Thank you Dr. Wang! Dr. Yun Guo Wang recently retired from teaching from SIEAM after more than 25 years.

Last week Craig presented Dr. Wang with a scroll done by SIEAM faculty Josh Paynter Chinese Medicine And Daoism, as a gift from the SIEAM Community.

In honor of Black History month, let’s shine a light on a connection of acupuncture and the Black Panthers!
The NADA protocol, an ear acupuncture intervention for trauma, substance abuse, and related mental health conditions has its roots with the Black Panthers and Young Lords. This protocol originated in the Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx in the 70s, born out of community empowerment as an alternative method of drug addiction treatment. This protocol is used by practitioners world wide and by organizations such as Acupuncturists without Borders.
