would be? If you can get any benefit out of a medical practice that does not try to medicate you with potentially harmful drugs I call it a victory.

I had one needle inserted into my leg at the end of an Chinese nutritional appointment just to see if i liked the treatment. My body slowly started to get numb and my hands totally seized up. It was a f**kin trip but very enjoyable and i felt absolutely amazing afterwords. Cant wait for my next appointment next week. =)

which one?

acupuncture would be a decent medical practice if they could decouple it from the supernatural.

There are locators on the market. I’ve no idea how they work though.

Hi, it’s different for most people and also where the needles are placed. Most people fill nothing, or a tingle or scratch. Sometimes it’s actually is quite painful, but only for a moment. Once the needles are in, then most people feel very relaxed and may even sleep. It’s worth trying if you have a problem but try to find one recommended to you, Like with all types of job, there are people of varying skill out there.

calm down Amy!
Don’t breathe so fast.
I think this idea of Acupuncture began with observing nature, know what chi is and then what it does.
For anyone who doubt this system, you simply need to go and try this.

The needles stimulate internal nerve system to release body natural pain relieve chemical know as endorphin.
An acupuncturist needs to know which part of internal area need to be fix and where that nerve system is link to the outside skin location(s). Modern acupuncture uses electricity to help amplify stimulation the nerve.
It is not a cure for all sickness so modern Western treatment should also be consider.

Placebo effects are not as “flimsy” as you may have been taught to think. Placebo effect is the human mind healing the body by suggestion, which is far SAFER and far more awesome than Western Medicine.

Then why don’t you try it for yourself and YOU decide whether it works or not. Stop with the blinded studies and use YOUR OWN experience to see if it works. Think for yourself ! Experience will tell you whether it works !

My mom got acupuncture on her back. She told me that she felt great and she didn’t have to take her pain medication all weekend long. So, I believe it. I hate that we can’t explain HOW or WHY it works, but it does. *shrug*

elephant funk bands of the early ’70’s.
the ‘Funky Trunk’ movement.
right? or did I get the wrong script?

Wow what are you guys talking about?
I wanna know more!

and ponder this – when a needle is inserted into GB 37 (a point on the leg used to treat eye conditions), fMRI’s show activity in the brain that is almost identical to what is observed in the same subjects when a light is flashed in their eyes… and there are other studies that clearly demonstrate chemical activity that is not merely ‘endorphines’ – ie, the fertility studies….
just confess – you haven’t studied the research, or taken courses in the methodologies.
stop being a fake.

..it is literally impossible for a behaviorist to not know if he is performing an intervention – and yet there is a sophisticated set of techniques to measure efficacy of interventions, right on down to the single subject design, reversals, etc.
i don’t know who brainwashed you so, but you must understand – you are only of the BELIEF that there is only one way to do science, and that belief is hardly universal, or even logical.
Fleecing people?
Seriously consider fucking yourself, prick.

Ok. Tell me your ideas.
Although you are completely wrong about your fundamentalist clinging to one methodology of scientific validation. Sorry, but you just are.
But please – tell me – how do you blind the practitioner? What techniques and materials would you use?
I’ve studied this problem. I really have. I’m eager to put acupuncture to the tests of science – but you are simply mistaken to cling to one methodology.
As I may have mentioned, consider, for example, Behaviorism…

I can think of a few ways to do a blind study.
And it IS the only way of separating effective treatments from placebo effects. You aren’t interested in truth, you just want your hobby/job to do well. ‘Alternative medicine’ is all about fleecing the gullible.

It’s physically impossible to completely achieve a double blind placebo condition in acupuncture. Furthermore, you are wrong if you believe that is the only valid method of gathering data on effective treatments.
Sorry, but you’re not as clever as you might think.
You don’t care about science, or finding effective treatments – you’re just an arrogant ass.

I found no properly controlled blinded studies done on acupuncture, Next?
November 9th, 2009 at 5:06 am
this video IS a bit silly.
of course acupuncture works on biomedical pathways – there is no need to believe in Qi, per say, to observe that acupuncture can achieve results for some patients with some conditions…. in fact, not all acupuncturists believe in meridians, either … furthermore, this ‘5 element’ style’ is anything but mainstream in the field today….pretty esoteric (being nice).

lie?
you have a research deficiency…
go to pubmed. learn.

never mind her rambling explanation…
go read ‘the web that has no weaver’ by ted kaptchuk if you want a lucid and rational description of acupuntcure. even those with zero background on the subject will find it informative.
