Professional Summary

Senior clinician: I have created a series of effective Chinese herbal formulas and a unique acupuncture technique for long-term chronic patients. I have successfully treated over 7000 Americans who had failed with modern medicine, significantly improving patient satisfaction and patient return.

Senior scientist: The first showed morphological evidence of acupuncture's effects on acute ischemic stroke in rats by electrophysiology, cerebrovascular perfusion, histochemistry, microscope, electron-microscope, and micro-spectrophotometer quantitative analysis. I provided proof of the early signs of multiple organ damage caused by an acute cerebral stroke in rats. Through autoradiography and electron-microscope, I demonstrated cerebral responses of stimulating different acupoints.
