Re: Acupunture and "sick energy"
Good for your oncologist !! It is great that he/she wants to communicate with other members of your health care team.
My naturopath/acupuncturist/Chinese medicine doc always tells me what is in the things he prescribes and answers all my questions about those things and any other concerns I may have. I don't take anything or do anything without learning about that product or medical procedure. My medical professionals know this.
My naturopath is also willing to communicate with the other members of my health care team. They have referred people to him occassionally.
All licensed medical professionals including M.D's, acupuncturists, naturopaths, DO's, chiropractors, doctors of Chinese medicine and every other medical specialty can be checked to see if there are any issues related to that person. Some states will disclose information about medical professionals. There are also professional medical societies and associations where a person can check on the background of a medical professional. If all else fails there are always sites like healthgrades.com and drscore.com.
Patients can also make complaints about unethical practices or problems related to the medical care we receive. You may not want to go this route. However, if you are considering seeing another acupuncturist in the future you might want to check the background of that person before you make an appointment.
You are wise to be concerned about the tea and acupuncturist. I would be too !!
Take good care of yourself.
