Tong points. How to make a rapid diagnosis and decide what points
will be used to produce a rapid and very effective treatment, internal
medicine and pain. Most of the time she uses 3-6 needles and she has a
way of explaining it that is very clear, so that everyone can understand and
anyone can apply it immediately.

She has studied extensively with Miriam Lee, Dr Young Wei Chieh, Zhu Ming
Qing (scalp) and others..... although I have found that the way she
practices acupuncture as a whole.....is very much to her own findings and
practice. (It doesn't necessarily reflect the exact way Dr Young practices,
or Miriam...etc)

One common question that may come to mind is....

"A lot of people are teaching Master Tong's seminars, how is this
different?"

I would say that the important thing here is that we are learning and
seeing the way that Esther practices acupucture, that is most important.
Her understanding of acupuncture and classics is high level and it reflects
with how she choses points, and how she can refine and shrink it down to
only a few needles, but rapid results. She studied the Master Tong system,
the scalp system and others but when she practices....... she takes the
essence of acupuncture and places a few needles and it works, fast. Right
when needles are placed in, the pulse changes, the tongue changes and the
chief complaint shows a difference. It's really something special to see and
learn.

I have included the seminar and registration information in this email below
and I will send a seperate email with some of my notes from studying with
her. I hope you all can come as it is really going to an awesome seminar.

Thank you!

Peter Yeung.

live clinical practice. The next day's course will focus on demonstration
of diagnosis and treatment as we see patients throughout the day.
