Shameless self promotion?
This Saturday’s links are, perhaps, a bit self serving. I hope you won’t think it’s too much - but if you do, I apologize. I just started two new blogs that I hope you will be interested in reading. They are both just brand new - like a baby still covered in various tissues, squinty eyed, bright red and squalling. The designs are fairly stable, but the sidebars will get more complex and certainly lots of new free content will be added over the next several months. Remember how fun it was a the beginning of Deepest Health? No? Well - get in on these while the fun is still building. :)
1. Naturalmedicinesuccess.com : This blog has multiple purposes. At base, it will be a blow-by-blow chronicle of the building of my medical practice with my partner, Amanda Barp LMT. We will take you through our process from nascent vision statement to opening day and beyond. Along the way, we hope to offer tons of value. We’ll do reviews : of herb and other types of companies, of software and hardware, of organizations, of anything that warrants a review. We’ll do interviews : of prominent business people in the field of natural medicine, of folks in various companies in natural medicine, of our peers who are struggling to do what we’re doing, and so on. We’ll tell stories : of the adventure that is working with your spouse, of the even greater adventure that is integrating your whole immediate family into one’s business, of interacting with patients (confidentiality preserved, of course), peers, vendors and official persons of all stripes. We’ll offer our take on the best of the best and the worst of the worst. We may have other folks joining us in the writing as well. I think it will be a great read for beginning entrepreneurs in any field but the particular bent will be, of course, natural medicine - since that’s what we’re doing.
2. Ericgrey.com : It’s time for me, finally, to have a personal site. There’s just so much I do that has little to do directly with Chinese medicine. I want to keep Deepest Health as focused on Chinese medicine and the things it directly connects with in my mind. I hope you appreciate that. Ericgrey.com will be far more personal, and it is the one of the two that you may be less interested in as Deepest Health readers. No offense taken, I promise. I’ll talk about a variety of subjects, but because of the nature of my life I will almost certainly focus primarily on the following topics:
- My eclectic spiritual practice (that takes Christianity as its base but involves Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism)
- Veganism and raising a vegan family in a wacky, wacky world
- Personal development, including personal organization and various technology involved
- Raising a conscious and compassionate kid (again, in a wacky, wacky world)
I reserve the right to go off-topic there. It’s mine, ok? :D
Okay, so I owe it to you to put a non-me link in the list. :)
3. I’m not sure how many of you know Steve Pavlina. I acutally read most of Steve’s stuff before I started Deepest Health, so I may not have talked about him much on this site. Steve has nothing to do with Chinese medicine, but his personal development philosophy (focused on love, compassion, and clear thinking) certainly resonates with many of the principles of the medicine. I’ve linked specifically to a great month of his blog archives - nearly every article is a winner. He has an extensive archive - I recommend you read through the first two years in particular. Great, great stuff. Very helpful for practitioner development.
Thanks for reading,
Eric

That shift will be supervised by Dr. Arnaud Versluys, internationally known Shang Han Lun style herbalist, during the latter part of the summer at the same time. Under supervising physician Dr. Kou on the cancer-care specialty shift I will be working Monday from 4-8pm. Finally, on Thursdays from 12-4pm I will be honored to work with David Berkshire, a five element acupuncture specialist. I would be happy to see you on any of these shifts.

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!

You can also find me at two other blogs:
My personal site : ericgrey.com

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.
