RESUMEN
The 2nd Hwa To International Symposium (Integration of Eastern & Western Medicine) was held in Amsterdam on the 23rd & 24th of September 2006. “Hwa To” is a name of a famous ancient Chinese doctor, and the sponsor of this symposium is “Hwa To International University of T.C.M.” in Amsterdam. About 200 members participated from 19 countries, and as Japanese speakers Mr. Seino and Watanabe were invited. As the drawing up of the abstract book was not in time for the opening of the symposium, the contents of presentations were not clear except the name of speakers and their themes. Most of the presentations were lecture, and almost all of the lectures were expressed in English, and there were no loss of time by translation from Chinese to English which is usual in the assemblies of WFAS.<br>The atmosphere of the symposium or the titles of the card of Prof. Rangkuti suggested me that the European society of acupuncture has a tendency to keep aloof from WFAS.
