THE WRONG ACUPUNCTURIST
The practitioner
must use CLEAN NEEDLE TECHNIQUE - CNT is a technique for minimizing the
creation or spreading of infection. It’s a part of the NCCAOM - National
Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine exam.
Most state’s laws do not require CNT by name but require “safe techniques or
procedures”. Essence is the keyword for this issue. The important thing is
whether the practitioner takes precautions against causing or spreading
infection.
GUARANTEED CURE
- Cure and treatment are very different things. OM treats the range of human
illness but it doesn’t work every time for every condition. No form of
medicine does.
MANDATORY
CONTRACTS - Pay as services are rendered, not by contract. Your current
diagnosis should determine how much treatment you need, not your bank
account. The principle of on-going health maintenance is part of the
foundation of OM. However, the work of health maintenance should
progressively shift from practitioner to patient. This means that as a
patient’s health improves the number of treatments should decrease. How fast
improvement occurs is specific to each patient.
