Abstract/Notes Excerpt: Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have been well established in the Far East for centuries and are well documented in literature such as the Huang Di Nei Jing (the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine), which is considered the bible on acupuncture and TCM. With the movement of immigrants from Asia to North America, acupuncture and TCM were introduced to this continent but until recent times were limited to back rooms of herb shops and living room practices. The major turning point in North America came in 1972 as a result of U.S. President Richard Nixon’s historic visit to China. New York Times reporter James Reston, who accompanied the presidential party, suffered an acute case of appendicitis while there. He was successfully treated with acupuncture and on his return wrote about the peculiarities of the treatment he had received, which sparked a wave of scientific and medical interest in this ancient therapy.
