Today we mark Acupuncture Day, where we the practitioners take some time to offer some good content to those interested in acupuncture and oriental medicine.
So how should we mark this day?
The web is full of explanations of how acupuncture works, yin and yang… You don’t really want me to start writing about that, right?
I thought that maybe we should take a more interesting appraoch and so things a bit different this time.
So I’m going to suggest a number of links that I think offer good information about how Chinese medicine can work well for patients (and practitioners too!):

Have you noticed how the whole world is buzzing and scared of the swine flu??
Of course you have. How can you not? Every now and then we got a scary headline that another person died of the disease, making everyone really scared of this mysterious new form of flu.
It seems that lately, those alarming headlines calmed down, and instead, people are talking a lot about a vaccine.
I decided to start reading about the swine flu, to know more about it.
The more I read, the more paranoid I became- is it possible that we are being scared out of our minds over a simple disease? Is it possible, that we are being pumped with only one side of the story?
I mean, there were little notices about people recovering from swine flu just like any other flu, but for some reason, those little articles were not made into huge headlines.
Why is that? Could it be that the reason for spreading the fear is for better vaccine sales?
