This isn't a typical episode, but I have felt the need to get this issue out there for a while now. Part 1 of 2. 

Discussion points include the pros and cons of registration in Australia, what our system means for how we can advertise Chinese medicine - essentially speak about how we use it, and WHY are we agreeing for Chinese medicine to be measured and evaluated with a different system of medicine -the biomedical model. Happy to have more of a chat about this on the channel in future episodes, as mentioned in the episode, email below. 

If your a student of TCM (or a disillusioned practitioner) I think you will find this interesting.

IMPORTANT: This video, as with all videos on the The Chinese Medicine Podcast are NOT a replacement for a health professional diagnosis. While Marie may answer your questions, all answers are not of a professional consultation level - it is impossible to check your pulse through the internet, hence Chinese medicine cannot be practiced properly through the internet. If you have any undiagnosed symptoms, or changes in your health condition The Chinese Medicine Podcast urges you to see your own doctor, GP, Chinese medicine practitioner, acupuncturist or other health professional as appropriate. If it is an emergency call 000 in Australia. If you are unsure if this advice is appropriate for your individual situation ask your own practitioner before applying any diet or lifestyle techniques /concepts discussed in this video.   Marie Hopkinson and The Chinese Medicine Podcast wishes you the best of health and improvement in your own health journey.
