Oriental theraphy Don't be afraid!

Acupuncture is an Oriental theraphy, of which origin no one knows clearly, but it is easy to guess; the human being is doomed to suffer from pains and diseases, and it has been struggling to find theraphies in many ways: suppose, then, someone discovered by chance that to put a needle in the damaged part of his body decreased its pains!!!Acupuncture has a more than three thousand year history in China and has been more activated in the leadership of soldiers of the Red Army who are not at all doctors nor surgeons, but more passionate amateurs who sympathize with the poor and the diseased.
　　Now I will describe the process of acupuncuture.
　　First of all, proper acupoints must be chosen. They are different from person to person; they differ from day to day even in the case of the same disease in the same person. An acupuncturer feels the skin of a patient carefully, and he finds some points colder, softer, rougher, or rockier than those parts of skin which surround them. The difference shows what the patient suffers from. Talking and understanding between acupuncturer and patient make the acupuncture therapy easy and comfortable,and make the time shorter to find proper acupoints.
　　Now disinfection should be done to fingers, palms, needles, and acupoints with a piece of rubbing cotton soaked in ethanol or alcohol. Some people believe that needles may cause a pathogenic activity, but it is one of prejudices accupuncture suffers from. The easiest and safest way to keep the patient from contageous dangers is to ask him/her to keep their own acuneedles for themselves.
　　Disinfection is surely effective, and acupuncture is much different from injection, for the former puts finer needles safely through cells, and rarely causes bleeding, while the latter puts bold and razor-sharpened needles into the skin, destroys tissues and cells, and always causes bleeding.
　　After disinfection, the acupuncturer holds tightly the end of the needle's grip with his thumb and index finger. He guides the needle's pinpoint with his thumb and index finger of another hand, and puts it into the skin as fast as possible. Putting it slowly may cause some pain, for it stimulates nerves which expand like a network 0.5 to 1 mm deep under the skin.
　　After the needle has passed through the nerves, he takes a time of five to ten seconds just for the readjustment of the needle's direction. Then he begins to put it in again slowly , feeling for a proper acupoint. When it arrives there, his needle feels heavy; the feeling of heaviness is the sign that it has really reached the acupoint. Simultaneously the patient may say something like "It feels like an electricity, "It is comfortable,'" or "Ouch!" He stops it there and then for five to ten minutes, turns it to and fro, or shakes it, every now and then. Instead of turning and shaking, he may put and burn a small cone of moxa on the top of the needle, or he can also give an electricity with an electro-therapeutic apparatus. Heat and electricity are effective stimuli to the body organization.
　　When the time is up, he makes sure the skin around the acupoint has turned into a red or pink color, which tells him that the needle has worked well. The healthier a patient is, the sooner his skin turns red or pink. Now he withdraws the needle slowly in the same manner with that of putting it in, and when he has withdrawn it, he puts one of his fingers on the very acupoint for fear of bleeding.
　　Acupuncture causes no side-effects, and cures any disease; even cancer will be cured in the near future, for some report from China has shown that they discovered the proper acupoints for cancer. Medications and operations cost high, and are dangerous.
It is worth trying; everybody can try it. But try it first with your body. It is the best and shortest way to know it.
