View Full Version : ACCUPUNCTURE weight loss? bostonaire 14-01-2005, 16:53 does it work to help lose weight? Sam Miguel 14-01-2005, 17:00 That, I would not know. It would be interesting to find out if anyone knows the benefits of acapuncture and for what ailments it is used for. bostonaire 14-01-2005, 17:04 apparantly it works to help stop smoking ...and some pain relief ..but im curious about weight loss if anyone has ever tried it for that.. Siān 14-01-2005, 17:25 I had a course of electro acupuncture for pain relief a few years ago & it worked well. The doctor I went to had a list of things that acupuncture could help with but weight loss wasn't one of them. bostonaire 14-01-2005, 17:36 hi ok thanks for that..is the pain reilef long term too? Anyone else tried it for weight loss? poppins 14-01-2005, 17:43 My own MEDICAL doctor dosen't belive in it, and he's CHINEESE himself, Dr Chi, yet he belives in most other oriental remedies, accupunture is not one of them. Siān 14-01-2005, 17:48 Plenty of MEDICAL doctors do though Poppins - the GP I went to certainly did :) poppins 14-01-2005, 17:53 Originally posted by Siān Plenty of MEDICAL doctors do though Poppins - the GP I went to certainly did :) Never tried it myself but my friend said it cured her aches. bostonaire 14-01-2005, 18:14 is the relief long term for pain? for eg a total cure from pain? and anyone tried it for weight loss yet? poppins 14-01-2005, 18:17 Originally posted by nitelife40 is the relief long term for pain? for eg a total cure from pain? and anyone tried it for weight loss yet? When i asked my Chineese doc about it for weight loss, thats when he said, no it dosen't work, maybe now i think he just meant that it dosen't work for weight loss but maybe it does for other things ? Siān 14-01-2005, 18:23 is the relief long term for pain? for eg a total cure from pain? I think it depends on what has caused the pain in the first place. I've come across people who've had neck/ back injuries who found that acupuncture totally cured the pain. It didn't cure the pain totally for me (but I don't think anyone's come up with a lasting form of pain relief for the pain associated with M.E) but the improvements it did make were permanent.
