Forward. A man who will usually sleep soundly for 45 minutes during his acupuncture treatments was beckoning me over to his recliner only a short while after I had initially left him. “I've got an idea for a book you're going to write”. AD whispered quickly, urging me to write down the title and general idea that came to him. “Write it like you say it to everyone”, he directed. I immediately appreciated his idea, and loved the fact that it was inspired during a treatment. Some of my own best thinking has been done in the twilight of acupuncture treatments as well. AD had recently come to discover and love acupuncture. In particular, he was fond of the Community Acupuncture clinic model that allowed him to afford regular treatments. He also made sure to mention how much he appreciated the transparency, sense of humor, frank talk and casual culture of the community clinics he'd visited. After I nodded to affirm that I got it all down on paper, he closed his eyes and eased back alongside several others in a scene that would repeat itself day after day in our clinic and in an increasing numbers of community clinics around the country, over the following months. It is due to the hundreds of people we see each week in our clinic for whom acupuncture is something very new - and thousands experiencing it for the first time elsewhere - that I decided to follow through with this project. This while also knowing how useful information like this would've been for me as a newer practitioner in years past. I have not come by such a direct and practical question and answer collection like my friend AD has proposed - and certainly not with an emphasis on the burgeoning Community Acupuncture social-business/justice movement. I'm wanting this information to speak to new friends who may ask similar questions over the next few years; the years before widespread access to affordable acupuncture allows millions to get themselves treatments as readily as we now can grab a slice of pizza and a cup of coffee in our neighborhoods; when a book like this may not be needed any longer.
