Acupuncture in the Media, is receiving increasing exposure. Everyday as the popularity and the statistical success of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine develops and grows more and more people become interested in Acupuncture and TCM. It’s only natural that this should result in increased Acupuncture in the Media exposure. On a monthly basis I see an upshot in the number of articles in Irish Newspapers and Magazines, as well as TV documentaries and new reports.
Most of this is fantastic news, some however is slightly sensationalist and alarming. Some Acupuncture in the Media claims can’t be backed up occasionally appear due to well meaning or misinformed enthusiasts. It’s important to place these in context so that the correct context and considerations can be maintained.
In this section I’ll present the information I gather from the articles I come across in mainstream media, stories of interest and even exerts and scans of my own regular Acupuncture in the Media columns, published in Ireland’s most widely read and purchased Martial Arts Magazine – Irish Fighter and my nutitional column in international food magazine - Spezzatino.
Of course I make myself available to any media outlet or report looking for credible, reliable and informative comments or articles in reaction to the latest publicized information on Acupuncture in the Media. I can be contacted directly here for comment.
