Re: Step by step to using Pali resources

Hi Tadao,

> P.S. Have you started your Chinese treatment yet?

Yes I have. I started my three months of acupuncture treatments at a Chinese
clinic in Toronto two months ago on Apr. 13. Just went for my 27th treatment
this morning and will keep going until my 40th treatment on July 13 at which
time I will leave Toronto and head back to Orillia and my cottage. I may
resume the treatments again next year. I'm also taking Chinese herbal
medicine which I can continue on with after leaving the city. I can't say
that there have been some definite improvements so far. I think I will have
a better idea later on. Sometimes I think I sense some improvement but I'm
not sure. For example, I think I may be hearing sounds in a slightly higher
frequency than before. Last Saturday, I was sitting in the waiting room of
the clinic when I distantly heard something like a temple bell coming from
upstairs. It kind of surprised me as the sound of a reverberating metal bell
is something that I don't normally hear very well -- especially in the
higher frequency range. A sure sign of improvement in my hearing would be to
hear the birds chirping and the kettle whistling both of which I could hear
back in the early 80s. I haven't seen much happening with my eyesight so
far. The Chinese doctor told me that because I've had this disease for such
a long time (45-50 years) the treatments would be long-term and any
improvement would come slowly. So I guess I just have to be patient.

Best wishes,
Jim
