Acupuncture and Oriental/ Alternative Medicine as practiced by Dr. Barrett in Los Angeles, is the only evidence based medicine with clinical results recorded in writing for over 2000 years. That means the acupuncture points, the herbs, and tui na (traditional physical therapies) used in your treatments are time-tested and proven. This equates to very safe and effective treatments.
Since Acupuncture and Oriental/ Alternative Medicine is not a fad in Los Angeles, or one person's theory in any part of the world, you can be positive that noone is going to discover some unknown adverse effect in future years. The rigors of 2000 years of clinical results gives us more assurance than even the FDA can provide.
Prior to the ancient Greeks and Hippocrates, the father of Western Medicine (WM), WM and Acupuncture and Oriental/ Alternative Medicine shared much in common. However, from that time onward WM focused on understanding the human body and its organs as stand alone mechanical functions. This is known as allopathic medicine. At the same time OM focused to understand the human body as a whole. This is known as holistic medicine and is available throughout Los Angeles.
OM is unique as it is the only form of medicine to recognize qi. Qi is an electromagnetic current that flows parallel to our blood vessel and nerves. Blood circulation, nerve conduction and qi are interdependent. Improving one, improves the others. By recognizing qi to diagnose and treat, Acupuncture and Oriental/ Alternative Medicine can achieve results that are not possible with other forms of medicine.
Circulation, nerve conduction and qi flow can be improved through the use of acupuncture, herbal medicine, or tui na. There are instances where one modality may be advantageous, or other cases, where two or all three can be effectively used at the same time.
Although Acupuncture and Oriental/ Alternative Medicine is wondrous, it is not fair to say that it is superior to WM. While WM can boast about organ transplants, OM may reverse the effects of the common cold. While antibiotics may be superior in quickly fighting infections, OM may offer medication free relief of pain, restore fertility and treat many illnesses. While WM may replace a knee, OM may extend the usefulness of an original knee. The comparisons are endless. One can see that true integration of OM and WM is the optimal solution. Although OM and WM have already been integrated into the national healthcare systems of Australia, Europe and Asia, we are fortunate to see this process happening here in Los Angeles and throughout the United States where both forms of medicine are practiced according to some of the highest standards in the world. Truly, we are experiencing an unprecedented breakthrough in healthcare.
