Acupuncture relief link identified 

• A biological molecule that may help explain the effects of acupuncture has been identified by scientists.

Acupuncture relief link identified

The chemical, adenosine, is a natural compound known for pain-killing and anti-inflammatory properties.

It also influences the heart and plays a role in regulating sleep.

Researchers found that adenosine is very active in tissues affected by acupuncture, the ancient Chinese treatment that involves inserting needles into sensitive points of the body.

The scientists performed acupuncture on mice suffering chronic inflammatory pain in one paw. Each animal received a 30-minute treatment with fine needles inserted into a known acupuncture point near the knee.

Acupuncture reduced discomfort by two-thirds in mice with normal levels of adenosine.

However, it had no effect on "knock out" mice genetically prevented from responding to adenosine, the researchers found.

During and immediately after acupuncture treatment, adenosine levels in the tissues near the needles were boosted 24-fold.

Maiken Nedergaard, from the University of Rochester Medical Centre in New York state, said: "Acupuncture has been a mainstay of medical treatment in certain parts of the world for 4,000 years, but because it has not been understood completely, many people have remained sceptical.

"In this work, we provide information about one physical mechanism through which acupuncture reduces pain in the body."

According to the Tobacco Manufacturers’ Association, the current recommended retail price for a pack of 20 cigarettes is £6.13. This means that if  smoke 20 cigarettes a day you  will spend a total of £2,237 a year on cigarettes! So if you quit, this will work out to be around £186 of extra cash per month for your wallet, which you can spend on whatever you want. Laser treatments  now start at £150.00 .....

According to the Surgeon General, there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke.  Every breath you take that contains tobacco smoke increases your risk of debilitating and even fatal illness.  That's why tobacco control laws are important.  Laws that eliminate workplace smoking, make smoking more expensive or help a smoker quit, ultimately reduces tobacco's terrible toll on our nation's health. Life Enhancing  Laser Programmes can helpmake a difference.
