According to The World Health Organization acupuncture can treat 104 different conditions, including migraines, sinusitis, the common cold, tonsillitis, asthma, inflammation of the eyes, addictions, myopia, duodenal ulcer (damaged mucous membrane in a portion of the small intestine) and other gastrointestinal disorders, trigeminal neuralgia (a severe facial pain), Meniere’s disease (ringing in the ears coupled with dizziness), tennis elbow, paralysis from stroke, speech aphasia (loss of language abilities due to brain damage), sciatica, and osteoarthritis. Acupuncture is also effective in the treatment of a variety of rheumatoid conditions and brings relief in 80 percent of those who suffer from arthrosis. Acupuncture is also valuable in the treatment of environmentally-induced illnesses due to radiation, pesticide poisoning, environmentally toxic compounds, and air pollution.
Maoshing Ni, D.O.M., Ph.D., L.Ac., Co-Founder of Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Santa Monica, California, treats many conditions with acupuncture, and reports, that even in acute abdominal problems, acupuncture can be used before surgery to hold up the condition before it progresses further. Dr. Ni also treats hormonal imbalances that lead to menstrual- and menopause-related problems, and he helps many people with depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia without having to resort to psychiatric drugs.
Sir Jay Holder, M.D., D.C., Ph.D., Director of the Holder Research Institute in Miami, Florida, states that there are thousands of conditions that acupuncture is appropriate to treat. He recalls children in the emergency room on the verge of asthmatic asphyxiation being relieved in less than thirty seconds only with the use of acupuncture. Dr. Holder believes that acupuncture should be considered an essential life support measure for emergency room medicine.
