Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 When I contacted several agencies a few months ago (including the WHO and DMX ) asking for information on studies demonstrating just the thing I was referring to I have been met with a big fat ZERO. There may be an 'immediacy' in the effect of TCM or acupuncture (as I believe Richard - acudoc said) that goes beyond the need to do double blind studies. BUT until TCM comes up with the goods in treating some of the 'diseases of civilisation' it will have to take a back seat to the cut / burn / poison mentality of WM. Sammy. I have done a couple of literature reviews into the main topics that CM treats i.e. pain and addiction. I've noticed that there are a number of flaws. They include: 1. a poor methodology used. 2. a poor control method or placebo needle although that has now been rectified by Streitberger's new placebo needle but no studies have used it as yet. 3. the emperical model of testing used by WM does not fit CM as CM is based of an individual syndrome differentation analysis whereas WM is all for one!
