Is acupuncture effective?
Yes - as long as you are totally honest about your symptoms to your doctor.Acupuncture has been proven to be more effective than conventional lower back pain treatments in a 2007 study.A different opinion:A skilled AP-ist does NOT need to know your symptoms. S/He will use pulse diagnostic, face-, tongue-, and other diagnostic methods to establish what is wrong. If the AP-ist needs to know your your symptoms s/he is NOT a classic therapeut and could be anything with no education.Be sure your AP-ist is accredited with a recognized organisation as British Acupuncture Council or similar. A minimum of three years study is necessary in addition to a medical education.A sure sign of not knowing what s/he is doing is the number of needles. FOUR needles is the MAXIMUM (or eight if symmetrical applied). The Yellow Emperor said: "The master uses ONE needle"The international opinion among medical personnel who is up-to date is that AP works if correctly applied. But it is not a panacea, as many believe. The World Health Organization has a special department for AP!A different opinion:Please note that several sites provides anecdotal evidence to prove their remedy effective. In real medical science proper double-blinded results must be presented and similar results must be replicable by other researchers. Anecdotal evidence has a value = 0, and should be read with scepticism. Actually if you want acupuncture to work; ignorance helps. The less know about it, the more you will be ready to accept questionable facts. And if you strongly believe in any placebo, it works!"The evidence as a whole suggests that the benefits of true acupuncture over sham acupuncture are almost clinically irrelevant," Eric Manheimer, MSAcupuncture and moxibustion is an external therapy.

Should you be worried if you are 33 weeks pregnant and the baby is still in breech position?
Babies will usually begin turning head down between weeks 28 and 32, and continue to turn on their own even during laborWays to turn a baby without medical intervention.Tilt Positions.These are probably the most frequently heard about. You can do it the easy way and use an ironing board lying on the couch. Place your feet up and your head down. The theory behind these is that your baby's head, the heaviest part of his or her body, will disengage from the pelvis and baby will turn head down. It's generally recommended to do this 20 minutes a day until baby turns. Some women report dizziness from being in this position. Always discuss this or any other exercise with your midwife or doctor.Light/Music.The use of light or music directly at your pubic bone is to encourage the baby to come towards the light or sound. Many women report success with this and this has no side effects. For a nice touch to this you can have your partner talk towards your pubic bone, again to encourage baby to move towards the sound. Do this as often as you like until baby turns head down.Water.Some claims state that diving into a pool or simply being in a pool will encourage baby to turn. Again, no real problems noted from being in a pool. Double check about the diving.Acupuncture.This has been used along with moxibustion for success in turning breech babies. The biggest difficulty here may be finding someone who practices these techniques.Chiropractic Care.Chiropractors skilled in certain techniques may be able to help turn the baby. Check with your local practitioner for more information about the Webster Technique.
