Dennis143 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well, I came down with a bad cold. Stayed out of work and in bed for two days. Chinese friends Wuping ("Will") and his wife "Molly" came over to give me some gua sa. I sat up and took off my shirt. They sat on opposite sides of me. They took Chinese soup spoons and drew them down along my skin from the back of my neck along my arms to my hands. They repeated this motion until (in typical Chinese medical remedy fashion) my skin started raising red welts. These welts are the toxins being drawn out from my body. Afterward s, they did the arm to finger massage pulling the toxins out through my fingers. Amazing, after 3 days I am finally starting to get over my cold thanks to my Chinese friends, I am certain.

B) Once again my friend you passed over me to let a lady work on you The sign at my clinic clearly states we do Guasha. At least mention to your lady friends that I sell the best Guasha scrapers around at reasonable prices. They are Xiuyan Water Jade and the best for getting out that fever or cold. Please remember if you need cupping we do that too. I'll get those toxins right out of you. It is good for mobility, pain and arthritis. Link to comment

As far as I know remedy tests that included chicken soup all concluded it cured the fastest. But to get the cures working, guasha and cupping work wonders. Link to comment

Actually the plastic one you pasted above with a pump can hurt. The pump can pull hard and the plastic edge is sharper than the traditional glass ones I prefer. The glass is rounded so it wont cut as the skin is pulled into the cup. I've seen the plastic ones break the skin several times. Once it was me when I agreed to try them instead of the glass cups.

I tend to think that the american medical industry is not really about making people healthy just making money. Wait till the person is so sick that you need to cut something out. Many of these techniques focus on wellness and helping people stay healthy. I like many of the TCM and the massage techniques. The Placebo effect might be part of it, if we believe it will make us better. Edited December 14, 2008 by Don (see edit history) Link to comment

Blind testing has shown about 20% will get better just thinking they have taken an effective medication. Call it a placebo or the power of mind over matter.
