Ace Acupuncture Clinic of Milwaukee

02/19/2026

On February 18, 2026 (Chinese Lunisolar New Year, third day of the first month), around noon in sunny, breezy Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the Midwest of U.S.. The Association of Integrative and Complementary Medicine student group at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), together with the Global Health Organization (likely another MCW student group), hosted a luncheon event in the Bolger Auditorium.

They invited Dr. Guanyuan Jin of Ace Acupuncture and 3 other local doctors or professors who practice integrative/complementary medicine to join a panel discussion. The topics covered were:

*How did you first get interested in and involved with integrative and complementary medicine?
*What are the most common misunderstandings or myths about integrative and complementary medicine?
*How do you balance the use of alternative/holistic approaches with standard Western medical treatments?
*How does your work directly help improve healthcare for the local diverse and global communities?
*What kinds of problems or concerns usually bring patients to seek your care?

Thanks to the invitation, Dr. Jin attended and shared his own views. He pointed out at least two major misconceptions in the Western medical community about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): people often mistake acupuncture's real physiological effects for just a placebo response, and they think compound herbal formulas are unsafe. Dr. Jin also strongly criticized the wrong claim by some non-acupuncturist "dry needling" practitioners that dry needling is not a form of acupuncture. By sharing real-life examples—like using acupuncture to relieve severe pain, and successfully using Chinese herbs to save a critically ill child with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia at a Minnesota children's hospital — Dr. Jin showed the scientific basis and proven effectiveness of TCM. This really opened the eyes of the mostly medical student audience and gave them fresh insights!

2026年2月18日，农历新年初三，中午时分，位于美国中西部的Milwaukee阳光灿烂，春风沐面，威斯康辛医学院（MCW）的整合医学与补充医学协会（Association of Integrative and Complementary Medicine）与 全球卫生组织（ Global Health Organization）在院内的博尔杰大礼堂（BOLGER ADUITORIUM）举办餐会。邀请四位当地从事整合/补充医学的医生或教授一起来作专题研讨（panal talk），研讨的主题有：

您对整合医学和补充医学的兴趣/参与最初是如何开始的？
关于整合医学和补充医学有哪些常见的误解和迷思？
您如何平衡替代/整体医学与标准西医治疗的使用？
您的工作如何直接影响当地全球/多元化民族人群的保健？
患者通常因哪些问题或担忧而寻求您的治疗

承蒙邀请，我出席并讲述了自己对这些问题的认知。我认为，目前西方医学界对中医的误区起码有二：把针灸的生理效应误以为是安慰效应及复方中药不安全。我还特别抨击了一些干针从业者提出的干针不属于针灸的谬论。通过列举应用针灸缓解剧烈疼痛，应用中药成功抢救明尼苏达儿童医院垂危肺炎（绿脓杆菌）患儿的真实事迹，中医的科学性与确实疗效使主要是医学生的听众们耳目一新！

Public Health Notice Regarding COVID-19

As we continue to learn more about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we are writing to you today to share our efforts to address patient hygiene and respiratory etiquette in our clinics. Common sense and basic cold and flu season hygiene are the best resources at this point, so let’s all be vigilant about those practices. We aren’t trying to add stress or anxiety regarding COVID-19. However, we take the health of our patients seriously and want to take proper precautions.
If you have an uncontrollable cough or sneezing, sore throat, fever, or acute gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, please stay home until you have been asymptomatic and without fever over 100.4F for at least 48 hours.

As of 3/12/2020, we are instituting several new protocols and procedures in an effort to address the spread of COVID-19.
1. Please use hand sanitizing units in around lobby and rest room.
2. We are using disinfecting wipes to clean/disinfect tabletops, desks, door handles, etc. on a twice daily basis.
3. Stay home if a family/household member is sick with the above symptoms, since COVID-19 may take 2 weeks from exposure to symptoms.
4. Please be aware that we may have possible last minute closures if staff or their children have any signs or symptoms.

Prevention
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:
o Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
o Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
o Stay home when you are sick.
o Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash, and wash your hands asap
o Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
o Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
People who think they may have been exposed to COVID-19 should contact their primary healthcare provider immediately and before presenting to their healthcare provider’s office. Seek medical attention if you have difficulty breathing or cannot keep yourself hydrated. If you have an underlying health condition such as asthma, diabetes, or an immune dysfunction, contact your doctor sooner. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s office protocol for being evaluated.
