I dont know if i should believe this or not:

NEEDLE CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT

When a stroke occurs, stay calm.
No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her. Because, if moved, the capillaries will burst.
Help the victim to sit up where he/she is to prevent him/her from falling over again and then the blood letting can begin.
If you have in your home an injection syringe that would be the best.
Otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do.
1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it and then use it to prick the tip of all ......10 fingers.
2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about an mm from the fingernail.
3. Prick till blood comes out.
4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.
5. When all 10 digits is bleeding, wait a few minutes then the victim will regain consciousness.
6. If the victim's mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are red.
7. Then prick each earlobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each earlobe.
After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.
Wait till the victim regains his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital. Otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.

'I learned about letting blood to save life from Chinese traditional doctor, Ha Bu Ting, who lives in Sun Juke.

I did acupuncture for the first time today and she gave me some herbs that are XIAO HUO LUO WAN under it in small letters it say Arisaema & Aconite Qi- Activating Pill
She said this would help with improving energy. But when I google it all I am finding is that its used to treat rheumatic ache and pain in the extremities????

Me and my mom are planning to go to Norway to practice acupuncture/Chinese herbs/massage therapy(we live in the US now). We needed to know what it requires to practice and if we would be welcome. My mom and me are Asian and my dad says the Norwegians hate foreigners. we were planning just to stay for a year or two.

I am highly interested in Naturopathy, Herbology, Holistic Nutrition.. the whole Alternative Medicine area. I would like to study chinese medicine because the schools cover all that I am interested in and are usually accredited. However, I have essential tremors that would prevent me from performing safe acupuncture, which plays a major role in chinese medicine and would be hard to bypass. So it looks like a Chinese Medicine education is out of the question for me : (. I have looked into Naturopathic Schools but in many states it is illegal, including my own. Alternative medicine is definitely something I would like to pursue in but I definitely want a full accredited title with hands on experience. Any advice?

This past weekend, I watched Kiss of the Dragon with Jet Li. In that movie, his character travels to France. The main villain made an interesting comment when they were first introduced. He said, "After all, what is our history compared to yours?" He made another statement about the dietary habits of both places. He even complimented the way they cut the meat into smaller peaces before they eat it with chopsticks. I wish they did that here. In western societies, we're all accustomed to eating with silverware. Personally, I've grown akin to using chopsticks. If I ingest a soup, then I'll use one of those Asian ladles. I think the way Asian people eat is actually healthier than the way most westerners do. How often do you encounter an Asian person who is overweight. I'm certain it's from eating fast food. After all, McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken have several chain stores in those countries now. I look at it this way. Those countries' histories are ancient compared to ours. Acupuncture, mahjong, martial arts, tai chi, yoga, and meditation work wonders. So do chakras, feng shui, ujjayi breathing. They eat small portions each day like many nutritionists here suggest. In many of those countries, bicycles are ubiquitous. They're obviously doing something right if they've maintained their cultural identities for thousand years. How can over a billion Chinese people be wrong?
That's why you cut the steak into small scraps before you ever even eat it. That's what they do at Asian restaurants. They cut it small to save you the trouble. Chopsticks are easy once you figure them out. Like I said, how can over a billion Chinese people be wrong?
Oscar: Actually firearms are originally oriental. They invented gunpowder. Marco Polo brought that back to Italy along with the noodles to make pasta. In China, they also invented fireworks, kites, coal-burning, the wheelbarrow, and the compass. That fine tea that the English make is actually from India and other places in the Far East. You'd be surprised how ingenious they were long before they were ever encountered by European settlers.

I am renting a 3 bedroom townhouse with my dog and an awesome laid-back roomate (thanks, internet!) but unfortunately the landlady is not so laid back. Upon signing my lease, I understood that my dog was allowed, and that there would be some level of privacy. I'll try to itemize this to make for a quicker read.

-She is from China, and though she speaks English much better than I could ever hope to speak Chinese, we still have a pretty hard time understanding eachother sometimes.

-Before moving in, she was told that I have a great dane. a then 90, now 110 lb dog. Somehow she got "small" out of this. She met my dog 3 weeks ago and seemed surprised at how big he was, but didn't mention any issues and even petted him and tried to get her grandson (2 yrs old) to play with him.

- She comes and goes as she pleases. She will come over as she apparently has some acupuncture clients in the area and will turn our living room into her office every couple of weekends.

-She left her acupuncture equipment out and my dane chewed on part of the head rest. Suddenly Large dogs are not allowed and he must go, my security deposit will oddly not cover the damage and I am told that I need to replace the piece out-of-pocket.

-When the headrest incident occurred, she stated that I must also pay to have the carpet cleaned as my dog has had too many accidents on it. This is where I almost lost it. Stein has never had an accident since he was 10 weeks old. Her daughter that lived there before me had 4 bichon frises. I'm pretty sure that if my dog had peed, you wouldn't be able to cover the stain with a 3x5 card. You'd need a freakin' posterboard.

-Every time she visits- she tells me that I need to be cleaning more. That she has clients here and cannot have it looking dirty. I mean- there are never dirty dishes out, I sweep daily and vaccuum weekly- but I am not paying her rent just so I can be her office maid. Not unless it cheapens my rent anyway.

I know this was really long- but I am at my wit's end and am ready to belt this woman. It has gotten to the point that I am leaving the townhouse and visiting friends or family each weekend just to avoid her b/c I know I will end up telling her off.
My lease is up in December and I am getting out of there! When I signed the lease, I had no idea that she used the place to work. I would not have signed the lease if I had known that.

The lease mentions NOTHING about her business. But it does mention my dog.

If she used the spare bedroom- I wouldn't even mind! But the fact that she uses the living room and expects me to keep it to her standards of cleanliness drives! me nuts

I born Japan, study several karate dojo. My lover Kyojin know Japan, China, Korea, Tibet martial arts. I tell him I hear China man touch Japan man on hand make him vomit, have diarrhea weeks later. Kyojin say intestine have chi meridian on hand joint of thumb-forefinger, Chinese use dim hsueh on it. Also hear Chinese not touch, just point hand at inside man's knee, cause liver illness. Kyojin show me dummy and drawings use in acupuncture, acupressure, moxibustuiin, show liver chi pass on inside knee. Kyojin say man use hung sha dzung this time. He say he study them, not know if they real or not. He have some books. I not read much Chinese. Kanji copy Chinese writing, verbs different, we use Katakana-Hiragana phonetics. One seem say touch foot right time make man die in 2 years. I not believe all this. You think one make man sick or die just with touch or not touch, just point hand at him? Kyojin say some men say Bruce Lee killed by dim hsueh or hung sha dzung.

Hey. I'm doing a debate for my science class and I am defending Alternative Meds. It would help me and my partner a lot if any of you could give us some statistics of how many successful treatments there have been. Please remember that we were assigned this side of the debate and did not choose.

We already know examples of A.M all we need are statistics, whether they are all as one or separate for the different Alternative meds.

examples include naturopathy, chiropractic, herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, homeopathy, acupuncture, and diet-based therapies

Thank you.

EDITED: we're not ashamed of our assignment but from past experience some people like to asume that we are really trying to convince the world about our topic and we end up with the names like "crazy" or "stupid"

Filipinos should remember that not only the Spaniards conquered the Philippines for 3-400 years, the Chinese were colonized by India for 2,000 years, in terms of religion and culture. I bet you that the Chinese were dumbfounded and upset when the East-Indians set foot on Chinese soil to present their religion (buddhism) and culture. Besides, the Chinese did not develop buddhism, kung fu, acupuncture, etc. All this time, I thought that Chinese people did all those things. But, anyway, if you want to see more about Chinese history or the origins of the Chinese religion and culture, go to this webpage at http://www.hinduwisdom.info/India_and_China.htm

My mom has a terrible back pain for years. She has seen doctor and also has tried everything like acupuncture and all sorts of traditional Chinese / Japanese treatments, yet they didn’t help!

I heard about “chiropractic” that helps straighten the spine as she was told that her spine tends to curve a little bit to the right side.

Any advice?
