About the author. Gunter Ralf Neeb MD TCM (China) was born in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1959. He became interested in Chinese culture at an early stage. As a student he read translations of Chinese philosophers and later on during 3 years of studying naturopathy he became deeply involved with Chinese acupuncture and Western phytotherapy. After his Heilpraktiker examination (German equivalent of naturopath; apart from that of medical doctors, the only profession entitled to practise medicine – Translator’s note) he carried out a study on the comparison of herbs used in traditional Chinese and traditional Western medicine. In order to study Chinese medicine in China himself, in 1987 and 1988 he successfully completed the three-stage Chinese language course at the Sinikum, University of Bochum, and then went on to Taiwan in 1988. For 3 years at the Taiwan National Normal University he studied the traditional characters of modern and classical Chinese to the highest level, and was awarded two scholarships by the Chinese Ministry of Education in Taiwan, which are only available to the top 3% of all students. From 1991 to 1993 he also worked as an acupuncturist in the clinic of Professor Chang Cung-Gwo PhD, MD, and completed a 2 years’ training in Qi Gong and Taoist techniques with Master Li Feng-Shan in Taipei. In 1994 he first studied at the College for Chinese Medicine in Yunnan province and later on commenced his Master’s degree at the International College for Traditional Chinese Medicine of Tianjin. In 1998 he graduated as the first non-Chinese with a Master’s degree in Chinese Internal Medicine. His thesis was titled ‘Physiology and pathology of acute and chronic Blood stasis and its treatment’. From 1996 he worked as a doctor of Chinese medicine in the clinical centre of the Research Institute of Tianjin University and in addition, has translated many classical texts into German. In January 2001 he finished his doctoral thesis on geomedical aspects of Chinese medicine and thus concluded his 12 years of studies in Taiwan and China and returned to Germany, being the first non-Chinese with a doctor’s degree in Chinese medicine. Following his teaching activities at the University of Tianjin he was accepted into the university’s teaching staff as a lecturer, and is now instructing at the Universität Witten- Herdicke and various other medical institutions in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Spain. So far, he has published articles on Chinese medicine in English and Chinese and several articles and book contributions in German, amongst which is Das Blutstasesyndrom. His well-known homepage www.TCMinter.net publishes extensive amounts of new material from modern scientific as well as classical sources of Chinese medicine. He believes in his aim of combining the traditional experience of classical sources with the latest findings of research and science into one system of medicine, which is able to meet the requirements of the third millennium. ...
