Anyone -fears about needles or paralysis from Acupuncture/ acupressure?

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

I am writing an article trying to gauge what it is that turns people

away from these treatments. One obvious one was a fear of needles,

and the next big reason I found was that many people are truly afraid

of some permanent, possibly paralyzing damage being caused to their

back/spine

 

Here is the rough draft article, I hope to revise it but wanted some

real opinions

about hurdles/ fears overcome in your choice to use traditional healing

 

Thanks

actually TCM usually views acute cold and flu as an invasion from the exterior

(wind with cold, heat or damp). This can come about from a weakness in the qi.

Blockages are more likely to cause pain, emotional distress or more internal

medicine disease. Acupuncture that is done for acute colds is designed to vent

wind and stregthen qi. More often herbs are used that have the same function and

when researched shown to be powerful antiviral/bacterials as well as increase

wbc

Be well,

Acupuncture also sometimes can have a problem for people who are

Kidney Yin Deficiency and/or magnesium deficient because either can

lower the pain theshold. Something you see with a lot of PWCs (People

With CFIDS) is that a touch can feel painful. PWCs tend to be Mg

deficient and often suffer from Yin Deficiency too.

 

But sometimes, depending on other imbalances and feelings of numbness

in some areas of the body, the person may not feel the needles

(including shots) in certain parts of the body until the person's

health starts to improve. I barely felt the Mg shots for the first 9

months I was on them. When one can feel them, Mg stings quite a bit.

Hi, Laurita:

 

I have severe back pain, and after a massage therapist

recommened, I went to a doctor who was able to do

acupuncture and massage. Evidently my problems were so

severe that they required acupuncture.

 

I went along with the doctor for six months in China.

This guy gave 25 needles up and down my legs from

points in my lower spine. His attitude was that I was

a foreigner and could not handle pain. He just jabbed

me and forced the needle with lots of force.

 

At one point, an older woman was present when the guy

jabbed me and hit nerves, I screamed in pain. The

woman scolded him for hurting me, but he shrugged it

off to my being a foreigner.

 

Eventually I discovered that the doctor should have

used no more than six needles per session, so I

stopped attending. He used too much force and caused

far too much pain than was necessary.

 

I've recently found a massage therapist who uses

considerable pressure, but who also acheives results.

At the same time, I've switched to herbal treatments

in place of acupuncture.

 

Hope that helps, Jack
