my first experience with acupuncture . Does it work?

Fake acupuncture works just as well as the real thing in relieving migraines, scientists have found.
In a study of more than 300 patients, both genuine and sham acupuncture reduced the intensity of headache compared to (sic) no treatment at all.But real acupuncture was no better than needles placed at non-acupuncture points on the body, the Journal of the American Medical Association reports.It goes against recent research showing acupuncture works in its own right. Acupuncture is just like faith healing ;)

placebo effect.
same as omega 3

Yup !! Placebo effect ;)

Acupuncture appears to work most likely for the same reasons other alternative therapies seem to work, namely:
1) Placebo
2) Misdirection (the needle makes you forget the other pain)
3) The cyclical nature of the illness (it goes away by itself)
4) Incorrect diagnosis to start with
5) Temporary mood improvements due to the personal nature of the treatment
6) Psychological investment of the patient in the success of the therapy
7) Other medicines the patient is taking.
In addition acupuncture may stimulate the release of endorfins.;)
 
actually these senior actually know what they are doing.
I just wondered if he is wants me to do repeated visit after visit before doing acupunture treatment. Anyone who knows can comment?

I didn't do much...he was bored at home. So we just chat when his wife is not around. He seems to be progressing and much happier now...even started to flirt with me. I'm taking that as a good sign. :)

Did you undergo any treatment for the ear? Has the ringing subsided?

no treatment for ear needed.
liver goven the eyes.

kidney govern the ears.

so if you got floaters in your eyes, check your liver first.

yes the ringing has subsided.

i am not saying liver or kidney spoil...it just the yin/yang qi inbalance.
