Ouvery interesting program last Thursday was Heicam Yan from the San Marcos Community Acupuncture Clinic, 1205 Hwy 123, Suite 202, San Marcos TX.  She first of all explained that acupunture refers to the insertion of fine needles into particular points on the body selected according to the theories and principles of Chinese Medicine.  Acupuncture is thought to harness the body;'s powerful healing mechanisms and is therefore virtually free of harmful side effects.  In fact, due to its generalized actions, acupuncture often has the side effects of improving other health issues that were not specifically being treated.  Those members who were in attendance were: Doug Balkman, Chester Banks, Del Brown (Marie Brown, wife of Del),Frederick Case, Randy & Pam Cook, Steve Furney, Rob Martin (glad he's feeling better), Gary Nelson, Lon Shell, Kelli Whigham, Sam Brannon, Ted Breihan, Beverly Crumley, Andrew Gary, Moe Johnson, John Polk, Glen Rydyl, Gary Strunk, and McBride Wilson.
