Deepest Health Chinese Medicine Podcast Episode 5 : Interview with Abdallah B. Stickley

by Eric on August 7, 2008

chinese medicine podcastI have a special treat for you.  Deepest Health’s first podcast interview!   I am honored to offer this interview of Abdallah B. Stickley talking about his practice and teaching of Contemporary Pulse Diagnosis, his work with Dr. Leon Hammer, his understanding of Classical Chinese Medicine and more.  Near the end of the podcast, Abdallah and I discuss a number of topics that refer to our upcoming project here on Deepest Health.

As a first try at a long-distance podcast interview, we didn’t do a bad job – but I recognize that the recording quality doesn’t do the content justice!  I do hope you enjoy it.  Note:  I have higher quality recording equipment on the way and hope you will stick with me while my skills and knowledge increase!  Thanks again.

Note: I will not be doing my normal Friday summary podcast – I’m going to wait to do another one until I get my new sound equipment, which should arrive around August 13.  I hope you will enjoy the new sound!

Some important links to sites and books discussed in the podcast:

  1. Abdallah’s site covering Chinese medicine, self-cultivation, Islam and much more : Even Unto China
  2. Dragon Rises.org : site containing articles, links and information about seminars pertaining to Contemporary Pulse Diagnosis
  3. Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine
  4. Dr. Leon Hammer’s two most well-known books (affiliate links – if you buy through them, Deepest Health gets a small percentage of the sale – thanks!) :
  5. Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies
    Chinese Pulse Diagnosis: A Contemporary Approach (Revised Edition)

Aw maaan…you totally scooped me. I just thought of doing a text interview a couple days ago, and here you are with an audio one. I am Jack’s jilted apprentice.

I just found this quote:

“He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense…Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.”

- Joseph Conrad

Mike,

Sorry man! You can still do an interview and talk about other stuff. It’s not as if he’s got nothing else to say. :)

Mike
I’m sure we’d enjoy an interview about ethics or the many other topics he shares with us. Barbara

Wow!

I’m new to this site, and I must say that I am very impressed! Once again, I find myself coming away with a new reading list to go check up on (in all my spare time!) This sounds like a project that can evolve and grow as it progresses to truly change lives, and especially to improve our perspective as we embark on the practice of this medicine. I look forward to following this.

And, yes, Mike, I agree with Barbara and Eric: That’s a deep well to draw from. Keep it coming!
:-)
