[edit] Biography
Dr Singh was born into a respected family in Allahabad, India, on September 4th, 1945. His grandfather was a landlord and his father was a government Deputy Commissioner. Due to the transferable nature of his father’s job, his basic education was completed in various cities in north India. After graduating from Science in 1966, he was selected to join King George’s Medical College in Lucknow, India, and completed his M.B.B.S in 1971. He did his Internship in 1972 in Colvin Hospital, Allahabad, and was awarded "Best Doctor" for performing the most vasectomies in the shortest amount of time.
During his medical studies he became interested in acupuncture, and after reading an article in a 1968 issue of Reader’s Digest, learned the basics of acupuncture. His first formal instructor was a Lama who taught the ancient art of healing in a very traditional way. Upon graduation from medical school, Dr. Singh joined government service as a medical officer and worked with the World Health Organization during the small pox eradication program. In between, he visited several far east countries to learn more about acupuncture and integrated this into his private practice after resigning from government service in 1974.
He established the Indian Acupuncture Centre in 1981 and started devoting more time to acupuncture research. In 1983 he founded the International Institute of Acupuncture bringing many European and Asian acupuncturists together into one association. During a world acupuncture congress in Colombo, 1982, he released "Acupuncture Pulse Diagnosis". Later, during the European Acupuncture Symposium in Stockholm, he also released "Acuvaccination", his original work on the preventive aspect of acupuncture. His research paper on "Scleroderma" and "Waste-End Products" was highly appreciated at the 2nd National Symposium on Acupuncture, organised by the All China Society of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, held in Beijing in 1984. In 1985 his research paper "Acupuncture - It’s Origin in India" was judged "Best Paper" in the 4th World Congress on Oriental Medicine held in Kyoto, Japan.
