NOW IN STOCK: A Formula Targeted to Support the Body during the  Vaccination Process

We now have an exciting herbal that is proving to be highly effective for patients who are concerned about side-effects from the COVID vaccine. Testimonies from acupuncturists specializing in treating autistic children and adults who had particular concerns about vaccine reactions were glowing.

MoshenHerbs' "GUARD" - Vaccination Support Formula(information from MoshenHerbs)
GUARD is a formula targeted to support the body during the process of Vaccination. Guard is used to help lessen the side effects of vaccinations, utilizing herbs that supplement defensive Lung energy. Another category of herbs has been incorporated to increase the detoxifying function of the liver. This aids in clearing the adjuvants and synthetic preservatives that enter the system at the point of injection so that the body may be supported to clear unwanted/unpleasant toxins faster. For best results, take GUARD for one week before your vaccine and continue for one week after the vaccine. At a minimum, you could take GUARD three days before and after the vaccine to get results.

Know Your Acupuncturist!
Particularly in States Other than Hawaii and Montana
 
Practitioners whose educational focus is in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine receive a large majority of their training focused in this field, supplemented with western medical training, to support the complementary treatment of clients who will also be working with a MD. They undergo an extensive clinical internship averaging 3 years in addition to the classroom and textbook studies.

Other healthcare practitioners may use acupuncture, which is one of the many therapies of Oriental Medicine, as an adjunct to their primary practice. While all of these practitioners have training in western medical sciences, there are varying levels of acupuncture training generally undertaken by healthcare professionals.

States vary on their requirements for state licensure. The acupuncture and Oriental medicine schools in these different states often reflect the state's requirements in their school's curriculum and diploma requirements. At this point, only two states require passing of the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM®)'s board exams for anyone, even MDs, to be allowed to advertise or state that they do acupuncture. Those states are Montana and Hawaii.

In states other than Hawaii and Montana, it is important to understand your state's regulations and leniency in training required for someone to say they "do acupuncture", and to understand the difference between "doing acupuncture" with full training and national boards testing in the diagnostic and treating theories of Oriental Medicine vs "doing acupuncture" with limited introduction to point locations - or even with zero hours of training required in a few states for MD's, who may wish and choose to add "acupuncture" to their list of services.

Note: Many western-modality health-care practitioners do pursue more studies than the minimum required, and there are some chiropractors who have pursued the full course of study required for a licensed acupuncturist, to enable them to pass the NCCAOM boards. These practitioners will use the state's title for a licensed acupuncturist and will have an NCCAOM diplomate standing.
 
In conclusion, don't hesitate to ask questions to know more about a practitioner's training and the type of acupuncture offered in a clinic. Has your practitioner fully embraced and regularly employed the powerful depth of Oriental Medicine's and acupuncture's healing?
