@quitejaded I can't speak for your mother specifically, but I suspect acupuncture is very good at simulating healing. Take a look at C0nc0rdanc's video called Acupuncture (watch?v=pp5eiHUdwb4).

@Hetobox Again, if it is simply placebo then why don't other forms of therapy work as effectively for my mother?

@quitejaded It's placebo.

Massage, caring words, focused calming, and placebos are awesome things. Comforting conversations and rest actually do more for humans than the posturing woo-woo.

@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 .

@J3arc i havent trried it before but was thinking so..if u said its just tricks could u explain why u think it so

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.

@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! |
