Question
Hello,  
First of all, thanks for providing yourself for questions.  I enjoy reading about alternative medicine and alternative health practices but I guess, being new to finding things on the internet, I have difficulty finding resources for reading about alternative health practices.  Can you direct me to a few websites that you would suggest for learning more and/or keeping up with the latest information?  I'd love to read more about it all.

Answer
Hi Richard,
I can give you some good TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) websites.  The National Institute of health is also a good resource http://nccam.nih.gov/health/acupuncture/  
Acupuncture.com, Gancao.net, acufinder.com, acupuncturetoday.com, yinyanghouse.com, There are some great groups on yahoo that discuss alternative medicine. Hope this helps.
