Now acupuncturists and doctors of Oriental medicine can find detailed information on products and services in the Acupuncture Showcase (advertising@mpamedia.com). The Showcase is a new service of that allows acupuncture companies to publish and maintain information on all of the products and services they offer to the acupuncture profession.
The Showcase is updated every month with the most recent information and announcements featured on the home page. In addition, each acupuncture company has its own section of the Showcase where they can publish additional and previously released information.
Participating companies are already adding many pages of information that will allow interested doctors of Oriental medicine and acupuncturists the opportunity to read detailed information about the products and services they are interested in online. This information differs from advertising in that it provides pages of detailed information. If the company has a website, their link is provided as well.
The hope is that every acupuncture company will make this information available to the profession through the Acupuncture Showcase. By doing so, practitioners can have immediate access to information that will help them make informed buying decisions.
If your company isn't currently publishing its information on the Acupuncture Showcase, please call 1-800-324-7758.
Chronic pain afflicts over 20% of the adult population. Sadly, most MDs have essentially no education in treating pain, beyond offering a few toxic medications. Then they tend to steer people with pain away from those health practitioners who are trained. This puts the acupuncture community on the front lines for addressing this epidemic.
When the body is going through a stressful event, the sympathetic system is activated. This activation will help the body with a life-threatening situation. If this state is activated for prolonged periods of time, it starts to consume energy. These traumatic events that generate stressors in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) will eventually become internalized.

One of the things that makes acupuncture so difficult to measure is that the medicine actually does contain some esoteric aspects. There have been numerous studies that demonstrate the neurochemical reasoning behind why acupuncture points stimulate the autonomic nervous system to enact change However, not all the benefits of TCM can easily be measured by randomized, controlled trials. But does that make them fundamentally and definitively untrue?
