Extremely interesting. Ever since research on the Placebo effect started being seriously studied, we have known how potent the mind, in particular our belief in the healer, is in helping cure the body.
These alterative methods can certainly help … if the people believe it can!
But I have to agree that we cannot use this as a “replacement” for conventional treatment … might make a very fine “supplement” though!
More research should be done, though one can see the emotional benefits of alt. medcine. Wonder how the Atheist Mutawa will think of this
Kathy Allen Shut the FUCK UP! whichever pharma company has you under their thumb rest assured the side effects are much worse than what this tradiational treatment does. Cunt

yeh western medicine claims that the natural methods and old ways are not proven, however the western minded practitioners of medicine have never tested them, and they refuse to test them because they want ot keep making drugs they can charge enormous amounts of money for that might actually kill you. Acupuncture was rejecting simply because it would defy the western medicine notion of how the nervous system works. no one wanted to challenge it they just arbitrarily decided it was no good
snake-oil salesmen preying on gullible people
root doctors FTW!
A cheap form of placebo
It does not pay to cure cancer or any disease. It pays much better to manage the disease for years rather then cure it. Why waist Billions of dollars in curing a sickness when you can milk billions from the sheep. Cancer along with most all disease including AIDs has had a cure for many years. All it takes is a little study but many people don’t have time to study because there to busy on their Xbox.
OK she can walk around my bed doing the reiki thing but I am afraid it only works if she is below thirty and cute and naked. Only then will I relax.
They said those Kinoki foot pads would get rid of my scalp boils!
From the very first image of this clip, I said to myself, “Oh, fuck.” This is really alarming.
Flirmy,
How are they “snake-oil salesmen” if it’s FREE? Much of modern medicine including chemotherapy is just as effective as “snake-oil”. Research the facts.
Acupuncture has been studied
And the funny thing is, it does not matter where you put the needles in. The effects are the same.
In other words. It helps in many cases, but those “special acupunture spots” are bullshit.
Its probably mostly a placebo effect anyway
