Will this increase the number of red and white blood cells? I don't think so.One of my fans sent me a clipping from a community newsletter, Colorado Serenity, with an article by Christina Fick, who calls herself a doctor. It's called "Give Your Immune System Some Love!" There are things that harm the immune system and things that help it. My correspondent thought it was a cornucopia of questionable medical advice and treatments. He was concerned about the claim that acupuncture increases your red and white blood cell counts. He searched the internet for articles about red and white blood cells, but he couldn't find anything from a medical source, and he couldn't find any mention of T-cells.My review of the evidence.I did my own research on the internet.A study by a Turkish author was published in a Korean journal. The language is hard to understand. What did we say? All of the autoimmun diseases have the same starting places. All of them are starting from the mesodermal layer. This is a detail that we noticed.An article in US pharmacist asked if there was a role for acupuncture in managing Chemotherapy-Induced Leukopenia. The review was a systematic one, but the authors characterized it as preliminary and hypothetical.For instance, many websites claim that acupuncture improves immunity.Post-Chemo patients can benefit from the use of acupoints to help alleviate side effects of their treatment. Multiple studies have shown that the use ofAcupuncture with Moxa and/orElectro-acupuncture increases the number of white blood cells and may improve immunity.There are websites that discuss treatment of neutropenia, but they don't mention acupuncture.A systematic review found that the effectiveness of acupuncture for nausea and vomiting was not known due to high risk of bias in the studies.Animals were used in many of the studies. One found that the sympathetic nervous system of mice was stimulated by the stimulation of the T cells from the bone marrow.A study in 2015 found that bee venom acupuncture alleviated experimental encephalomyelitis by upregulating regulatory T-cells.Who is Christina Fick?She claims to be one of the top acupuncturists in the nation. She studied the benefits of acupuncture after she was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 She is one of two other acupuncturists in Colorado. They offer a number of questionable treatments such as electric dry needling, cupping, kinesio taping, and fertility acupuncture. They treat the disease. Fick's Orvience line of overpriced supplements, vitamins, and other products are sold at their store.There is not much evidence to support the claim that acupuncture increases red and white blood cells.I agreed with my correspondent. It is possible to find studies that support those claims, but they are scattershot, often in animals, and are from unreliable sources. Even if it can be proven that acupuncture has effects on blood tests, that doesn't mean it will have a significant effect on health outcomes in humans. margarine and sugar, vitamins, supplements, mushrooms, 60 ounces of water a day, apple cider vinegar, and steam showers are all recommended by Fick in her article. Her advice is just speculation and opinion. It can be ignored since it isn't based on credible scientific evidence.
