DOUBLE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS WITH ACUPUNCTURE

Obesity in America has reached epidemic proportions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state the percentage of people who meet the definition of obesity has

In the control group, patients were instructed to follow a restricted diet and were also asked to follow an aerobic exercise program that required between 20 and 30 minutes of walking,cycling or swimming three times per week.

Patients in the Acupuncture group were asked to follow the same diet and exercise program as the control group, but also received 20 minutes of Acupuncture twice per week for five weeks. In addition, a small patch containing a stainless steel pellet was taped over the hunger point of each ear, and worn for the duration of the study. Patients were asked to press on the pellets for one minute upon waking, before each meal or snack, and at other times in the morning and afternoon.

Patients in the Acupuncture group lost an average 10.6 pounds per person. Patients who followed the diet and exercise program, but who were not treated with Acupuncture, only lost an average of 5.3 pounds over the same period of time. Nine Acupuncture patients lost OVER 11 pounds during the course of treatment!!!

Acupuncture is obviously effective in addition to regular exercise and a sensible diet in the promotion of weight loss.
