        Frequently Asked Questions

 

Question:  What is the efficacy and safety of ACMA treatments comparing with the pharmaceutical drug treatments?

(1) Efficacy 

Before receiving ACMA treatments, most patients had been seeking allopathic medicine pharmaceutical drug treatments for 5 to 40 years.  All previous allopathic medicine treatments failed, but the ACMA treatments work very well for most cases for the same diseases and the same patients. 

(2) Safety

ACMA treatments are 100% natural, have little or no side effect.  It's much safer than the pharmaceutical drugs.

 

Question: What's the differences between acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM)?

For more information on this topic, please go to Acupuncture vs. Chinese Medicine.

 

Question: Why my family doctors and specialists (MDs) do not believe Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM)?

There are two factors affecting MD's comments on Chinese Medicine:

(1) Qualification

It takes 6 years of medical school study to obtain a Chinese Medicine doctor (CMD) degree in order to be qualified to practice CHM.  MDs have not received any education or training in CHM.  So MDs are not qualified to judge whether CHM treatments work or not.  

(2) Conflict of Interest

Because Chinese Medicine (CM) is the largest competitor of
allopathic Western Medicine (WM) in more than 100 countries, the relationship between CM and WM is similar to the relationship between Republican and Democratic.  Patients are voters.  Due to this reason, patients usually cannot get objective opinions on ACMA treatments from MDs.

Currently, patients are in between the two competitive medicines.
This is a pity to patients because patients cannot get objective and
useful advices from CM competitors.  Patients often got untrue and counterproductive comments from MDs on CHM, which had finally harmed the patients and even caused many unnecessary deaths.  Hoping patients will not become victims of medicine competition.

Similar to the relationship between other competitors, it's very hard to change the relationship between CHM and allopathic medicine in short time.  So at this moment, patients should keep in mind that the final decision right in medicine belongs to the patient.

 

Question: Are the ACMA treatments similar to the dietary supplement herbs?

No, ACMA treatments are completely different from dietary supplement herbs.  ACMA treatments are professional medicine rather than dietary supplement herbs.
