WHY WOULD THE TEXAS MEDICAL BOARD WANT TO OVERSEE ACUPUNCTURE IF IT DOESN'T WORK?

SB 1314 would deny currently acupuncture practicing Chiropractic doctors, the right to continue practice of this art, but would allow NURSES and "Physician Assistants" to practice.

Well, do they want to put their medical stamp of approval on this practice or not ?

Toothpicks Match Needles for Acupuncture

Non-piercing pokes yield the same back pain relief as the skin-penetrating approach

Posted May 12, 2009

A sham form of acupuncture using toothpicks that don’t penetrate the skin works as well as traditional needle acupuncture for relieving back pain, researchers report in the May 11 Archives of Internal Medicine. Both procedures outperformed non-acupuncture alternatives, such as medication alone.

Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese practice of inserting needles into meridians, channels along which practitioners believe vital energy flows. Western medicine has struggled to verify whether these meridians exist, much less understand the biological mechanism by which the penetrations apparently relieve pain and deliver other benefits.

The scientists randomly assigned 638 people with chronic low back pain to one of four treatment groups. Two of the groups received acupuncture treatment: one group received individualized treatment by a practitioner, while the other received the standardized acupuncture regimen. A third group got the sham acupuncture, in which toothpicks were housed in needle guide tubes so participants couldn’t spot the sham. The fourth group received nothing beyond the drugs typically taken for back pain.

Volunteers received 10 treatments over seven weeks. None of the volunteers had previously received acupuncture for back pain, and all were permitted to continue using medication, typically anti-inflammatory drugs or pain relievers, says study coauthor Daniel Cherkin, an epidemiologist at the Group Health Center for Health Studies in Seattle.

A week after the last treatment, about three-fifths of those getting real or sham acupuncture reported significant improvement in disabilities brought on by back pain, compared with only two-fifths of those not receiving any real or simulated acupuncture."

SAY NO TO A MEDICAL BOARD MONOPOLY OF ACUPUNCTURE

The State Medical Board of Texas, if it gets its way through full passage of Texas Senate Bill 1314 (SB1314) would have authoritarian, draconian, and monopolistic control of the practice of acupuncture regardless of the nature of the practitioner, and in light of the actions of the TMA (Texas Medical Association), it is clear that this would be the immediate end of Chiropractic doctors' ability to practice acupuncture, or use acupuncture needles in the treatment of patients. This probably would also forbid Chiropractic doctors (many unfortunately use the term "chiropractors" which I dislike) from even doing the earlobe staples for weight control, or control of nicotine addiction in Texas. The Medical Board, in my opinion, would like nothing more than the elimination of Chiropractic, and the ability to put every complementary and alternative health system in subordination to them. The bill has passed the Texas Senate, so the last stand would be for the House of Representatives to vote it down. PLEASE contact YOUR House of Representatives representative and stress as strongly as possible, this is a bad bill, doesn't do anything good, but actually interferes with holistic health care in Texas,
STOP TEXAS SENATE BILL 1314- SAY NO TO A MEDICAL BOARD MONOPOLY
