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 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. Claims that 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 and TCM column, published in Ireland’s most widely read and purchased Martial Arts Magazine – Irish Fighter.

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. I can be contacted directly here for comment.

Should you have any questions, comments or suggestions please do not hesitate to

contact me.
