Biographical Overview of Dr. Yiming Wang

Dr. Yiming Wang majored in traditional Chinese medicine at the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Beijing, China, now the Beijing University of TCM, and received a diploma, an equivalent of a Bachelor of Science diploma in the States. She received both Western and Chinese medical training there. She has worked in medicine since the early 1970's, and began lecturing as Associate Professor at the Beijing College of TCM in China. She taught basic theories of TCM, the science of TCM formulas, and acupuncture theory at the undergraduate level.

From the mid-1970's to 1991 Dr. Yiming Wang was a doctor of TCM and clinical practice and an acupuncturist in China. She has worked on laboratory experiments in basic theories of TCM for 10 years, and participated in a study project on application of TCM to genetic/biological methodology in anti-AIDS, anti-cancer, and anti-magnetic field damage efforts at the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In China she was an examiner of the National Study Program in TCM and an associate professor of TCM, specializing in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. To help Western medical students to understand Eastern medicine and acupuncture, she has directed a televised documentary: "Phlegm and Water". Yiming Wang has authored 6 books and 30 papers on the subject of Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine in China. Since she came to the U.S., she found that patients often asked her, "how does acupuncture work," so to answer this question, she has also written a book named "How Does Acupuncture Work" in English in 2003.

In 2022, she wrote a new book in Chinese, "Medical Essays", which was sold publicly on Amazon.

Amazon said:

Acupuncture, with its mysterious oriental culture and philosophy, has gradually entered the American medical arena over the past four or five decades. People have tried acupuncture with disbelief, superstition and half-belief. It was first discovered that it can relieve pain, which solved a big problem. Scientists have analyzed its mechanism from the perspective of Western medicine and anatomical theory, intending to incorporate acupuncture into the framework of Western medical theory and make it a technical means of Western medical treatment, a therapy.

But they can't explain why so many difficult and complicated diseases, such as cardiomyopathy, acute renal failure, myasthenia gravis, inexplicable diplopia, paralysis of bowel and stool after laminectomy, angina pectoris, biliary colic, gastric spasm, gastroptosis, indigestion, diaphragmatic spasm, anxiety attack, bipolar, urticaria, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, ulcerative colitis, localized scleroderma, degenerative knee disease, restless legs, hypothyroidism, etc., etc. ... Many diseases that Western medicine cannot find out, diseases that cannot be cured even if they are found, and pains that cannot be solved even after multiple emergency visits, so many strange diseases, are cured by acupuncture in a treatment or several times, why? It seems that anatomy is not enough!

What diseases can acupuncture treat? What is the essence of acupuncture? Let's see Dr. Wang Yiming, a licensed acupuncturist who has been practicing independently in the United States for more than 30 years, She tells us:

Acupuncture is a treatment method that promotes self-healing ability. All neuroendocrine and immune functions and the functional disorders of nerves, muscles, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, etc. under their command are all qi disorders in the framework of traditional Chinese medicine theory. These qi disorder syndromes have common characteristics and clinical manifestations, scattered in internal medicine, gynecology and pediatrics, neuroendocrine and immune, and even ophthalmology, podiatry, dermatology and other departments. Its diagnosis can be based on syndromes and characteristics of the disease, and its treatment has rules to follow.

"Qi" is a blind spot in Western medicine theory, so how do doctors and patients perceive this mysterious qi? What is the best needle feeling during acupuncture? What kind of diseases and what kind of people may benefit from acupuncture treatment? Dr. Wang plainly tells her experience notes in the latest publication "Medical Essays".

In 1991 she came to the United States and practiced acupuncture while teaching acupuncture/herbology at the Beijing School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1992 she moved to Richardson and began a private practice in acupuncture and herbology. She is a licensed acupuncturist and an Oriental Medical Doctor. Currently in the US she is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in the state of Texas and a National Board Diplomate of Herbology. She was the director of the Dallas Institute of Chinese Medicine. She was an item writer for the Chinese herbology exam for the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

In the United States she has taught acupuncture and Chinese medicine in the Dallas Institute of Chinese Medicine in Richardson and several of her students have received state acupuncture licenses. She has taught Chinese medicine at the Third Coast Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She has taught seminars on acupuncture at North Texas University, University of Texas in Dallas, and Richland College of Dallas. She has also been invited to several other seminars to teach acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Dr. Yiming Wang's current areas of expertise include clinical practice of acupuncture as an acupuncturist and a doctor of TCM; continuing the writing of articles to introduce acupuncture and Chinese medicine; and working to introduce how to use herbal diet to improve the body's health. She advocates the integration of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine as a philosophy of health-care.

In addition to common pain symptoms, as well as common internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatric diseases, she is best at treating those difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be diagnosed by Western medicine, but the patients are in great pain and have seen many different specialists and gone to the emergency room many times but still cannot solve the problem. She never guarantees to cure any disease to patients, and always just says "give it a try", which makes patients who don't know her think that she has no confidence, but in fact this is a scientific attitude.
