As the first American to study at the Xi Yuan Hospital in Beijing, I was honored to be mentored by some of China’s most experienced doctors. I worked in a setting where Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine were integrated and serious conditions were effectively treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine in the hospital setting. Today in my clinic I still draw on the wisdom and practical tips from my teachers in China. A favorite line of one of my teachers was, “One disease, long life. No disease, short life,” that is, it usually takes an illness for people to learn good self-care which is essential for longevity.
