American Society of Acupuncturists to Hold First Annual Meeting

Editorial Staff  |  DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

The Board of the American Society of Acupuncturists will hold its first annual meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico the weekend of March 4-5, 2016.

The attendance of the meeting proper will be limited to specific delegates of participating state associations, as well as NCCAOM, CCAOM, and ACAOM. There will be communications given via Skype with a number of organizations, and updated reports during the meeting on activities of the many, many other relevant organizations in the field. We deeply regret that we cannot have all groups address this meeting directly, but time is very tight, even with two days.

We send apologies to both the Integrative Health Policy Consortium (IHPC) and to the National Guild of AOM (NGAOM) for omitting them from the initial agenda. IHPC will be providing an update to the group, and NGAOM has directed us to their website as the best source of up-to-date information.

Think of your most difficult patient – the one you try to motivate and work so hard with to develop a realistic treatment plan with achievable and measurable goals. Week after week, you see this patient struggle, sinking deeper into hopelessness as their health and quality of life continue to worsen. What if there was something else you could do that could change their outlook and their life? The solution is as simple as an automated program.

The Interstitium and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, as Taught by Wang Ju-Yi

To paraphrase the Tao de Jing; a bowl is useful because of the empty space. Recent anatomical research uncovered evidence for previously undescribed large-scale pathways that span organs, blood vessels and other connective tissue. These pathways are defined by what is known as the interstitial space between cells. The newer research provides evidence that these interstitial spaces actually make very large-scale networks between different types of tissue.
