Acupuncture is Not Placebo: Scientifically Proven (At Last)
ACUPUNCTURE IS NOT PLACEBO: SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN (AT LAST)
AN AMERICAN STUDY WITH MORE THAN 20,000 PATIENTS SCIENTIFICALLY DEMONSTRATES THAT THE EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE CANNOT BE EXPLAINED BY THE PHENOMENON “PLACEBO”
"5,000 years ago everyone" knew "that the Earth was the center of the Universe
500 years ago everyone "knew" that the earth was flat
10 minutes ago you "knew" that human beings were alone on this planet
Imagine what you will know tomorrow ... "
(Excerpt from the movie Men in Black)
I am very excited to finally write this article.
A little further down I will link the study of which I speak, but before what we are going to. Undoubtedly all acupuncturists who read these lines have met over and over again acquaintances, friends and even strangers who, when commenting that they are acupuncturists, have made a strange face and have said something like “do you really think that works? ”, Others have simply looked at him strange, but have not wanted to bother him by saying anything. And how tiring it is to try to explain what acupuncture is to someone who is not open-minded! In addition, there are certain people who, it seems, misinterpreted the scientific method proposed by Descartes at the time (namely, everything that I can prove is true, what I cannot prove, I don't know if it is true) and believe that everything that is not scientifically proven to be false. Well friends, until recently we "knew" that the atom was the smallest physical structure that existed in the universe. The reality is that science evolves in a fierce way, and welcome, however it is very green compared to the science that we will have in, say, 50 years, and therefore the technology that it uses today, still does not explain many things.
Well, today we can tell all those people that yes, it has been shown that acupuncture is NOT a hoax. That which we all already knew from the empirical method, seeing patient after patient leave for consultation with their problems solved. FINALLY!
Today we already know that Acupuncture works, we may not yet know at a scientific level how and why it works, but that, although very important, should not go beyond the fact itself: Acupuncture works.
But there is more! The American College of Physicians "strongly" recommends acupuncture for pain treatment, recommends it before drugs, as it has better results.
Needless to say, science today is absolutely incapable of evaluating many of the other applications of acupuncture (especially on an emotional level), but I am sure that everything will come little by little. With each study that comes out on acupuncture, interest in it is aroused even more since it seems that each year they are showing that acupuncture is one of the best therapies that man has known throughout his existence. And what an incredible humbling for all of us that it's a 4,000-year-old therapy, right?
Anyway, gentlemen, here below I put the link to the article taken from the website healthcmi.com
Enjoy everyone and happy holidays!
