Eastern vs. Western Medicine
I just left an acupuncture session, and I feel great! Which really got me to thinking...where has western medicine gone wrong? Why is it that I usually always feel worse once I leave a doctors office, in which they practice western medicine? Is it because it took me three weeks to get that appointment, or because the doctor was 1.5 hours late, or because I felt like I was just one of many being shuffled through the system? Or, could it be that the doctor never really took a true interest in my ailment, that he/she just wanted to pump me full of drugs, and/or send me on a wild goose chase to pharmacy after pharmacy, waiting in more lines?I have been having acupuncture done for years. For a long time, my insurance wouldnt even cover it, because its not 'recognized' by many insurance agencies as a valid treatment plan. But, I assure you it is. Moreso even than 99% of the crap they do insure. My mother was told by western doctors that she should have two knee replacements, and that she should walk with a cane. Hell no, she said! She consistently goes to acupuncture, and she is fine. No cane, no pain. Did you know that open heart surgeries have been performed using only acupuncture needles, and no pain medicine or anisthetics? There are specific points in the body interconnected with others, so this doesnt seem so far fetched to me.
Same thing with many fertility clinics. What a waste of time and money. Go get some acupuncture. Doesnt it make sense to cure the energy flowing in our bodies, rather than putting more chemicals in?
Well, to each their own, but I would say to those that feel they have hit a dead end with a treatment in western medicine, to please find a reputable acupuncturist and just at least give it a try. I was in and out within 40 minutes, and I feel great.....

@mike
Most asian or eastern medicine were derived fr0m the studies of ancient health care,
And m0stly, it composed by organic or natural chemicals..
Coz producer always think of having long natural living...
Shell- I have not heard about the paralyzing thing, but I believe it......I have instant relief when she puts a needle in the spot for sinuses....you can even press that spot and use acupressure to feel it on your own. Its the meaty spot in the webbing between your thumb and forefinger...
Everything begins as a thought. A person attaches a story to the thought. The story creates emotion, usually stressful, and the emotion gets suppressed and buried. It has to release somewhere so it goes into the body. It is hard to believe with all the information out there people still think the mind and body are separate. Everything is connected and treating symptoms is just treating the final manifestation of a thought pattern, which is why so much of allopathic medicine is ineffective and symptoms recur.
Acupuncture works with the energy system of the body. It is much subtler and catches the imbalances before they fully manifest into physical problems. Working with energy is effective because it is more direct in its healing effects, it goes after the emotional attachment (energy frequency) to the thought that creates discomfort in the body. Physical ailments are nothing more than you trying to get your attention!
Also, acupuncture, massage, crystal and aroma therapy and healing with herbs have been around at least 5000 years. If it didn't work it would have been long gone.
But I will give you, if it works for you and some others, I can't argue those facts. I guess if one thing worked for everyone all the time, there would be no debate.
Yeah it can paralized, there is particular vein at d back of our neck that was c0nected to our central nervous system to temporary paralize the pers0n, i think s0me m0dern d0ctor also use to inject aneastesia in that part in s0me operati0n...

If Shelly ever comes over to my house, hide all needles.
dead, it was that talk about paralyzing it that startled me.
But thanks anyway.
How are you?
Hey 10k. See what happens when your not here to defend yourself.
I do not know much about the herbs that can go along with treatment programs, but I definetely have an energy imbalance hehe...or at least I can feel it. I remember she told me about a year ago there was definetely blockage somewhere because when she took the needle out of my earlobe it bled a little bit, and usually doesnt, or never did before.
I will ask her about 'angelica' next weekend.
