[Acupuncture-students] integration of Acupuncture into the NHS

[Al Stone]

There's a saying in forensic investigations (murder) and that is to 
"follow the money" which apparently will lead you to the murderer or 
the person who is most likely going to profit from a murder.

Integration of TCM or acupuncture into a national health care program 
is going to be, first and foremost, a financial and economic decision. 
Acupuncture treating pain in the lower back is much cheaper than a 
surgery.

Researching this kind of information will yield insight into the 
benefit of acupuncture within our healthcare system.
