Developed in the far east acupuncture is not practiced in Europe or the USA in the same way as say China. We don't have the time required to spend days sometimes weeks having needles stuck in us. So the quick in and out $80 treatment was developed for the western world. Its no where near as effective. Acupressure and Acupuncture can be very effective if applied correctly in the prescribed amount of time.
One therapy that is surpassing acupuncture is a new ( to the USA ) laser system that uses the meridian points in your body to produce a massive increase of endorphins ( this is what helps reduce or eliminate pain and makes you feel calm and relaxed )
Its just come to the USA from the UK by a company called Matrix Laser Centers and they use it to help people quit smoking. The results are extremely impressive topping an 85% success rate. I believe it will soon be available for Weight-Loss. Stress, Pain, Alcohol and drug addiction, Laser facial's !!!!!
There is no pain from needles no side effects and no drugs ( used in Europe and Canada for 30 plus years )
Sounds to me like the cure of the future

Has anyone had Acupuncture done before? I'm regretting it now, I can't even wash the dishes with out feeling pain.
