Chinese Acupuncture - healing via needles

Tumor, Oranges and Chinese Acupuncture
Using chinese acupuncture, can you have your brain tumor removed and eat your oranges at the same time. No way? Sounds ridiculous? Tell that to New York Times reporter, James Reston who said that only a single acupuncture needle was needed to act as anesthetic. In his 1972 tour, he claimed that he even interviewed that brain tumor patient, who was enjoying his oranges while his “skull was wide open”.

His article on this chinese acupuncture alone was the single most important catalyst in bringing the practice to the western world. People were looking for alternatives; safer and simpler way of healing and acupuncture seemed to address their needs. No matter how strange it may seemed, people were willing to try. Suddenly, conventional doctors who used to laughed at acupuncture started to learn and practice it, mainly because of the huge demands. Out of the blue, acupuncture became a sensation.

Acupuncture, is it a joke?
Reston was not joking. In China, acupuncture is used widely in modern hospitals for operation, birth and dentistry. It has also been recognized by World Health Organization, WHO. One study also reveals that people using acupuncture take 79 % less prescription drug.

Quick Note
Chinese acupuncture works by stimulating the flow of a patient's chi, believed to be the natural healing forces that dwells in the body. This technique is believed to be as old as 4000 years, and was developed when it was realized that chinese warriors recovering from arrow wounds were often cured from other disease from which they were suffering.
