Bio-Chemistry Week 11
We really got into some deep and intriguing subjects on the first day of biochemistry.
I remember feeling really sad when we were discussing pollution issues and its effects on tissues in as young as three year old children in Mexico City. The discussion of dry needling and appropriation by Kaiser was insightful and as a first trimester student very new and important for me. I remain excited about all the possibilities acupuncture has to offer in regards to people's health ability to heal. I am excited to see how my education helps me navigate all of the obstacles I am yet to be confronted with when working in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture.
"Biochemistry is a science that is concerned with the composition and changes in the formation of living species" I like this quote because it makes a connection between science and the feeling of being concerned, which means it is integrating experimentation, critical thought, and outcome. It also takes into consideration "changes". It also acknowledges that living species are in constant change and that our realities may change based on our actions

Hi Kate, air pollution is definitely a hot topic. David Wei, the qigong teacher here, often states that our ancients never had to deal with so much pollution. The amount of chemicals used in the fabrics we wear is one level, the quality of the air we breathe another, etc. I agree, it's overwhelming. I think part of the medicine is to enable healing responses in spite of it all.
