From the Editor:

 

Happy week end all and hope you had a fantastic week and are looking forward to an even better weekend.

 

I'm a little nervous about putting in one of these stories up there.  I read the news story and thought that it's just living proof that troglodytes know how to put words to paper.  Some people will not step out of their comfort cocoons for anything.  But that doesn't stop them from throwing stones at the rest of us walking around enjoying the sun.  But if that's the worst kind of ogre to shoot down, then the world isn't that bad.

 

Any takers on this particular monster?  Let me know if you get anywhere.

 

Have a good weekend everyone and we'll see you next week with more.

 

Cheers,

"In spite of your fear, do what you have to do."
~ Chin-Ning Chu

Greetings Dear Ones,

Becoming a successful acupuncturist does not happen overnight.

It is a step-by-step process that must be attended to gently, carefully, consistently and with support.

If you are just starting out, things may look a little overwhelming. What should I do? Where should I start? How is this all going to work?

I know some who are bi-vocational acupuncturists.  They have an unrelated job and do acupuncture on the side.  While some feel they must do this, I would suggest that you work at becoming an associate of someone else instead.  This way, you are doing what you trained to do and keeping your hand in it is essential for future development.

School only prepared you to work with patients/clients but not how to start, run, maintain and build a successful practice.  In most cases, those lessons are learned the hard way.

This is why I created the Acupreneur - to make sure that the information needed to start a practice, build a practice and maintain a practice would available.

Then, over the many years of the Acupreneur's existence, I realized that support was also necessary and that is why we added the support forums - a place where you can get your questions answered.

Ask yourself, do you need information?

Do you need support?

If you do then join the Acupreneur today and get what you need to succeed!

And if you are already a member of The Acupreneur, we invite you to join our Advanced Acupreneur MasterMind Support Group.  Click here for more information.

* Our guarantee is to provide you with information and support - you are responsible for your own results!

The very best to your success,

Dr. E

Quotes to Inspire

"As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment
of your goals and dreams, you must realize that
not every action will be perfect.
Not every action will produce the desired result.
Not every action will work.
Making mistakes, getting it almost right,
and experimenting to see what happens are
all part of the process of eventually getting it right."
~ Jack Canfield



"If you don't act now while it's fresh in your mind,
it will probably join the list of things you were always
going to do but never quite got around to.
Chances are you'll also miss some opportunities."
~ Paul Clitheroe



"You've got to seize the opportunity if it is presented to you."
~ Clive Davis



"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."
~ Walt Disney

  News of Interest!    
 

  Acupuncture Clinical Trial a Boon for Women Experiencing Fertility Challenges - Getting pregnant with her first child was difficult, and when Rebecca Killmeyer of Charlottesville, Va. experienced a miscarriage during her second pregnancy, she wasn't sure if she would ever have another baby. She decided to enter a study testing the impact of acupuncture on women with polycystic ovary syndrome at the University of Virginia Health System, and came out with a miracle.  "To our great surprise, we were blessed with a third pregnancy during the PCOS study," said Killmeyer. "I'm absolutely certain the acupuncture treatments helped me ovulate regularly, which allowed me to become pregnant."



  Students travel to China to learn about traditional medicine - A group of UConn students traveled across the globe this summer to learn about medical practices that have existed for thousands of years. Seven students from the School of Pharmacy and six from other academic disciplines spent five weeks in Beijing, China studying traditional Chinese medicine. They took field trips to herb farms and pharmaceutical groups, watched acupuncture performed on patients, and studied Mandarin. They also visited hospitals that prescribe herbal medicine and the factories that produce it. "It was an amazing experience," says Grzegorz Rdzak, who is in UConn's Pharm.D. program. "I never would have done something like this on my own. I learned a lot about the culture and many aspects of herbal medicine."



  Fighting Cancer On All Fronts - For many patients the diagnosis of cancer can be physically devastating with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.  But for some, the disease takes even a larger toll. The psychological stress can put a strain on families and friends, even finances. But, one local cancer center is aggressively treating those other aspects of cancer care.  Nori Pomphrey is not taking her breast cancer lying down; she's using acupuncture to beat the disease.


 
  Wasting tax money on superstition - Tucked away in the recently-enacted county budget is $20,000 for acupuncture to be used in the treatment of drug addiction.  This amount is small potatoes to the County Council, but not to this ordinary taxpayer. That $20,000 is about five times my property tax bill. And every dime of it is a total waste. Acupuncture is a relic of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is based on two provably false ideas.



  Cranberries -- A Newly Discovered Herbal Medicine - Perhaps all herbal medicines we know of today have weird or exotic names. Except for Garlic and Ginger -- which are probably the most common herbal medicines -- sound close to being herbal sources. But would you every think that a name such as Cranberries could become an herbal drug too? Probably not.  The world was at extreme awe when it first discovered Cranberry as a potent cure to many forms of illnesses. It does not only serve as a cure, but a preventive herbal treatment as well. Because of the taste and the popularity of Cranberry, it wasn't really hard putting it on the market because people instantly knew that it is not only safe to use but a tasteful herb as well.
