Acupuncture, again

Read this:

"The Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners consists of nine members appointed by the Governor for six-year staggered terms not requiring Senate confirmation. The presiding officer of the Board is also appointed by the Governor. The board consists of the following: four acupuncturists with at least five years in the practice of acupuncture in Texas and are not licensed in this state as physicians; two physicians who are licensed in Texas and are experienced in the practice of acupuncture; three members of the public who are not licensed or trained in a health care profession."

I found this when I kept clicking at http://www.texasonline.com/. If you are wondering about how your acupuncturist is overseen, God bless the Internet, access your state, or country's licensing information. You can find out everything about the actual board members. You can also type in your particular doctors' name and find any complaints against him or her, and if their license is current and up to date.

I know you are scared. You are really sick, and you have been looking for answers and almost given up. Don't give up. Don't give up. If I can get well, with all my many illnesses, this should serve to inspire you to continue on, looking for answers. Acupuncture may not be the whole answer, or it may. You won't know unless you try. Let me repeat that Dr. Dorene Witter said when she has a patient who is really sick, especially if they have limited funds for all the testing, she gets the best results, the quickest, with acupuncture."

The results may not last, or they may, like Albert Saenz with his running injury. One treatment, after months of trying other avenues of healing, and within a week, he was pain free and running again!

Contact your insurance company for coverage information, as well as acupuncturists covered under the plan.

If you have no insurance, HEADS UP, acupuncture may well be the best option to begin with! Think about it.
