Allan Sircus Ac., OMD Officially I write as a doctor of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is exactly what the words indicate; it is a system of medicine that is recognized by allopathic medicine as medicine. Acupuncture is respected today and is in use all over the world. Its concepts seem strange to the western mind though no one argues anymore with the efficacy of its treatments. Many medical people get insecure and envious and have tried to pull the practice of acupuncture away from those trained in oriental medicine, trying to classify acupuncture as 'medicine' or surgery, but they have failed at every turn. These doctors have been correct though in identifying acupuncture as medicine for that is exactly what it is. As an oriental medical physician I am free to talk about medicine in a way that non-medical people are not. I am on the inside, so to speak, part of the club, but as a doctor of oriental medicine I am naturally at odds with my allopathic colleagues who choose to see things quite differently. With all the differences I think we have all forgotten that medicine is medicine. Thus I present Biogenic Medicine in a present perfect sense meaning as if it already exists and that all of medicine has been incorporated into a unified whole. We are so used to thinking in fragments and so used to separate modalities, approaches, specialties and individualism that it's hard to imagine a school of medicine that does not recognize the differences. The first Biogenic Medical school will teach medicine, not chiropractic, homeopathy, oriental or allopathic medicine. It would teach basic medicine without bias as to approach. Specialization is something that should come after mastery of basic medicine that by definition would need to be holistic. (See Dr. Abraham Kryger, MD, DMD) Most trained acupuncturists today are taught Western medical and clinical science so that they can communicate with their Western medical colleagues and recognize when a patient's symptoms require treatment by Western medical procedures. They are taught to respect those areas where allopathic medicine reins supreme, as it does in the emergency and intensive care units.
There are many levels of oriental medical practice that were recognized in days gone past and through the years I have been training and practicing mostly in the spiritual and psychological areas leaving my needles and herbs mostly in the drawer. But with the birth of my son Nathan Thomas in May of 2003 I have been pulled back with incredible force into the areas of allopathic medicine, into the chemical and physical realities that are so much its domain. I launched World Psychology just a few weeks before Nathan was born but in the weeks after I discovered the incredible insanity of vaccines and what they are subjecting newborn babies to. Modern science and medicine have taken humanity into a darkness, into a place where crimes against humanity can be conducted freely and unobstructed in clinics and pediatrician offices around the world.
So today and for as long as I can see into the future my work is centered in writing Biogenic Medicine and presenting that work on this site.
