OFA proposed, instead, a route
across Northern Ontario which
would not destroy prime
agricultural land. •
MacDonald assured OFA that
the proper place to make an
intervention 'against the
proposed -line was before the
National Energy Board.
"We were advised hearings
would be convened to hear both
pros and cons from which Energy
Board would make a decision and
forward recommendations, to the
Energy Minister," Hill says.
"At the great cost in people's
time and energy as well as in
farmers dollars, we played the
game according to the rules set
out brtheEnergy Minister,'" Hill
states.•

hearings, OFA has had

THE HURON EXPO 1TOR, JANUARY'16, 1975
We know that the history of
acupuncture 'dates back at least
35 centuries, because prehistoric
artists recoreded acupuncture
treatments by depicting them
through etchings on bones. Much
later. about 25 centuries ago, the.
first medical book was written in
China which included many
details of the practice of acupunc-
ture which was already ancient at
that time.
A,cupuncture in Cnada is not a
recent discovery. It has always
' been practised in Chinese com-
munities. However, in the last
few years, Western physicians
have been looking at the possible
benefits of this type of treatment,
and many have visited China for
actual demonstrations of acu-
puncture.
Because this type of treatment
is relatively new in Ontario, there
was no legislation covering the
practice • of acupuncturists
operating in this Province. As a--
result some "quackupuncturists"
set up shop and took, advantage of
unsuspecting patients who were
not relieved of their problems and
were still charged high fees for
services. ......,,, „ •
Up to now anyone could open
an office and insert needles into
people regardless of whether he
or she had any training in
acupuncutre. This was a poten-
tially dangerous situation for
several reasons. First of all, not
all acupuncturists were f6llowing
basic • rules of hygiene. The
Toronto Globe and Mail
. published a story about a Hamil-
ton acupuncturist,. who wad'
inserting needles through nylon
stockings. If conditions are 'not
completely sterile. there is a very
real danger of infection,. Another
danger of acupuncture at the
hands of someone who has not
received the proper training is
that the needle could accidently
puncture-a vital organ. Another
Concern is the possibility that
acupuncture might be used
'before expert medical diagnosis _
vitas been obtained. Without.such
' diagnosis proper ...medical care
could be delayed and serious
consequences to the individual
could result.
Last June the Goverdment took
the first step toward controlling
the practice of acuptineture in
Ontario. Health 'Minister. Frank
Miller stated it was a 'medical act

Farmers are damn mad about
premature announcement that
the Sarnia to Montreal pipeline
will be built, Gordon Hill,
president. Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, announced in
Toronto at noon
Hill pointed out that the
guarantee came from Energy
Minister Donald S. MacDonald
within two days of postponement„
of the hearings before the
National Energy Board.
"Since the NEB has not been
disbanded, we can only assume
CAbinet supports its existence
and is prepared to consider its
decisions, Hill points out.
If this is the case. MacDonald
has abandoned the principle of
Cabinet solidarity and on his own
is telling Ontario farmers in
effect, to "drop dead," Hill says.
MacDonald's .actions say he
cares nothing for farmers Views
on the pipeline route; he is not
prepared to listen to the National
Energy ,Board, or wait for it's
decisions before announcing his
own.
"If Cabinet supports the
Energy Board and believes in its
functions, then the Prime
Minister has no alternative, he
must remove MacDonald from
office," Hill says.
If the Prime Minister approves
'his Energy Minister's
high-handed pronouncements,
then he must disband the .
National 'Energy Board, Hill
continues.
"Farmers find other citizens

and could only be performed by a t
non-medical person on referral in
writing by a physician, thus
ensuring that a diagnosis has
been established. At ,that time
he announced three research
grants totalling $75,000 to assist
iii establishing the role of acu-
punCture in the delivery of health
care.
Unfortunately, the Minister's
directive in June did not do very
much to prevent the k:ontinuing
operation of the storefront acu•
puncturists he wanted to control.
Many of these people continued
to see patients without the written
referral of a physician. It became
very obvious that more stringent
controls were needed,
In July, Ontario acupuncturists
formed an As'sociation with
Hubert Lam as President. The
Association stated that it felt
acupuncturists should all be
licensed and disciplined by a
separate Board. This precipitated
a struggle between the medical
and non-medical acupuncturists
'be-Cause Ontario doctors wanted
to limit the practiCe of acupunc-
ture to licenced physidians. The
Acupuncture Foundation which
was composed of medical doctors,
urged 'physicians not to refer their
patients to lay acupuncturists.
At last on January 8, the Health
Minister came out with his long
awaited statement on the status
of acupuncture in this Province.
He said that the practice of
acupuncture will be, restricted to
physicians, dentists and specially
trained lay acupuncturists , who
have passed an examination and
are working under the supervi-
sion of a physician. This will put

most of Ontario's acupuncture
clinics, estimated to number
about 100, out of business, as. Mr.
Miller estimated only about 12 to
15 non-medical acupuncturists
will be able to pass the examina-
tion.
Last acupuncturists will be
required to submit to a training
course and special examination to
be administered by the College of
Physicians and Surgeons.
Although it is regarded as a
medical act. acupuncture will not
be covered by OHIP. However,
it scale of approved rates will be
drawn up by the Ontario 'Medical
Association. At the present time
people arc paying anywhere from
$10.00 to $35.00 per treatment. •
Hopefully, the new Government
regulations will , eliminate
Ontario's unwanted quackupunc-
turists by controlling who may or
may not practice this ancient
Chinese technique. -
Some question has arisen as to
why acupuncture will not be
covered by OHIP since the
College of Physicians and
Surgeons has accepted it as a
medical modality. I think the
answer to this is that not all
medical • procedures are fully
covered by OHIP. For example
chiropractic treatments are only
covered up to a maximum of $100
a year, and psychoterapy done by
psychologists is not covered at all.
The Minister of Health has stated
that it is not inconceivable that
some day acupuncture will be
covered by OHIP. However, the
task at hand is to determine the
real medical benefits of this—type
of treatment which although
ancient is not completely under -
stood.
