Poem adapted from the Odes of Pindar, 470 BCE

Within this huge book on the Medicine of Life I found this wonderful poem.

"The art of Medicine is rooted in the heart.

If your heart is false, you will also be a false physician.

If your heart is just, you will also be a true physician.

Therefore go forth in all your speed,

And may your hands be as good as your heart."

Biomedicine...Medicine of Life

Tonight I began reading a wonderful book on Biomedicine meaning medicine of life, by Dr. Bruce H. Robinson a former vascular surgeon. He talks about how the medicine of the future will no longer be Western or Eastern but simply World Medicine. He states "the single most pivotal Western discovery was William Harvey's 1628 experimental confirmation of continuous blood circulation by the cardiovascular system. Yet while Western medicine considers Harvey's work the single most important discovery, the Chinese described the blood circulation some 2000 years earlier. This first account is found in the Guanzi(ca. 450-100 BCE): in the essay on "Water and Earth". A correlation is noted between water flowing on earth to blood circulation in body."

Attain Fertility's Interview with Dr. Goodman and our patient

Recently Attain Fertility called me to do an interview regarding one of my patient's who is also a patient of Dr. Goodman an RE at the Reproductive Medicine Group and the following is a link to that interview, http://blog.attainfertility.com/2010/09/east-meets-west-accupuncture-and-ivf/

I want to thank Dr. Goodman for endorsing the practice of acupuncture and hope with her endorsement more patients undergoing fertility treatments will utilize it in conjunction with their procedures.
