The importance of regulating the education and training of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and a potential role for ISO/TC 249.

Abstract:

:As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) transcends its cultural boundaries and becomes widely used in many countries around the world, one of the major risks to the growing use of TCM internationally is the damage caused to its reputation and to community safety when TCM practitioners are not adequately trained. Ensuring the quality and competency of TCM practitioners is a fundamental requirement. This paper covers (1) the current level of regulation of education and training of TCM practitioners particularly in countries with well developed health systems; (2) the progress of self regulatory standards for education and training developed by international organizations and (3) the potential role of ISO/TC 249 in assisting these initiatives.

  • Pharmacokinetics of fructose-1,6-diphosphate after intraperitoneal and oral administration to adult rats.

    abstract::Exogenously administered fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) has been studied for its ability to protect tissue during hypoxia or ischemia. Recently, a clear effect of FDP on the central nervous system has raised the question whether FDP can get into the brain. FDP levels were measured in blood, brain, liver, kidney, muscl...
