Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi all, General health news taken from: http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/uknews/news20050330.shtml#3 A study conducted at Newcastle University by Dr Kirsten Brandt, has found that rats fed organic produce slept better, were slimmer and had stronger immune systems than other rats, with trials on humans planned. Brandt explains that " what this research shows is that clearly there are links between food and health that are to do with more than just nutrients " . New studies have shown that pierced lips could damage teeth, to the extent of making teeth fall out. The findings came after scientists monitored the dental health of dozens of students at America's Ohio University and British expert Prof Jimmy Steel is quoted saying " the gums become more prone to disease " . Attilio: I reckon that piercing in general affects the jinglou and will cause excessive stimulation to the point of damage. Does anyone else have thoughts on this or noticed anything in their patients that have piercing?

Does anyone else have > thoughts on this or noticed anything in their patients that have piercing? Hi Attilio! We were taught in school that wherever the ear piercing was, it deactivated that ear point. That was before people started getting pierced most anywhere. Barbarous practice.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi: After living near Venice Beach, tatoo and pierce capital of the world, for some years, the same thoughts occurred to me. Placing heavy steel and other metals around important acupoints will no doubt interfere with the electromagnetic properties of Qi. This Gen X will find itself in abysmal health conditions over the next 10-20 years.
