Further confirmation of the existence of enhanced placebo acupuncture responses and other device placebos comes from a series of large meta-analyses examining placebo responses of different types of placebo (with the exception of one, all include sham acupuncture). These meta-analyses compared the impact of different types of placebos The table clearly shows that sham acupuncture has superior effects, compared with other types of placebo except with the possibility of sham surgery. The final entry at the bottom of the table on knee osteoarthritis deliberately does not include sham acupuncture but shows clearly that the more elaborate the placebo treatment: the more elaborate the ritual, the higher the placebo effects.

It's an interesting treatment, but if it works that's all that matters.

It's annoying, and 45 certainly seems too soon, but, it's not bad pain, just nagging crap, stiff ribs in my chest and back, muscles that never stop being sore, this achillies thing and probably some mild arthritis in my knees. Maybe I should try yoga or something, that sounds expensive though.

I'm the same age as you and the only thing that's reduced pain especially in my bad etc is intense weight lifting with a focus on core. 3 years later I feel like a different person. I just do 1-2 hours a week.

My wife wanted meds to cure it, nope.

She wanted Chiro to cure it as she'd had success before with other issues, nope.

She never tried Acupuncture before so was skeptical, it worked.

So I don't know about the sham part as once cured the acupuncturist did not, unlike some Chiro, suggest repeated follow up visits.

That was pre Covd and she's been fine ever since.
 
Acupuncture was suggested to me. I need to look into it as I have no qualms about trying it with skepticism.
 
I want to dig my brain out. 3 doses of migraine medicine have been ineffective :cry
 
I don't think Acu is a scam, I just think it's only good for some things, but I am not a doctor. My BFF goes every week. If it works it's good.

I actually have an interested individual coming to see the room today! I've gotten a few queries but the first one was a clear scam (it is a serious red flag if you can't verify someone even exists on the internet), and 2 "Is the room available? Yes" no response.

There's a fair amount of free stuff on youtube that you can follow along with that will make a big difference in little stuff like that.

Was a cool vid with the motors, those nuts are crazy, but the problem with all these Sias is they sound the same as all the Duas , and Billie Elishes and I don't know what else.

Or maybe it's my recollection simply

Admittedly not but I've heard very mixed things from male and female friends, so I guess my statement was idiotic :)

It's on the list

Good guy came to see the place today, seems like we have a lot in common. Man I feel old compared to these mid 20s software developers :)

Just recently saw Barbie (it's on Hulu now). My only awareness of Barbie was being coerced to play with Ken when my parents friends watched us (they only had girls). Found the movie pretty funny.
 
Also, what a wasted day, just spent it all with the leg elevated watching crap or surfing the web. Can't even mess with videos as sitting at my desk seems to be what resulted in the irritation, or at least pushed it over the edge. Rain tomorrow so another wasted day is likely. Might have to find a book to read.
 
Just say no..to..triples??

Anyone tried TJs brand bourbon, cask strength, 62% wtf?

I’d watch Barbie if it’s free on subscription , sure.
