A quick answer is, it's about our health.
The better our understanding of acupuncture and the more we use acupuncture, the better our health and the lower the cost of our healthcare. It seems that acupuncture even leads to healthier healthcare. Acupuncture has many uses in care and cure. To begin with it is a safer and usually a less expensive way to handle pain than are drugs.
We can learn more about acupuncture and we ought to. We are doing so right now! good for us. Helping one another to learn can make the learning easier and the benefits to come sooner. You can participate in that help by sharing some of your thoughts on the topic in the "comments" section below.
In the U.S some helpful co-operation has begun. But it is not common yet. In fact there is some active resistance from officials and professionals. There is also a lot of what we might call passive resistance from many officials and professionals.
The French, Russians, Chinese, and others have experienced more use of Acupuncture than have most of us in the Americas. They are benefiting from that use now. For a time the communist autocracy resisted acupuncture as much as any of us. However, the China of today has been enjoying the benefits of acupuncture once again. Western style doctors there and including those practicing acupuncture are co-operating so that many Chinese are getting better healthcare at more affordable prices.
In the U.S. about 20% of the costs to the individual for many surgical procedures go to the anesthesiologist for his work and the use of his life saving equipment. As we learn more about acupuncture, its safety, its shortening of hospital stays, and its chances for lowering insurance rates, the more interesting it gets.
To me, what is more interesting yet is the way it simple stops the pain of most surgery in ways most common among us. That interest is augmented as we look into the effective ways acupuncture successfully treats, heals, and cures in situations in which our care is much less successful.
There is that which we can do to improve our health. We can take better care of ourselves just by actually doing that which can do to take care of ourselves. We can also learn more about acupuncture and its use in our country. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about it. We can use the internet to learn much about it. We can ask friend and family what they have heard about it, or if they have experienced it. You might find an organization interested it and learn more about them and more about acupuncture through them. You could tells a bit about what you find out via our ''comment'' section. Sharing information and be empowering.
I hope to share more about acupuncture with you right here.
Thank you for reading.
