Professor Tani was born
in Miyazaki Prefecture on December 11, 1937. Since completing his graduate
studies at Nagasaki University School of Medicine in 1963, Professor Michio
Tani has been practicing and researching Prime Natural Medicine from the
Western medical perspective and is actively contributing to the treatment of
pediatric AIDS patients in Romania.
In April 1969, Tani joined Manaka
Hospital as Chief Internist. He received training in acupuncture, seeing it as
a way to manage pain. Tani applied acupuncture to a 10-year-old boy for his
appendix surgery, the first known acupuncture anesthesia in Japan. Having
proved the effectiveness of acupuncture, Tani began expanding his Oriental
medical research, studying herbal medicine and other therapies. He visited
India three times from 1968, and also China more than 30 times since 1979 as
part of his research on Prime Natural Medicine.
Dr. Tani's lifetime
objective is to help deepen understanding worldwide about Prime Natural
Medicine and use it, in parallel with Western medicine, to treat patients.
Besides his clinical practice at the Tani Clinic in central Tokyo, Dr. Tani
has been tireless in explaining the synergies of the two disparate
methodologies at Japanese and international medical meetings.
Since
1973, Dr. Tani has held annual seminars on Oriental medicine under the
auspices of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Foundation for Promotion of
Oriental Medications. Since its inception in 1982, he has also been active in
the research and educational activities of the Japan Eastern Medical Institute
which has a membership of 800 doctors.
