Cheers all and I do hope you're
enjoying your Friday as you read this week's installment of the Community

I do enjoy my very bit part in
putting it together each week, but big props go to my good friend and web guru
Brenda for actually making it happen. So here's a big shout out to you
B! Thanks so much for being here beside me all these issues. I
couldn't do it without you.
And of course huge kudos to Dr. Eric

first through my work with the AOMAlliance and then as a friend and
colleague. I owe him a great debt of gratitude for helping me through some
bad times and cheering me on through good. Eric, thanks for being there
with me through all of it.
And to everyone else out there who

Greetings Dear Ones,
To market or not to market...that is the never a question...
Lately many of our readers have been emailing me with concerns about the
economy. Many are telling me that their client numbers are low and they
are concerned.
A dipping economy is only one factor and a small one at that as to why your
numbers might be down.
It is important to look at what is working in your marketing methods and what
may not...cut what is not working and keep investing your energies into what is
working.
More often then not the reason your numbers are down is because you are not
marketing and selling your services with the current context in mind.
The failing market on wall street is reflective of fear.
As Oriental Medicine professionals you know the huge impact fear has
on the body, mind and soul!
Treating people during this time is crucial to helping them weather the storm
of the current economic times while helping them to maintain their health and
wellness.
You must market, you must sell your service, you must be willing to be
visible in your community...but you must do all that you do to be visible in a
way that is consistent with your values...which may not be consistent with your
comfort zone.
Make sure that you are marketing and selling your services keeping the
current climate in mind.
People need your help....
Many blessings to your success,
Dr. E

News of Interest!
Man hit for acupuncture during city work hours - A Kawasaki
city government official received a written admonishment for treating his
colleagues with acupuncture during working hours for five years, it has been
learned. According to the Kawasaki city government, the man in his 50s was at
the level of section head at a construction center in Asao Ward, Kawasaki. He
obtained a license to perform acupuncture in April 2001 and treated his
colleagues over a five-year period until the end of 2007.
Acupuncture of the Ear Helps Substance Abuse Addicts - Region
10 trained several employees today on the practice of Auricular Acupuncture,
which is acupuncture to the ear. This technique helps people with substance
abuse problems by reducing cravings and calm them as they begin their treatment.
In the state of Virginia, Auricular Acupuncture can be used as the first step of
substance abuse treatment. "So even though there are lots of point that can
treat lots of different things, we are only treating addiction. We only use five
points in the ear," said Mark Farrington, the Director of Wellness Recovery at
Region 10. Those five points are triggers for different organs in the body which
work to detoxify.
Acupressure for Kids Helps Relieve Anxiety of Surgery -
Acupressure--a sect of acupuncture, using needles inserted on sensitive body
points--uses pressure instead of needles providing a calmer, more specific
pressure point relief than acupuncture. Surgery is hard enough for the body to
go through on its own--especially for a child's body to go through--without the
added stress of the pre-operative state. It makes sense to look to alternative
medicine for help because patients awaiting surgery may not be encouraged or
able to take sedatives before anesthesia. A new study shows that using
acupressure on children awaiting surgery has proven helpful in erasing nerves
and inducing the stoic courage needed not to fear the next
step.
Randomized controlled trial to treat migraine with acupuncture:
design and protocol - We report the design and the protocol of a randomized
controlled trial to treat Migraine with acupuncture aimed to testify whether
acupuncture is effective for treating migraine, and its effectiveness maybe is
different duo to using acupoints of different meridians or different acupoints
of one meridian.Methods and Design: A multi-center randomized controlled trial
with three acupoints treatment groups and one non-acupoints control group.
Acupuncture treatment consists of 20 sessions per patient during observation
period of 20 weeks.
Researchers consider acupuncture allergy treatment -
Researchers on the Gold Coast are investigating the benefits of acupuncture as
an alternative treatment for allergies like hay fever. The eight week project is
being led by academics at Griffith University. The pro vice-chancellor for
health, Professor Allan Cripps, says many Australians are already using
complementary and alternative therapies to treat allergies. "I think there's a
gathering body of evidence that acupuncture is recognised as a treatment for a
number of diseases, when we're talking about allergic diseases we must be quite
specific," he said. "Most of the studies showing clear effectiveness relate to
allergic rhinitis and not asthma and not urticaria and other allergic
diseases."
