Within this site you will find information about my background and acupuncture experience.

Please use the menu buttons on this Website to find out more about me, read acupuncture articles that I have had published or check out links to other web sites you may find of interest.

What is new?


I have included some minor modifications in the acupuncture dry mouth and dry eyes protocol. There is an additional section on taste recuperation. This remains under development, but might be worth incorporating into the dry mouth treatment.

There are some new publications that I have contributed to the acupuncture field under the “Acupuncture Articles."

I have up-dated my Curriculum Vitae, photo and age.

Thank you for visiting.
