Traditional Chinese Medicine versus Allopathic Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been around since the days of the Chinese emperors and has remained its' popularity since. Its' focus is health maintenance and longevity. TCM is able solve simple or complex problems and can help restore person's health with acupuncture and herbs. There are no side effects. Western (allopathic) medicine, on the other hand, is best used for treatment of traumas and infectious diseases (for health emergencies). This form of medicine is inferior when used for health maintenance and treatment of chronic diseases. All pharmaceutical drugs have moderate to severe side effects and tend to undermine person's health in a long run.

Choosing an Acupuncturist: When choosing an acupuncturist, make sure you pick one with official, traditional training (in some states such as Arizona, chiropractors, naturopaths, MDs can do acupuncture only with 200 hours of acupuncture accelerated training; In California, acupuncture is not included in the scope of practice of chiropractors and naturopaths unless they undergo 3,000-4,000 hour training like all acupuncturists)---go to your State Acupuncture Board for a list of qualified acupuncture practitioners.
