> > > background data: kuo-ming Lin, once taught in zhejiang college of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 20 years, in 1990 the introduction of traditional Chinese medicine in western societies, the association of Chinese medicine in Belgium. Decades, Rotterdam, werder Bremen in Brussels and Paris practise medicine practice, is all a matter of profound Chinese medical theory foundation and rich clinical experience, the fusion theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine and qigong, acupuncture, whole bone, acupuncture, massage integrated therapy, not only service for Chinese, more European folk, for nursing homes in the group of patient's medical medical helpless, save countless terminally ill patients.

Since this year, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and the spread of ideas in the European Union headquarters in Brussels, Belgium unprecedented, thanks to the number of games against the eu officials and families of yizhen activities, popular with the European people's traditional Chinese medicine can achieve a wider range of "politician" support. Association of Chinese medicine in Belgium kuo-ming Lin accepted the economic information daily, reporter in an interview, at the top of promoting the development of TCM in Europe is expected to make further.

According to participate in the clinic kuo-ming Lin, about 36 of the European parliament and family members to participate in the Chinese medicine experience, their response is very good, and look forward to make an appointment to the next in the diagnosis and treatment. Experts yizhen in Belgium and from Beijing university of Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine academy of sciences, they all belong to the leading experts in their respective disciplines.

The European parliament, a senior official in charge of China policy is to experience the "magic" of traditional Chinese medicine. During a visit to China he tells a reporter, he often went to the bookstore to buy some books about Chinese traditional culture, such as acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, want to learn this knowledge. He said: "I really trust in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese doctors, they has been very good to me, is very helpful to me, they improve the condition of my health. I thank them very much."

The first Chinese to work in the European parliament GaiLin said the free clinic of traditional Chinese medicine is the first time for the eu officials, which has experienced some twists and turns, "has just come up with this idea, I think in the face of the European Union officials have a free clinic, at that time, some colleagues in congress is the opposition, because the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine has not been in Europe at the legal level to accept, they think I'm too dangerous to do so. But in my insistence, the European parliament eu-china friendly group chairman was senator support. I try to sent an invitation letter to all the officials, said we plan to this activity, hope everyone to participate. After sent, I found that the official response was very positive, in just one day more than 50 officials to sign up, the entire eu institutions, the commission of the people, people with the council, there is a parliament."

The positive response of European lawmakers reflects the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of mass base. Referring to the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine, Lin Guo confessed is more like health care, rather than drugs and surgery, locals accept degree is high. "Eight or nine as the locals, in patients with curative effect by word of mouth, become more and more popular. The treatment such as massage, acupuncture, cupping, scrape sha method is by far the most commonly used.

Part of the treatment program has not been legalized, however, medication is difficult to get approval, restricting the development of Chinese medicine in Europe.

According to kuo-ming Lin, Chinese medicine in Belgium, as of the date of from the start into the hot face people, government cold situation.

"A major bottleneck is Chinese traditional medicine into no. 2012, eu rules regular medical drugs need to be 12 to 15 years probation period, Chinese medicine need to blindly into blindly to legalization, yet a all have no, can't play the effect of Chinese medicine, TCM play to limit the huge effect."

Another big bottleneck industry barriers made it difficult for the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine is entirely legal, Lin Guo said, "as anything in the occurrence and development process, always meet all kinds of resistance. Is very conspicuous, the process of the development of TCM in Belgium are always faced with this conundrum, because, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine is indeed in the whole medical system, its cake and cheese has been assigned to a soup. And this fact is don't want to see western medicine, western medicine manufacturing is also not willing to a reality."

The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine on the legal grey line conditions in the early 1980 s also quite serious. Several doctors of traditional Chinese medicine well, use of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for the patient, and was convicted by the court. Because of this, the call of the legislation of acupuncture has been high.

In April 1999, the then minister of health in Belgium Colla (Belgium socialists, the bill is referred to as Wet Colla), in view of traditional Chinese medicine, and other three auxiliary medical system in Belgium for the public the fact that more and more recognition in the push up a Chinese medicine acupuncture legislative process. This is in the form of legislation in all European countries to determine the status of traditional Chinese medicine secretary of one of the most positive and most positive one. Unfortunately, due to political unrest, two evil by fermentation of events, the government in the proposed law is no law in the end, the voters to take effect before was disbanded. In spite of this, the law is effective, bill is still in discussion and modification, anyone and political parties to the proposed law will be destroyed or not deny.

In traditional Chinese medicine and other three relevant auxiliary medical system is in the process of legislation, the natural will be affected by opposition from traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine and stop even to the point of tit for tat, rat. Comparison, can't deny and underestimate the traditional medicine and huge team behind the large western medicine western medicine manufacturing, ability, financial and political background, their relationship with the upper field than relatively conservative and loose much stronger practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. The most obvious example is the last year. Belgium each university medical school dean held a roundtable, unanimously passed to cancel the TCM acupuncture and other three complementary medicine education status in colleges and universities. Kuo-ming Lin's college of traditional Chinese medicine is of call Hogeschool Brugge (belong at the university of leuven) have also been affected, decided to stop the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture education courses, admissions, and education. Is assurance of higher education of TCM has not yet been completed continue according to the plan, but it can't recruit new students.

As Belgian TCM practitioners to increase gradually, Belgian relevant personage also began to explore local open education of TCM in Belgium. In the early 1980 s, the first Chinese medicine college of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) - the smart college (Jingming college for Traditional Chinese medicine) was founded in Belgium. School absorbed famous TCM doctor in Belgium and in Belgium near the TCM doctor, length of schooling for 3 years. The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine college, meanwhile, Belgium in Brussels also proclaimed, recruit the college who have been trained in western medicine doctor, for their training and education of traditional Chinese medicine, only 2 year.

In the 1990 s, Chinese medicine get rapid progress in Belgium, recruit new students every year, hundreds of people of all kinds of class and lectures are held, relationship with the domestic colleges and universities of traditional Chinese medicine is also increasingly close. Kuo-ming Lin has contributed to smart college of traditional Chinese medicine with nanjing university of Chinese medicine, guangxi college of traditional Chinese medicine, jiangxi college of traditional Chinese medicine of inter-school exchanges, make the teaching between teachers and students of the two countries and further consolidate and clinical practice.

At the beginning of this century, the higher education of TCM officially included in Belgium, recognised by the Belgian ministry of education, college of traditional Chinese medicine belong to relevant university, 3 years of education. Because there are strict recruitment and management system of higher education in Belgium, only with the first have received higher education students in Belgium, such as the western medicine, midwives, nurses, and dentists, are eligible to enter the traditional Chinese medicine education, accept issued diploma, or college of traditional Chinese medicine can only issue the certificate. Through the higher education of Chinese medicine graduate students in Belgium, diploma is equivalent to master's.

Lin Guo confessed, in trouble, Chinese medicine practitioners can do is to unite and actively respond to participate in the ministry of health of the roundtable, continue to promote the legislation of TCM, and within the legal framework to establish and perfect the best protection of traditional Chinese medicine. Education of traditional Chinese medicine is now in the cold, but, in the context of situation, it's just temporary, still have a lot of possible support of top leaders in the legislative level, because, until the new government was founded, the legislation work and processes has not been stopped, and is the direction of the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been positive legislation. In addition, not every college education colleges to put an end to the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture education. Kuo-ming Lin's college of traditional Chinese medicine is actively carry out mergers and reorganization with other colleges and universities, has set up a new college of traditional Chinese medicine (www.iczo.be), the affiliated another high school at the university of leuven, Lier Hoogschool. As long as open the web page, it will naturally find TCM education into another heyday. At present, the Belgian a college of traditional Chinese medicine (http://www.otcg.be) also continue to affiliated in Antwerp, universities, actively engaged in Chinese medicine education and vocational training. Visible, the progress of Chinese medicine in Belgium footsteps never stop.
