Chinese Medicine Gaining Respectability

As a third year student and the light of graduation seems slightly brighter (in addition to the blinding light of the boards), I appreciate greatly that the profession I love and am committed to unconditionally is gaining notoriety. I feel there is a significant momentum of the practice, as it is being incorporated into the greater medical community. More education, information and exposure to TCM is prevalent and individuals are seeking it out, experiencing the medicine and sharing these experiences with others. Ideally, such people have had positive interactions and further support the efficacy of our medicine. Although this particular article did have an antagonist to TCM, it is 'good press' and as these articles make their way into published journals and periodicals or newspapers, I believe it will continue to support the profession, thus gaining respectability.
