Course Overview
Bob Quinn worked for a number of years with Heiner Fruehauf, Ph.D. in his Hai Shan Clinic, and in this time saw many chronic Lyme disease patients. Although he was already at that point in time a seasoned practitioner of Japanese Meridian Therapy, he soon learned that “normal” gentle acupuncture practices were in fact not gentle enough for most chronic Lyme patients. At that point in time he came into contact with some new teachers (such as Funamizu Takahiro and Iwashina Anryu) who could guide him into the world of non-insertive skills. In this important course he shares some of the key insights from his studies with these teachers.
