Week 6 - Chinese Medicine Gaining Respectability in the West

It's an interesting paradigm that in order to gain respectability, Acupuncture must be given the stamp of approval by Western Medicine, or so some people think. Will it be that the very thing that is failing to help so many Americans is the same thing that will grant approval for their path to whole health.

The Doctor's language in this article was tellingly defensive. If these Doctor's went into the field of medicine to help people get healthy, then why would they so quickly discredit Acupuncture with it's thousands of years of researched study? 

The reason I see, is they might feel threatened. One can only have so many patients seek alternative healing methods before they must realize that their way is not the only way.

I think that Jill said it best..."Western Medicine is excellent at Traumatology."
