Oppose PT by needling
 

Support for Oppose PT by Needing

Honorable Congressman/Congresswoman

I am the member of American Association of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.  

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, the Ancient Traditional Medicne, It has thousands or years history. People studies it had to follow the Tacher or Master at least 5 years and then they could treat for patients in the ancient time.  Nowardays, people studied Acupuncture in China, they need to pass the exam and into school, 4 years study and training is necessary, when they graduated from school, they still need to take excam and get license, and need going to hospital traning at least one year, then they can treat for patients, just like Western doctor training, they have to study TCM theory and get clinic training.  So If you let some people didn't get any TCM study and clinic training to treat for patients, that will be very dangerous and harmful patients.

Anybody wants to be an Acupunctuist, they should go to school and get training, and then they can take exam to getting license, that is very fair for them.   

We look forward to working with you to oppose PT by needing.  

Sincerely Yours,
