Who likes Acupuncture and Why? would you pay for it and how much?


Who likes Acupuncture and Why? would you pay for it and how much?

I haven't tried it. But it doesn't look like it's painful and i would pay for it just to experience it.

Advantages:
- Research has shown that acupuncture reduces nausea and vomiting after surgery and chemotherapy. It can also relieve pain.
- Use in conjunction to other treatments.

4W is correct in saying that there is some evidence to suggest that acupuncture is successful in treating nausea.

However s/he fails to point out that there are at least 20 other conditions, for which acupuncture has been tested and been shown not to work.

These include IBS, arthritis, epilepsy, schizophrenia, stroke rehabilitation, asthma and glaucoma.

At a significance level of p=0.05 there is a 1 in 20 chance of a false positive so you will occasionally get some false success stories. About once in every 20 trials coincidentally.


So the answer is no. It's quackery, and it would be foolish to pay for it.

Acupuncture is great for emotional and physical well being
