I was reading the newspaper the other day and I came across a centre page feature on Acupuncture. It seems to be getting a lot more attention these days, this article focussed on four women who’d failed to concieve via every “conventional” treatment, but who had great success via Acupuncture. Furthermore, in Men’s Health this month they mention research that shows acupuncture might be beneficial for certain types of Cancer!
In an earlier post I briefly touched on science finding out more about Acupuncture. It’s a very odd position to find myself in, escpecially given my views on scientific accuracy, at the moment I feel like science has it pegged up to a point, but there’s more.
It’s as if there’s a whole layer of things hidden away, and science is just starting to maybe peel back the cover and peek inside.
I think things are going to get very interesting as they learn more.

Thank you for your very good site! Back pain is the largest single reported cause of absence from work and leading cause of disability in UK,There are same problem in China.
China Charity Federation (CCF) launched a program to help children with curvature of the spine. Curvature of the spine, or scoliosis, may lead to chronic back pain and pinch internal organs such as the lungs or create an too-large cavity for the heart to fill. This program, a joint effort by the CCF, an orthopedic company and several hospitals, aims to help more than 100 children who suffer from scoliosis in 2006, with a budget between 5 million yuan (625,000 US dollars) to 7 million yuan (875,000 US dollars)
There are many charity hospitals offering free treatment for scoliosis children in UK and west country, but none in China.
