Acupuncture Helps Diabetes
Dubai Wellbeing Center
Acupuncture and Chinese treatments are a better alternative
than existing treatments and have no side effects. Doctor
Li Dong, head of diabetic treatment & research at “Cha-slu”,
Dubai Wellbeing Center said: “Many assume that acupuncture
is only suitable for treating pain, perhaps because the initial
introduction of acupuncture to the west in 1972 was with flashy
stories about analgesia provided by acupuncture during surgery.
However 1 out of 3 patients coming in to our center has Diabetes.
After attending a seminar in New York about the diabetics
and seeing that some American Chinese doctors have succeeded
in treatment, I wanted to conduct the study in UAE. The results
are excellent and we have started working closely with western
doctors now to treat the patients with these new techniques.”
"Clinical and Experimental Study in Treating Diabetes
Mellitus by Acupuncture IN UAE" will be presented next
year in Beijing to more than thousand delegates from all over
the world. The study, led by Dr. Li and 16 other doctors from
UAE, studied 60 diabetic patients from the UAE. Experts divided
them randomly into two groups: the acupuncture group (38 patients)
and the control group (22 patients). Both groups followed
a regulated diet during the study, but one group received
acupuncture at three points. The treatment was administered
once a day for 30 days.
Among the 22 participants who took usual Diabetes-prescribed
drugs, there were 12 cases rated as effectively treated and
8 cases as markedly effective. However 20 of them showed serious
side effects such as kidney malfunction. On the acupuncture
group 27 patients were treated successful and 11 needed more
treatment. However none of the 38 patients showed any side
effect.
