'I Have to Take the Toxins Out'

'I Have to Take the Toxins Out'

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CN) - After a patient dozed off during a massage, she awoke horrified to find her acupuncturist sucking on her breasts and vagina, telling her, "I have to take the toxins out," the woman claims in court.

Dacia Ayala sued Chan Joon Park, Union Acupuncture & Natural Healing Clinic, and New Life Acupuncture & Natural Healing Clinic in Orange County Court.

Ayala says she sought acupuncture from defendant Park based on her mother's positive experience as his patient. Her first visit consisted of "cupping" treatments and a massage on her bare back, she says in the complaint.

On her second visit, Park "showed plaintiff an anatomy book and directed plaintiff that she rub her breasts and tummy when (she) is at home. Park then had plaintiff completely disrobe and stand up naked in front of Park, and Park told plaintiff to pray as he applied acupuncture needles to her person. Park talked a lot about self-affirmation and praying to plaintiff. Park had plaintiff lay on her back, and Park began to massage and palpitate plaintiff's breasts and body," according to the complaint.

Ayala went back for a third time, during which Park massaged her naked body, "this time going below the waist and to her inner thighs, and also slipping his hands in between her buttocks," she states in the complaint.

There is no alternative medicine. There is just medicine, based on science. When one abandons those principles all sorts of lunacy can happen.

My question is whether this Park guy is still be practicing his trade of groping his women patients. An MD would be struck off the rolls pretty damned quickly.

But, apparently with alternative medicine it's all good. This woman went back to this guy before she figured out what was happening?

But what's the harm.
