So far it’s all inconclusive study, indistinguishable from a Placebo. yeahyeahyeah I know there have been some studies that show a greater effectiveness of acupuncture but considering the level of detail people place into this scam it’s not surprising that patients might be very convinced of it. You might say that the prevalence of this “TCM” is clarified by its very strong placebo effect.But hey if it makes people feel better and they’re willing to spend that much money on it I’m fine with that.
May I suggest that you should refrain from throwing out comments without specifying your claims, “the fantastic detail” that you mention is place into this is not from “people” it is, in fact, from 5000 years of trial and error as opposed to western medicine. Of course if this is making people feel better and western medicine is not, i’m fine with that as well. Take care of your logic, the placebo effect should be left inside the water pills becouse it is certainly far from something as deep as this.
Fascinating video and chat here. I see many patients in Denver Colorado for acupuncture and accept insurance, so not sure why people reckon acupuncture treatment isn’t covered by health insurance. It’s also vital to hear what other people who have tried acupuncture have to say about if it worked for their problem.Debra Arko NovotnyAccent On Health
It’s like the say – what I don’t know I despise, what I despise I reject….”All truth passes through three stages: first it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, third it is accepted as being self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher, (1788-1860)
This doesn’t imply that ridicule is a path to truth, some things are simply ridiculous.
you should know, The medical scientist and doctors who lead world medicine are majorly in favor of TraditionallChinese Medicine (TCM) and the effectives and safety of the theory and applied technique. The science is in to an extent, go do your research in journals. But the medical acupuncturist association (the board for M.D. acupuncturist in the us) doubts that a gold standard will do the medicine justice. The WHO is a strong proponent, and the ICD-10 will have codes for TCM.
Yes, politics. Another tale.But I doubt medical scientists and doctors who lead are “majorly in favor of TCM”. Some doctors just reckon, if that patient is becalmed by using placebo tricks, so be it. I never said placebo is not real. I said people who pretend to heal everything, even severe traumas, as they say, by tapping themselves for instance, are umh… incorrect, so incorrect. Evil liars, in my eyes.
cool tale hansel, maybe you could try bloodletting to balance your sanguine humour
According to all my friends and science, there are no meridians. I trust science, and I like empirism and its direction. Of course western medicine,as you call it,has not everything figured out.But I trust this kind of medicine only.Look up science and empirism,if you don’t know what they mean.Lot more trustful approach than simplistic hokum.Believe me, “western medicine” has found out a 1000 times more things than eso-world.
hmmm how can what you say be right? oh yes you are right, but western medicine is only three years ahead of chinese, Life Expectancy for Americans 76, Life Expectancy of Chinese 73. But of course Traditional medicine is cheaper, less invasive and with no side effects. I guess its a matter of choosing the pill or the herb. I know where the herb comes from, don’t know the pill.
