Thanks to Bruce Bentley!

Wonderful to see this wise doctor highlighting cupping on her road to improvement, and who’s now helping others with such a difficult problem for biomedicine to come to terms with.

This is the often tragic story of EDS, which is the internal and external ineptitude of the fascia matrix throughout the body to function properly. Sufferers experience a broad range of problems in diabolical ways that require a re-think from regular reductionist assessments and logic-specifics. I think regular medicine is so slow on this uptake because an integrated body system challenges the very core of its separated Cartesian-based philosophy of the body and healing. Here is the article:

Dr Zingman has discovered the intimate relationship between the vacuum mechanism of cupping and its relationship with the fascia (referred to as ‘connective tissues in this write-up) - a hitherto considered unremarkable tissue that is the very weave and interconnected matrix of the body - yet so misunderstood.

Bruce Bentley wrote an essay about the synergy between cupping and the fascia in “Mending the Fascia with Modern Cupping”:

Yeah, and in the last Olympics you could see that #cupping was also a thing. Athletes will try everything to achieve better performance

Cupping is one of the auxiliary techniques that we use. Scientific research is not only done into acupuncture, but also into techniques like cupping. This is an MRI image of a suction cup applied to the skin, showing how muscle and fascia is pulled up and stretched by the cup.

Methods: Several databases were systematically searched from inception to March 2, 2020, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China Network Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wan Fang. This review included randomized controlled trials on plaque psoriasis treatment with the use of moving cupping and in combination with Chinese herbs or conventional Western medicine therapy. These trial findings were compared with the treatment results using placebo, pharmaceutical medications, or Chinese herbs. Moving cupping treatment frequency was also compared.

Results: Sixteen trials with 1164 participants met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that the intervention group (moving cupping therapy) had a significant effect compared with the no-moving cupping therapy group (weighted mean difference = -1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-1.58, -0.85], P < .00001 random model; I = 85%). Furthermore, moving cupping (weighted mean difference = -1.19, 95% CI [-1.98, -0.39], P = .003 random model; I = 85%) or combined with pharmaceutical medications (weighted mean difference = -1.55, 95% CI [-1.89, -1.20], P < .00001 random model; I = 0%) were better than pharmaceutical medications alone in treating plaque psoriasis. Cupping therapy significantly improved psoriasis recurrence rate (risk ratio = 0.33, 95% CI [0.16, 0.68], P = .003 fixed model; I = 28%). However, for the visual analogue score, moving cupping showed no obvious advantages (weighted mean difference = -0.27, 95% CI [-0.71, 0.17], P = .22 random model; I = 64%). Moreover, studies reported that moving cupping reduced serum tumor necrosis factor-α and vascular endothelial growth factor levels more significantly than pharmaceutical medications. Moving cupping was associated with few transient adverse reactions, such as redness, itching, and local skin burning.

Conclusion: Moving cupping therapy could be an effective treatment either alone or as a combination therapy for plaque psoriasis.
