Greetings and Welcome to My Website: 
I am a military physician practicing acupuncture full-time at the Malcolm Grow Medical Center, Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland.
I have an occasional (civilian) weekend off – duty employment as an acupuncturist at Rockville, Maryland. Many of the articles about acupuncutre, which I have authored, may be read on this website. Others may be found on-line with appropriate search engines.
I have divided this website into several sections containing articles dealing with:
- Battlefield Acupuncture
- Low Vision
- Xerostomia (dry mouth)
- Xeropthalmia (dry eyes)
- Obesity
- Miscellaneous Articles
