Acupuncture is political,

HoWick 'Lions hold Bingo
Acupuncture is political,
Darwin Semotiuk, London,
Professor of Physical Education
at the University of Western
Ontario, told the Public Health
Nurse's of Huron County at a
staff conference held in Seaforth
Friday.
He said the creation of acu-
puncture, anaethesia, is an ex-
ample of the good results which
come from carrying out Chair-
man Mao's instruction on com-
bining Chinese and Western
Medicine and taking China's own
road in the development of medi-
cine. It is a great victory for
Chairman Mao's proletarian line
in health work and scientific re-
search, he said.
Mr. Semotiuk spent a month
on a Sport and Physical Culture
tour in the People's Republic of
China in May 1972, visiting
factories, hospitals, schools,
communes, etc. He showed
slides of pictures taken while
there and gave an account of his
thoughts and impressions on what
is happening in the country.
Mr. Semotiuk provided an
overview of China prior to the
birth of the People's Republic of
China and then of the way of
life in modern day China.
He said for the past two de-
cades the main emphasis in medi-
cine is preventative medicine and
that health work should primarily
serve the masses of the labouring
people, the workers, peasants
and soldiers. He said too the
stress is put on the rural areas
- where 80 per cent of the populat-
ion lives.
After outlining the health pro—
gram, the training of nurses and
doctors and the achievements in
medicine he explained acu-
puncture, which he said perhaps
could be regarded as one of the
most significant breakthroughs
in modern medicine. China's
medical and scientific workers
have created acupuncture anaes-
thesia by applying modern scien-
tific knowledge and methods and
summing up 'and improving on
the experience of traditional
Chinese mediCine in stopping
pain and curing ailments with
needling.
Acupuncture is political, he
said as he outlined the history
of it as first appearing in 200 BC
for the treatment of pain. Since
1958 it has really developed and
expanded.
Mr. Semotiuk. explained the
theory behind acupuncture which
to the western mind seems more
metaphysical than medical. A
brief outline of the details he
gave, is that life energy flows
from organ to organ through the
network of channels beneith the
skin called meridians. There are
twelve meridians running on
either side of the body that re-
present the organs, the two
"extra" meridians, one along the
centre in the front of the body and
one in the back.
He explained that arrayed
along the network of meridians
are 500 to 800 specific poInts
that the acupuncturist must learn
to pierce with his needles to cor-
rect imbalances in the flow of
life energy. Following a complex
group of laws regarding the re-
lationship between the various
organs, he may twirl his needles
in points along several meridians
in order to alleviate a disorder
in one organ.
He said the needles vary from
half an inch to several inches in
length and the depth of insertion
as well as the way they are
twirled and vibrated affects the
treatment.
Mr. Semotiuk said he had had
them inserted in his hand and the
insertion was painless. Recovery
was much like the freezing com-
ing out after dental work.
He explained that acupuncture
is being used as an anaesthetic,
as a pain killer, in the treatment
of rheumatism, deaf-mutes and '
paralysis following polio-
myelitis.
Mr. Semotiuk spoke of the
centres in Canada and the Unit4d
States where acupuncture is being
studied and used. He was most en-
thusiastic as he spoke of major
operations •he has watched where
it was used as an anaesthetic and
the patient remained comfortable
and fully conscious during the
surgery.
Mr. Semotiuk concluded his
talk by saying there is a populai
phrase in the new China ""we
should strive to learn from the
people of the world', and he said
it would appear that we should
be adopting a similar philosophy
when dealing with the question of
acupuncture, for Western
medicine has much to learn from
the People's Republic of China.
