Qigong

Is qigong more powerful than acupuncture?
Why or why not? Done for acute symptoms or for proactive wellness? What is their relationship?
Oh, and with or without placebo effect (obviously when acupuncture works in animals, it’s not due to psychological expectations)? Sorry, answer #1 doesn’t give a good answer.
Wow, skepdoc, please just stop replying. You’re not answering my question at all. I’m looking for an answer comparing the two, not a rejection of both.
They both help raise Qi (life energy) throughout the body but with Qigong, you get to be your body’s own pilot and it also helps free the mind & reduce stress, improve concentration & self esteem, etc. more like meditation does.
I personally love both.. but think practicing Qigong daily helps you get in touch with yourself and your inner powers more than acupuncture does…
Do both 
Edit: Ofcourse for acute symptoms one should use a more intense therapy…. As for myself I had Hyperthiroidism a few years ago and the symptoms all vanished after just going in for 5-6 treatmets..

”Alternative” Healthcare: A Comprehensive Guide (Consumer Health Library) $12.99 Raso examines the philosophical underpinnings of “alternative” medicine as well as hands-on healing, Qigong, and faith healing. He shows that, whatever the specific philosophy, the common denominator is a rejection of the scientific approach of modern medicine in favor of a belief in paranormal forces that influence the well-being of mind and body. The final section is a firsthand account of Raso’s many revealing visits to various “alternative” healthcare practitioners. The book concludes with an encyclopedic glossary of “alternative” healthcare terminology.”A thoroughly skeptical, debunking view of many alternative therapies. . . Recommended.” The Reader’s Review”This book is a timely and broad-based account. . . Well researched and referenced, it is a good introductory guide to the “Tower of Babel” of beliefs, mysticism, pseudoscience and empirical and statistically uncontrolled persona observations involved in such health care. . . . interesting insider information not seen in other literature . . . this book will do no harm to the gullible and desperate and is safe to recommend to patients.” Canadian Medical Association JournalRecommended book by the National Council Against Health Fraud |
