Acupuncture Revisited

About the Book

Evidenced by the surprising outcomes of a variety of disorders as they responded to acupuncture, the innovative approach of this superb medicine has made both healthcare providers and recipients happy. This updated approach to acupuncture not only empowers practitioners to enjoy successful treatments of more difficult conditions, but also helps patients understand the background of this ancient modality of Clinical Acuology.

Camouflaged under the theory of Yin Yang and Acts of Five Elements, acupuncture emerges as a unique remedy as Dr. Yang takes you through his journal of his medical practice as it evolved from Conventional Western Medicine into an integration of Eastern and Western Medicine; telling about some of his clinical experiences and theories, and how he proved them over time with acupuncture.

This book intertwines the ancient theories with current research findings. It is filled with detailed accounts of dire patients as they came to acupuncture as a last resort - and got well, as doctor and patient worked together to reach proper diagnoses and treatments.

As you read this book, we hope you enjoy the journey into the past as well as the insight into the lives changed through acupuncture - and if you are so inclined, to learn the techniques.

About the Author

Dr. I-Yen Yang was born in Tokyo and was raised with acupuncture (administered by his mother) in Taiwan, where he also received his Western Medical Doctorate degree. He did his internship in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and his residency in internal medicine in Detroit, Michigan, hospitals. At the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, he received his fellowship in sub-specialties of internal medicine: hematology, medical oncology, allergy and immunology. He is board certified in all areas.

He studied acupuncture in China, Japan and Taiwan, and came to Richland, Washington, in 1973 to practice Western medicine. By popular demand, he soon began integrating acupuncture into his practice, and he has been considered a pioneer because of the timing of the emerging practice of acupuncture in this country in the early seventies. He says that more people have been healed by his acupuncture than by all the other specialties and sub-specialties combined. His desire is to bring healing, health and wholeness to his patients, by restoring the flow of the vital life energy within - by freeing the Qi.

Dr. Yang's vast training, his love of medicine and people, plus his experience, wisdom, compassion and humor, make the treatments very beneficial, and bear out his theories over the years. He is currently practicing at The Acupoint in Richland, Washington. He and his wife Bi Fang have two children.
