Re:Divisiveness int the Profession

" It is hard to imagine that students could receive a Master's degree

in medicine without even learning the difference between primary

sources and secondary sources of information. Hard to imagine that

they could earn a Master's degree studying a system largely created by

JR Worsley without ever learning that JR made it up himself. In most

places in the world, a Master's degree is something that has academic

credibility, very few people receive Master's degrees without ever

being exposed to primary sources of information in their field of

study. To me, it is unethical to teach someone that something comes

from the Chinese classics if it was in fact made up in England 60

years ago. Even an expert such as Lonny Jarrett freely acknowledges

that Worsley made it up himself. "

 

Eric, do you even read your own emails before you send them? The above

is an example of divisive speech, meant to inflame whole segments of

the acupuncture community. The above is accusatory, and NOT TRUE, just

like your descriptions of the Five Element tradition of practice

posted in your original email on this subject are NOT TRUE.

 

You seem to react rather than respond. Like Cara suggested, take a

breath. Might I also add: re-read your stuff before you post it, and

listen to how it might be received by readers.
