Nates (an acupuncture consumer representative), and Dr. Whei Chue Shih (acupuncturist), members of the Oriental Acupuncture Center of Boston, in the second. Topics include the health benefits of meditation, the training of Chinese doctors, the use of herbs, and the differences between eastern and western approaches to illness.
