He is fluent in reading classical and modern Chinese. After he graduated from SIOM, he went back to original source of Chinese medicine before modernized Chinese medicine. He is especially interested in and tries to emulate Ming dynasty physician, Zhang Jing Yue (1563 to 1640) tradition. In addition he is also trying to gain insight from the oldest existing Chinese medicine classic, Nei Jing (Circa B.C. 722 – 221, Inner Classic) and Shang Han Lun discussion on damage) by Zhang Zhong Jing (Circa A.D. 150 – 219) from Eastern Han dynasty. Doug considers himself as a purist or a traditionalist of Chinese medicine who draws and utilizes the ancient knowledge and experience from the Classics. Doug has been successful in treating general health conditions such as low energy, severe headache, stomach conditions, muscular pain, women’s health such as menstruation cycle –related- conditions, and even successes with infertility.
At SIOM, Doug was taught Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) style of acupuncture. Years ago he had opportunity to come across and read Master Tung’s acupuncture book written in Chinese by Dr. Wei Chieh Young who is one of direct disciples of Master Tung. In 2006, Doug went to Dr. Young’s four day seminar “The Complete Courses of Tung’s Acupuncture” and in addition he attended “The Best of Master Tung’s Points” by Susan Johnson.
