Study Shows Acupuncture Beneficial in Treating Alcoholism

A promising study called the “Controlled Trial of Acupuncture for Severe Recidivist Alcoholism,” published in the UK medical journal, The Lancet, volume 333, revealed the potential for acupuncture as a tool to help those suffering from alcoholism.

Eighty patients were divided into two groups–the treatment group received the appropriate acupuncture treatments and the control group received sham acupuncture. Sham acupuncture means the acupuncture points selected were not specific to treating their condition.

At the end of the study, only 1 out of the 40 control group patients completed it, while 21 out of the 40 treatment group patients did.

After a six-month follow-up, it was found that patients from the control group had over two times as many drinking incidents and visits to rehabilitation centers than did the patients from the treatment group. These results show a significant advantage for those using acupuncture to battle severe recidivist alcoholism.

    outdated junk automotive into money! It makes sense to promote
    your vehicle to a junk car buyer. We will inform you how to acquire a replica of your title.
    When you don’t have time to get a replica of the title we will do
    it for you. It also ensures that it have to be either reregistered or the title
    transferred. Getting a quote from us is simple. A few of these automobiles even end up abandoned in commercial parking heaps.
    If a junk car buyer just isn’t licensed, they’re unable to notify the
    state of the automobile sale and objective. Once we buy
    your automobile, we are going to flip the title into the state.
    These are state required forms. Some homeowners affiliation will
    penalize you for having your outdated automotive. This additionally
    releases you from the liability of your automobile. All junk automobile
    buyers have an obligation to notify the state of
    the purchase. These automobiles end up in garages, driveways or yards.
