No, I don't belong to any association To think we can use this
anthrax scare as a way to be recognized is dispicable. Just one death of
a patient being treated with TCM would destroy our profession and make us
look like a bunch of fanatical KOOKS. We all no of them in the profession,
lets not make them mainstream. Anthrax is deadly and has a poor prognosis
in patients showing symptoms. This profession is not now nor will ever be
ready to treat this disease in the west. Western medicine is more equipt
to treat this one people. If this was China I would say,"sure go ahead ant
treat it with TCM, we don't have the antibiotics to treat it". BUT, here
in the west we have far better and accepted methods of treating this dangerous
pathogen. TCM is not a cure all nor is it always the treatment of choice
if you want someone to survive a deadly disease process.

Yes, both a state and national association Comments about Anthrax.
This is the time when our prefession will finally be recognized. Treatment
of this bio-hazard is very effective. Most important not to look at it as
Anthrax but to do your DOS, differentiate. This condition is what you would
call it an invasion of fire toxin in the body. Through my research, the
most effective way to treat this is move Qi and blood, Nourish the Spleen,
flush out toxins from the liver. The Liver will be greatly enlarged to indicate
the anthrax. The Liver will try to rid the toxins but gets overloaded. Then
I feel it is important to clear toxins from the blood level. Our medicine
combined with Western Medicine can greatly help 1000's of people. Find yourself
a way to get involved and lets start treating this, and it's not only going
to be anthrax it mostlikely will be worse.

No, I don't belong to any association There is no need for me
to belong. All it does is cost me money by adding overhead. I get nothing
in return.
