Susan Johnson, L.Ac., has been studying and practicing acupuncture since 1982, and is an esteemed teacher of Master Tung’s Magic Points, a potent system of acupuncture handed down as a treasured family secret for generations and made public by Master Tung Ching Chang. Susan graduated from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, CA, in 1984. By then, she’d begun an internship with Dr. Miriam Lee, whose influence was life changing for Susan. Susan became Dr. Lee’s primary student and trained extensively with her for many years. Together they travelled to Hefei, China, to study bleeding techniques with Dr. Wang Su-Jen. Susan studied Master Tung’s Magic Points with both Dr. Lee and Dr. Wei-Chieh Young. During the 1980s Susan also worked with Dr. Lee, lobbyist Art Krause, and elected officials to pass legislation expanding the scope of acupuncture in California.
Each acupuncture point in Master Tung’s system is presented in depth, with precise anatomical location, operative theory, indications, combination, and case studies. Susan practiced acupuncture in San Francisco until 1988, specializing in the treatment of HIV and AIDS. Through this experience she learned about opportunistic diseases and how to treat difficult and complex disorders such as Kaposi’s sarcoma, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Candida, cancer, and the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Since 1988, Susan has maintained an acupuncture practice in Santa Cruz, California. She specializes in difficult and challenging cases, and in helping those with special needs to receive quality health care. Throughout her career Susan has relied extensively on Master Tung’s Magic Points, and she has been teaching classes on Tung’s Magic Points since 1985. Susan’s passion for Tung’s Points and her desire to share this remarkable system with other practitioners has inspired her to teach seminars and guest lectures worldwide, write articles and produce tutorial DVDs on Master Tung’s Points and the ancient art of cupping. Susan is continuing to work on innovative ways to share Master Tung’s Magic Points with a global audience, making this incredible system available to as many people as possible.
