Damon P. Miller II, M.D., N.D. was born and raised in Columbus Ohio. He attended Yale University, graduating with a bachelor of architecture degree in the class of 1976 before attending medical school at the University of Cincinnati. He has been a physician in the Western medical tradition since 1985. He began his post graduate studies in internal medicine in Cincinnati and then proceeded to a post graduate program in diagnostic radiology at UCLA which he completed in 1990. He went on to do additional fellowship training in Interventional Radiology/Minimally Invasive Surgery at the University of California, Irvine, a program directed by Larry Stuart-Deutsch M.D. and eventually joined the radiology department in El Camino hospital in Mountain View, California. As Doctor Miller watched the art of medicine become the business of medicine he decided that it was time to pursue a dream he had long held. Taking an eighteen month leave of absence he studied acupuncture and herbal medicine intensively and is now in private practice specializing in traditional acupuncture and pediatric acupuncture at his office in Los Altos, CA. His studies continued under the tutelage of Khosrow Khalighi, M.Ac.,C.A., a student and protege of Professor J.R. Worsley. Having completed a three year course of study, Dr. Miller now specializes in the system of Classical Five Element Acupuncture perfected by Professor Worsley. Following a long interest in pediatrics, Dr. Miller also worked for a year with Julian Scott, the world's expert in Pediatric Acupuncture, and sees infants and children as well as adults in his Los Altos office. Dr. Miller received certification as a Naturopathic Physician in 1999, based on his extensive training and experience in allopathic medicine as well as acupuncture. Paralleling his interest in acupuncture has been Doctor Miller's long interest in the work of a Swedish radiologist Bjorn Nordenstrom, M.D. and his work Biological Closed Electric Circuits. Doctor Miller has followed these interests into an additional area of speciality involving the treatment of Macular Degeneration and other retinal diseases using microcurrent stimulation. Doctor Miller has found that there is a strong synergy between the techniques of microcurrent stimulation and acupuncture which has proven particularly useful in the treatment of musculoskeletal disease, retinal disease, the treatment of chronic pain and the rehabilitation of neurological injuries as well as the treatment of allergies and disorders of the internal organs. Doctor Miller is involved with the International Association for Biologically Closed Electric Circuits In Biomedicine (IABC) and he believes that the seminal work and research by Doctor Nordenstrom on the understanding and manipulation of the naturally occurring electrical activities in the human body around the areas of disease and injury contain the seeds of a better understanding of why the ancient practice of acupuncture works.
