We need to stand United against professions that are trying to poach skills from our profession with a fraction of the training. Not only does it infringe upon our practice, but it presents a great safety concerns to patients when other types of practitioners are taking crash courses in something as risky as sticking needles in a body, and then are off to the races, using those unrefined skills in their practice.  Down the line, If other professions are allowed to use our modalities without proper training and experience, as people get injured or have bad experiences by these other practitioners, it will begin to reflect poorly upon our profession as well, simply because we would be utilizing the same modalities.
