Placebo effect is certainly something to consider in acupuncture, but where in life is placebo effect not to be considered? When you swallow an aspirin is there not a certain amount of placebo effect taking place as well as a biochemical reaction? Most neophytes would argue that the effect of acupuncture is unmeasurable therefore entirely placebo. This is not the fault of acupuncture, but rather the fault of our measuring devices and inability to fully explain what Chi (energy) is.
Bertisfan, if a condition’s cause is purely through suggestion, we don’t dismiss it. If someone’s experiencing pain, whether the pain has a physical cause or otherwise, we don’t doubt that it’s real.
So why so much scorn for treatment along the same lines?
I also like your neat little “two words” thing, as though nobody else who watched this video had realised that.
This video is mistitled. It doesn’t explain at all HOW to treat frozen shoulder using acupuncture. It doesn’t describe which acupuncture meridians or points are most helpful. I’m sure the doctor is very helpful, but this video isn’t. And I have one word for “bertisfan2007″ — ignorant.
I know the man in this video, Dr. Guan-Yuan Jin. He is an incredible healer. His acupuncture clinic in Milwaukee, WI has a website.
As a patient of Dr. Jin, I can attest to his skill in reducing or eliminating health problems, the obvious as well as the unseen. Dr. Jin refers to the process as “dredging the meridians” - unblocking the body’s bioelectrical energy pathways.
I used to be a skeptic of meridians, chi, etc. until my first visit. I walked out a believer.
