Why is there no mention of this modality being a pseudo-science? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.161.53.229 (talk) 04:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Veterinary Acupuncture and Veterinary Acupuncture History goes further more beyond what is or ever was donne in the U.S.A. regarding this subject.

Creating a topic on such a wide subject and describing it only according to IVAS activities and understanding, seams to me selfish and being underestimating other countries and organizations activities. Besides leaving aside the own birth-country of Acupunture and Veterinary Acupuncture, it also leaves behind countries such us Australia, Brasil, Israel, Germany, France, Italy, Chile, amongst many others who have been activelly involved in the teatching and practice of veterinary acupuncture throught their own organizations besides IVAS.

This title should be revised or changed from "Veterinary Acupuncture" to "IVAS" or to "Veterinary Acupuncture in the U.S.A.", because this things are not exactly the same and it does not seam nice for any kind of professional organization to claim it for itself, as it concerns to an ancient worldknown medical practice and world medical knowledge that does not belong to no one but it regards us all!

If this is about Veterinary Acupuncture probably who wrote this should be saying something about it instead, such as fundamental principles, neurophysiology, traditional chinese approach and understanding to acupuncture, benefits, conditions treatable, last advances, and so on.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vetholistica (talk • contribs) 20:32, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fact is that the work that was done in the U.S.A. in the early 1970's and 1980's set a standard that then had rippling effects throughout the world. But that aside, the article was entitled 'Veterinary Acupuncture' because that is what this is about. The first section is on the U.S. This should not keep others from Europe and Asia and Australia,etc. from contributing. This is the place where they should contribute and add to the information. Don't complain about it, do something about it. April 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acudoc27 (talk • contribs) 23:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page is absurd. I totally agree with other comments. I tried to edit it earlier, as another colleague had mentioned its incorrect, but all my hard work was immediately erased by bots. Unbelievable. XMiSSiL (talk) 03:56, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @XMiSSiL:, Your edits were not reverted by bots. They were reverted by other editors who disagreed with your changes. You can discuss them here and gain consensus if you want them re-added. --McSly (talk) 17:39, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Veterinary acupuncture/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This article is historically incorrect. It's Richard Glassberg not Alan Glassberg. The first acupuncturist to work with Dr. Glassberg was Dr. Sang H. Shin. Then later John Ottaviano. The first veterinary acupuncture association formed was the National Association for Veterinary Acupuncture. Phil Rogers (philrogers@eircom.net) wrote an excellent and accurate history of veterinary acupuncture in the US which could be obtained from him.
