A study carried out in a Tunisian hospital emergency department has found that, compared with morphine, acupuncture was associated with faster, more effective analgesia and was better tolerated. Clinicians allocated 300 patients with acute moderate to severe pain to either acupuncture or intravenous morphine. The acupuncture protocol allowed acupuncture points to be selected from a pool of predetermined points for each condition, and included the use of ashi points, thus providing sufficient standardisation to assist replication, while being flexible enough to allow for individualised treatments. The success rate (defined as a drop in pain intensity of at least 50% from baseline) was significantly different between the two groups (92% in the acupuncture group versus 78% in the morphine group). Pain resolution time was 16 minutes in the acupuncture group, compared with 28 minutes in the morphine group. Adverse effects were also significantly fewer in the acupuncture group.

I have tried acupuncture several times before. I experienced excruciating back pain last year. Doctors gave me pain killers and morphine. It helped but the pain did not totally subside. A friend called and I told her my condition. She suggested that I call an acupuncturist. So I did what she told me. After three sessions, the pain subsided. I really opt acupuncture over a shot of morphine.

My Partner and I have was suffering from Herpes simplex for years. We have tried so many solutions with no result. One fateful day while browsing through the internet I saw a testimony of a client who got cured from herpes by Dr. Robinson buckler through herbal medicine so I decided to give a try. A try that changed our life for good. I contacted Dr. Robinson buckler and he sent some herbal medicine to us, which we took for 14 days.
