Does Acupuncture Work?

E² Acupuncture Science Since 2600BC Any skeletal muscle pain can be easily cured by Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture.

For 4,610 years (2600BC), Yellow Explorer's time. Until now acupuncturist continues this ancient TCM practice to eliminating all diseases (trying). All the main hospitals of China use this to treat most patients as busy as KFC fast food.

Acupuncture treatment will has needling sensation effect for first few days. This called “DE Qi/Chi” (Arrival of Oxy’Blood---needling sensation). it must be achieved so that Yin & Yang(Negative and Positive energy) can be balanced and body’s immune system has strengthens, else diseases can’t be eliminated. The fundamental manipulating techniques are Lifting and thrusting & Twirling or rotating. TCM Acupuncture therapeutic works and easily cures muscular pain if apply correctly.

Beside sciatica(more trials needed), all others skeletal muscle pains are not recorded in TCM text therefore no “Acupoints(???)” can be provided to any acupuncturist as that they need to advancing the practice and pick the right AcuPoints.

Be respectful, Acupuncture is not a device or voodoo magic, it does not release any things (certainly not endorphins, inflammation, etc, ..) or anti-inflammatory agents. Please do not mislead. It is a marvelous 4,610+ years old, micro surgical tool, etc, .

“An acupuncture is bad science”. not much can be expected in 4,610 years ago, science not even exist. Good science & Resources only available from 1850AD such great scientists: Heinrich Hertz (1887) & Albert Einstein (1905). Since 2005 E² Acupuncture has added a new chapter of modem acupuncture science. which has scientific proven, formulated, verified and even dispelling the amount of excessive Yins/-Toxin can be calculated. Treatment uses single new save disposal and painless micro-needle insertion to proper “Acupoints(??)” and has no side effects, least risk mainly due to accident same as any treatments. No Lifting and thrusting & Twirling or rotating manipulating needed so that patients can comfortably having a cup of tea/coffee.

Acupuncturist must fully understood the Five Elements(五行), Five Changes(五变) and Five Shu/Transports(五输/通) Yin & Yang balance principles. if any one treated by 5 X 30 minutes in 2 weeks and has no relief by 4 weeks, please discontinues and look into others illness.

I have my Plantar fasciitis cured twice by my own EE Acupuncture, last cured was on march/2011 since then pain remains free and no sign of coming back. (E²/EE: Eliminates Excessive Yins/-Toxin/Electrons)

"Been feeling the slight tenderness in the area where the needle were inserted. Felt my legs is tired but not the numbness." (50% pain relief, 100% no numbness)

5 weeks Later (email on 4th/11/2011): "Seems to be fine, slight tenderness but definitely better than before" (now 90% cure)

Thursday 8/18/2011 I will have my first acupuncture treatment for 14 years of uncontrolled(with meds) HTN(hypertension). I am a RN and I am so disheartened with my experiences with western medicine and its practitioners. I had to tell them what tests to order to measure things that could be causing my labile HTN. I have changed my diet, lost weight, exercised to no permanent solution to keep my BP from going up to 200/120 at times. I am a believer that every ailment has a cause, but, western med only wants to treat the symptoms. In the process of taking these meds, the hydrochlorathiazide I believe made me diabetic. There is no diabetes in either side of my family. I noticed when I started taking it, my blood sugars slowly started creeping upwards. I can not take any more of these meds because they will kill me. I have had episodes where my BP was critically high, but yet there was no damage to my eyes or kidneys and I am attributing that to the protective effects of the supplements, exercise,herbs and diet. I came to this modality(acupuncture) because the western doctors and their medicine could not keep my blood pressure controlled and I am developing co-morbid conditions. I have changed meds several times and then made a big mistake in December of 2010 switching from Hyzaar to the generic. My blood pressure became totally uncontrolled. I had to take Valerian, Garlic and vinegar to gain some control of it. So I am hoping that this treatment will get me back into balance and health. After a few treatments I will post whether this has been helpful or not.

If acupuncture is simply a placebo I would love to see the pharmaceutical industry include it as a third control in all of their studies. One of the senior execs at Smith Glaxo Kline stated that 90% of drugs only work 30-50% of the time. Acupuncture is easily that effective for most conditions .

For the deniers, no evidence will ever satisfy their belief about the placebo effect. I surrender to their stubbornness and not their reasoning. But, if a placebo is better than current therapies hopefully they would still agree it should be available as an option, perhaps even the first choice. One can only hope.

There is a similar type of quackery going on in the chiropractic field. We did a story on that:

"A tale of intrigue, featuring quackery, shady NUCCA* chiropractors, and "manual manipulation" brought to you by Samuel Homola, D.C." http://3healthymonkeys.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/nucca-national-upper-cervical-chiropractic-association-nonsense /

*National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association

regardless of its roots in pre-scientific medicine , acupuncture still serves as a compelling cure to those who are willing to pay money for someone to stick needles in them.

ACUPUNCTURE CAN WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE.I FOR YOU HAVE NO USE FOR IT.
BUT IF IT WORKS FOR YOU GO FOR IT.

Thanks to acupuncture, my migraines have reduced the frequency, intensity, and lingering pain between attacks. It was much more effective than Midrin, Topamax, Imitrex, and some other medicines I've taken to try to control them.

Can't argue with those results. Natural medicine (including acupuncture) is the way to go!!! Don't go with synthesized drugs whose only job is to make you sicker so you need more drugs and then Big Pharma, greedy doctors, and the FDA pad their pocket books off of your misfortunes!!!

Some of the treatments I have received have worked and some have not.
Acupuncture has about a 755 success rate for me.
This is about 3 times more successful than traditional Western medicine.

I am a long time sufferer of migraines and also some sinus related conditions. I have been through umpteen drug regimens for both of these conditions and acupuncture made a HUGE difference for me.

My husband suffers from RLS - Restless Leg Syndrome. He has an Rx for Requip which has been marginally successful but acupuncture provided better and more immediate results. Within 3 weeks of going for treatments, the RLS practically ceased to exist. He is going to go to our MD to discuss and evaluate his treatment regimen. I am just thhankful that my husband was helped and that we have an MD who was fine with acupuncture treatments.

I started acupuncture treatments about 6 years ago for fibromyalgia and asthma. With each acupuncture treatment my breathing improved so that after a couple of months I threw away my inhaler and was breathing more freely than when I had been on the medication. When I changed primary care physicians and gave him my history he tested my breathing and said he would never have known I had had asthma. Acupuncture along with chiropractic, massage therapy, reiki, and vitamin/diet therapy changed my life for the better. Traditional medicine had nothing to help the fibromyalgia, acupuncture and other alternative therapies did.

If you made me choose between the two, today I would opt for Acupuncture and other forms of alternative medicine. My acupuncturist has helped me quit smoking. I've been smoke free for about 20 months now. I did not use any prescription medication or over the counter remdies. I had tried to quit smoking before using the patch, without success. One of my biggest concerns was that I would gain weight in the process. Today I weigh 12lbs less than the day I quit.

In the process of finding some food intolerances I have probably had for years, I have learned about antibiotics, candida yeast, sleep disturbances and more. Through this form of alternative medicine I have been empowered to take charge of my own health and get advice, guidance and treatment from time to time.

An acupuncture treatment costs 75% less than an office call, lasts longer and provides insight and results. In the event I become one more American without health insurance, I feel that I have a less expensive form of care that is more in tune with the results based treatment we are beginning to hear more about.

Having worked in Massage Therapy for 24 years and Nursing for 9 years I think it fair to say that I have seen more than the average number of cases wherein Western Medicine has not worked as claimed and people have sought help with conditions which respond better to alternative therapies; meaning more than just drugs and surgery.
Western medicine itself has a history of being wrong-minded and holding itself out to be expert in the field of healthcare so that they are living in a glass house and throwing stones; which begets an invitation to return the favor.
Suffice it to say that many of the drugs being prescribed are being done on an experimental basis with the belief that the doctor is in fact prescribing correctly and will make adjustments as the efficacy of the medications is determined. In fact many of the drugs being prescribed will state clearly in the literature that the manufacture has not determined the reason that the drug works, (lack of a plausible mechanism of action)only that it seems to work for some people for some problems being addressed.
Often the claims of efficacy of western medicine are greatly exagerated as well, and sometimes knowingly to elicit the benefit of the placebo effect or simply to put a positive spin on a product which turns a profit. Therefore the argument can be made that medications are often used deceptively.
As to clinical trial proving that acupuncture doesn't work, there have been well documented studies which have shown that it does work, as well as well documented research which has shown that when doctors go on strike from a hospital, fewer patients die.
Many more people are killed each year by medication errors made by western medical doctors than are killed each year by acupuncturists!

I find it interesting that over 80% of people have voted that acupuncture works and these western MD's still say its quackery. I have worked in both Eastern and Western Medicine as well as Acupuncture research and can say for sure that I know acupuncture works. What we need is more research. And also another important thing to take into account is some patients respond instantaneously to Oriental medicine therapies while other require a little longer; it's not like just taking one "magic" pill!

1. Is there really such an organization as the New England Skeptical Society? As an empiricist, I doubt that it could be real.
2. For a real live comment on whether it works, copy this link and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn64xUaRKeE
3. The effects of gravity have been observed by humans forever, but it was not named and mathematically described until later. I guess that Steven Novella MD would thus also say that gravity and
its effects never existed until they were named and "explained." If someone explains something philosophically, and that philosophy is counter to your own views, then if that first philosophy is found to be "incorrect," then anything that was explained by that philosophy doesn't exist, or is invalid.

But wait a moment. Oh,that's right, gravity has not been explained, really, it has just been described. It is described as a force. As an acceleration. That's not really an explanation as to how it works. So if it can't be explained, the New England Skeptical Society (non-existent as it may be) would say that it doesn't exist, that it's effects aren't real. Charming perspective.

Likewise, science mostly describes phenomenon observed to occur and then tries to make predictions. Explanations as to how things work, scientifically speaking, boil down to probabilities that things, in a particular moment, are there or are not there. Electron "shells" are
just probabilities. Physics tells us that nothing is solid and that most of what we perceive to be "solid" is mostly void and without substance.

To get back to the issue of prediction and science. How do we forcast or predict effects of particular medical models. We look at what has happened in the past to predict the future. So, is a death due to medical treatment an issue of any import to societies? If so, let's look at iatrogenic deaths and make some predictions. Given that such a huge number of the iatrogenic deaths in the country are due to medications, we are forced to thus predict, based on the CDCs own statistics, that taking of drugs will kill people. Now, death due to drugs may not have any consequence or debatable value at the NE Skeptical Society. However, if drugs are the biggest category of iatrogenic causes of death, why do we use them when non-lethal forms of treatment exist, whether explained properly or not?

I cannot buy the faulty premise, made by Dr. Novella, that something is invalid merely because the method to explain how it works may be incorrect. An effect still is an effect even if you can't explain by a particular model. I think he would be hard-pressed to tell me how Vicodin works from the perspective of string theory or quantum mechanics. And yet, science tells us that all things are based on such concepts or theories, or perhaps we can go as far as saying these two "realities." So please explain how drugs work from a string theory perspective and I will be less harsh and skeptical about your method of attacking acupuncture.

Hi, I am a licensed acupuncturist in private practice for over 15 years. About 70% of my patients get better (for pain) within 2-3 of insertion of needles. I am not saying Acupuncture works 100%, nothing does. But it is a really good tool to heal once mind, body and spirit with NO harmful side effects like drugs. www.NewYorkAcupunctureCenter.com

Numerous scientific studies support the fact that Acupuncture works and has solid proof behind it.
Mark Moshchinsky, L.Ac New York City.

Acupuncture has been around longer than any other documented healing practice. That there is still debate going on is illuminating to say the least.

There is plenty of room for acupuncture and alopathic medicine to exist and even compliment each other. It's too bad the medical community has to engage in a pissing contest with something that, if it doesn't work anyway, they shouldn't feel so threatened by. But they clearly do exactly because it does work but they can't explain it.

I have practiced acupuncture for several years and successfully treated kidney stones (they passed on their own), irregular menstruation and uterine cysts, low back pain, depression and insomnia due to stress. I realize there's a pill for all of these "problems" but some people don't tolerate meds well. As acupuncture has little or no negative side-effects it's a great alternative.

Yes, exactly as stated in the question, acupuncture "works" - sometimes, in some situations, and with little to no understanding as to why. The effects of acupuncture treatment may or may not be in the patient's - and the "doctor's" head - nevertheless, if the patient finds relief for whatever reason, perhaps, in the least, acupuncture does no harm. As a healer, one must needs carry both the bag of science and the bag of tricks. We human beings are incredibly complex creatures. Certainly, there is much we know and understand about ourselves AND much we do not. In the interest of aiding those who suffer, whatever treatments are available, whether soundly supported by science or not, mustn't be summarily rejected if there is a chance the patience will experience relief of their suffering by their use. "Health" isn't simply what lies in the mind of the physician, it is also and more importantly what lies in the mind of the patient. As inconclusive as research appears to be on the subject of acupuncture, I believe the healer must keep that option for treatment open to them in the remote possibility it has supportable benefit, even if that benefit is psychological alone.

I have never tried acupuncture myself, however, as one who suffers with acute and chronic pain, there are many times when I would accept even the scientifically unsupportable if there was even a slim chance it might reduce the pain or give it pause for even a few moments. As I've seen it, far too many physicians claiming to be "healers" are apathetic in relation to the psychological suffering component of illness. It often seems, in their view, a human being is simply a bag of meat which is, in their professional opinion, either functionally healthy or not.

I await either science's total rejection, or total acceptance of acupuncture. In the meantime, as a tentatively effective treatment, I may or may not find it useful.
