Why?It would be the best if you can find a traditional chinese medicine doctor to do acupuncture.
Acupuncture points are acupuncture points are they not? So someone well trained in acupuncture knows the same points as a traditional chinese medicine doctor. I would think the important thing is to make sure of your acupuncturists credentials.

Sorry for my ignorance, I don't know what a DS is. Does Dr. Kou see people or just teach now? I can go to Portland, not out of reach. I live in MT, a practioner in my area is unlikely, but I will certainly look. Thank you so very much for your help. Is your ITP in remission? I pray it is and good health to you.
Sorry. DS=dear son
My last time with Dr. Kou (he was treating a family member) he was in private practice as well as still teaching at the college. That was 3yrs ago so not sure where he's at now. I just found his business card for you.
Mengke Kou L.Ac
725 NE 102nd Ave. Suite A
Portland, OR 97220
(503) 261-9603
He and his wife (his receptionist)speak terrible English so be willing to be patient. I do not know if he's moved in the last 3yrs. I know of one other person he treated in person that was from Michigan and then treated with chinese herbs long distance after that.
hope this helps you

Yes on the acupuncture points. I have used both. Someone who was trained to do acupuncture and then someone who was a chinese traditionalist. It's difficult to explain. Chinese medicine doctors have an intuitiveness about them. They will rarely just do acupuncture to a treat a person. They almost always use herbs as well. If one wants just acupuncture then it probably doesn't matter. Although there are those that aren't good at it for sure! I had one of those treat me. Yikes! For straight acupuncture getting references from people they've treated is important. Just like a good MD, not all natural practioners are good (we have been there/done that). If one wants a combination acupuncture/herbs then a traditional chinese medicine doctor is better.
