Thanks for the shout out on RadioQi.com and our AcutherapeuticA recordings on iTunes. FYI, I am still a student of Chinese Medicine here at Emperor’s College in Santa Monica,CA with a graduation date of 2010. Yea! Wanted to let you know, Eric, that I was inspired to create these recordings after experiencing exactly what you did. I worked with an esteemed professor, Dr. David Twicken, as our content editor (once I had compiled all the info from multiple and reliable sources, such as Deadman’s text). I also worked on AcutherapeuticA with Keith Kohn, a very talented friend of mine who composes music for TV & film here in Los Angeles. And over the course of several months compiled and recorded the points with English names, as well as pinion, along with their indications. This intensive project required that I individually raise several thousand dollars to produce the MP3 series (9 hours of recorded material!) professionally to the level of excellence I felt our profession deserves. I feel it is important to put a face and a name with our product to communicate to you and your readers that RadioQi.com was birthed by just another student like yourself. Currently, 10% of our net profits go to international children’s charities, so everyone can feel great about purchasing and downloading AcutherapeuticA. Additionally, Eric, I just want to note a very important correction to what your write up, and that is that the cost of AcutherapeuticA is not $100 for all the channels. It is an affordable $10 per album download (the same as most albums on iTunes), and some albums include several channels. The comprehensive material is actually summed up on only 6 albums (the ones with the soothing meditative music), and can be purchased in total for only$60…not $100. If someone wants the additional, techno groove mixes of the 101 most commonly used points, that’s only an additional 2 albums, again for just $10 per album. And important to note…RadioQi.com doesn’t set those prices…iTunes does. We have several more recordings in process and locations are among them, Eric, so stay tuned! And thanks again for the awesome shout out. AcutherapeuticA has been a very personal and dedicated labor of love, and I am very grateful for being able to be a part of it and inspire greater learning for all. :)

i have a recording of the point locations, some soothing woman’s voice over hypnotic chords. it’s probably not useful to you anymore, but if it is i am happy to give it to you!

thanks for being a constant source of information and inspiration.

we’ll miss you, mr. president!

Yael: I don’t think I would want my school to do that, no. The fact is that the exams change, and we already are given a complete listing of the topics in the test by the testing agency. I’d rather my school focus on things that matter, and allow me to find my own way to pass the exams. I’ve had no problem so far, they’re not exactly the most challenging things in the world. I’m just being extra cautious with this last one. :) Also : great work on the redesign – I hope I can do something similar soon.

Good to hear from you again, you’ve been missed.

Thanks for the good links, it’s the first time I see these websites.

I can totally understand why you wouldn’t want to spend too much time on studying the TCM stuff- while it works on certain levels (in my humble opinion and experience), it’s very stressful to study and not very interesting.
But then, wouldn’t you prefer to have some kind of workbook from your school to help you through these exams, which are- in my understanding- very TCM?
Or maybe you have it and I didn’t get that…

I hope you’ll do very well!

Take care,
Yael

I have found myself in exactly the same situation as you! When studying points I found just reading them very tedious, and I love my iPhone and listening to music on it and have it with me all the time so, used a voice record app to record the points and then exported and reimported them again as mp3. It’s not perfect, its my voice and there is no music in the background which I wish I had added. I recorded them as channel groups rather than each point so I can only skip between each channel which is a bit of a pain. When combined with a couple of Acupoint apps (neither of which are perfect) its a pretty good solution that suits my geeky needs. There is definate room for improvement though!
