  • The reason why most people get acupuncture isn't because they believe in Qi and stuff like that, it's because it just feels good.

  • Qi is apparently so SUBTLE science has never found it. Silly mythologising - this is no basis for medicine. Acupuncturists are not trained in medical diagnosis and can do far more harm than good. Consumer beware! See a real doctor!

  • it works but it really hurts

  • Then why does the American Medical Association say it's an effective form of treatment? Why do some medical schools like UCLA teach it? Just because we don't know the reasoning behind HOW it works you can't automatically say it's placebo.

  • excellent ! i used to be scared of having this done ! but from this it doesnt look to bad ! x

  • lol my dear friend BoredNL you are a victim of quack acupuncture. Have one session with my doctor and she will make you feel the chi. Believe its very obvious. She does a heart point on the back and you will feel the chi go to your heart. You will feel your heart. I have spent thousands on her. I wouldnt do that if the effects were not obvious. Its just that no one can do it. I visited 15 different acupuncture doctors in london. All 15 failed to get the chi. Its there though.

  • Ok, so basically this is all about feeling taken care of and being given an excuse to relax.

    Has this "chi" ever been observed by anybody or any instrument such as an MRI? Of course not. 5,000 years ago human beings worshiped the sun and drilled holes in each other's heads to let out evil spirits. To rely on the primitive thoughts of ancient cultures to cure disease, which we now know the causes of, is irresponsible at best. This person would've spent her money more wisely at a spa..

  • Acupuncture has been practised for thousands of years. It is used for many varying treatments. It is also being used for cosmetic purposes as a  safer alternative to such treatments as botox and injectible fillers.

  • i'm a Asthma suffer but i wonder if Acupuncture works becuase i heard it does, is this true?

  • wow..
