Acupuncture for peripheral neuropathy: Matthew Bauer

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 19 octobre 2023 • Durée 58:18

We were delighted to welcome Matthew Bauer on the podcast to discuss the evidence base of acupuncture for peripheral neuropathy. Also don't miss Matthew's summary of the most important research ever done on acupuncture!

Matthew Bauer became interested in Chinese Medicine after becoming a student of a 74th generation Taoist Master and traditional Chinese Doctor in 1978. He became licensed as an Acupuncturist in 1986 and opened his Chinese Medicine practice in California that same year.

Matthew developed a passion for educating people about the benefits of acupuncture and became active in acupuncture/Chinese medicine organizations thinking those organizations would have public outreach as a primary goal. When that proved not to be the case, Matthew authored a book for the public exploring the roots and practice of acupuncture titled “The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture”. He later authored another book for acupuncturists on practice building titled “Making Acupuncture Pay”.

In 2014, while still in full time practice seeing around 20 patients a day, Matthew formed the Acupuncture Now Foundation (the ANF) – a for the public benefit charitable organization with the goal of educating the public, healthcare providers, and health policymakers about the practice of acupuncture. Matthew feels the ANF vision statement sums up his goals best – “Creating a world where the benefits of acupuncture are known and available to all.”

As part of that vision, Matthew became interested in acupuncture research especially the potential for false negatives due to studies using sub-optimal treatment dosages. Matthew has a particular interest in acupuncture dosage and recently co-authored a journal article on the subject “Is Acupuncture Dose Dependent - Ramifications of acupuncture treatment dose within clinical practice and trials”.

About Vivien
Vivien is an acupuncturist and anatomist who lives and works in Anglesey. For 10 years, She has been researching the idea that the original acupuncture texts describe the physical human body rather than something more esoteric based on energy.

The anatomist’s job is to look at the body, and then share that knowledge more widely. Vivien has used her unique combination of skills in both acupuncture and anatomy to first find out, and then show what the original acupuncture texts are describing.

Her work demonstrates the strong scientific basis for acupuncture that was developed through dissection and anatomical examination by early Han dynasty anatomists over 2,000 years ago. Vivien is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC).

Strap in for this one folks as we take a deep dive into the role of purinergic signalling, ATP and mitochondria in acupuncture. We also put acupuncture's clinical research into the context; comparative effectiveness with other treatments and its safety profile compared to common drug side effects.
