Acupuncture and back pain in the news!

[Guest guest]

Public perception is one thing....quite different from what those who

control MDs are trying to do.

 

There is an MD with the identical name in another state and for some reason

I keep getting some of his very specific junk mail. The AAMA keeps pitching

to the general population of MDs as to how easy it is to get into acupuncture

with their course which the last I checked was 100 hrs live and about 200 hrs

home video. The quote paraphrased from the flyer....is " Isn't it time Doctor

to ADD acupuncture to your medical practice! " .

 

Acupuncture needs to have acceptance before the MDs can take it over totally.

 

MDs and other healthcare practitioners directly under MD supervision are

already being reimbursed while in the majority of reimbursement situations

acupuncturists are not.

 

As the cliche goes....be careful what you wish for....you just may get more

than you expected.

I think it's great news. Non-acupuncturist called me and said " did you

hear the great news about acupuncture " hear the great news about

views this study as good news for acupuncture. The only negativity or

dismissal I am hearing about it are coming from the usual skeptics and

uh L.Ac.'s.

Bottom line is ACUPUNCTURE works twice as good than standard medical care.
