Hi.

Yes there are very common chinese formulas that are used routinely and

effectively in China, for energy plus the side fx such as leukopenia and

nausea.

Combined with acupuncture I have had some clinical success, so I encourage you

do seek out a chinese medicine practitioner.

good luck,

Skip R.ac.

Thanks, Skip,

So, If I were looking in the phone book for one of these doctors, what would be

the key word...?

Hi Carole,

Perhaps some of the acupuncturists on this list can give us the web

addresses of professional organizations they belong to who list

members.

 

Instead of the phone book I'd go to <NCCAOM.com>

 

They're responsible for testing acupuncturists in the USA and list on

their site who they feel are qualified.

 

Beyond that,

Run a search at <google.com> using every key word that pops into your

head.

(This is something I do when dealing with any medical adventure.)

 

If you live in or near a big city that has an acupuncture school,

another suggestion would be check and see if they have a referral

list.

Mention what's going on and ask if they know of anyone who specializes

in your adventure.

 

There are acupuncturists who basically have a master's degree and

there are DOMs (doctors of Oriental medicine) who have a higher level

of education.

Not all acupuncturists practice herbalism also.

 

It seems most acupuncture schools in the USA teach a Chinese form of

medicine based on 8 Principle Theory. There's also 5 Element theory.

Some schools teach both.

There's also Japanese, Korean, French and probably a whole assortment

of different cultural approaches to the craft.

 

What I'm getting at is,

if one acupuncturist doesn't seem to be helping you, perhaps that

acupuncturist doesn't know all that can be offered for a person with

your adventure.

Your loyalty is to whoever gives you positive results while

integrating with the Western medical path you choose.

With Asian medicine many things take time but how much time do you

have to spend.

 

There's also the AAMA. I have no personal experience with them but if

your family gives you a difficult time about acupuncture/herbalism

being too weird ... The AAMA people also have Western credentials.

Look under the general heading of Acupuncturists. If they

have information, then those whose credentials are show

behind their names as DOM or OMD. Many LAc/DipAc are also

herbalists who've been taught traditional diagnosis and

treatment. Some of the states which license acupuncture

require national certification by the NCAAOM (I think

that's right). If there's no information given, call the

office and get information on their background.
