Attention !
24 until May 30, 2010
The TCM - Social Forum offers a platform for various global relief projects, in which Chinese Medicin is playing an essential role. Ethical and moral policies are regarded essential for the projects to be supported.
That includes, that those projects are non profit objects. The traditional culture and the dignity of the local people will be respected. Integration instead of manipulation should be the way!
Chinese Medicine can give aid under the most difficult coditions and with minimal financial effort. Regarding in view of the shortage of medicaments in developing countries, the necessary independence in medicine is difficult to achieve.
The financial misery of poor people afford not even a primary health care. In order to change this situation, acupuncture proves to be a partycularly appropriate method of treatment. It is a very effective and low cost medicine. Chinese medicine can be used preventively or even curatively. It allows considerable savings compared to expensive and often not available western drugs, and the mostly non existent diagnostic facilities (laboratory, radiology, etc.)
In only a short time a simple basis of acupuncture can be teached to local nurses, midwives, MD‘s and other various kinds of therapists. Further on patients can be trained in Qi Gong. This will give them a relative independence to other medical healthcare, so to be able to help themselves.
We would like to contribute in finding volunteers, donators and sponsors and to encourage exchange of information amongst individual operators of projects.
