Truly I believe we have chosen a difficult path.

Scott and Janine for such thought out and helpful responses. I appreciate being 'shored up' by your words of encouragement. On the comments made by R. Scott about Chiropractors having the same training as MD's, I want to say that I also have had a lot of science; microbiology, anatomy and physiology, 2 years of chemistry including organic, neurology, pathology, biology, etc. Too bad I can't call myself a doctor! It would probably help. I have respect for all complementary modalities and I have referred patients to chiropractors many times. I also go to chiros when I need to. If someone needs to go to the emergency room or to get antibiotics, then I say so. My problem was just with the way the other practitioners around here want to phase us out instead of working in conjuction with us. When I was in China doing an internship, the physicians and the acupuncturists worked hand in hand and they both earned equal respect. No one touted their methods as better than the other. We have a new center here in Rockford, Illinois that teaches the Dean Ornish program for heart disease. They give other classes on various modes of alternative healing, and they were even looking to hire an acupuncturist. I called them about it and they turned me down flat. They said they only wanted an acupuncturist that was an MD or a chiropractor because they wanted insurance to cover it. Very depressing.
