On October 14, 2007, Dr. Wei-Chieh Young was invited to give a one-day lecture on “Commonly used Tung’s Acupuncture points” in Phoenix, AZ. While having lunch with the president of Arizona acupuncture board and other Chinese medical doctors, the topic of “medical insurance issues” was discussed.
The lecture was given in Chinese because Arizona State only has 30 + Chinese acupuncturists, and 20 + practitioners were present at the lecture. After the demonstration of Tung’s Acupuncture technique, the practitioners thought this was the most practical lecture they have attended.
From mid-August to September 2007, went to central Asia -Kyrgystan for volunteer clinic treatments for the locals. Daily patients load were about 60 with great results. Former Soviet students of Dr.Young were there to assist in translating Russian and to help stimulating and removing needles. After a hard day of clinic work, Dr. Young also gave lectures to the local practitioners on Tung’s Acupuncture so they can continue to help patients in the future.

The two-day seminar was from eight to twelve in the morning and one thirty to five thirty in the afternoon for both days. The seminar on 10/22 was in Chinese and 10/23 in English. Since most of the participants had some knowledge of Tung’s acupuncture, the seminar was focused on intermediate to advanced level, but which only minimum Yi-Jing theory was referred (advanced level will cover more). The contents included epistemology, ontology, and methodology, and which intersecting with the philosophy of time, space and wholeness of the theory of Tien Ren He Yi (theory that man is integral part of nature.) Dr. Young first introduced the uniqueness of Tung’s acupuncture, the nomenclatural principles, and the relationship between it and the Fourteen Channels. Next, Dr. Young stated and analyzed the theory and application techniques of Tung’s acupuncture such as Quan Xi (Microsystem), Dui Ying (Correspondences), Ti Ying (Body Correspondences), and Zhang Fu Bei Tong (Zang Fu Extra Relationship Theory). He also supplemented a great number of photos, pictures, and video clips and case studies by using PowerPoint. At the end of the lecture, Dr. Young demonstrated point locations and proofed their therapeutic effectiveness by needling on the audience. The audience gave lots of applauds during the lecture. Even after that, they continued to show their enthusiasms about the course and wished the lecture was not ended yet. Many participants waited to take pictures with Dr. Young after the lecture and all agreed the seminar was exceptionally helpful. Some thought the seminar increased ten years of their practice experience. Some expressed it was the best seminar they have ever had. Some sent appreciation notes to Dr. Young. Receiving so much strong feedback, Dr. Young was very touched, too.
2005 On March 5th and 6th, Dr. Young lectured on "Treatment of Pain with Master Tung's Acupuncture" to doctoral students at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, Portland. Other than the unique applications of Master Tung's Acupuncture on pain treatment, Dr. Young also explained the principles and the reasons behind their effectiveness. He led treatment demonstrations on more than 30 cases. The students all expressed that they greatly benefited from the class.
2005 In late February, Dr. Young lectured on "Master Tung's Acupuncture: Theoretical Principles and Expanded Applications".

2004 In October, Dr. Young was invited to speak on the topics of the "Top Ten Acupuncture Points of the 14 Meridians" and the "Top Ten Master Tung's Points" at American Liberty University (ALU) of Los Angeles. He also covered a sub-topic of "Treatment of Pain with a Single Point", introducing the treatment of many diseases using a single Master Tung's point. The seminar was attended by 180 audience members. According to Mr. Kim, the Vice President of ALU, Dr. Young's seminar set the record where none of the audience left early or complained.
2004 In May, Dr. Young was invited by Chicago's Asian American Acupuncture Association to lecture on "Dr. Tung's Most Useful Special Points", and "Yi Jing Theory and Acupuncture"
2003 In September, Dr. Young presented his article "Yi-Jing and the Directions and Circulations of Meridians'" at the California Acupuncture Medical Association. This article explains the positions, directions, and sequences of meridians with the theory of Yi-Jing. It also covered "Zhang Fu Bei Tong", a core theoretical principle of Master Tung's Acupuncture, and its relationship with Yi-Jing.
2003 In August, Dr. Young presented his article "Body Tissue Corresponding Needling Method: Theoretical Principles and Applications" at the California Acupuncture Medical Association. The article covered the origins of Body Tissue Corresponding Needling Method and Nai Jing's needling Methods. Treating body tissue problems with corresponding tissue needling methods (as stated in the previous paragraph). Treating organ problems with corresponding tissue needling methods (needling close to skin is to treat Lung problems; needling close to muscle is to treat Spleen problems; needling close to vessel is to treat Heart problems; needling close to tendon is to treat Liver problems; and needling close to bone is to treat Kidney problems). Those needling methods are applied not only to Master Tung's Acupuncture, but also to the orthodox acupuncture system (the 14 meridians).
1999 As the Chairman of the Chinese Medical Theory Association of R.O.C., Dr. Young hosted "The First National Symposium on Master Tung's Acupuncture", which attracted more than four hundred attendants. More than thirty attendants presented their research and experience on Master Tung's Acupuncture. Those presentations has been compiled and published into a special edition journal. Dr. Young presented an article about applying the theories he developed from Nei Jing and his clinical experience to Master Tung's Acupuncture. The key contents are as follows.
(1) Applying the theory of six meridians' opening, closing, and pivot to Zhang Fu Bei Tong. Taiyang and Taiyin are opening; Shaoyang and Shaoyin are pivot; Yangming and Jueyin are closing.
(2) Body Tissue Correspondence Needling Method: Bone to Bone (needling close to bone treat bone problem); Tendon to Tendon; Vessel to Vessel; Muscle to Muscle; Skin to Skin.
(3) The relationship between Master Tung's Acupuncture and the 14 orthodox meridians (traditional acupuncture). The area between two meridians could be used to treat a disease related to both meridians; point between two orthodox points will have similar effect.
1987-1988 From September 1987 to September 1988, Dr. Young taught Chinese Medicine at American Acupuncture Association in Palo Alto. The course covered Master Tung's Acupuncture and its point locations, needling methods, and treatments. He also made public of his new discoveries on the academic theories of Master Tung's Acupuncture. The course was lectured every two weeks. The attendants included Mariam Lee, Susan Johnson, Esther Su, Frank Chung, and Mason Shen, a former member of the California State Board of Acupuncture. Some of the contents are as follows.
(1) The importance of needle depth in Master Tung's Acupuncture. Needle depth critically affects the treatment effects and scopes.
(2) The importance of retaining needles. Generally speaking, needles are retained for 45 minutes in Master Tung's Acupuncture. Dr. Young referenced two passages from Ling Shu and concluded that it takes average 28 minutes and 48 seconds for energy to circle meridians. To make it round and to match the fast pace of modern life, needles are retained for 30 minutes in general, unless for chronic or special cases in which needles are retained for 45 minutes or longer.
(3) The importance of correspondences. There are 8 correspondences in Master Tung's Acupuncture.
(4) Master Tung's Acupuncture is in accord with Quan Xi (Bio-Holographic) Theory. It coincides with Dr. Zhang Ying Qing's 2nd metacarpal bone diagnosis & therapy.
(5) Master Tung's Acupuncture is in accord with orthodox acupuncture (traditional acupuncture). This includes the application of point selection with "Following the Channel" (along its own meridian), "Biao Li Channel" (exterior/interior channel relationship), and "Tong Ming Channel" (hand and foot same channel name relationship).
