Summary

Acupuncture is the best cure for headaches, says new research published in the British Medical Journal. Acupuncture has been gaining acceptance in the last few years, although most Western doctors remain skeptical (primarily since they don't understand how it works). But remember: it has been used for more than 5,000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I've personally seen acupuncture work what can only be called miracles. In one case, a person suffering from severe migraines was completely cured with a series of eight acupuncture treatments.

In another case, an older woman suffering from serious inner ear problems that made her feel dizzy (and start vomiting) every time she stood up was permanently cured of the condition with a single acupuncture treatment. I know this woman, and she related the entire experience to me. She remains healthy and 100% free of symptoms even today.

These are just two small examples, there are literally millions more. Acupuncture works. And it works without prescription drug side effects, without surgery, and without other radical medical procedures that seem to be preferred by most doctors in the U.S.

It should be humbling to modern medicine to realize that the Chinese had all this figured out centuries ago. But, of course, modern medicine is hardly humble.

Details

  • ACUPUNCTURE is the best treatment for people who suffer from chronic headaches, according to the largest study into the effectiveness of this therapy for treating migraines.
  • British doctors recruited 401 patients who suffered from several days of severe headache each week.
  • Patients were allotted randomly to a group that received up to 12 acupuncture treatments per week, or to a control group that received conventional headache treatment, based on medication.
  • Each volunteer was asked to complete a diary, detailing the frequency and severity of their headaches and medicine use, for four weeks at the start of the study; again at three months; and finally at one year.
  • The study, led by Andrew Vickers, a researcher at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, was published online on Monday by the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
