  • I have a theory about people who claim that acupressure, acupuncture, and positive manipulation of the body's meridians don't work: I think they are part of a plot to exploit the Hara/Bao Gong, Ren and/or Du channels.They spread misinformation and claim it isn't real without having researched these subjects seriously.The days of negative manipulations of Hara/Bao Gong chi are over now. Regardless of enhanced torture or emerging technology,everyone is awakening to these energies, so deal with it.

  • The largest mistake made by Western Scientists is trying to use reductionism to explain a science that is fundamentally NOT a reductionistic approach. The last 400 years of Western Medicine has made great breakthroughs with reductionism, which believes that to understand the whole you only need to knoiw the parts. Acupuncture believes that the Whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Both are valid viewpoints and are clinically effective as shown in Western randomized, controlled trials.

  • I don't believe it works. I mean, if you're REALLY sick, you'd go to a Western hospital and not to a TCM practitioner. I have an illness (CFS, or an energy crisis in the body) which Western medicine can't explain and yet Chinese doctors describe it as a "Yang imbalance". I went with this notion and after 2 months of forking out for expensive acupuncture sessions and foul tasting herbs nothing really changed. I thought at one stage I had recovered some energy but this proved merely psychological.

  • thanks

  • What about the longterm effects...?

  • Thank you for showing how intellect you are...flame on...

  • suck a dick

  • That's a nice theory, but honestly, I think it is part of human nature to not believe in something that cannot be proven scientifically. I honestly don't care if it works or not, because at the very least, it makes people feel better and that is respectable in itself.

  • deal with this;
