Synopsis

The Birth of Acupuncture in America: The White Crane's Gift is the first accessible and entertaining introduction to acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine for the ordinary reader. A basic overview of the field that has long been missing--a short and readable, but authoritative guidebook that thousands of Americans who rely on acupuncture have always wanted. Even better, its author is the actual founder of this field in the U.S., Dr. Steven Rosenblatt.

Among its many virtues, The Birth of Acupuncture is a narration of the story of Dr. Ju Gim Shek. As revealed in this book for the first time, Dr. Ju was a real-life medical hero, a deeply devoted teacher who first brought the gift of acupuncture and Chinese medicine to America. Beginning with a chance meeting in 1968, Dr. Ju passed his knowledge to the author, Steven Rosenblatt--who he affectionately called "the Chairman"--and to a handful of other students. This small group of bold pioneers was the first "graduating class" in a field that has now grown to 18,000 licensed practitioners in the U.S.
