NIH funded study and 2 pilot studies being held @ Columbia NYC

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody, I am sending out this post in hopes that it may

benefit you or your patients living in and around NYC. There is a

study going on that is funded by the NIH and being held at Columbia

University School of Nursing, in NYC. The study is a controlled

clinical trial that is testing Acupuncture +/or Moxabustion to

reduce the frequency of diarrhea in HIV+ individuals. If you know of

anybody who can benefit from these free treatments (there is also

compensation) please spread the news to those who can benefit. There

are also 2 pilot studies being held. The first pilot study is for

HIV+ individuals who experience nausea +/or vomiting symptoms. The

other study is primarily for patients who experience " IBS " symptoms.

The only criteria that the patient must fall under is 1- they have

been diagnosed with IBS from their western doctor and 2- they must

be b/t the ages of 18- 70 yrs old. All treatments are given by

licensed acupuncturist and are held in a clinical setting at

Columbia. There is also compensation for the treatments the patients

come to. Please, if you know of anybody whether patients, family, or

friends who may be interested in any three of these studies, do not

hesitate to get in touch with me. There is an increased need for

research to expand past only western modalities. We need the

practitioners, patients and the community to help bridge this gap.

Unfortunately you can only go so far into " proving " what works when

dealing with the energy systems of the body, so pressure is on us to

ascertain proper and positive results. Thank you so much for your

time. If you have any questions +/or need more information please

contact me at sam2113 Thanks again-
