DIY Acupuncture For When TSHTF, by Rose R.
Imagine a scenario where there are no more hospitals, no more drugs, no more pharmacies, no more walk in clinics. No more ER’s or Acute Care Clinics. The OTC medicine’s shelves have been cleaned bare by looters. All the nurses and orderlies and support staff have fled the ruins of the healthcare edifices to be with their families. The modern healthcare system is no more.
Now imagine someone you are depending on for your security and perhaps even survival wrenching their back while hopping out of the back of a pick up. Their back muscles seizing up so tight and the pain that they are experiencing, so excruciating that they can barely walk, let alone perform the tasks necessary for survival in a post TSHTF world. With modern healthcare now non-existent, what are you going to do?
Now, given the fact that our American healthcare system is highly dependant on high cost, high tech interventions, the idea that our current healthcare system would very quickly suffer a horrible degradation should TSHTF is a very real probability.
Given that high tech complexity and the subsequent hole that will be left should our healthcare system ever collapse, it makes sense to prepare by learning a low cost, easy to use, scientifically proven, versatile form of medical care not dependant on electrical power, knowledge of advanced applied organic chemistry or even nuclear science (all of which modern medicine is based on). With this single article, you have the tools to offer your loved ones the benefit of the 2500 years of proven effectiveness acupuncture provides.
Should one find themselves in a TEOTWAWKI situation, acupuncture could be very useful in a wide range of medical situations when medications are hard to come by (or increasingly expensive). Acupuncture is free when you know how to do it. Since most clinical studies show that acupuncture has a long lasting pain relieving effect, it could be very useful in post-pharmaceutical America.
I believe that knowing a little bit of acupuncture could not only prove potentially lifesaving for ones own inner-circle of family members, but also would be a skill that would quickly become a valuable tradable service in a post pharmaceutical healthcare landscape.
Acupuncture. Really???
Dating back thousands of years, the practice of acupuncture has held the distinction of being one of the worlds most commonly used and scientifically tested and verified forms of medical care. While it is common in China to utilize acupuncture as routinely as an aspirin, here in America, acupuncture is still relatively portrayed as an exotic, mystical or mysterious voodoo medicine by popular media. That is unfortunate because with a little bit of instruction (as in this article) anyone could learn to perform a simple yet effective acupuncture treatment with great results.
Acupuncture has shown itself over the centuries to be one of the most versatile medical therapies out there (being utilized for just about any dysfunction in the body, from digestive health issues to urinary issues to allergies). I often say that it’s easier to list the things acupuncture cannot treat than to go down the much longer list of the things it can be successfully used for.
