An Interview with Edward Neal

Following the paradigm-shaking series of three articles recently written by Edward Neal for The Journal of Chinese Medicine (issues 100, 102 and 104), we wanted to follow up by interviewing Dr. Neal in order to tease out some of the threads arising. Dr. Neal has been practising and teaching Chinese medicine for over 20 years. Originally trained as a Western allopathic physician, he first studied traditional acupuncture with Dr. Anita Cignolini of Milan, Italy. He is currently Director and Senior Researcher for Neijing Studies at the Xinglin Institute, a multi-disciplinary research and educational institute dedicated to the study of early Chinese medical texts in order to find solutions to global health problems.
