Interesting.

April 4, 2006--A 20-year, arduous journey has come to an end for acupuncture and Oriental medicine practitioners and proponents living in Michigan. Governor Jennifer Granholm signed SB 351, the state's first law regulating acupuncture, into effect on Feb. 23, 2006, making Michigan the 41st state to implement laws regulating the practice of acupuncture. The first call of duty is to establish a board of esteemed licensed acupuncturists, physicians and two public members and establish NCCAOM as the certification commission for the state. Today, there are fewer than 100 NCCAOM-certified Diplomates practicing acupuncture in Michigan, but with the new law creating legal standards for the state, more are guaranteed to come.

This is a victory for alternative medicine in both that acupuncture is gaining currency around the country, and that more regulatory boards are ensuring the safety of its practice.
