Opposed
 

Hello,

As a licensed acupuncturist in practice for 14 years after 4 years of intensive study, I oppose any practice acupuncture with out a license.

In effect, giving athletic trainers a minimum of training and legally allowing them to perform acupuncture is ridiculous.  It puts the client at risk and jeopardizes the real practice of acupuncture those of us have dedicated our lives to. 

PLEASE OPPOSE THIS!

Thank you,

Lara
