START GROUP INDEX—July 2001
Introduction
The START Group is a membership organization of the Institute for Traditional Medicine and Preventive Health Care (ITM). Members receive an extensive literature on traditional medicine in mailings sent three times per year. This index includes articles of current interest (some items previously mailed to members have been deleted because they have become out of date) produced during the period October 1993 to May 2000. Also in this index are selected articles from a previous group of mailings (Subscriber Service, 1989–1993), that were in the series titled Clinical Tips and Straight from China. These latter items are mentioned in order to alert practitioners to subjects that will be tackled in future START mailings during the process of revising earlier articles. Also, if members have an immediate need for one of these articles, ITM can fax or mail a copy.
The purpose of the START group
is to work vigorously towards finding solutions to modern health problems through
practical application of traditional medicine.
The primary thrust is towards the utilization of Chinese medicine,
especially through its integration with modern medicine, but several
traditional medicine systems will be described (such as Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and
Native American), and portions of these are suggested to be considered either
as adjuncts to the Chinese and modern medical approaches or as part of the
effort to give broader perspective on traditional medicine. In addition, some articles will address
issues that are relevant to the preservation of traditional medicine.
Despite the many improvements
in knowledge about genetic influences, diet, nutrition, and life style factors
on disease incidence, and the use of an increasing array of disease-preventive
vaccines, a persisting dissatisfaction with modern medicine arises from lack of
reliance on low cost, non-toxic, early-intervention strategies for controlling
chronic diseases. In many instances,
alternatives and adjuncts to current medical methods can be provided through
the accumulated knowledge in the field of traditional medicine and the wisdom
of natural living that practitioners of traditional medicine have
attained.
The current medical situation—relying on expensive, invasive modern techniques for both early stage disease and long-term degenerative conditions—places a massive burden on all people. It results in the inappropriate application of techniques that are best reserved for crisis situations, yet are given to virtually all patients—or withheld because of lack of funds. Today, a major national concern in America is access to health care, related to the high cost of medical care (especially end-of-life care) and prescription drugs, which are used in increasing numbers. Traditional medicine can fill the obvious gaps in the modern health care system and bring relief to some of these burdens. It can succeed only if high quality teaching, research, and patient management is attained. The START Group will strive to bring quality and practicality to those endeavors.
Autoimmune diseases, brain and other nervous system disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, ADD, autism, ALS), women’s concerns (e.g., fibroids, ovarian cysts, infertility, menopause), diabetes, asthma, eye disorders, AIDS, and cancer have been major focuses of the START Group manuscripts to date. However, many other health issues have been addressed and will continue to be analyzed as information becomes available. The START Group articles will also aim at revealing problems with the current status of traditional medicine that might be rectified, and with instituting direct applications of the traditional medical techniques, as opposed to simple repetition of the dogma of traditional medicine. In addition, the START Group materials will provide a basic training program for practitioners, including a complete revision of the Chinese Herbology program, which was originally introduced by Subhuti Dharmananda in 1980. As indicated in the articles, a number of texts should be available for getting additional essential information.
About the Authors
Most of the START Group articles were written by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D. Dr. Dharmananda received his doctorate in Biology from the University of California, and is Director of the Institute for Traditional Medicine (since its founding in 1979). Other articles were authored or co-authored by Heiner Fruehauf, Ph.D., L.Ac.; he received his Ph.D. in Germany for studies in classical Chinese, and obtained his acupuncture license in Oregon following extensive studies in China. He currently runs a Chinese medical training program at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine and practices at ITM’s An Hao Natural Health Care Clinic; he is the author of the ITM books Treatment of Difficult and Recalcitrant Diseases with Chinese Herbs and The Five Organ Networks of Chinese Medicine. In a few cases, the articles were co-authored by Edythe Vickers, N.D., L.Ac., who received her medical licensing in Oregon following studies at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and the National College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Vickers currently works at ITM’s clinical facilities, mainly the An Hao Natural Health Care Clinic. Some articles by other authors have been copied for distribution or edited to fit the format of the START Group materials. In the following index, unless mentioned otherwise, the articles are by Subhuti Dharmananda.
About the Subdivision of Articles
In the index, articles have been grouped in four divisions. The “Action Category” includes resource guides that can be used to locate books, journals, medical products, and other resources, to aid education and practice, and it also includes some articles or report forms that may help you get involved with various areas of study, clinical activity, research, or efforts to preserve traditional medicine. The “Disorder Category” includes articles about treating specific disorders or groups of disorders. The “General Subjects Category” includes articles that are intended to enhance your overall understanding of the principles and procedures involved with traditional medicine. The “Substance Category” includes articles about individual herbs, herbal formulas, active constituents, or drugs. In all, there are about 200 articles, with over 1,000 pages of text and illustrations. Articles preceded by an asterisk (*) are suitable for non-practitioners, as well.
About Publication of These Articles in Journals and on the Internet
Several of the articles in the START Group were published in various journals, including the Protocol Journal of Botanical Medicine (no longer published) and the International Journal of Oriental Medicine (Oriental Healing Arts Institute 1945 Palo Verde Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90815). These articles were requested for publication by the journals. Several articles are also made available on ITM’s web page: http:\\www.itmonline.org. Articles posted on the internet may have been altered by removing any appendices that mention the ITM formulary.
About Manuscript Revisions and Copying of Manuscripts
From time to time, START Group manuscripts that have been mailed in the past are revised. Unless the revision is substantial, the article will not automatically be mailed again to members; when there are major revisions the new version is mailed and members are asked to remove the old version from their files and replace it with the new one. The ITM authors give permission to START Group members to copy the articles—as might be helpful for use in classes or for patients—but members are advised to check with ITM to make sure that the most updated version is being used to make the copies. If a revised version has become available, it will be sent to members upon request (for making copies, please request a single-sided master).
Storing the Articles
The articles are not intended to be stored in three ring binders: the margins are not sufficient to allow for this. Instead, it is expected that members will store the articles in a file cabinet. For ease of retrieval, the articles may be filed according to the listing in this index.
