Minh Vu's Background

As a Molecular Biologist with a Bachelor of Science degree from Portland State University, Minh joined the Immunology and Neuro-Physiology research team at Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine.  He specialized in Immunology and neurotransmitter research in relation to Parkinson's Disease, and was published numerous times in various Journals of Medicine.

During his pursuit of an MD/PhD medical research degree, a personal injury led him to experience the profound healing effects of Acupuncture.  Further examination of the East Asian Medicine field impressed him so much, he transferred his studies to the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.  

"As an Asian man, it is ironic that I discovered the study of Acupuncture through my work in Western Medicine.  I have now come full circle -- I am treating patients as did some of my distant relatives in Vietnam."

However, Minh acknowledges that he has not traveled far from his original path,

"By opening up the body's own neurotransmitter pathways (i.e. the Acupuncture meridians), we stimulate the body's ability to heal itself)."

After completing the Oriental Medicine program in 1999, Minh relocated to Washington's wine valley to help the under served population of Southeastern Washington.  There, the Catherine Street Clinic was born, and to this day the clinic continues to help thousands of people improve their health naturally.
