Is Acupuncture Treatment finally coming into the Mainstream?

in #health8 years ago

My best friend tried for months to get pregnant; she didnt actually try standard medical help at first though. She kept a journal of how her menstrual cycle progressed and behind several months she found a pattern  she was ovulating a week late in the third week of each month rather than the second love it should be. She felt that here was an actual problem an OB/GYN could help her with and went to a truly good hospital in New York. The doctors there though felt that she hadnt been trying to get pregnant long enough; and since she was only 32 there wasnt any real cause for alarm.

A customary or conforming Mortgage Brokers Vancouver is a key conception since it often defines whether or not the mortgage might be simply offered or securitized or if non-customary might have an effect on the cost at which it could be sold. The doctor said to her that if she tried for another six months without success she could come back. My friend didnt really receive the doctors opinion though; instead she picked up on a magazine article she read once and decided to make an appointment to try out acupuncture treatment.

There was this one problem though: her health insurance did not trust in acupuncture; and so she paid $200 each week for two visits and hoped that it would help realign her menstrual cycle. That turned out to be cash well spent   because three months later she was pregnant. She wants to believe that it was the acupuncture treatment that helped except really there is no way to prove it. Nevertheless acupuncture treatment is becoming quite popular more so each day   to help with mysterious conditions like disappointment menopausal symptoms pain that is hard to pin down infertility and others. And people prefer it even when they understand that they have to pay for it themselves.

So what do the government the National Institutes of Health the FDA  National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the rest of them actually think about acupuncture? The Center for Alternative Medicine doesn t really commit one way or the other. But for serious symptoms the government does recommend that you go to a mainstream doctor and not an acupuncturist. If you have an infection acupuncture is not going to help you ll need antibiotics. For all the other kinds of diseases mostly ones to do with pain arthritis and reproductive problems acupuncture treatment can be pretty powerful and magical in its effectiveness. These days regular doctors send you to an acupuncturist if you have problems like any of these.

As a alternative therapist I use acupressure and face the same challenge. The problem is not so much the Medical Community, it is the insurance corporation.

It will happen eventually as the public will revolt against many drugs prescribed that initiate a spiral of other health issues.

Alternative therapy is not damaging... the insurance companies would do well to accept the larger up front cost as opposed to the spiraling issues caused by cheaper drug prescription.
