I am a filmmaker making a documentary film about Traditional Chinese Medicine (or TCM). Are there any health professionals out there based near London (or visiting in February)who are strongly opposed to the supposed benefits of TCM and would like to use my film as a platform, if so I would very much like to talk to you. I'm new to this forum but hopefully you will know how to contact me. Cheers and best wishes for the New Year. Comments from anyone else are most welcome!
 
I'm not a health professional as such, just a consultant clinical scientist, but I have had some interesting exchanges with regulatory authorities about the legality of TCM shops making health claims. PM me and I'll send you my email.

I'd recommend browsing through Dr. Robert Imrie's online version of his Acupuncture research: http://drspinello.com/altmed/acuvet/acuvet.swf - he has concluded that it is not "Traditional", probably not "Chinese", and certainly not "Medicine".

Also recommended is Kim Taylor's Medicine in Early Communist China, 1949 - 1963, which outlines how much of what we call TCM today was invented out of whole cloth for political reasons in Maoist China.
 
thanks blutoski,

Dr Imrie's work is quite fascinating, unfortunately his email address on the flash doc seems to be no longer valid. I'll try googling him.
 
I am sorry to hear that.


I was mightily impressed in the way that he was able present in such a way that allows those from the non-scientific community such as myself to easily comprehend.
