look man call it "chi" call it "ki" what ever it is Acupuncture works. I had it done to me and it's just something you can't explain, I'm here looking at videos trying to get a clue of what it is !
This is stupid how people come here and complain about this not being real if they have never tried it.. I've been to over 10 doctors because I had a bad back.. They gave me medacine sent me to chiropractors but It didn't get better and they all said it never would because it was too out of place.. Went to a acupuncturist 3 times got an X-ray of my back and it's fine never had pain since so please if you don't know anything about this subject don't comment.
@Justine77961 It's called a goddamn PLACEBO effect. Did you know that water with sugar and colour is often given to patients? It has absolutely no medicinal capability, but people believe it works so it does. Of course it's like acupuncture. It won't cure anything, it's often used for pain for example.
But there is NOTHING more than the placebo effect, which really works. All that Qi and whatever is a load of crap.
@Justine77961 Post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy at its best. Translates to "After this, therefore because of this" Just because your back is better, does not overrule the scientific consensus of acupuncture not being a form of medicine and the lack of scientific evidence to support the positive effects of acupuncture.
My mother who is a nurse at a local hospital spoke with the acupuncturist and he said himself that acupuncture doesn't work if the person doesn't believe in it sooooooooooo that says its a total placebo affect. I love it when a person pays for fake treatment.
Systematic meta-analytic reviews by the Cochrane Collaboration (an independent research organisation) have concluded that there is no empirical evidence to suggest that acupuncture is an efficacious treatment for any of the conditions reviewed thus far.
And every study showed that it absolutly doesn't matter where you stick the needle or do other stuff (tui na, shiatsu, ect.). the meridians are just not real.
This is not beeing "a bad skeptic" at all. It feels good and perhaps it helps some people *as a placebo*. Placebo is not a bad word in general, because if it helps it helps, right?
I don't believe this stuff, I'm scientist, and still: It feels good.
Why do people attack the root of the problem? There's always another root to replace it. Go from the branches down.
Also, I don't take pills normal, because I can't swallow pills (They don't want to go down). So I crush them in a drink. (Pop, juice, water, milk etc..) and soon the headache is gone after a nice nap and snack.
just like selling religion, both makes people feel good, so wats wrong with this one? We can say that there is an invisible man in the sky who grants our wishes but can't stick a bunch of needles in someone?
@Kloborgg Well beliving acupuncture works will grant you the placebo effect. Placebos aren't bad and have been shown to work. But religion brings an immense load of bad shit along with a little help.

But yeah, religion is fine if it makes people feel better, but it also slows progression, and leads to needless war, persecution, and death.
@Kloborgg I just googled it and the first thing I found was that acupuncture doesn't work better than a placebo. Anyway, I don't really care because I'll never get it done.
But for religion, it mostly makes people who have mental health problems that they are normal, plus it gives them attention. But it won't fix it, it will just hide it. If you have hallucinations they will tell you they are demons or God, but you won't get the help to make them stop. Sad really.
Yup, and when something comes up that humanity doesn't have an answer for, why bother researching or attempting to solve the problem? After all, religion explains it all! That's the kind of thinking that gets us absolutely nowhere. Most major discoveries that reshaped our understanding of the world faced a major roadblock upon encountering religion (Darwin, Copernicus, Galileo).
@ivanlagrossemoule even believing that a placebo effect works(which it does) means that you understand that humans can heal themselves through their own thoughts, which is more weird, a mysterious energy system that runs through the body or healing ourselves with our minds? ha, thats a paradigm shifting thought

Probably the poorest video presentation on Acupuncture I have ever seen. Poor clean needle technique, esoteric babble on oriental medicine with a poor explanation of it to the layperson. Why relate this to some church? Why reinforce that this is some religious practice, when in fact, it's a medical treatment. I hope my patients never see this drivel. Embarrassing.
That girl is making me laugh.. She's got a piercing in her face and a tattoo on her wrist and she's freaking out over a few needles so thin that you hardly feel it. lol
Oh yeah, and there are no "meridians" in science. Or how do the chinese medicine quacks explain that on amputees for instance, let's say they lost a leg, with lots of allegedly missing "vital (!)points" can become very aged and still stay healthy?
Acupuncture is bullshit, just like any other pseudo- non-scientific medicine. It doesn't matter where you puncture people, their body will release adrenaline and endorphins. You could also beat 'em up. Acupuncture is based on ancient chinese shamanism, on the chasing of evil spirits and demons. Every practicioner uses different spots to stick their needles in (which can be dangerous and painful), and there are lots of different body maps, it is absolutely not coherent.
Massage, caring words, focused calming, and placebos are awesome things. Comforting conversations and rest actually do more for humans than the posturing woo-woo.
It absolutely blows my mind that people believe in this. Absolutely blows my mind. I need to move far far away from you idiots.
Funny that there are no acupuncture points in the penis or vagina. Very important organs for the organism.
Can you wonder why? It would be a hard sell for people to allow doctors to stick needles into their naughty bits. So, conveniently there are no meridian points.
@J3arc No,I tried myself.Massaging meridian points really works.It alleviates my nasitis.Many people in China try this themselves.It is good for many sickness,even adiposity .
@darkness9994 You're right. It doesn't matter if you are. But your flawed logic does matter. Just because mankind has done something for thousands of years doesn't make it accurate or right.
I have not been able to find any hard scientific evidence proving Acupunctures benefits.
It's interesting that the male and female sexual organs are missing acupuncture points all together. I believe it is because the general public would not be fond of such a practice. Therefore the practice is not used.
@J3arc the human sexual organs wouldn't have acupuncture points because there isn't an artery in either of them. also there is scientific research put into it. you're just not looking. in scientific reseach it has been shown that acupuncture release endorphins, and sometimes adrenaline. which as most people know means the bodies natural pain killing agents.
@darkness9994 You bringing up endorphins makes me smile. You can simply release endorphins by receiving injury and feeling pain. Sticking a needle with someone seems like something that would cause pain. So your body releases endorphins to counter the pain.
If its endorphins you're after, you're better off masturbating and eating some spicy curry.
@J3arc also i bet you're one of those people that says chiropractics doesn't work. even those the study of orthopedics has done studies into it and said that true chiropractics work. why don't you pull your head out of the ass of pharmaceutical sponsored doctors reports
@darkness9994 Chiropractic has its benefits. There are true chiropractors who realize what they can fix and others who claim to be more than what they are
You saying that the sexual organs contain no arteries perfectly reveals your ignorance. I have nothing more to say to you. Because I cannot debate anyone who doesn't think in the realm of reason. I cannot make someone see reason who conjures up false information and vomits it out as fact. You live in a world of beliefs and faith. Not truth
you know, it's easy for you to say it's not truth, then it is for you to go to your doctor and ask them about it. some doctors do tell their patients to check it out. which means that there may be something to it. also the united states army has had the medical corp do research on acupuncture techniques during the korean war, and their finds can be found in medical journals at any library. so do yourself a favor and go read them.
@TheWill69 that makes more sense. If that is how placebo effect works, then for those with problems, it may be worth it to get acupuncture in order to receive the most benefits from that phenomenon.
@hazellina07 I've had acupuncture many many times over 20+ years. The needles are much finer than injection needles. If the needle goes into the acupuncture point correctly then there is a "tingling" around the needle, and yes sometimes with some needles there is a brief pain when the needle goes in. Despite this, paradoxically I find acupuncture to be extremely relaxing. And no, I don't have any form of needle phobia!
I had accupunture to treat a chronic illness, BUT I also needed to relax my mind/body. A combination of accupunture and daily Stress Relief techniques. I used CD's by Jonathan Robert Banks, google Relaxationforme or utube yourbraintraining - brilliant - one year on and am disease free and still use the cds daily .
@CT2507 hmm amazing how no deseases were ever cured by traditional chinese medicine. yet how many can western medicine claim? plus i've diasected a few human cadavers and I never saw chi or maridians. What explains phantom pain is the sensory map in your brain that still has neurons dedicated to the missing limb. Lets see some evidence other then subjective pain questionaires.
@ash08xo thats because the chi and the meridians are invisible... lol. stupid ass.
there are plenty of proof out there of chi and its different effects. but u got to educate yourself. no one is going to care about coming and showing u. least of all i, get it!
@ash08xo plenty of diseases are cured with natural medicine all the time, and normal doctors destroy lives all the time. u are biased because u are simple minded and dumb. plenty of your kind around that's for sure...
@KatzYellowknight everything uses chi. even ice skating or driving on your tri-cycle kid. u couldn't stand or breath without the chi. u would simply collapse.
@CT2507 Then what is keeping such tests from being run? So far the tests that have been done have shown that it does not matter where on the body one gets poked, or even if the needle breaks the skin to have an identical effect to a professional acupuncture treatment.
@stonetop oh?... i didn't know that tests have been done that show it doesn't matter where on the skin one gets poked? sounds like a non-test to me and a silly attempt to discredit acupuncture, when serious videos have already been made showing the anaesthetic effects of acupuncture during child birth or even surgery!
@nataq01 haha... u are the idiot here. Chinese medicine has over a 1000 of years of history and experience. a real doctor as u call them are very new and inexperienced. hence they produce soooooo many mistakes and often not helping at all.
modern medicine is in the kindergarten phase compared with the traditional Chinese!
@CT2507 its true chinese medicine is old, but it doesnt change a fact that it doesnt work. The truth is that western medicine is the only working medicine that we have. If you want feel free to "cure" your cold with bullshit, but dont go spreading lies about real medicine, because you are harming people that really need help and might make a bad choice because of you.
@nataq01 what lies am i spreading?! its a well known fact that normal doctors have no real control of the many many destructive side effects that normal medicine has on our health. the doctors know it themselves, but have chosen to live with it.
i sure hope i can make people think twice about the kind of medicine they choose.
@CT2507 its an propaganda of fear, like when they said that vaccines cause autism because 3 people out of 1000000 got autism after taking vaccine ( like they did not had it before they took that vaccine ), side effects in most medicine are not dangerous and are worth it if you want to get cured, its alot better than placebo effect of oriental medicine. Tell me the truth, if you were seriously ill ( like cancer or anything that could kill you ), would you choose western or oriental medicine?
@nataq01 u are barking up the wrong tree. i grew up with a friend who became autistic after a series of injections. he was a perfectly normal child from birth.
the doctors cant even cure my hay-fever. so why should i trust them with cancer, which every one knows, the doctors cant cure anyway! when has chemotherapy ever cured anyone?!
i would probably try some natural classical systems, and if that didn't work, take some painkillers and let nature do its work.
@nataq01 side effects in most medicine are not dangerous!? ...hahaha. u realy know what u're talking about eh?! ... :))
have u ever read on the back of those hormone creams they give to babies for skin rash? there is a long list of serious side-effects that can change even your childs appearence and lead to obesity!! u think they list them there for fun?!
actually ill tell u why the medical companies list them on the medicine. its so u cant go an sue them after the damages has happened.
@CT2507 then never ever again visit any real doctor, see you on your funeral after you die from a simple flu. There is no point in discussing with a biased person who ignores facts and believes things what are comfortable for his worldview. Learn 2 science.
@nataq01 hahaha... well actually i stay as far as possible from what u call "real" doctors. don't u worry about that. :)
i see what they are capable of often. i have worked with handicaped people for the last 8 years. i come at hospitals all the time.
what it boils down to is this. the best a doctor can do is to help your body heal itself! and there are actually some of the western doctors who are starting to understand this, and i respect them for it. the Chinese have know it all along.
@nataq01 whats that with my funeral? as if we are here to be immortal?? of course i will die at some point. the best a western doctor can do is prolong your life with a few years. so what! but don't kid yourself, they cure nothing! they just postpone the inevitable. and they sure take a heck of a lot of gold for it! ;)... lol
I hear alot of good results from this, people are very stupid for not believing its possible. Do they have anything to clear the mind of a psychic, to get better intunement??
@alexkidd3d I had Constant pain in my wrists for the past 2.5 years that was related to carpal tunnel. I went and got acupuncture 4 times and have had 0 pain since. That was 3 months ago. My grandma went for the same pain 2 years ago and has had the same results too. It may sound crazy, but it actually does work. The needles go straight into your nerves.
As i said, placebo... i have little doubt your story is accurate and that thousands have similar experiences. What is demonstrably and undeniably true however is that if you get 200 people in two groups and in one you give them acupuncture and in another you pretend to (say poke them with toothpicks or deliver needles in random areas) there is no difference in recovery. the method of action (human meridian, energy, chackra, "straight to your nerves" is incorrect. it works-but the same as placebo
1, Placebo or not, Accupuncture has been historically shown to help people with their ailments by those people's own accounts
2, Placebo or not, accupuncture sessions are a helluva lot less expensive than "mainstream" doctors charge to tell you they don't know what's wrong and make you spend more of your money for things that don't work, trying to figure out what's wrong.
@JemmetGK -- Placebo or not?... placebo, demonstrably placebo. It's antiquity is not a great advert for it's effectiveness. It's cost is also irrelevant. Whether cheap or not (I do not consider it particularly cheap) ANY amount of money charged for a medical service with no verification of its effectiveness beyond placebo is too much. As i said it DOES work.. because a placebo works and that's what it is. Selling a placebo is quite immoral.
@yoNumero1lilMija Ultimately I think you would agree that it's important to verify whether medical treatments work. There are many reasons it's important to emphasise evidence based medicine, one important one is that placebo works on only a narrow range of abstract symptoms. for example it has zero effect on cancer. If you have a serious illness then seeking help from acupuncturists can delay or hinder the seeking of effective treatments.
@yoNumero1lilMija Unless you have a health issue, the human body is the exact same. Therfore, if it doesn't or does work for some. You have a health issue.
I went to read the description and it says, "She discusses acupuncture and demons...:, and I was like, how the heck are demons related to acupuncture? Then I realized it was shortened from demonstrate. XD
if you're going to talk about qi and life force superhighways, explain scientific explanations as well.
acupuncture isn't "instant" either. sometimes it takes time for acupuncture to kick in. acupuncture is not "more effective than biochemical pathways"-- ie. food, medicine. it's best used integratively.
if you talk about "qi", you're confusing people who are unfamiliar with those terms.
the "first" thing that happens when someone comes in for treatment isn't always pulse assessment.
Thank you Dr. Lee. I have received accupuncture treatment for asthma and allergies and the treatments have worked well. There is no pain from the needles. I find the sessions relaxing and energizing.
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. =)
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.
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).
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.
why don't you hop on over to the pubmed website, and start looking at the numerous research studies with positive outcomes for acupuncture? you could start by searching 'acupuncture autism' on the website, for example.
there's plenty of research. you could also look for a study by Bo Anderson regarding acupuncture and fertility treatments...
like any other medicine, it has a scope of efficacy/
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.
look man call it "chi" call it "ki" what ever it is Acupuncture works. I had it done to me and it's just something you can't explain, I'm here looking at videos trying to get a clue of what it is !

Thanks for utilizing the publishing media that you did...now over 200K people think that practitioners of oriental medicine are in the same ilk as mind control freaks. One step forward, and ten steps back.....damn...

Probably the poorest video presentation on Acupuncture I have ever seen. Poor clean needle technique, esoteric babble on oriental medicine with a poor explanation of it to the layperson. Why relate this to some church? Why reinforce that this is some religious practice, when in fact, it's a medical treatment. I hope my patients never see this drivel. Embarrassing.

Oh yeah, and there are no "meridians" in science. Or how do the chinese medicine quacks explain that on amputees for instance, let's say they lost a leg, with lots of allegedly missing "vital (!)points" can become very aged and still stay healthy?

Acupuncture is bullshit, just like any other pseudo- non-scientific medicine. It doesn't matter where you puncture people, their body will release adrenaline and endorphins. You could also beat 'em up. Acupuncture is based on ancient chinese shamanism, on the chasing of evil spirits and demons. Every practicioner uses different spots to stick their needles in (which can be dangerous and painful), and there are lots of different body maps, it is absolutely not coherent.

It absolutely blows my mind that people believe in this. Absolutely blows my mind. I need to move far far away from you idiots.
Funny that there are no acupuncture points in the penis or vagina. Very important organs for the organism.
Can you wonder why? It would be a hard sell for people to allow doctors to stick needles into their naughty bits. So, conveniently there are no meridian points.
You're all being tricked. Free your mind.

I have not been able to find any hard scientific evidence proving Acupunctures benefits.
It's interesting that the male and female sexual organs are missing acupuncture points all together. I believe it is because the general public would not be fond of such a practice. Therefore the practice is not used.

@J3arc the human sexual organs wouldn't have acupuncture points because there isn't an artery in either of them. also there is scientific research put into it. you're just not looking. in scientific reseach it has been shown that acupuncture release endorphins, and sometimes adrenaline. which as most people know means the bodies natural pain killing agents.

@darkness9994 You bringing up endorphins makes me smile. You can simply release endorphins by receiving injury and feeling pain. Sticking a needle with someone seems like something that would cause pain. So your body releases endorphins to counter the pain.
If its endorphins you're after, you're better off masturbating and eating some spicy curry.

@J3arc also i bet you're one of those people that says chiropractics doesn't work. even those the study of orthopedics has done studies into it and said that true chiropractics work. why don't you pull your head out of the ass of pharmaceutical sponsored doctors reports
darkness9994 1 year ago
@darkness9994 Chiropractic has its benefits. There are true chiropractors who realize what they can fix and others who claim to be more than what they are
You saying that the sexual organs contain no arteries perfectly reveals your ignorance. I have nothing more to say to you. Because I cannot debate anyone who doesn't think in the realm of reason. I cannot make someone see reason who conjures up false information and vomits it out as fact. You live in a world of beliefs and faith. Not truth
J3arc 1 year ago
you know, it's easy for you to say it's not truth, then it is for you to go to your doctor and ask them about it. some doctors do tell their patients to check it out. which means that there may be something to it. also the united states army has had the medical corp do research on acupuncture techniques during the korean war, and their finds can be found in medical journals at any library. so do yourself a favor and go read them.

hazellina07 1 year ago
@hazellina07 I've had acupuncture many many times over 20+ years. The needles are much finer than injection needles. If the needle goes into the acupuncture point correctly then there is a "tingling" around the needle, and yes sometimes with some needles there is a brief pain when the needle goes in. Despite this, paradoxically I find acupuncture to be extremely relaxing. And no, I don't have any form of needle phobia!

CT2507 1 year ago
@CT2507 its an propaganda of fear, like when they said that vaccines cause autism because 3 people out of 1000000 got autism after taking vaccine ( like they did not had it before they took that vaccine ), side effects in most medicine are not dangerous and are worth it if you want to get cured, its alot better than placebo effect of oriental medicine. Tell me the truth, if you were seriously ill ( like cancer or anything that could kill you ), would you choose western or oriental medicine?
nataq01 1 year ago
@nataq01 u are barking up the wrong tree. i grew up with a friend who became autistic after a series of injections. he was a perfectly normal child from birth.
the doctors cant even cure my hay-fever. so why should i trust them with cancer, which every one knows, the doctors cant cure anyway! when has chemotherapy ever cured anyone?!
i would probably try some natural classical systems, and if that didn't work, take some painkillers and let nature do its work.

what it boils down to is this. the best a doctor can do is to help your body heal itself! and there are actually some of the western doctors who are starting to understand this, and i respect them for it. the Chinese have know it all along.

taypuc31 1 year ago
As i said, placebo... i have little doubt your story is accurate and that thousands have similar experiences. What is demonstrably and undeniably true however is that if you get 200 people in two groups and in one you give them acupuncture and in another you pretend to (say poke them with toothpicks or deliver needles in random areas) there is no difference in recovery. the method of action (human meridian, energy, chackra, "straight to your nerves" is incorrect. it works-but the same as placebo

@alexkidd3d
2 things:
1, Placebo or not, Accupuncture has been historically shown to help people with their ailments by those people's own accounts
2, Placebo or not, accupuncture sessions are a helluva lot less expensive than "mainstream" doctors charge to tell you they don't know what's wrong and make you spend more of your money for things that don't work, trying to figure out what's wrong.
JemmetGK 1 year ago
@JemmetGK -- Placebo or not?... placebo, demonstrably placebo. It's antiquity is not a great advert for it's effectiveness. It's cost is also irrelevant. Whether cheap or not (I do not consider it particularly cheap) ANY amount of money charged for a medical service with no verification of its effectiveness beyond placebo is too much. As i said it DOES work.. because a placebo works and that's what it is. Selling a placebo is quite immoral.

yoNumero1lilMija 11 months ago
@yoNumero1lilMija Ultimately I think you would agree that it's important to verify whether medical treatments work. There are many reasons it's important to emphasise evidence based medicine, one important one is that placebo works on only a narrow range of abstract symptoms. for example it has zero effect on cancer. If you have a serious illness then seeking help from acupuncturists can delay or hinder the seeking of effective treatments.

if you're going to talk about qi and life force superhighways, explain scientific explanations as well.
acupuncture isn't "instant" either. sometimes it takes time for acupuncture to kick in. acupuncture is not "more effective than biochemical pathways"-- ie. food, medicine. it's best used integratively.
if you talk about "qi", you're confusing people who are unfamiliar with those terms.
the "first" thing that happens when someone comes in for treatment isn't always pulse assessment.

soccom8341576 2 years ago
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.

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).
