Call for guest writers at Deepest Health
Hey everyone,
The summer is wrapping up for us at NCNM, which means a ramping up of school-related activity for me. Add to that the fact that my best friends are getting married (and both my partner and I are in the wedding) is a recipe for light content here on Deepest Health. So, I’d like to put a call out for guest authors. I’m particularly interested in offering articles from guest authors on the following three topics:
1. Back to school : Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine students all over the US and elsewhere in the Northern hemisphere are heading back to school. What advice do you have for them? This can range from product reviews to lists of “must have” books and supplies, etc…
2. Basic information from a unique perspective : For instance, what can you tell us about some commonly used acupuncture points, but put a twist on them using the classics?
3. Clinical stories : If you’re a storyteller and would like to share some of your most poignant lessons, whether in the classroom or clinic, I’m happy to publish stories like that as well.
Criteria for authors - I can’t publish just anything on Deepest Health, of course. A site’s got to have standards, after all. :) You need to be able to write in English with a reasonable degree of accuracy and have decent flow. You need to be able to proofread your articles and come up with engaging titles for them. You need to be in the field of Chinese medicine, whether as a student, teacher or practitioner. I reserve the right to say no to anyone. I will probably receive more requests than I can publish, but may keep folks’ names on a list to contact if another guest writing opportunity arrives. Let me know if you would rather I not put your name on that list.
Benefits of being a guest writer - If you run a blog or website, the benefits of being a guest writer are numerous. Deepest Health gets a fair amount of targeted traffic, and because a link to your site will be provided in the text of the post, you will get visitors heading over to your site to learn more about the person behind the article. The link will also provide some “link juice” from Google, helping your search engine rankings. Even if you’re not a website owner, you will be able to get your name and your writing out there for folks in your field to read. You will also obtain the massive personal benefits I get from having a blog - chief among them solidifying what you know and exposing what you don’t… a benefit that usually only comes from writing.
If you would like to write an article, and meet the criteria, please send your article along with a statement about who you are, where you go to school/teach/practice and any other relevant information to deepesthealth @ gmail . com (without the spaces). It’s critical that the article not be published anywhere else on the web, so don’t bother sending me rehashed content. If I choose your article, I will let you know and we can go from there!
One more note, folks : I will not be able to put together my regular Friday podcast this week. I’m so sorry! I will return to normalcy next week, no worries.
Thanks,
Eric

About Eric Grey
Who is Eric Grey?
I am a fourth year student of Classical Chinese Medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR. I am absolutely, passionately, insanely in love with Chinese medicine. This love has kick started my life in ways I didn’t think were possible. I now believe it is my duty on this planet to foster deep health in as many people as I can manage to come into contact with. This blog is one of the tactics I’d like to use to reach that goal.
I’m always happy to hear your comments and questions. If you’d like to comment on a post, please do leave a comment with the post. If you have a suggestion for content, a request for further information or just have some other question - please contact me!

What is Deepest Health all about?
This blog is dedicated to exploring Classical Chinese medicine. Inevitably, because it is written by a student, it will grow and change as my knowledge and experience expands. On the site you will find archives of material on a variety of topics related to Chinese medicine from basic information on acupuncture and herbal medicine to frank discussions about professional ethics and the status of our profession today. The information is intended for a number of different groups of people.
- For patients and the general public, I provide basic information about Chinese medicine as well as suggestions on how to use the philosophy and methodology of Chinese medicine to live a fuller life.
- For students, I provide the above, plus book and study material reviews, information about student organizations and early professional development, study tips and resources as well as a platform for passionate discussion about the medicine in which you are investing so much.
- For current practitioners, I can only respectfully offer the above and hope you will participate in discussion - allowing us all to benefit from the power of your experience. If you are new to Classical Chinese medicine, you may benefit from the discussions on that topic.
The material is updated regularly - my ability to write is ultimately impacted by my school and family schedule. My goal is to post about 5 times a week during the school year, less frequently when testing is heavy. It is my hope that Deepest Health can grow to be a center for discussion of the theory and practice of Classical Chinese medicine as well as a place for professionals and future professionals of this medicine can interact and learn.
