Objectives: This was a randomized controlled pilot trial to evaluate the effectiveness of cupping therapy for neck pain in video display terminal (VDT) workers. Methods: Forty VDT workers with moderate to severe neck pain were recruited from May, 2011 to February, 2012. Participants were randomly allocated into one of the two interventions: 6 sessions of wet and dry cupping or heating pad application. The participants were offered an exercise program to perform during the participation period. A 0 to 100 numeric rating scale (NRS) for neck pain, measure yourself medical outcome profile 2 score (MYMOP2 score), cervical spine range of motion (C-spine ROM), neck disability index (NDI), the EuroQol health index (EQ-5D), short form stress response inventory (SRI-SF) and fatigue severity scale (FSS) were assessed at several points during a 7-week period. Results: Compared with a heating pad, cupping was more effective in improving pain (adjusted NRS difference: -1.29 [95% CI -1.61, -0.97] at 3 wk (p=0.025) and -1.16 [-1.48, -0.84] at 7 wk (p=0.005)), neck function (adjusted NDI difference: -0.79 [-1.11, -0.47] at 3 (p=0.0039) and 7 wk (p< 0.0001)) and discomfort (adjusted MYMOP2 difference score: -0.72 [-1.04 to -0.40] at 3 wk and -0.92 [-1.24, -0.60] at 7 wk). Significant improvement in EQ-5D was observed at 7 wk (1.0 [0.88, 1.0] with cupping and 0.91 [0.86, 0.91] with heating pad treatment, p=0.0054). Four participants reported mild adverse events of cupping. Conclusion: Two weeks of cupping therapy and an exercise program may be effective in reducing pain and improving neck function in VDT workers.

Treating Cancer with Bicarbonate Of Soda! Baking soda cancer cure?









Are you sick, tired or overweight? Change it right now by going to.... ******************* www.outstandinghealthnow.com ************************ This is a link to the Burzynski movie www.youtube.com Can you treat or even cure cancer with sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda? Dr Burzynski seems to think that you can and there has been a very interesting documentary made about just that featuring doctor Burzynski! Most people think that proper treatment for cancer has to be what "modern western medicine" says it is, which basically means, chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, or powerful pharmaceutical drugs. This is just one belief system, but has nothing to do with the truth. A naturopath, or chinese medicine practitioner or a detoxification specialist will have other ideas. The truth is that there is no such thing as proper treatment for cancer, only what works and that is largely down to the individual showing the symptoms. By opening up to possibilities is probably the most important first step in healing or treating anything! One thing is for sure and that is there is little money to be made in treating people with cancer with baking soda! ; ) Tags: treating cancer bicarbonate of soda "baking soda cancer cure" Burzynski movie health healing natural alternative belief systems "sodium bicarbonate" cure treatment chemo teeth whitening radiotherapy chemotherapy chinese medicine nutrition medical
