  On March 14, 2001, Sjogren's syndrome patient Kim Vaughn and Dr. Stuart Kassan testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies
  ...
  Dr. Stuart Kassan is a MD and clinical professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver.And past chair of the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation's Medical and Scientific Advisory Board.He provided the hard facts about Sjogren's syndrome and discussed the opportunities at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research to help the 2 to 4 million Americans who have this disease.Most of those are women of middle age and older, although anyone can have Sjogren's.It can cross all age, sex, racial and socioeconomic boundaries.
  
  A first and important step by Congress was establishing the Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee at the National Institutes of Health or NIH.This committee is especially important for a disease such as Sjogren's syndrome, which crosses many specialties and institutes.In fact, some aspect of Sjogren's research could legitimately be covered by almost every one of the institutes at NIH
  ...
  Dr. Kassan asked the committee to encourage NIH to increase its attention to Sjogren's syndrome.Sjogren's is considered one of the most prevalent autoimmune diseases, is an ideal scientific model, and yet over and over again it is ignored.
  
  The Foundation is working to change the visibility of and attention for Sjogren's syndrome, and hopes after its testimony that committee members of the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies, will recognize the importance of this disease.
  
  Finally, Dr, Kassan urged congressional members to consider research costs not just in dollars, but the human cost, the tremendous burden of disease on families, and especially the specific burden of a prevalent and devastating disease --Sjogren's syndrome.

  "It's really almost mainstream now," says Stuart S. Kassan, M.D., a rheumatologist in private practice in Denver who became an acupuncturist in 1996. "It's safe when done properly, and can be very helpful for pain."
  
  However, Dr. Kassan says, many doctors do remain skeptical. "Some roll their eyes and say they can't believe I'm doing acupuncture," he says.

  it be really almost mainstream now, says Stuart S. Kassan, MD, a rheumatologist in private practice in Denver who became an acupuncturist in 1996.it be safe when done properly, and can be very helpful for pain..
  
  However, Dr. Kassan says, many doctors do remain skeptical.Some roll their eyes and say they can not believe i be doing acupuncture, he says.But rheumatologists see a lot of patients with problems we can not do anything about, especially chronic pain.We all become very frustrated.And this is where acupuncture makes its greatest impact : with patients who have failed conventional treatment..
  
  ...
  In the beginning, acupuncture's pain-relieving effects may last a week or less, Dr. Kassan admits.But after four or five weekly treatments, many patients find they can progressively decrease the frequency and end up with monthly treatments.It may also decrease the need for pain medications..
  
  Other advocates believe acupuncture's effects may go beyond temporary pain relief.Acupuncture is a stimulus that can help repattern the body and help break the chronic pain syndrome, says Ka-Kit Hui, MD, an internist and clinical pharmacologist who is director of the integrated Center for East-West Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.It can also stimulate circulation and people can be taught acupressure massage to help themselves, he says.
