Introduction of your next doctor, Dr. Martin Wang

Dr. Martin Wang is a registered acupuncturist and doctor of natural medicine in Millwoods Acupuncture Centre, Edmonton, Canada. He graduated from Xi'an Medical University in China in 1982 and worked in China as doctors in both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine then. He later went to Sweden and got Ph. D. in medicine in 1996 in Lund University, Sweden. He continued Medical research work (postdoc.) in the University of Alberta (lipid research group) till 2000. He has been a senior Scientist in a local neutroceutial company in Red Deer, Alberta and later returned to clinic work as registered acupuncturist in Alberta.

Dr. Martin now focuses on the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy in his clinic work. His acupuncture technique has updated to Dong Shi Qi Xue style, and the herbal therapy, the Jing Fang Pai. These updates make his clinic healing effective rate much higher than before with what he learned from text books.

Dr. Martin always said that, "Give me chance and I give the results." He always recommends that "Try the alternative medicine before you are recommended for long term chemical therapy or surgery operation". More...

Due to the broad experience in the conventional medicine clinic work, the medical research work and TCM clinic practice, he is able to tell the advantage and disadvantage of each medical area. Additional experience in the practice of various alternative healthcare area, such as Chinese Qi Gong, Tai Ji, Japanese Reiki, therapeutic touch, massage, hypnosis, allows him to tell which might be real which might be cheat. All of these experience and knowledge allow him able to set up an information website here for his patient to understand TCM and build up confidence to the TCM.

He likes the clinic work but he also feels responsibility to help those of acupuncturists who learned TCM out of China and educated based on “textbook” TCM. He believes that the current TCM education system could educate more number of TCM graduates, but not TCM doctors. It reaches a quantity of the TCM practitioner, but not at all a quality. If a TCM practitioner feels no confidence to what he learned about TCM, after several years of clinic, the more of such practitioner, the quicker the TCM will die. TCM has come to a critical condition now, even in China. We need the quality, not the quantity now, he said always so. For this reason, he built up a professional forum in the website too, with the wish that it can spark the interest of current TCM practitioners in the Western world to re-study TCM and becomes a true expert. We should be become an expert due to our clinic result, not just because we have lived somewhere for a long time! He reminds himself and his partners so.

The professional forum here does not guarantee that you will be an TCM expert, but will speed up your process to it. You will be hardly an TCM expert if you only know that textbook TCM, he said. There are several clinic styles of TCM but the textbook TCM is none of them. This is proven by the fact that there are less and less national TCM experts in China after 50 years of TCM education that adopted the western medicine education model.

Awake, my colleagues. You should know where you are (in the TCM practice). He said.
