Jimmy Wei-Yen Chang, O.M.D., L.Ac.

Thanks so much for the great workshop. Everyone there at Evergreen herbs was very helpful,and you were a great MC, as well as the info from Bob Doan and Jimmy Chang was invaluable. I enjoyed talking with one of your volunteers, Dave, who was assisting with the workshop. I’ve been delving into the Dao of Medicine, which is fabulous, and sampling some of your formulas also. Perhaps I’ll see y’all when you are in Portland in Sept. for the Sunday class with Jimmy Chang. Be well, Al

I heard Jimmy Chang from Bob Doane at a Singer Practice Management Seminar. The 9-10-06 pulse class was my first class with him and it was fabulous. I had attended a famous doc's seminar a couple of weekends earlier in my home town of Madison and in contrast to him Jimmy is a superstar. It was worth flying out to see him. I was also impressed by the teamwork during the presentation and the clarifications you made during the lecture. The short video of the pharmacy was a great addition to the class. And finally the 100% product refund is a smart marketing move: it builds client loyalty to both the classes and Evergreen Herbs a sure fire formula for successful practitioners who will end up buying lots of product long term. I have not yet received the class notes you promised to send out and I was hoping to review them before making my next herb order. Could you please send me a set at this email address? Thank you again for everything. I’m sure that I will be flying out to see you all again soon. D. Milbradt

I just wanted you all to know how much I appreciate the work you do. I've been with you for 3 years or so, and am grateful that you exist. The work you are doing is so important. I tell everyone I know in the industry to take your classes, and I hope the last attendance (Oakland) was evidence of your continued growth. Empowering practitioners to be more effective and successful is the most important work in our industry at this time. It is the most efficient way to massively grow our presence in the healthcare landscape, and in the culture at large. It is also the best way to have fun, love our jobs, and enjoy being of service. Robert did a great job, and might just be your most important speaker at this time, in my opinion. We all need these acupuncture businesses to thrive, and we need clinics and people we can model. Of course, all the teachers you make available thus far, Dr, Jimmy for example, basically represent something like getting the chance to learn golf from Tiger Woods, or hoops from Michael Jordan. It's crazy to not be there if you want to be on top of your game. You have to play with the best. So here's your chance. And at a great price. With great people running the business behind it all. Let me know how I can help, in addition to continuing to attend. Peace, D. Wegner

Tina et al., Please put my name on the list for Jimmy Chang's initial pulse diagnosis class next year. Thank you. The Oakland seminars were absolutely mind-blowing. Unfortunately for Jimmy, Robert's seminar on Saturday had us all going all day, so on Sunday our attention spans were a little shot. Frankly, I think Jimmy is not only the best herbalist I have ever seen or heard of, he may be the best ever. He is certainly someone who can stand with Zhang Zhong-Jing, Li Dong-Yuan and the rest of the best. It is a privilege to be alive at the same time. And Robert is smart enough to put together Jimmy's and Richard Tan's modalities into one super-medicine, as well as promote what he can do with it effectively and serve many people. It strikes me that these brilliant gentlemen have been resurrecting wonders from the Nei Jing which have been neglected too long, but there is more to combine with what they have done. There still remains carotid and St-42 pulses and much more in-depth face and body reading, and there are of course those who know how to read these things amazingly well today, but they don't have what Jimmy and Richard have. And also there remains the best of the modern understanding of the wisdom of traditional and indigenous dietary wisdom, which precedes and outdoes Chinese dietary wisdom but needs the energetic understanding of Chinese medicine (and/or Ayur-Veda) to complete it. As to the dietary stuff, I refer to and commend to your reading the work of Weston Price, DDS, who studied the dietary habits and incredible healthiness of indigenous and traditional peoples the world over in the 1930s. I think putting all this together, along with the other kinds of things your seminars present already, would pretty much be as complete a picture of clinical mastery as may ever be possible to amass. What a doctorate level program that would be if some accredited school were able to sponsor it. Anyway, I look forward to receiving the notes from these seminars and thank you again for this last weekend and for everything you amazing people do. J. Garner, L.Ac.

I recently attended Jimmy Chang's revolutionary pulse diagnosis seminar. In addition to the valuable information that I learned I was particularly impressed with the way the Lotus seminars are run. They are organized, always on time and the Chen family is very warm and generous. Whenever I attend one of the seminars I feel like I am being welcomed into someone's home. Sam, Ivy and Tina do a professional job setting up as well as running the event. Tina is very gracious, extremely motivated, intelligent all wrapped up with a great sense of humor. She is a wonderful roll model for women TCM Doctors everywhere. I will continue to acquire my CEU'S through the lotus seminars and I will advise my collogues to do the same. This seminar was outstanding and I am looking forward to part 2 in December. Let me say that everyone at Lotus is doing a great job and the profession of Chinese Medicine in the US is very fortunate to have you! Keep it up. D. Konikowski The seminar is very well prepared & organized. Dr. Chang is the best most inspirational teacher as good as it gets. This is my first attendance as a 2nd year student, I feel this is a wonderful way to supplement my studies.
