One other thing;be sure and ask if he uses disposable needles or disinfects

them. Hopefully you can tell if he or she is telling the truth.

Hi. I'm Delkle. I am going to an excellent female

Acupuncturist for the hormonal changes in my body.

Being that I am peri-menopausal, I have a dire need to

be treated with as litle help from synthetic hormones

and a lot of prescription drugs. I am going through a

natural stage of a womans change, and I am getting

relief from using a natural approach such as

acupuncture and herbals. I like the calm approach that

my Dr. uses. I do not feel anything but great since my

2 last visits. This is my first time seeing an

acupuncturist, and I am confident that I have made a

wise choice. If any one can give me some

pointers,(oops!no pun intended), I would love to hear

from you. I am 44 years old.

Seems like you've got the right idea. I don't have anything to add, but

perhaps I could ask a question. Could I use this note to upload to the

treatment testimonial pages at acupuncture.com? We can change your name

and e-mail address... or not. Its up to you.

 

Congratulations on your smooth transition.

Good day to you all!!! My name is Cheryl Campbell and

I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. My husband

(veterinarian) and I are starting a veterinary

hospital very soon in Vancouver, WA.

 

I am starting to get interested in alternative

medicine for not only pets but for people too. I will

probably be the quietest person on the list because I

like to listen to what others have to say. I am also

trying to get my mother interested in going to an

acupuncturist instead of a chiropractor for her

problems.

 

Thank you,

Cheryl Campbell, LVT

Vancouver, WA

Dear Lauren:

 

Thanks for your E-mail very much. I'm glad to have joined the acupuncture

list.

 

Please let me introdcue myself.

 

One friend of mine is an acupuncturist. and I learned a little from him. and

I love acupuncture very much.

 

I have worked in a factory in Suzhou,for one year or so, which produce and

sell the acupuncture needle and moxa products all over the world.

 

there are silver handle needle, copper handle needle, pure moxa and so on.

 

now the acupuncture is more and more popular in the world. and acupuncture

is wonderful.

 

 

I want to improve the acupuncture needle and moxa for the Dr. and the

patients.

 

 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

 

With Best Regards,

 

Goodman Gu

Hi,

I'm Dave St.Thomas. I live in Boulder, CO.

 

Most of my experience with acupuncture comes from receiveing treatments

for neck and shoulder dysfunction.

 

I am currently seeing a chiropracter in Longmont that uses acupuncture

combined with homeopathics and the activator method to treat allergies.

His success rate is supposed to be very very good.

 

I have studied ColorPuncture in Boulder and also under Peter Mandel.

Although it does not use needles, it uses light introduced in specific

color frequencies and specific patterns/sequences to introduce

treatments.

 

I am thereby always interested in the various systems of treatments that

recognize the chi meridians.

Would this be similar to NAET? (NAET doesn't use homeopathics, and

I'm not sure what an activator method is...so I could be way off

the mark here!)

 

> I have studied ColorPuncture in Boulder and also under Peter Mandel.

 

I'd love to hear more about ColorPuncture. I've got a book on it,

and it looks wonderful, but I haven't " talked " to anyone who has any

first hand experience with it. Anything that you could share would

be interesting!

Hi Lauren,

 

thanks for the welcome. I d on behalf of my wife Mary

(I being the one who can handle the computer!). She has suffered

from PMR for many years and as that has waned, so an arthritic

condition emerged. She is troubled by a bursitis at a hip and,

because of the consequently somewhat distorted gait, a tendency

to swell at the right knee. Physiotherapy has been supportive

but there has been much talk of the potential for acupuncture

in cases like this. Mary has already had three steroid injections

and, as she is still taking prednisolone at 5mg/day for the PMR,

is reluctant to have any more. Rheumatologists appear to be

very limited in what they can do in these circumstances.

 

Hence my search for an acupuncture email list and the recommendation

from owner-graffis-l.

 

I am 73 BTW, and my wife is 68. We are both quite fit for our

age but the relative immobility imposed by the bursitis has

kept us at home instead of roaming the world in my retirement.

 

I had planned to take Mary to the many many places I had had

to visit in 35 years of air travel and we both enjoyed about

5 years ofd that before the PMR struck in 1994.

 

We live just south of the centre of London, England with a

fair sized house and a fair sized garden. At the moment we

are in a fair sized mess as decorators are on site repairing

the ravages of time. We wish there were decorators who

could do that for us and the hope is that from this list we

will form a view of what acupuncture might offer.

 

The annual register of UK practioners published by the British

Acupuncture Council is due out at the end of this month and

we hope to locate someone reasonably close to home.

 

regards

Hello, so I am supposed to tell something about myself.

I am a 56 year old married (still, surprisingly after 34 years) mother of

two grown kids and grandmother of one. Grew up in the Netherlands, came to

Canada in 1969 and to the Kootenay area of B.C. a year later. Living in

this beautiful area is a large part of what my life is all about. I

practice reflexology and reiki, (part time) and have had some experiences

with acupuncture. Our town is blessed with an excellent TCM.

I had some very heavy menstrual bleeding a few years ago during the

menopausal transition. I had actually become quite anemic. My MD wanted to

do scary stuff with biopsies which involved time consuming trips to larger

centres. I went to see the TCM instead. She interviewed me for half an

hour first, said something about the spleen being weak, and the spleen holds

the blood in the channels, and proceeded to fix my problem in a few pleasant

sessions. I never had the heavy bleeding again. I go back occasionally just

to stay in balance. I also have a friend who does jin shin do acupressure,

we trade sessions. If I go for more than 4 weeks without some form of body

work I start to feel unbalanced.

I hate seeing women lose important parts of their body when there is a time

proven method that should at least be tried first!! It infuriates me that

an ancient tradition is

considered " alternative " and a very young untried paradigm is considered

traditional.

HI everyone. My name is Josie. I have just completed (school-wise anyway)

Acupuncture & Herbs studies at the Academy of CHinese CUlture & Health

Sciences in Oakland Ca. I am currently in the process of licensure. I took

part of the California State board last week. I am also scheduled to take

National exam soon.

It is wonderful to see the amazing things acupuncture and herbs can do to

help people.

Hello,

My name is R. Scott Malone. I am an acupuncture physician, (actually we're

using Doctor of Oriental Medicine here in Florida), working in Zephyrhills,

FL.

I've been looking for a good forum for a while now, and I hope this is it.

It would be good to trade treatment strategies with fellow practitioners, and

just update each other on what we have come across that works well.

Here's to your health!
