AB 3014

[Guest guest]

Here is a sample letter for those that are interested in supporting AB3014

 

 

 

Hon. Paul Koretz

 

State Capitol, Room 4140

 

Sacramento, CA 95814

 

 

 

RE: AB 3014 -- SUPPORT AS AMENDED

 

 

 

Dear Assemblyman Koretz:

 

 

 

I am writing on behalf of XXX in strong support of AB 3014 as amended.

[DESCRIBE WHAT XXX DOES - WHAT FUNCTION/PURPOSE XXX SERVES IN TERMS OF THE

ACUPUNCTURE COMMUNITY, BOTH FOR STUDENTS AND PRACTITIONERS AND CONSUMERS].

 

 

 

Existing law defines an acupuncturist's scope of practice using the phrase

" Asian massage, " a term some people find to be pejorative. AB 3014 as amended

alleviates this concern by deleting the words " Asian massage " from the existing

code and replacing it with just the term's definition, which will be codified

into law should this bill be signed into law. This definition was fully vetted

in the Assembly Business & Professions Committee on May 9, 2006.

 

 

 

Please note that the California Acupuncture Board voted unanimously to support

this bill at their May 23, 2006, meeting. This action strongly signals the

Board's approval of the definition of " Asian massage " as set forth in AB 3014,

and the fact that this bill does not enhance the Acupuncturist's scope of

practice, it merely clarifies it.

 

 

 

There are currently over 10,000 licensed acupuncturists in California, and they

provide a vital health care service to a large and diverse patient population.

Traditional Asian medicine is a vital and growing part of our contemporary

health care system, and its role in California should be preserved, enhanced and

fairly reimbursed in accordance with the legislature's original intent in

legalizing the practice as a primary health care profession.

 

 

 

For these reasons, XXX respectfully requests your support of AB 3014.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

XXXXXXXX

 

XXXX

 

 

 

 

Oakland, CA 94609

Re: Ingredients of FAHF-1 (Antiallergic formula)

 

 

from what i found out, there were a different set of formula that

used ku shen, huang qin and ling zhi...

i'll find a quote...

 

here it is:

 

Other particularly preferred inventive herbal compositions include at

least the herbs Huang Qing, Ku Sen, and Ling Zhi. In certain

preferred embodiments, these herbs are present in relative amounts

approximating 3:3:2 ratios. Alternatively or additionally, preferred

compositions may include one or more of Dong Gui and Ge Gen. Relative

amounts of these herbs, in certain particularly preferred

compositions, will approximate the levels of Huang Qing and/or Ku

Sen. Other preferred embodiments may further, or alternatively,

include Su Zi, preferably at a level approximating that of Huang Qing

and/or Ku Sen. One particularly preferred inventive herbal

formulation is MSSM-002 (see Table 3 and FIG. 13).
