A question about NHS acupuncture in the UK? |
You can only get acupuncture on the NHS from a Gp that is registered as an acupuncturist. They will most likely have had the minimal training in the field of acupuncture, will probably not know a thing of 5-element theory let alone prescribe herbal remedies. TCM theory has treatment for things like sinusitis, sciatica, neuralgia and even neuralgia. And 5-element theory treats mental dis-ease very well too. A mainland China trained physician has had 7 years of university education behind them. Why can they not practice within the NHS? Even if they are a member of the Acupuncture trade bodies it still is not enough. At the same time they are allowed to practice in private practices and are only available to those that can afford it. So the question, is why does the NHS not accept a Chinese university education to practice on NHS? There is a whole range of conditions that even the World Health organization recognizes as effectively treatable with TCm Yes, it's ridiculous. I was a blood donor but had acupuncture from a Chinese doctor who, although being qualified to practice this far more than any British doctors, did not have NHS authentication. He used fresh needles each time and I watched each one being unwrapped and inserted. But because he didn't have a certain licence issued by the NHS, I am no longer allowed to give blood! With all the problems with aids and shared needles, did those powers that be seriously think that I would let someone stick used needles in me....the mind boggles I would go for TCM over NHS any day....if I could afford to. I had acupuncture and it would have saved me a lot of hassle if it was available on the NHS. It has worked better than any western medicine! |
