Pins and needles may help certain medical problems
Nicole Patti
According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world. It originated in China more than 2,000 years ago, but it became better known to the United States in 1971.
In the past 20 years, acupuncture has grown in popularity in the United States and it is practiced by thousands of physicians, dentists and other practitioners for relief or prevention of pain and for a variety of other health conditions. Metallic, solid and hair-thin needles are inserted at specific points in the body to help facilitate the flow of energy, thus reducing and preventing pain.
In traditional Chinese medicine, imbalances in the basic energetic flow of life are believed to cause illnesses. These imbalances are referred to as “chee” or “qi.” It is believed that “chee” flows through channels in our bodies called meridians. By inserting fine needles into these meridians acupuncture practitioners believe that the energy flow will rebalance and the natural healing mechanisms in the body will take over.
Mayo Clinic concluded that it is hard to create a definitive list of conditions for which acupuncture might be beneficial. Studies indicate that it might be helpful for numerous diseases and conditions which include migraines, headaches, lower back pain, osteoarthritis, stroke rehabilitation, carpal tunnel syndrome and asthma.

Acupuncture for controlling diet
Wendy Rigby
KENS 5 Eyewitness News
Doctors are now turning to the ancient art of acupuncture
to treat all kind of maladies.
Now, doctors are prescribing acupuncture for those who need help with their diet and nutrition.
“I became overweight in the fourth or fifth grade,” said Kevin Rydberg.
Since then, weight has been a struggle. Rydberg peaked at 420 pounds.
“If I didn’t lose the weight, if I didn’t get healthy, then I didn’t have much of a future with my kids,” Rydberg said.
A couple of years ago, Rydberg had a gastric bypass operation.
“I lost a lot of weight, like 160 pounds.”
But then a familiar appetite issue came back: the urge to snack between meals.
Instead of taking medication to help curb the urge, Rydberg tried acupuncture. Tiny needles placed in specific points on the body.

Acupuncturist pokes holes in Western medicine
Acupuncture therapist Yong K. Park stared deeply into staff writer Robin Toepp’s eyes. Using a method called iridology, he says he looks for signs of weakness or stress to help him “diagnose” a patient’s needs. It is just one of several methods of healing Park uses.
Is that what you do when you first meet with a person?
Sometimes, when I see people, many times I look at their eyes because when you look at their eyes, all things are written in there, believe it or not. This is not acupuncture, by the way, I do a little bit more than acupuncture. Checking the iris eye signs and then tell the problem, it’s amazing, you know.

Acupuncture and Magnet Therapy
Many of my patients ask me why I use magnets during an acupuncture session and how they work. Here is an article written by Michael Tierra who I consider to be one of the major kahunas of TCM and herbology. I think it is the best explaination on the subject. If you are really interested in magnet therapy , I highly recommend his book.
Biomagnetic and Herbal Therapy
Dr. Michael Tierra L.AC., O.M.D.
Magnetic energy is a structuring force of the universe. As such, it is a reflection of the order that causes the infinite stars and planets throughout the galaxies to revolve and spin at incredible velocities while remaining in their respective orbits. As one of the four fundamental forces of nature along with gravity, nuclear energy and radioactivity, electromagnetism is equivalent in definition to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) concept of ‘Qi’, or the East Indian Ayurvedic definition of ‘Prana’. These concepts are what many in the West, regard as the ‘life force’.
Personally, I have had long occasion to experiment and use magnets beginning with myself and then extending to family, friends, students and patients. Two particular occasions on myself were most convincing. Both were soft tissue injuries, one to my elbow and the other, a ligament injury of my knee which I will describe further on.
