Health Recovery Chips - HRC - & point selections used in Chinese research

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Any comments on the " Health Recovery Chips - HRC " , as tested in

Guangdong Shanwei Hospital for TCM? The results claimed were very

high. http://www.sig-na.com/pdf/disease-effectivness.pdf says

" Disease effectivness with Health Recovery Chips in 20 hospitals:

TOTAL TREATMENT CASES 2100; TOTAL EFFECTIVENESS RATE 89.98% "

 

Below is a summary of the acupoints to which the chips were applied

for common problems, as in

Any comments on the results, or the usefulness of the acupoints used?
