(Kuangchou Medicine University and Hokushin Association)

My acupuncture master will leave for Kuangchou in China tomorrow.
Prof. Tou Tettou in Kuangchou Medicine University who is cooperated with Hokushin association will receive the Chinese medical saint from the government. That is why the master leaves for China to celebrate him.

When any is connected means coincidence and mysterious.
We often understand later that the coincidence becomes inevitability.

The video of the documentary program named “100 years of Chinese medicine” was shown by Mr. Sugimoto who is a Chinese teacher of Hokushin association in 2007.
The SARS case in 2003 was shown in that.
Prof. Tou Tettou declared that chance of the Chinese Medicine came, while Western medicine doctors were fighting hard. He accomplished to prevent the world pandemic by using the Chinese Medicine.
He has passion and conviction to Chinese medicine though he is old. I got to know his existence with impression.

When the master Renfu was reading a book written by Tou Tettou, he found his own name in the book in several days. Master Renfu is a specialist who finds the law, and develops the tongue analyzing among a lot of clinical experiences and the book of tongue analyzing is published.
Tou Tettou paid attention how great the master Renfu’s tongue analyzing and introduced it in the book.

The exchange meeting was set quickly through a Chinese teacher, and the academic exchange was achieved on the 24th of September in 2007.
I went to Chinese Medicine University in Kuangchou to attend the academic exchange with impression and the expectation two years ago.

(Chinese medical saint)

According to Chinese Prof. Masako Sugimoto, to elect the Chinese medical saint seems to have been set as part of the Chinese medicine promotion plan that had started from policy the support of the medicine business development at the 6th meeting of the 16th term in Chinese Communist Party.
Main conditions to become Chinese medical saint are: 1) more than 55 years at clinical experience 2) be refined, praised and respected by all people 3) to contribute the development of Chinese medicine with having strong responsibility and mission 4) to contribute the excellent science result and to succeed the experience without any hesitation, and so on.
Both wonderful characters and technologies are requested.
The people who were elected in vast China this time are only 30.

(Chinese and Western Medicine General Hospital)

It tends to actually incline at Western medicine though it is thought that there are a lot of people who have the image of treatment by acupuncture and Chinese medicine in China.
Therefore, there is a crisis that younger successors can’t be taught technologies by excellent Chinese medicine doctors. This is the present condition in China.

I went to have a look the hospital named “Chinese and Western Medicine General Hospital” in China 7 years ago.
“Chinese and Western Medicine General Hospital” means that Chinese medicine doctors and western medicine doctors work together of course, but …
They are in the only same hospital actually, and there is a doubt whether they discuss each other or cooperate or not.

As the idea of the medical treatment is quite different in Western medicine and the Oriental medicine, it doesn’t naturally advance ahead in a simple controversy that either is good easily.

Gentle eyes trying to watch inside the human being and minds respecting to man originally having a wonderful marvelous recovery power ･･･
(To be able to cure the sickness of course)

Now, only the doctor who has both this two actually is an important factor for the patient. The patient has already felt this, I think.

I would like to believe that the exchange of Hokushin association and China is run-ups.
It is the time when it cannot help reviewing the world of acupuncture more and more.
I want sincerely to pray that visiting China will be no accident and become the enhanced further man exchange.
