A needle is some kind of irritation into the fascia. The American profession has since gone away from facing the fact that needles irritate. The Western medical profession is enthralled by the fact that it irritates. Let's not be afraid of it. TCM acupuncture actually is very strong needle technique.
Korean acupuncture is very strong needle technique.
Asian acupuncture actually is very strong needle technique. A lot of things have happened in this country that show me that people aren't paying any attention to what we really do. So, what concerns me is that in trying to make Oriental medicine be the same as Western medicine, we're presenting Oriental medicine as the main thrust. But Western medicine is doing acupuncture too. They've developed this kind of acupuncture, which is called medical acupuncture.
