Recently, the famous Dr. Andrew Weil offered a peculiar observation (at his self-named website) on the practice of facial acupuncture.  Responding to a patient's solicitaion of his thoughts on the subject, he said, "I am not a proponent of procedures that interfere with the normal aging process."  Could Dr. Weil be confusing Eastern medicine with Western?  Offhanded comments such as Dr. Weil's, offered in a public forum, can be damaging to the acupuncture profession.  This fact is not lost on facial acupuncture teacher Mary Elizabeth Wakefield, L.Ac., MSMM.  To view Weil's remarks and the comments Wakefield submitted in reply, click here.
