Tuina or other massage techniques I believe tui na is in the
realm of the massage profession. Massage therapists are the authority on
massage and body work. They are in control of their own continuing education
programs and they do not need to be accredited by or take the NCCAOM exams
to practice tui na, anma, shiatsu, etc. We (the political OM community)
are like dogs and have our noses where they don't belong.

I would like to encourage the acupuncture community to learn
about magnet therapy. I have used magnetic insoles (the good kind) for diabetic
neuropathy with remarkable results. I have seen toes with a purple tinge
turn back to a normal color much faster than with acupuncture alone. We
will be hearing of some remarkable studies soon. There is potential to help
save numerous limbs. Patients need to have valid information backed by studies
to help them decide if magnetic therapy is for them. Any questions please
feel free to contact me at regdag@saber.net

Tuina or other massage techniques Since New Mexico and Arkansas
DOMs Have perscriptive authority.
why dont you print articles dealing with the full scope or oriental Medicine.
If we dont show it is part of OM how can we advance Scopes of practice

Magnets or magnet therapy I don't use magnets. I have yet to
find any compelling evidence for their use.

Magnets or magnet therapy Professionally speaking, the correct
spelling is "acupuncturist" rather than "acupunctureist". This is in reference
to the paragraph addressing "...inappropriate or meaningless language."
