The practice of inserting very thin needles in particular points on the body to redirect "qi" energy, thereby improving health and well-being. (Add picture)

REVIEWERRATING & REVIEW

This is unbelievable medieval quackery that is gaining an increasing foothold in American life. Its theory and practice are based on primitive and fanciful concepts of health and disease that bear no relationship to present scientific knowledge. All the research militates against it. Most perceived benefits come from good old regressive fallacy or raised expectations when treatment begins. If you believe that pain and illnesses build up in your body due to the accumulation of qi, then this is for you. Perhaps the acupuncturist should stick some of the needles into the gray matter. I hope my insurance rates don't have to cover payments for this bunk.

This one seems to have enough results behind it to earn it a certain amount of serious consideration. I think it's way more mainstream and accepted than many of the others on this list.

I used to have a severe allergic reaction to cats. I'm talking emergency room allergic. A few years ago I had one (1) acupuncture treatment done to help with it, and now I live with three cats. I highly recommend this to anyone. I didn't believe it would work, but it did. You just never know till you try, I guess.

This has been around a very long time and has helped many people.Eastern medicine has a lot to offer to those who have been failed by western medicine.Better yet,they should work together and learn from one another.

This method of treatment seems to work for some more than others, but that might be attributed to how willing you are to this procedure. When I see how it's done, it looks rather interesting...frankly, though, I don't see anything appealing about sticking a bunch of needles in my body. To each his own, I guess...

I don't know whether there is something to it or not. I do know that, given my antipathy to needles, I won't be doing any first hand research on the topic.

There *might* be something to this one; I haven't tried it myself, but others I know have. If it does work, I haven't a clue how; but then there are a lot of topics in medicine that are a bit mysterious.
