Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete system of medicine. Extracting its parts to increase billing potential disrespects 3,000 years of knowledge. This is an excerpt of a letter from my colleague to the Minnesota Legislature -Today there is a push to rebrand the acupuncture needle and practice methods of this traditional medicine along with the other tools. (Dry needling, Graston, cupping etc employed by Physcal Therapists, Chiropractors, and other practitioners whom have not studied Traditional Chinese Medicine) The recognition that this is a rebranding of a traditional medicine is important. Rebranding causes harm to society because it requires deception that there is a new use of the acupuncture needle, other tools and techniques of practice and that by simply renaming them makes it different. That the creating of cultural stereotypes implying that these cultures did not understand that there are muscles in the body or that practitioners do not understand anatomy and physiology is wrong. That because you do not understand Chinese, Japanese, Hmong, Korean and Vietnamese language and don't understand the historical basis or the practice of this traditional medicine that you are not practicing it by rebranding. It also causes harm to society because the intellectual property of traditional medicine is inferiorized and not given proper credit for the discovery while we continue to gain scientific knowledge of the mechanisms of action. In Minnesota we recognize traditional medicine has played a role for many cultures and that the rebranding of the medicine is harmful.
