PS

Before Christmas I was able to record several interviews with colleagues from many corners of the globe.

Francisco in Luxembourg, Andy in New Jersey, Jiri in Prague and Adam in San Diego, all contributing to a more global understanding of traditional acupuncture.

In the first of these interviews, Adam talks about the journey from graduation to his present practice at the Awakenings Health Institute http://www.awakeningshealth.org/ where in addition to general practice, he specializes in treatment to aid the recovery of victims of severe spinal and brain injury.
