Do Herbal Remedies Work?

Today in the Parade magazine there was an article By Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld. The first paragraph sums up the effectiveness of acupuncture from the direct observations of a Wester Medical Doctor.

It's funny how many people, especially doctors will say that acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is un-proven and just a placebo. Sorry folks, but after thousands of years of EFFECTIVENESS, it has proven it is NOT a placebo, but a Natural, Safe and Effective form of true health care.

Another interesting fact, is that people accept western anesthesia, however scientist today still don't know exactly how it works. I have been told there are six theories on how it works, but nobody knows for sure. They just know how to make it work. It's the same thing with acupuncture. When we look through the eyes of Western science we don't know exactly how acupuncture works, however we Acupuncturists know how to make it work!

Years ago, I witnessed an open-heart operation at the University of Shanghai in China. The surgeons opened the chest of a young woman using acupuncture as the only “anesthesia.” This experience left me with an open mind about the possibilities of what was then called “alternative medicine.”

Natural remedies have been used for centuries. In fact, many of the prescription drugs we take are plant-based. Some 5 billion people worldwide rely solely on traditional plant-based treatments to heal what ails them, and more than half of Americans take dietary supplements, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
