Basic Extension
Training Program
O.I.C.S. "Extension Training Program"
in Modern & Traditional Acupuncture
Over eight hundred and fifty pages of printed materials. Coordinated to supplementary textbook (An Outline of Chinese Acupuncture) and set of four charts by China Cultural Corp. which you can easily obtain from suppliers of acupuncture books and supplies. Starts off assuming you know nothing about acupuncture (a good place to start even if only as a thorough review of the basics) and takes you right through to the most heavy duty advanced aspects of true, 'energetical' acupuncture. The finest and most comprehensive material in the English language, covers all seventy-one meridians of traditional acupuncture; that 'missing sixty percent' of acupuncture knowledge most "acupuncturists" have never even heard of; and, the modern electronic 'needle-less' treatment methods (Electro-Acupoint Therapy) now so popular.
Over 2,000 students were enrolled in this famous program, and the OICS graduate listings read like a "Who's Who of Acupuncture" in the English speaking world. This program takes you as far as anyone possibly can in a 'written' format prior to the clinical finesse and practicum needed to round out your acupuncture study to professional levels.
