Dr. Richard Niemtzow, a retired Air Force colonel.

Dr. Richard Niemtzow, a retired Air Force colonel from 779th Medical Group, said “There are people who still doubt this and I think they always will-- but for us who are in the clinic every day, we see people suffering from the war and from this or that and there’s nothing left to offer them. And we can put 50-cent needles in an individual’s ear, and they look at you and smile and say, ‘my God, I feel better!” Dr. Niemtzow taught a group of doctors during a workshop at the Air Force Acupuncture Center at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Dec. 9, 2010. The purpose of the class was to teach battlefield acupuncture to military physicians from Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
