So, should I take the treatment?
What do YOU think? Do you trust any of these treatments? Are there any you reject? If you were sick, what would YOU do?
That’s your call. We are not qualified to give medical advice. (In fact, wasn’t that question #5?) Only you can decide whether a given therapy is right for you. But you can sort the good ideas from the not-so-good by seriously thinking about the five basic questions:
- What does it cost?
- Is it effective?
- What are the side effects?
- How strong is the evidence?
- Says who?
And always, consult with a trained medical professional before beginning any treatment.
i do know that needles do hurt.....baad. so i wouldnt do that but umm yeah if honestly if there where any other treatments than these i would if they wernt as painful. in my opinyon
I stongly dislike and have a fear of needles so i would probably go with the magnetic treatment. some peoplle say that needle therapy doesn't hurt at all because it doesn't puncture deep enough and the needle is s thin that you can hardly feel it. if didn't have phobia of needles I would probably use the needle therapy!!! I am ok with humans but i sometimes dislike them. sometimes they are mean and thats not cool.
Needles would hurt! I'm not brave enough to tr it, so I guess it's magnets for me!
i think needles would hurt
Needles are very scary!
if you close your eyes and sing a song in your head, you'll find that needles dont hurt that much. try it and let me know what you think!
uh, yeah needles do hurt and l am sorry that you r hurt FEEL BETTER!
Needles dont hurt that much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For people that are scared of needles... yeah it hurts!
ouch that would hurt
I'm allergic to statins. Otherwise that would clearly be the best-investigated effective choice.
someone close to me went to get accupunture and she said that it hurt and the person went away for too long without telling her she would return, scary.
i don't think i could ever get accupuncture. i am terrified of needles. i don't think i could take pills either. looks like it's magnets for me.
Needles are not scary...you chicken!!!!
it woul hurt my body too much to stick needles in there so mo i would not have this done
i won't ever get accupuncture
i heard that it was very effective and very painless
I think it is important to understand the prominence of pharaceutical companies in western medicine. These companies have a lot invested in proving the health beenfits of their medicine. Perhaps we should consider the validity of tests performed in Eastern settings as well to compare to the results of our Western sudies.
This exhibit is willfully ignoring excellent research at gold standard levels regarding acupuncture for pain relief. It is degrading how much ignorance is promoted when empirical research is available to show otherwise. The safety claims are also incorrect in light of all large studies on the specific topic. I consider thisprofessional slander and may cancel my membership if this level of pervasive misinformation is presented in the museum.
needles have always terrified me ao i probably wouldn't recommend that for people who are afraid of needles.
i really dont like needels so i brobly wont like it
I would never stick a bunch of needles in to myself!
why wouldn't you? It works great..
I would definitley choose the gold. However, this might be because I am willing to participate in scientific testing.
I don't like the idea of haing someone put needles in my body. Especially after you hear that you can't move around.
i dont like painful or sharp stuff
acupuncture is not painful, its actually surprisingly relaxing. i know you put needles in your body but the needles trigger a vortex of relaxation inside you.
There are randomized controlled trials (independently funded) that establish both the safety and efficacy of statin medications. As with any therapy, the decision to take it should be an informed discussion between you and your healthcare provider. If you want to spend your money on magnets, then it's a tax on people who don't understand science.
There are both anecdotal AND other forms of study on ear candles, magnets and acupuncture. In fact, most medical doctors refer patients for acupuncture because insurance PAYS for it. And it is hella cheapter than pharmaceuticals. Or do the pharmaceutical companies fund this exhibit?
hi joe by
Although it may be painful, acupuncture has been proved to be helpful during therapy sessions.
your right it does but it doesnt hurt that bad what i have heard
It can sting. It mostly depends on how relaxed you are when they insert the needles.
Acupunture works
Magnets I dought it
Acupuncture is fairly painless and stimulates the area in order for your body to heal itself - whether for pain or other ailments, I've found it to be helpful. Not sure whether or not I would try any of the other treatments - depends on what was going on and discussion with my doctor and family.
I probably would take needles going into my body last. I got enough of that when i got shots, and its very unreliable
i would choose magnets first then the needles
maybe i like needles because they dont hurt
i dont think i would trust any of these treatments!
then how would you feel better i would do magnets or needles
So... that is a bunch of needles in your skin at one time. Ouch!
The needles used in acupuncture are very very thin.
acupuncture works, but studies have shown that poking with toothpicks works just as well
this is very un safe iyou canget hurt or an diseas it is better to be safe than hurt this is an stupid idea
That would hurt. So theres 2 way only to do that? and thats when people need to take negative energey out and to be calm. And to take out negatie energy by having people poke them selfs with nedells? how is that suppose to help?.
Some of these things can be helpful, but all but one put you at a great risk for diseases and actupunture is never safe. So the question is: why would doctors produce these things when they know they have a risk? Obviously they don't think.
why would they do that
wooo....... i know
Doctors normally think that they need to do brand new things to keep us going every day, yet some of the things they produce aren't effected much less safe.
Ouch!
