As someone who has been healed by way of alternative medicine several times, I find your self-assured assertions about acupuncture quite ridiculous and close-minded. After viewing this video electric acupuncture therapy makes sense to me, especially with regards to why it would enhance the treatment and work.

And whats so ridiculous and “close-minded” about it? Are they passing electric current into the body? Yes. Is that a non-alternative medicine treatment?Yes it is. Nothing I said was an assertion either. When acupuncture fails in high quality,double blinded studies and proponents of the treatment have to revert to doing un blinded studies and add electrical shock to the therapy,that means it doesn’t work on its own merit.

Assertion A: “nothing about this is traditional Chinese acupuncture”
Assertion B: ” in no way shows that real acupuncture is an effective treatment”
Assertion C: “mystic alternative chi crap”
All assertions. all made in your statement above. Though I firmly believe in science, it seems to me as though you are slipping into the void of strict positivism. There is a wealth of knowledge that cultures around the world have developed over time, with acupuncture and qi being part of that wealth. -

A.Electric Pulse therapy is not traditional Chinese acupuncture.Using acupuncture needles to administer the electric current does not make it acupuncture.
B.Giving a treatment that is not traditional acupuncture does not show that traditional acupuncture is effective.Actual studies of the effectiveness of traditional acupuncture are not assertions,they are tests which the treatment fails. I don’t think you know what the word assertion means-it means a statement without evidence. -

C. Chi is pre-scientific knowledge of how the body creates the energy it uses. Mitochondria is where we get our energy from,and we can see it,test it,prove its there.Chi however is some un measurable,undetectable “energy” that comes from invisible “meridians” in the body which don’t exist and haven’t been shown to exist,that you have to believe in like a religion-that’s mysticism.

I think you need to look up the word assertion quickly, before you keep misusing it and spreading your own, fallacious definition. Assertion has nothing to do with spreading a statement “without evidence.” Look it up. All I’m saying is that I’m glad that I believe in science and reason without falling into the trap of positivism (you should look that term up too while you are at it), yet I leave room for exactly that: mysticism. You have a Very Western view of the world. You should open up.

I appreciate many of the videos on your account because they make a scathing and forceful critique of those who put religion above everything. However, I think you have put too much stock on things that are “measurable,” or tangible. I wonder if you’ve studied philosophy, empiricism, rationalism–there are a lot of things that we have no answer for that are beyond comprehension. Cultures everywhere have gathered plenty of ‘mystic’ knowledge that is valued and kept secret because it’s useful.

Really though, what I want to know is this. How many doctors have time to go on youtube and look up acupuncture videos? I mean, Doctors are usually very busy. Now, how many doctors are going to take that spare time and search for something they hate (assuming they don’t believe in acupuncture). So, all of your arguments are ridiculous. I seriously doubt any of you know any more than what you’ve been told on some website. Is acupuncture effective? I don’t know. But don’t pretend you know it all.

People watching this should understand that nothing about this is traditional Chinese acupuncture,and in no way shows that real acupuncture is an effective treatment.What they are doing here is electric pulse therapy-which actually does work-and then passing it off as acupuncture-which fails miserably on its own merit-just because they are administering the electric impulse through their acupuncture needles. If you get this you are basically getting real therapy,not mystic alternative chi crap.
