TCM Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
On the rise in the most technologically advanced US in the world
There are TCM clinics in every state in the United States. In big cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, there are hundreds of TCM clinics. At present, there are 8,000 TCM clinics in the United States. Some ports in the United States almost all import Chinese medicinal materials, and their high quality and fine processing are also praised by people. The reporter went overseas many times and stayed there for several months. There is no doubt that he saw and felt that the optimistic situation of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in the United States is irreversible. In countries such as the UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland in Europe, TCM clinics are dotted all over, and the prospects are gratifying.
Exterior view of a TCM acupuncture clinic in the United States
In fact, although the United States has the most developed Western medicine and the most sound medical system in the world, it cannot solve the two major limitations of Western medicine at all.
One is the high rate of misdiagnosis, abuse of western medicine, side effects of western medicine and drug resistance. In the United States, 1 million hospitalized patients are victimized by adverse drug reactions every year, and up to 180,000 people die every year.
Second, Western medicine in the United States has no good solutions to many chronic diseases, senile diseases, and a large number of difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and these diseases account for more than 70% of the total number of human diseases.
Facing the reality, the United States and other Western developed countries have reformed the current health care system on the one hand, and expanded the scope of benefits for citizens. On the other hand, promote and encourage traditional medical methods such as acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and gradually incorporate them into the medical and health security systems of Western countries.
The status of acupuncture and moxibustion in the American medical system has changed from being completely outside the system to being a supplement that hits the door. Now it has gradually stepped into this door and become a part of the American medical system. Its position in the entire medical system is also getting higher and higher. Many Americans even said when they were studying Chinese medicine: The motivation for learning acupuncture is because acupuncture is the most popular alternative therapy in the United States, "I have been looking for the most holistic way of practicing medicine"!
Now American acupuncturists have a master's degree, but it is said that there will be changes in the next 10 years, and eventually acupuncturists are very likely to have a doctorate. Among the acupuncturists who graduated from Chinese medicine colleges certified by the National Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), about 25% are Chinese, 20% are Korean, and 55% are white. This data makes me see that more and more Westerners are learning Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion. At present, there are about 50,000 practicing acupuncturists in the acupuncture field in the United States, of which less than 30% are Chinese. It can be seen that TCM acupuncture has a broad space for development in the United States.
It is said that Western medicine hospitals in the United States did not accept Chinese medicine in the past, but now the change is that patients are often introduced to Chinese medicine and advised to try Chinese medicine, and some hospitals have also set up acupuncture departments. Treat patients. More and more acupuncture and moxibustion treatments have been included in the clinical treatment guidelines of American medicine, and acupuncture and moxibustion are included in the first-line treatment for low back pain diseases.
The development speed of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in the United States is amazing. The acceptance and welcome procedures of the American people are second only to Western medicine, and more than 50 states in the United States have promulgated the "Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Act", which provides formal legal protection for Chinese medicine and allows more The original Chinese medicine practitioners joined the ranks of American Chinese medicine practitioners. In the United States, a doctor is a very lucrative position with an average salary of more than 60,000 to 100,000 US dollars. The salaries of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional western medicine are comparable, and the annual salary is also more than 60,000 to 100,000 US dollars. It is not uncommon for professional TCM physicians to be paid more than 200,000 US dollars. Of course, we still get a salary. There are not a few Chinese medicine practitioners who open private clinics in the United States, and their annual income is more than one million US dollars, which is coveted! It can also be seen from this that Chinese medicine is definitely not as popular as Western medicine in the United States.
In the United States, the fee for an acupuncture session is generally US$50 to US$100 (equivalent to RMB 400 to 700). to over $150,000.
A mainland Chinese medicine doctor living far away in the United States, who is introverted and doesn't like to show off, let alone put himself in the same way as Chinese people. With his solid knowledge of Chinese medicine, he opened a Chinese medicine acupuncture clinic in Austin, Texas. As time went by, more and more patients in the clinic snowballed, and some even flew from big cities such as Houston and Danas to see a doctor. Among them were members of the US Congress.

More and more Americans like Chinese medicine
Irene, an American female student who is studying Chinese medicine. Her mother is an acupuncturist who opened a clinic in the United States. She said: "Some young Chinese friends think that Chinese medicine is outdated and the curative effect is not good. If you want to see a doctor, it is best to find Western medicine. Mainly young people in China are not confident enough in their own things. Chinese medicine can help many people, sometimes better than western medicine.”
When some Chinese friends said to her: "Why study Chinese medicine?", Irene would always talk about the magic of Chinese medicine, which can treat many diseases that Western medicine cannot. Some patients feel stomach pain and stomach acid distension, and they can't find anything wrong with the film. Western medicine doctors say that there is no problem and let the patient go home. Traditional Chinese medicine can diagnose "non-disease" through "seeing, smelling and asking", and intervene in advance to adjust treatment. Acupuncture is very popular in Europe, even more popular than in China. Experienced doctors charge $100 to $200 for an acupuncture session in the United States. Erin said that her mother was inexperienced and only charged $60 for one acupuncture treatment.
Did the appearance of "Philippine Fish" covered in cupping jars make you stunned? The picture above calls out your memory. According to "Flying Fish", the secret to his gold medal is cupping!
American male gymnast ALEX posted a photo of cupping on his Instagram. He said in an interview with "USA Today": "Cupping is my secret weapon to keep me healthy this year. It is more effective than anything else I have spent money on before." The treatment is all good!"
Cleveland Hospital, one of the top 3 top hospitals in the United States, has opened a Chinese medicine clinic.
In late 2012, (Sub. H.B. 251) was passed in the Ohio State Assembly almost unanimously (32 to 1 in the Senate, 93 to 0 in the House of Representatives). The law stipulates that "Practitioners of Eastern medicine may use herbal remedies in their practice, including the use of food, herbs, vitamins, minerals, organ extracts and homeopathy". After a year of preparation, the Cleveland Clinic opened a TCM outpatient clinic, becoming the leader in adopting TCM in large comprehensive medical institutions in the United States.
A Chinese medicine doctor immigrated to the United States. Because of the demonization of Chinese medicine in China, he thought that Americans did not believe in Chinese medicine, and he was trembling. It turns out that Americans have a high degree of recognition of TCM. This heart was slowly let go. The environment for Chinese medicine in the United States is very relaxed. He opened a Chinese medicine acupuncture clinic, and the daily number of American patients is very large, accounting for more than 90%.
The U.S. military is extensively researching and using acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine
October 2010 U.S. Department of Defense Report: Doctors Are Using Acupuncture as Their Newest Battlefield Tool!
In February 2012, the world-renowned NPR (American Public Radio) reported that the U.S. military debunked the remarks on acupuncture and moxibustion. The underlined text above means: I've had a lot of pain treatments and this acupuncture treatment is my favorite of all because I've really felt a huge difference.
In April 2011, the world-renowned "Wall Street Journal" reported: Can acupuncture relieve the pain of wounded soldiers? U.S. military doctors in Afghanistan are using acupuncture to treat brain injuries with promising results.
When the US "Wall Street Journal" interviewed Stuessi, a US military doctor in the field, Stuess said: What we can say is: "We have learned acupuncture to treat pain from the Chinese. They have used acupuncture for thousands of years."

At present, Chinese medicine and acupuncture are blooming all over the world
There is about 1 TCM or acupuncture clinic for every 15,000 people in Germany, about 8,000 acupuncture clinics in the United States, about 1,600 TCM clinics in the Netherlands, about 2,800 acupuncture clinics in France, and more than 3,000 TCM clinics in Australia. 3000 acupuncture clinics.
TCM medical institutions are located in more than 160 countries or regions around the world, in Japan, North Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Austria, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Cuba, etc. Some hospitals in the country have optional acupuncture, massage, traditional Chinese medicine departments or pain clinics, providing health care services to tens of millions of patients from various countries every year.
But we ourselves are over-westernized, traditional Chinese medicine techniques are weakened, and brain drain is lost. The reasons for this are worth pondering!
暗查美国8000家中医诊所，都指向一个真相！
-01-
中医针灸和中医药
在全球科技最发达的美国呈上升趋势
美国每个州都有中医诊所。洛杉矶、旧金山、纽约等大城市，中医诊所数量成百上千。目前全美国已有8000家中医诊所。美国一些港口，也几乎都有中药材的进口，其质量的上乘、加工的精细亦为人所称道。记者多次去海外，一住就是数月，毋庸置疑地看到、感受到：中医针灸和中医药在美国看好的形势已经不可逆转。欧洲的英国、法国、意大利、荷兰、瑞士等国家，中医诊所也是星罗棋布，前景喜人。
美国一家中医针灸诊所外景
事实上，美国虽然拥有世界最发达的西方医学和最健全的医疗体系，却根本无法解决西医的两个重大局限。
一是高误诊率、西药滥用、西药毒副作用和耐药性问题。美国每年有100万住院病人因药物不良反应而受害，每年高达18万人死亡。
二是美国的西医对许多慢性病、老年病及大量疑难杂症还没有很好的解决手段，而这些病症占人类疾病总数的70%以上。
面对现实，美国等西方发达国家一方面改革现行卫生保障体系，扩大公民受益范围。另一方面，推行和鼓励中医针灸、中医等传统医学方法，并逐步纳入西方各国医疗卫生保障体系。
针灸在美国医疗体系的地位，从完全在体系之外，到一个补充，碰到门边上，现在是逐渐踏入了这个门，成为美国医疗体系的一部分，它在整个医疗体系中的地位也变得越来越高。甚至很多美国人学中医时表示：想来学针灸的动机是因为针灸是美国最普及的替代疗法，“我一直在寻找一种最整体的行医方式”！
现在美国针灸师的学位都是硕士，但是据说未来10年内将会有变化，最终针灸师非常可能一样会有博士学位。而在美国国家针灸及东方医学认证委员会（NCCAOM） 认证的中医学院毕业的针灸师中，25%左右是华裔，20%是韩裔，另外55%则是白人。这个数据使俺看到越来越多的西方人在学习中医针灸。而目前在美国的针灸界，有大约5万名执业针灸师，其中华人还占不到三成，可见中医针灸在美国有着广阔的发展空间。
据说过去美国西医的医院是不接受中医的，而现在的转变是：经常会有为中医介绍病人，并建议病人尝试中医疗法，并且有部分医院也设置了针灸科，由掌握针灸技术的临床医生为病人诊疗。美国医学临床治疗指南中也加入越来越多的针灸疗法，其中腰痛类疾病更是将针灸纳入一线疗法，这是美国西医界对针灸开始认可的标志。
中医和针灸在美国的发展速度让人惊叹，美国人民接受程度和欢迎程序仅次于西医，并且美国超过五十个州都颁布了《针灸中医法》，对中医提供正规的法律保护，让更多的原生中医加入美国中医的队伍中。在美国，医生是一个收入及其丰厚的的职位，平均工资都在6-10万美元以上，中医和传统西医的工资待遇不相上下，年工资也在6-10万美金以上，较高级的专业中医医师待遇在20万美金以上也不少见，当然我们说还是拿工资的，中医在美国开私人诊所的不在少数，他们的年收入更在百万美金以上，令人垂涎！由此也可以看出，中医在美国的受欢迎程度绝对不落于西医。
在美国，一次针灸的收费一般在50到100美元（相当于400到700元人民币），一名针灸师一年中等水平的收入都能达到8万-10万美元左右，高级的针灸师甚至可以达到15万美元以上。
一位远在美国年近不惑的大陆中医，性格内敛，不爱张扬，更不会像国人那样去包装自己，甚至闭口不提布什当州长时找他扎过针的事。凭自己扎实的中医功底，在德州州府奥斯汀扬开了一家中医针灸诊所。随着时间的推移，诊所的病人如滚雪球一样越来越多，有的甚至从休斯顿、达那斯等大城市乘飞机赶来就诊，其中有美国国会的议员。

喜欢中医的美国人越来越多
一位正在学习中医的美国女学生爱琳，她的母亲就是一位在美国开诊所的针灸师，她说：“一些中国年轻朋友觉得中医过时了，疗效也不好。看病的话，最好找西医。主要是中国年轻人对自己的东西不够自信。中医可以帮助很多人，有时候比西医还好。”
当有的中国朋友对她说：“学中医干吗？”时，爱琳总会讲中医的神奇，中医能治疗很多西医治不了的病。有的患者感到胃疼、胃酸胀，拍片子看不出毛病，西医就说没问题，让患者回家。中医则通过“望闻问切”，能诊断出“未病”，提前介入调整治疗。针灸在欧洲很火，比在中国还火。有经验的医生在美国针灸一次，收费100美元到200美元。爱琳说，她妈妈经验不够，针灸一次只收60美元。
“菲鱼”满身火罐一出来的造型让你惊呆了没有？上图呼唤下你们的记忆。据"飞鱼"说，他夺金的秘诀就是拔罐!
美国男子体操选手ALEX在自己的Instagram上晒出了拔火罐的照片，他接受《今日美国》采访时说：“拔火罐是让我今年保持健康的秘密武器，它的效果比我此前花钱做的其他治疗都好"!
全美排名前3的顶尖医院克利夫兰医院，开设了中医门诊。
2012年年底，（Sub. H.B. 251）在俄亥俄州议会几乎无异议得到通过（参议院32比1，众议院93比0）。法律规定，“东方医学的执业者，可以在行医时采用草药疗法，包括使用食品，草药，维生素，矿物质，器官提取物和采取顺势疗法”。经过一年的筹备，克利夫兰诊所开设了中医门诊，成为美国大型综合性医疗机构采用中医药的领头羊。
一位中医，移民到美国，因为国内妖魔化中医，他以为美国人都不信中医，战战兢兢。结果发现美国人对中医认可度相当高。这颗心才慢慢放下来，美国对中医的环境很宽松，他开了一个中医针灸诊所，每天的美国病人非常多，占了90%以上。
美军正在大量研究和使用中医针灸
2010年10月美国国防部的报道：医生们正在使用针灸作为最新的战地工具！
2012年2月世界著名的NPR（美国公共广播电台）的报道：美军戳穿了对针灸质疑的言论。上文划红线的文字意为：我已经接受过很多疼痛治疗，而本次针灸治疗是我经历的所有治疗中最喜欢的一个，因为我已经真正感受到了巨大的不同。
2011年4月世界著名的《华尔街日报》报道：针灸能减轻受伤士兵的痛苦吗？阿富汗的美军医生使用针灸治疗脑损伤并取得可喜的结果。
美国《华尔街日报》采访美军战地医生Stuessi时，Stuess说：我们能说的是：“我们已经从中国人那里学到了针灸治疗痛症，他们已经使用针灸几千年。”

目前中医和针灸在全球遍地开花
德国大约每15000人中就有１家中医或针灸诊所，美国约有8000多家针灸诊所，荷兰约有1600家中医诊所，法国约有2800家针灸诊所，澳大利亚约有3000多家中医诊所和近3000家针灸诊所。
中医医疗机构遍布全世界160多个国家或地区，在日本、朝鲜、新加坡、泰国、菲律宾、印尼、马来西亚、缅甸、柬埔寨、越南、英国、法国、俄罗斯、奥地利、美国、加拿大、巴西、古巴等国家的部分医院均选择性设有针灸、推拿、中医科室或疼痛门诊，每年为数以千万计的各国患者提供卫生保健服务。
而我们自己，却过度西化，传统中医技术弱化，人才流失，个中缘由值得我们深思！
