Paitents and people all over the world have been asking this question in the doctors office and other places about CAM ( Complementary and Alternative Medicine) Will the CAM therpaies help me? Many people have been using the CAM therapies for things such as; chemotherpay side effects, osteoarthritis, alzheimers, kidney disease even for their pets. Will it help you can really be answered for you, but by reading such clinical research conducted might show you that, its really worth the shot.
They have found that when an acupuncture needle is inserted at specific sites on the wrist, inside of the forearm or leg, this triggers the release of opioid chemicals in the brain that reduce excitatory responses in the cardiovascular system. This decreases the heart's activity and its need for oxygen, which in turn can lower blood pressure, and promotes healing for a number of cardiac ailments, such as myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood flow to the heart) and hypertension (http://www.camlawblog.com/). With electrical stimulation that was then next added lowered increased blood pressure from 40 to 50 percent.
Studies like this that you can read and ask about to a physician should be helpful in deciding wether or not CAM will work for you. There are many other studies that have been done that you can read on the site that was cited below.
