I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist, the Clinical Director of Chicken Soup Chinese Medicine, Research and Founder of Quan Yin Healing Arts Center, and Research Specialist for Integrative Medicine at the UCSF Institute for Health and Aging, all in San Francisco. I have practiced and studied Asian Medicine for 35 years.
For more than twenty-five years, I have developed treatment protocols for people with HIV/AIDS. In 1996 I was selected by POZ Magazine as one of 50 top AIDS researchers.
I am the author of The Chinese Way to Healing: Many Paths to Wholeness (Putnam Perigee 1996, iUniverse, 2006), The HIV Wellness Sourcebook: An East/West Guide to Living Well with HIV/AIDS and Related Conditions (Henry Holt, 1998), and The Hepatitis C Help Book (St. Martin's Press, 2000, 2001 and 2007).
I train Chinese medicine practitioners, including medical doctors, in Europe and the US in gynecology, HIV, hepatitis, and other subjects. I regularly attend and present at international AIDS, hepatitis and cancer symposiums, as well as many Chinese medicine and lay conferences.
Currently, I am a principal investigator at UCSF Institute for Health and Aging on HIV-related, HPV-related and cancer clinical research studies at UCSF and Quan Yin Healing Arts Center. I have participated as an investigator on several University of California research teams and have been a consultant and/or investigator in several UCSF-sponsored Chinese medicine clinical and translational studies in HIV/AIDS, anal dysplasia, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, and nausea in chemotherapy.
I am proud to have created Chinese traditional medicine treatment protocols for PMS, infertility, hepatitis, HIV, endometriosis, HPV-related diseases and menopausal syndromes that are used at Quan Yin Healing Arts Center and Chicken Soup Chinese Medicine. Also, I have developed herbal formulas for HIV, Hepatitis C, chronic viral illness, cancer support, fibromyalgia, and the common cold.
