About the author
Dr Joseph Cheung was raised in Hong Kong, amidst a family with a proud medical history. His father, an ENT professor at Sun Yat Sen University in Canton, China, impressed upon all his children the virtues being a hard-working community-minded professional. Dr Cheung’s older brother Nelson became one of the most popular dental surgeons in Sydney. His younger brother Stanley was renowned as one of the top neurosurgeons in Hong Kong.
In 1960 Dr Cheung graduated from the University of Sydney. He soon moved back to Hong Kong, where he served in the Kwong Wah charity hospital. He was forced to flee to Canada with his family during the notorious riot of 1969. In Canada he studied pathology under Professor D. Magner, the head of the Canadian Tumour Registry, at the University of Ottawa. Joseph participated in research into renal transplants and ovarian cancer, and in publications on those topics.
After his return to Australia Dr Cheung began to explore the therapeutic benefits of oriental medical practices such as Tai Chi and acupuncture, of which he had become a practitioner. He has since fervently promoted these aids to health to his patients, with excellent results, as published in his article in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine in 1985. After over four decades of experience in clinical practice, research and observation, Dr Cheung decided to put this wealth of knowledge and practical wisdom into a book: Dr Joseph Cheung’s Total Health and Fitness Revolution.
