Acupuncture Gets its Point AcrossMany physicians are skeptical of the pain-killing effects of acupuncture and that much of the effect could be placebo. Dr. Huey-Jen Lee of Chicago has performed a new study using classical acupuncture for pain control and has measured the pain controlling effect with a new MRI scanner. This new scanner is accepted as the "Gold Standard" for measurement of pain centrally in the brain. The result of his study on twelve healthy volunteers exposed to painful noxious stimuli was very significant. In one group treated with classical acupuncture, four of seven responded on a personal rating scale that corresponded with fMRI measurements in the brain. The second group of five people using electro-acupuncture, had a one hundred percent response to decrease in pain, both on a personal rating scale and by fMRI. Edited from the Medical Post, January 4, 2000, Page 15. Obviously this is a major coup for supporters of classical and advanced forms of acupuncture and needle therapy. The Lamb Program™ can be helpful for total body stretching and may help overall health. Watch for more on acupuncture on DrLamb.com.
