Open Letter Ad in Acupuncture Today

[Guest guest]

Hi Kath: My apologies as I was slowly re-entering the fray after a

much needed vacation...the ad made the deadline for the Oct issue

(the deadline for the Sept issue was July 16, before the controversy

even began with the ABORM Ad in the Aug 1 issue, unfortunately)

Sooo, sorry if that was unclear to anyone else. It went to print last

week for Oct 1. with the help of many. Looking forward to continuing

the dialogue so that we can find the most appropriate way to move

this debate forward as well. Best, Caroline
