Sit-ups carries a huge risk which may cause Paralysis

Anyone who can do a few sit-ups carries a huge risk. It may cause paralysis seriously.

Recently, a media reported that a 25-year-old man in Taiwan after doing a few sit-ups, feel the the general weakness below his neck. Sent to the hospital, he was aware of limb paralysis and incontinence.

谁都能做几个的仰卧起坐蕴含巨大风险。严重的可能致人瘫痪！

近日，外媒报道了，一名25岁的台湾男子在做了几个仰卧起坐后，觉得颈部以下全身无力。送到医院时，他意识清楚但四肢瘫痪、大小便失禁。

The doctor  found out that the way he did the sit-ups, resulting in cervical vertebrae could not stand the continuous force and burst.

医生检查后发现，男子以手抱头的方式仰卧起坐，导致颈椎内血管受不了连续施力而爆裂，血块压迫神经，因而颈部以下全身瘫痪。

Spinal Biomechanics at the University of Waterloo,Canada said "sit-ups can place hundreds of pounds of compressive force on the spine." on the Wall Street Journal.

据华尔街日报（ Wall Street Journal）的文章，加拿大滑铁卢大学脊柱生物力学（spine biomechanics）教授Stuart McGill 表示：仰卧起坐能够给脊椎造成上百磅（几十公斤）的压力

华尔街日报文章：

在McGill教授发表的数篇论文中，仰卧起坐的重复弯曲运动给脊柱带来巨大压力，挤压椎间盘。

最终导致椎间盘凸出，挤压神经，带来后背疼痛，带来椎间盘突出症。

文章节选：

美国海军时报（Navy Times）也发表文章，建议军队停止对士兵的仰卧起坐测试。文章称，仰卧起坐是“过时的训练、是后腰损伤的主因”。

海军时报文章：

文章称加拿大军队早就已经把仰卧起坐从士兵的体能测试里删除，因为“仰卧起坐可能造成脊柱和肌肉劳损，并且对士兵体能提高没有帮助”。

现在国外已经很少有人继续这项有危险的锻炼，因为国外的媒体几年前就屡屡发表文章告知公众仰卧起坐的危害：

三处损伤

仰卧起坐经典姿势：两腿弯曲/伸直-双手抱头-用力坐起来，相信这是大家经常采用的动作。然而如果长期这样做，将使得人体的三个部分受到伤害。　　

1. sit-ups are hard on your back

仰卧起坐损伤背部

仰卧起坐使弯曲的脊椎受到地面的反作用力；还会运动臀屈肌（hip flexor），可能导致背部弯曲，脊椎受损，腹肌不发达者尤易受伤。

臀屈肌拉伸太紧的时候，会牵扯下腰椎，从而造成背部不适。长期进行太多脊椎的屈曲会导致椎间盘突出等问题。

2. Sit-ups damage the cervical spine
仰卧起坐损伤颈椎

紧抱头部过度用力，使颈部过度屈曲，很容易引起颈部肌肉拉伤，对身体尚未发育完成的初中生、小学生尤为明显。

3. Sit-ups cause the loss of gluteal muscle
仰卧起坐损失臀肌

仰卧起坐的主要作用是增强腹部肌肉的力量，但许多急于求成者过于用力，使腹肌收缩变为臀肌收缩，会形成臀肌的疼痛。

The right posture of sit-ups

What to do instead of sit-ups?

用什么代替？

不做仰卧起坐，还能做什么？

很多专家建议人们做平板支撑：

与仰卧起坐和卷腹比起来，平板支撑更能锻炼你的肌肉。不仅无危害，而且能够训练全身的肌肉。

人活一口气。肾精气的充盈程度决定了人体的生命力的旺盛情况。正如《素问·金匮真言论篇第四》曰：“夫精者，生之本也。”。肾精气好比一部汽车的汽油，汽油有多少，车子就能跑多远。但是人体的这部车却不容易加上油，所以保养肾精气显得尤为重要。

现代人生活压力大，又加之生活坏习惯居多，所以肾虚乃为常态了。如何才能知道自己是否肾虚了呢？

肾位于腰部，左右各一，肾与膀胱相为表里。肾主藏精，主骨生髓，主生殖，司二便，肾先天之本，开窍于耳及二阴，其华在发。肾主水液，主纳气。在五行属水，在五季为冬天。

因为肾藏元阴与元阳，为人体生长发育之根本，脏腑机能活动之根本，所以肾脏一有损伤，则人体五脏皆病。还有肾多虚证，膀胱多见湿热之说。

肾虚在理论上分为：

一，肾阳虚:

症见：腰膝酸软疼痛，畏寒肢冷，下肢尤甚。精神萎靡，面色黧黑。男子阳萎，女子则宫寒不孕。脾失健运，久泄不止，完谷不化或五更泄泻。肾阳不足，膀胱气化功失利，易小腿水肿,如果水气凌心，可见心悸咳喘。

二，肾阴虚:

腰膝酸痛，眩晕耳鸣，失眠健忘多梦，男子遗精早泄，女子经少经闭，或见崩漏，形体消瘦，潮热盗汗，五心烦热，咽干颧红，溲黄便干，舌红少津，脉细数。

肾虚的常见症状有以下几点：

1、腰酸痛,中医认为腰为肾之府，当肾虚时就会出现肾精不足，府邸供养不足，伴有腰酸痛等提示，特点为劳累后隐隐作痛。所以不管是肾阳虚还是肾阴虚，均会有腰部酸痛不适。

2、听力衰减、耳鸣：中医讲，肾开窍于耳及二阴。所以，听力下降、耳鸣耳聋等均为肾虚的外在表现。另外：一个人的外耳垂，肥大，丰满，均是肾气足的表现，主长寿。

3、 男子阳痿、早泄：肾主藏精，肾虚不能藏精，精液排泄失控而早泄。肾虚，虚火扰动精室，易出现阳事，举而不坚，房事早泄。肾虚是一种功能性病变，通过适当的中医调理大部分是可以恢复正常的。女子肾虚则，闭经、月经不调，性欲减退，宫寒不孕等。

4.尿频，尿失禁：尿失禁，尿频，排除急性泌尿系统感染外，均是肾虚所致。因为中医讲：肾司二便，人的大小便均是肾脏所主，年轻人肾气足，一宿不用起夜，老年人肾虚，夜尿增多，黎明泻是最佳写照。肾虚有时还会有淋漓不尽的现象。

5、牙齿松动、脱落，易骨折：中医有肾主骨生髓，齿为肾之标骨之余也之说。所以，骨头的强弱均是肾脏功能的外在表现，老年人骨质疏松，易骨折肯定是肾虚了；肾虚则骨失所养，牙齿就会不坚固，出现牙齿松动早早脱落的现象。

此外，肾虚易出现骨质疏松,这在中老年妇女中比较常见。

6、谢顶或须发早白：中医上说，发为血之余，肾开窍于耳及二阴，其华在发。一个人的头发，早早地落没了，或是干枯无光泽均是肾气不足的表现，当然还有压力大或脂溢性皮炎之说；年轻人过早出现白发，应考虑是肾虚的原因。

7、肤色粗糙，变黑：中医认为，肾是水脏，肾主一身之水液，而肾在五色为黑。肾虚时，人体的水液代谢失常，使皮肤粗糙、发干，面部发黑，无光泽，眼袋肿大、黑眼圈等。如果是肾炎的话还有水液代谢不出，造成水肿等。

Acupuncture for Drug Addiction Treatment

WHAT ARE PAINKILLERS?

Prescription painkillers are powerful drugs that interfere with the nervous system’s transmission of the nerve signals we perceive as pain. Most painkillers also stimulate portions of the brain associated with pleasure. Thus, in addition to blocking pain, they produce a “high.”

The most powerful prescription painkillers are called opioids, which are opium-like compounds. They are manufactured to react on the nervous system in the same way as drugs derived from the opium poppy, like heroin. The most commonly abused opioid painkillers include oxycodone, hydrocodone, meperidine, hydromorphone and propoxyphene.

Oxycodone has the greatest potential for abuse and the greatest dangers. It is as powerful as heroin and affects the nervous system the same way. Oxycodone is sold under many trade names, such as Percodan, Endodan, Roxiprin, Percocet, Endocet, Roxicet and OxyContin. It comes in tablet form.

Hydrocodone is used in combination with other chemicals and is available in prescription pain medications as tablets, capsules and syrups. Trade names include Anexsia, Dicodid, Hycodan, Hycomine, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Tussionex and Vicodin. Sales and production of this drug have increased significantly in recent years, as has its illicit use.

Meperidine (brand name Demerol) and hydromorphone (Dilaudid) come in tablets and propoxyphene (Darvon) in capsules, but all three have been known to be crushed and injected, snorted or smoked. Darvon, banned in the UK since 2005, is among the top ten drugs reported in drug abuse deaths in the US. Dilaudid, considered eight times more potent than morphine, is often called “drug store heroin” on the streets.

“At the age of 20, I became an addict to a narcotic, which began with a prescription following a surgery. In the weeks that followed the operation in addition to orally abusing the tablet, crushing it up enabled me to destroy the controlled release mechanism and to swallow or snort the drug. It can also be injected to produce a feeling identical to shooting heroin. The physical withdrawal from the drug is nothing short of agonizing pain.” —James

Why choose acupuncture for Drug Addiction Treatment?

In 1997, the National Institutes of Health accepted acupuncture therapy as an acceptable procedure complementary to Western medicine . Evidence for its therapeutic effects comes mainly from clinical practice and research into pain control, fibromyalgia, headaches, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and depression . Acupuncture therapy can be administered using either manual insertion of needles or electroacupuncture (EA), a mild electrical stimulation of acupoints. Extended acupuncture methods may involve finger pressure (acupressure) and laser therapy .

In 1985, Dr. M. Smith finalized the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol that is currently practiced in over 250 hospitals in the United Kingdom and United States . In 1996, the World Health Organization accepted acupuncture as a treatment for drug abuse . The latest modification to this treatment protocol was developed in 2005 by Dr. Ji Sheng from Peking University, Beijing, China . Currently, more than 700 addiction treatment centers use acupuncture as an adjunctive procedure .

Prominent effects of acupuncture are increases in the levels of enkephalin, epinephrine, endorphin, serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the central nervous system and plasma that might mediate substance abuse. Acupuncture has been used to treat addiction for three decades.

Acupuncture for pain management in the hospital Emergency Room

Acupuncture for pain management in the hospital Emergency Room

Abbott Northwestern Hospital is the largest private hospital in the Twin Cities, Abbott Northwestern is reconized nationally and locally for its exceptional expertise and care. Each year, the hospital serves more than 200,000 patients and their families from across the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest. Abbott pioneers acupuncture in the Emergency Room. 

Abbott Northwestern Hospital is reporting success using acupuncture in its emergency room to treat condition ranging from car accident injuries to migraines to kidney stones, and hoping to prove that the traditional Chinese treatment can reduce doctors' reliance on addictive opioids to manage patients' pain.

The Minneapolis hospital was the first in the nation to staff its Emergency Room with an acupuncturist two years ago, as part of  a broader campaign to promote Eastern remedies as complements to Western mainstream medicine.

Proving acupuncture could sometimes replace opioids would be meaningful because there is growing evidence that the drugs are being overused and causing addictions and overdose deaths, said Dr.Chris Kapsner, the medical director of Abbott's Emergency Room.

Minnesota overdose deaths have risen sixfold, according to state death records, a trend that has corresponded with rising prescription rates.

Emergency Room Patients are choosing Acupuncture Instead of Painkillers at Minneapolis Hospital.

Last year there were 336 people died from the side-effect of the Painkiller pills in Minnesota 

Since the hospital using acupuncture for pain management in the ER, they have reduced 20% of the Opioids usage and also reduce the cost.

Note: Opioids are mainly used for moderate to severe pain treatment, such as cancer pain. Opioid analgesics include codeine, dihydrocodeine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, methadone, morphine, fentanyl, pethidine (meperidine) and tramadol and so on.

Acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine Video intro

Acupuncture and moxibustion are forms of traditional Chinese medicine widely practised in China and also found in regions of south-east Asia, Europe and the Americas. The theories of acupuncture and moxibustion hold that the human body acts as a small universe connected by channels, and that by physically stimulating these channels the practitioner can promote the human body's self-regulating functions and bring health to the patient. This stimulation involves the burning of moxa (mugwort) or the insertion of needles into points on these channels, with the aim to restore the body's balance and prevent and treat disease.

In acupuncture, needles are selected according to the individual condition and used to puncture and stimulate the chosen points.

Moxibustion is usually divided into direct and indirect moxibustion, in which either moxa cones are placed directly on points or moxa sticks are held and kept at some distance from the body surface to warm the chosen area. Moxa cones and sticks are made of dried mugwort leaves. 

Acupuncture and moxibustion are taught through verbal instruction and demonstration, transmitted through master-disciple relations or through members of a clan. Currently, acupuncture and moxibustion are also transmitted through formal academic education.

Acupuncture moxibustion for PCOS Uterine Fibroids Infertility

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is systemic and has many manifestations. While its name clearly indicates that ovulation is affected, the widespread effects of the core imbalance can show up in skin, hair, mood, sleep patterns, fat storage, and just about any other body system. This is because, at its root, what we have decided to label as “PCOS” is really a whole body issue and, in fact, the ovarian aspect is only a side-effect. There are commonalities among those patients with PCOS, but in the end each case is completely unique. So our acupuncturists need to detect, understand, and address each case differently for its unique aspects. Traditional Chinese Medicine sees the body as a Universe. In this Body-Universe, the foods we eat, the thoughts and feelings we dwell upon, the environments we frequent, and the lifestyle choices we make, all have dramatic impacts. Even subtle changes in these areas can produce dramatic changes in the powerful cues that drive our nervous, endocrine, immune, digestive, and metabolic systems. As an example of the amazing subtlety of our bodies, note that hormones are typically measured in pictograms per milliliter of blood. That’s one TRILLIONTH of a gram per milliliter. The difference between baseline estrogen of 50 pg/mL and the ovulatory peak of 250 pg/mL is 200 trillionths of a gram, or 0.0000002 milligrams. Talk about subtle! We can potentially see some dramatic effects if we help the body adjust its levels by 5 or 10 trillionths of a gram using acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, mind-body exercises or food therapy! 

Acupuncture and moxibustion — along with the herbal, nutritional, and mind-body approaches of Traditional Chinese Medicine — is all about bringing this Body-Universe back into its natural balance. Rather than a forceful override, we use acupuncture, herbs, foods, and mind-body exercises to gently adjust the body’s intrinsic hormonal pathways. In essence, we “teach the body to fish”, letting its innate healing systems handle the situation. This is something we always stress to our patients: Your body already contains the blueprint to balance and profound healing. It already knows exactly what it needs to do to bring you back to a state of vibrant wellness, where all systems — reproductive included — work together in complete harmony. We don’t have to micromanage the situation at all. The less we try to inject our analytical thought process into the vast, organic, non-linear world of Body-Universe, the better. In other words, we give the body the support it needs, and then we get out of the way and let it work its magic. We have seen this approach work wonders time and again not just with PCOS, but with just about any health condition you can imagine. We have come to learn that addressing PCOS first requires that we understand that the imbalance that is most prevalent in YOUR body. If we begin from preconceived notions — that PCOS is insulin-driven, or that it is always related to body weight, or that it is driven by excess androgens — we may miss things that are unique to your situation, driving your body to imbalance. And when we miss these important things that fall outside the conventional picture, we often get incomplete results. In these cases, clomid, femara, metformin, follistim, provera, IUI, IVF… nothing seems to work. This is because while we everyone is busy trying to treat the obvious part of the issue (the ovaries, the insulin, the blood glucose, the androgen), nobody is getting to the root cause of the problem. 

Three Commonly Overlooked Endocrine Disruptors here , there are three main areas that drastically impact hormonal balance that are overlooked or poorly addressed. When any one of these is not functioning properly it is difficult, if not impossible, for any other system to heal. These are: No.1 the digestive tract, No.2 sleep patterns, and No.3 glucose metabolism. 

The Impact of Digestive Imbalance  An inflamed, stressed, inefficient digestive tract leads to problems of both assimilation and elimination. The supply of nutrients critical for proper function of our hormonal system can be significantly impaired; the body’s normal elimination of hormones can be disrupted. Essential nutrients that support nervous, circulatory and endocrine function must be processed and absorbed by the digestive tract. Keep in mind that both the nervous and circulatory systems are also crucial for hormonal balance, as the brain and nervous system are involved in hormonal signals and the blood is what carries those signals. Inflammation in the gut affects levels of B Vitamins essential for nervous system function, as well as trace minerals crucial for glandular function. The bowel is a primary site for hormone elimination and, if it becomes chronically inflamed, hormonal excess can result. This can disrupt the body’s ability to regulate hormonal cycles like the fertility cycle. So, how do we ensure a healthy digestive tract? For everyone this is different. But, there are some things you can try to see how they work for you.  First, try avoiding over-consumption of foods that commonly cause inflammation of the mucosa. These include wheat flour and other wheat products, animal dairy and white sugar. If you can significantly reduce these foods for a week or two, and you notice a flatter stomach, more energy, and a more regular bowel movement, you may be intolerant to one or more. Add them back in one by one and you’ll discover the culprit or culprits. Second, ensure adequate intake of fermented foods and/or probiotics. Non-dairy sources include sauerkrauts and other fermented vegetables. The live cultures in fermented foods have widespread beneficial effects for the digestive tract and ensure the body’s primary barrier of assimilation and elimination functions at a high level.  Third, get a handle on your stress. The nervous system that controls the digestive tract only operates properly when we are relaxed. Chronic stress affects everything from food transit times, to secretion of bile and enzymes, to the fluid balance in the colon. This is where acupuncture can be of great benefit. Not only is it legendary for its stress-reducing, relaxation-enhancing properties, it has also shown promise in many studies for calming digestive upset.

The Importance of Healthy Sleep Patterns  Poor sleep patterns are devastating to hormonal function. When we don’t get adequate sleep, our adrenal glands are unable to express their natural daily cycle, and their function suffers. Among other things, the adrenal glands are essential for proper steroid hormone synthesis. If they are out of balance, reproductive function can suffer tremendously.  How do we ensure healthy sleep? First, keep a regular bedtime, and make it as early as possible after sundown, preferably around 9 – 10pm. This time is most in sync with our natural biology which has evolved over many thousands of years under the influence of sun/moon cycles. Second, turn off computers and televisions about a half-hour before sleep. The bright, flashing, stimulating light from TVs and computer screens can delay the onset of our natural sleep cycle and over-stimulate our nervous systems. Allow yourself some quiet time before bed. Third, take 20 – 25 deep, relaxed belly breaths as you lie down to sleep. This calms and resets your nervous system prior to the onset of sleep. Again, acupuncture shines here, as it is an effective therapy for insomnia and poor sleep.

Proper Glucose Metabolism Both glucose and insulin have significant impacts on hormonal systems. While it is well known that PCOS can be related to glucose and insulin, a well-known PCOS-related system, the way it is conventionally managed often falls short. In our experience, carbohydrate sensitivity varies greatly among individuals. Metformin or other glucose-lowering and insulin-sensitizing medications don’t always produce desired results. This is because it may not address individual variations. The most effective way to manage glucose and insulin systems is via diet and exercise. While medications may be necessary for a time, they are not a shortcut to true internal balance. Nothing substitutes for a healthy diet over the long-term. The difficult part for many is finding the best eating pattern for their unique constitution. How do we ensure our blood sugar is in balance? First, pay attention to how you feel after meals. If you feel fatigued within 1 hour, your glycolic system is out of balance and something you ate is the reason why. The most likely culprits are starches, flours, or sugars (including fruit sugars). Second, avoid caffeine whenever possible. Caffeine wakes us up by raising our blood sugar, among other effects. And, excessive consumption taxes the adrenal glands which are crucial for proper reproductive and nervous system function. Third, start the day with a high-fiber, high-protein meal. The “model” breakfast is oatmeal and eggs (or egg-whites if cholesterol is a concern). This starts your metabolic day on smooth footing, and ensures your body isn’t working hard the rest of the day to get things back into balance. Finally, make sure you are drinking adequate water. For most people, around 3 liters a day is a starting point. 

So, why apply acupuncture? As your body is working to change its hormonal patterns, acupuncture provides exactly the type of support it needs. The relaxation and stress reduction ensure the nervous and endocrine systems have minimal interference as they work to adjust their function. The sleep-enhancing and gut-balancing effects of acupuncture further assist the body’s efforts to return to balance. Finally, acupuncture’s proven modulatory effects on the Central Nervous System have shown tremendous benefit for PCOS and other endocrine imbalances. Acupuncture, and the system of Traditional Chinese Medicine from which it originates, may hold the key that finally unlocks your unique healing process to help you conquer PCOS.
