      According to the US "overseas newspaper" reported that, according to statistics, every one of the three American patients turned to unconventional medical methods, and most patients choose traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage therapy. Chinese medicine in the United States is gradually becoming the choice of medical alternative treatment.

      In the United States and China gathered in Chicago, the Chinese medicine industry also experienced efforts to integrate into the mainstream American society. Although compared to thirty years ago, now Chinese medicine in the United States has a lot of development, and in many states have legislation. But Chinese medicine want to shoulder with the Western medicine, the development of the road is still very long.

      In the Chicago Chinatown 30 Street Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital Zuozhen Xiang Zhiguo Chinese medicine practitioners, the original Liaoning College of Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture director, more than 30 years in the United States he has a lot of state experience in the United States, the development of Chinese medicine deep Experience.

And Western medicine confrontation, a small silver needle a miraculous

Understanding of Dr. Zeng Zhiguo, is derived from a 1999 incident in New Jersey appalling medical malpractice reported.

Due to misdiagnosis of Western medicine, a coma of Chinese women students were limbs high amputation. The patient after the awakening of the mysterious collapse, physical and mental torture, family members reported around for help, many local doctors do not want to get into trouble to go to the rescue.

Family members expressed gratitude dedicated to the noble medical ethics, medical superb pennants.

Xiang Zhiguo said that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture is not cure, for the analgesic and neurological treatment of the effect is more significant.

In the case of the patient who had a depression in the United States, seen Western medicine and psychotherapy were no effect. The patient had not slept for three days and three nights before going to treatment. In the treatment of acupuncture, that night will be able to sleep, after a dozen times in the treatment of depression after suffering from complete recovery. Many Western medicine can not be treated in front of the difficult conditions, in the treatment of Chinese medicine is indeed treated. Let the Americans accept Chinese medicine acupuncture, because Western medicine can not replace the miraculous.

Foreigners are more Chinese and more Chinese medicine

In addition to the Beijing Chinese medicine hospital in Chinatown, Chicago, the average proportion of Americans and Chinese is 4: 1 in patients who have received Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion in a clinic in Evanston, , The patient group, Chinese acupuncture more by the Americans welcome, and accept the treatment of Chinese medicine is less.

Contrary to Americans, Chinese tend to buy Chinese medicine for treatment. Most of the Chinese people to buy traditional Chinese medicine because of acupuncture need a number of treatment, and a single cost of about 50-60 yuan, compared to traditional Chinese medicine is more affordable.

In the United States practicing medicine, Chinese medicine acupuncture license has strict norms

In the United States, "Chinese medicine practitioners" is not the same as the Western doctors and doctors. However, the United States has "Chinese acupuncturist license" and "Chinese pharmacist license". There are about 30,000 licensed acupuncturists in the United States, and more than 5,000 Western doctors have obtained additional acupuncture licenses.

The state of the license issued by the requirements are not the same, but generally require the applicant in the United States Department of Higher Education approved acupuncture or Chinese medicine school acupuncture related courses, ranging from 1700 to 4000 hours, with 950 hours of clinical practice experience May be allowed to participate in acupuncture and moxibustion license examination.

Chinese medicine industry needs to continue to develop and improve

Chinese medicine is an increasingly sophisticated process, and the more patients to see, the more rich experience. In the Chinese medicine industry in Chicago, the better reputation of Chinese medicine practitioners, mostly from China and previously served in the Chinese medicine hospital, have experienced physicians. Chicago's money Meiling, Feng Xinxiang, Xiang Zhiguo is the local has a wealth of experience, good reputation of the representatives of Chinese medicine practitioners.

Because of the current US health care system control, Chinese medicine is often forced to "pure" Chinese medicine. The United States is not only high medical expenses, insurance people are also very difficult to hang on the number, even if the waiting number is waiting for inspection is spent time, often have to wait a few weeks, months, so many patients turn to Chinese medicine, so Chinese medicine practitioners "hope to ask" the medical requirements are higher. Experienced clinical Chinese medicine practitioners to reflect the local science class graduation of Chinese medicine does not have the medical advantage.

Zhicheng more than 100 acupuncture clinics Huabu 20

American Chinese medicine associations are trying to fight for further legislation, so that Chinese medicine can be more professional, more institutionalized management.

Chicago currently has more than 100 acupuncture clinics, concentrated in Chinatown clinics about more than 20, most of the distribution of the local community in the United States. Compared with the cost of $ 125- $ 195 per acupuncture and moxibustion in Washington, Mexico, Chicago is $ 50-60 acre every time. And because they can not get insurance company claims reimbursement, resulting in many people do not want to seek Chinese acupuncturist treatment, a great impact on the development of Chicago Chinese medicine industry.

To this end, the Chicago Chinese Medicine Industry Association is also trying to allow the government to further legislative permission, so that more people to accept Chinese medicine treatment, enjoy the traditional Chinese treasures bring real benefits.

Although the fight for the same status with Western medicine to obtain the future of the road long way to go, but all walks of life practitioners of the Chinese people will make unremitting efforts.
