Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi, all, am ap on an advisory committee for a new comp health magazine in our state (OR). First issue is coming up soon and I've been asked to write 250 words or so for AP. As I'm not the written/verbal genius, any suggestions would be wonderful, sites, etc. It's been stated that we can toot our own horn, but would rather direct more attention (something spiffy and oh wow) to TCM/AP than my practice. The mag is for our state, not just our little capitol town. If you want your name referenced no matter where you live, ie, so & so states: blah blah; I can happily do that. More is better! Thanks for your support on this endeavor, Pam Price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hi Pam! This is from a blurb I distribute, maybe you can use some of these ideas: Traditional is a comprehensive system of health care dating back to the stone ages. While ancient, this system is at the same time modern, having undergone extensive modern research and development by the mainland Chinese government since World War II. According to Dr. Edwin Yang Zong, this extensive modern research and development by the Chinese government came about in an interesting way. During a wilderness military campaign the man who would become " Chairman Mao " was suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, often abbreviated to the acronym ALS. ALS, commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neuromuscular condition characterized by weakness, muscle wasting, fasciculations (small, bundled clusters of nerve or muscle tissue) and increased reflexes. This disease generally kills its victim within five years, less than that in the wilderness without " modern " care. Recovery is nearly unheard of even today, especially unheard of sixty-five years ago. But Mao Zedong, treated with ancient herbal medicine and even more ancient acupuncture, not only lived, but lived an active life of cutting edge controversy well into his old age. Chairman Mao never forgot that the ancient medicine had " saved his life " . As head of state he ordered the spare-no-expense development of Traditional , which he called " China's National Treasure " . When President Richard Nixon normalized relations between the United States and The People's Republic of China in 1972 Traditional became a topic of Cultural Exchange and the professional practice of Traditional began in the United States. Florida has a model TCM practice law. There are three main treatment modalities of Traditional , acupuncture, herbal medicine and tui na. Acupuncture gets the most attention, though, perhaps because of its nearly immediate action on painful conditions. There is nothing like acupuncture for PAIN, so effective that many people think that pain is the only thing acupuncture is for, the fact is that acupuncture treatments are available to address the symptoms of most any condition a patient could have. Traditional herbal pills are convenient and pleasant to take. There is no troublesome preparation and no smelling up the house. I keep these pills for nearly every condition, the average price of these pills is only $14 per bottle. Tui na is Oriental Massage, similar in some respects to Western Massage and other forms of hands-on bodywork. I practice a gentle style based on the Traditional Meridians. If you have been ailing for some time and nothing and no one has helped you it is time for you to see me. Traditional , with or without needles, is the treatment of choice for many chronic diseases. Acupuncture without needles is " acupressure " . The National Institutes of Health, known for its conservatism, has nevertheless identified several situations where it acknowledges the effectiveness of Traditional in general and acupuncture in particular: " showing efficacy of acupuncture in adult postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in postoperative dental pain. " There are other situations such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma, in which acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program. " The Acupuncture Answer Book expands the list with " allergies, ankle swelling, arm and shoulder pain, attention deficit disorder, bed wetting, low or high blood pressure, bronchial conditions, bursitis, poor circulation, colds, colitis, spastic colon, constipation, chronic cough, depression, diarrhea, disk problems, diverticulitis, dizziness or vertigo, emphysema. chronic fatigue, cold feet, flu, gallbladder disorder, gas, gynecological dysfunction, hay fever, heart problem, hemorrhoids, hip pain, immune system deficiency, indigestion, infertility, auto, home, sports or work injuries, insomnia, joint pain, kidney problems, knee pain, leg pain, cramps, tingling or numbness, liver problems, neck stiffness or pain, nervousness, neuralgia, pain, pleurisy, prostate problems, rheumatism, sciatica, shingles, sinus trouble, skin problems, stomach problems, sore throat, thyroid conditions, stomach ulcers, urinary problems and whiplash. " There is usually no waiting at my office. If you are on time for your appointment I will see you right then. I do not " double book " . If you have insurance my services may be covered and if so you will get your money back from the insurance company. If you do not have insurance, call me anyway my rates are so low that you will pay less at my office than if you had insurance and went somewhere else. I also accept credit cards.

At any one time I have six articles on healing, five poems of an ungodly sort, four discussions on Spirit, three discourses on why the flowers speak, two diatribes on the lost tribes of Urthaka and one, well, an email I am writing as the one I am writing.
