group description

[Guest guest]

When I started this e-group, I wanted it to be just as the welcoming

statement says...open to any questions or experiences that deal with

acupuncture. The only thing I have a problem with is when a person joins the

group just to try and sell something. It's not a place for advertisement, but

instead somewhere people can feel comfortable discussing all aspects of

acupuncture. I don't find the things that Sue and Debbie spoke about to be

uncalled for. Acupuncture covers a vast amount of illnesses and problems,

and women's issues are a part of it. I apologize if the subject matter is of

a sensitive topic to some, but speaking as a student and future

practitioner, I have learned to be prepared to hear all about the

patients~including rather in-depth discussion of their body functions and

fluids. It is important to understand all of the symptoms in order to

successfully treat the patient.

I hope this clears up any misunderstandings, and feel free to discuss these

things further with me if you feel the need.

Thanks

Lauren

<< this is what is on the acupuncture@ page on

, which could be why people feel like the discussion

is pretty open to any questions or concerns:

 

A place for all to share their their acupuncture

experience,questions and opinions. Open to practicioners,

patients,students and interested persons. Feel free to

join in!

 

i believe they WERE talking about TCM, and a condition Debbie was asking

about. and i believe Sue mentioned something about not using tampons in

reference to debbies condition. i have been told the same thing by

acupunctuists, to avoid tampons. If you have a personal problem with

someones post, you too can e-mail them privately rather than disrespect

everyone by posting insults publicly. what does insulting people have to do

with acupuncture? womens physical issues are a part of the human body, and

the human body is something that is treated by acupuncture. why didnt you

get offended when someone posted about a point between thier scrotum and

anus? thats pretty personal, yet when talking about medicine it should be

acceptable.

 

if there are strict guidlines for the subjects allowed, could the

administrator please post them so there is not a dispute?
