A.P.A.E. TEAM
Dear Colleagues,
We have the honour to belong to the M.D. doctors group of the A.P.A.E. - Associação Portuguesa de Acupunctura Eléctrica, whose policy, untill today, has been to promote the teaching of Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Electric Acupuncture to the medical class only.
The recognition and the practice of Acupuncture has been growing in Portugal and the contribution of our Association with the support of Dr. Mitsuharu Tsuchiya has always been very strong.
Together with Dr. Mitsuharu Tsuchiya, we have been investigating, developing and made several presentations at WFAS Academic Congresses and International Symposiums, focusing the importance of Acupuncture to treat: Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson Disease, Behçet Syndrome, Atopic Dermatitis, Sjogren Syndrome, Ophtalmologic pathologies, and sports injuries. The association of Acupuncture with the high frequency method has showed to be very effective.
For a long time one of our main objectives is to prove that Western Medicine and Eastern Medicine must be complementar and not opposite. Our main concern is and will always be the well-being of those who look for our help and we also think that public health care systems must also give their support for those who need an alternative method of treatment.
We are convinced that during this Symposium we will all have the chance to exchange experiences, knowledge, informations and we sincerely expect a lot fom the scientific communications, posters and mainly from the workshops to be presented.
We have the greatest pleasure to welcome all colleagues, acupuncture doctors and researchers who give their contribution for the development and approach of both Medicines Western and Eastern Medicines, creating new ways, giving new worlds to the World.
With best wishes
The M.D. doctors group of the A.P.A.E. - Associação Portuguesa de Acupunctura Eléctrica |
