About the Authors
Cheryl Chow has been a freelance writer, editor, and journalist for
more than 20 years, concentrating on health and social issues. She
has a diverse writing background, having written for magazines,
newspapers, webzines, and literary magazines. She and Dr. Chow
have coauthored a reference book on hepatitis and other liver
diseases.
Coming from a family with a long line of medical doctors, Chow has
always been fascinated by medicine and science. After obtaining a
BA in psychology from Reed College, she pursued her own studies
into the effects of mind over body, and vice versa. She has con-
quered her own bouts with hypoglycemia, fatigue, and other health
issues through attention to lifestyle and diet. She has studied T’ai
Chi, chi kung, ba gua, and meditation from some world-renowned
teachers, and has also taught T’ai Chi exercises for health.
James H. Chow, MD, is the founder, CEO, and medical director of
multispecialty clinics offering integrative medicine and diverse
treatment modalities located in New York, Westchester, Chicago,
Atlanta, and San Diego. Dr. Chow specializes in emergency and
family medicine. Before he went into private practice almost 20
years ago, he was the director of the emergency department at Mt.
Sinai Hospital in Chicago for seven years. As an emergency doctor
at one of the busiest hospitals in the U.S., he has encountered and
treated almost every imaginable type of illness and injury. Dr. Chow
is licensed to practice medicine in Illinois, Georgia, and New York.
In 1996, Dr. Chow helped set up an American-style clinic in Beijing.
Dr. Chow is a member of American Academy of Emergency Medicine,
American Academy of Physician Executives, American Academy of
Sports Medicine, American Academy of General Medicine, American
Academy of Family Practice, Nippon Industrial Medicine Association,
and American Japanese Physicians Association. Having too much
time on his hands, Dr. Chow is currently involved with various med-
ical projects. He’s known among his friends and associates for his
unbounded energy, personal warmth, and sense of humor — had
he not become a medical doctor, Dr. Chow could undoubtedly have
become a comedian.
