Intent:

I recognize the fact that I am practicing medicine not of my ancestral lineage. I give all respect and honor to the East Asian cultures from which this medicine comes. I make it a point to support businesses owned by AAIP folks. If you would like to support these businesses, please visit my resource page dedicated to this.
