Dear Fellow Student/Practitioner of Traditional Acupuncture,

Would You Like to Refine Your Skills in the 'Art of Acupuncture' and Increase Your Prosperity from Your Clinical Practice ?

Do you believe that we practice one of the most powerful natural medicines in existence on the planet today?

Do you want to see many more people benefit as a direct result of your treatments?

Do you think our profession should be a truly prosperous one?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions please read on, we have common ground.

If you answered no to any of the above questions please allow me the opportunity to persuade you otherwise.

The limited awareness and understanding of the scope, power and flexibility of 'Traditional Acupuncture' both within and without the profession is the greatest challenge we face today.

Clinical efficacy using this ancient medicine is extremely dependent on the skill of the practitioner and many of the limitations accorded our medicine are of our own making. As clinicians we need to take responsibility and be accountable for our results.

In too many cases mediocre clinical outcomes are blamed on the medicine and we assume that Traditional Acupuncture is ineffective in a particular circumstance even if it was sufficiently effective for someone to record it as such 1,000's of years ago, the medicine being somehow at fault and therefore ineffective because the practitioner is unable to achieve the prescribed results.

When research programs that rely on practitioners of limited experience including medical professionals from allied modalities, declare that this or that treatment or point is ineffective the results can be fundamentally flawed due to variation in practitioner skill levels, no fault is found nor is any responsibility taken and once again clinical inadequacies are accorded to the medicine not the hand that feeds it.

THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO THE CLINICAL PRACTICE OF REFINED TRADITIONAL ACUPUNCTURE AND WILL EVENTUALLY BE AN AUDIO VISUALLY BIASED EDUCATIONAL, RESOURCE AND NETWORKING HUB FOR STUDENTS AND PRACTITIONERS WANTING TO 'EXPLORE THE ART OF ACUPUNCTURE IN THE 21ST CENTURY'.

WORLDACUPUNCTURE IS MOST DEFINITELY A WORK IN PROGRESS AND AS SUCH PLEASE EXCUSE IT'S INCOMPLETENESS.............

Thanks for your patience and understanding, Alan
