Dr. Janice Hadlock, DAOM, LAc, has been a professor of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine at Five Branches University, in Santa Cruz, California, since 1998. She is the founder and director of the non-profit Parkinson's Recovery Project, which makes available for free download the latest research on Parkinson's disease from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (www.pdrecovery.org). She has led research projects on Parkinson's disease, on the long-term effects of shock, on the bioelectric basis for Chinese medicine, and on converting the often incorrectly translated terminology of Chinese medicine into an English that more accurately gives the brilliant, Chinese medical meanings of the words. She lectures widely and has been published in many peer-reviewed journals of Chinese medicine. She was the first acupuncturist to have a commentary accepted for publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. In Canada, the best prices for her books are at Eastern Currents (EasternCurrents.ca)
