It’s a glimmer of hope for patients and families — if the US health system can handle it.

San Juan Summit ~ 8 Prominent Doctors and Scientists Engage in a Remarkable Exchange

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IeVy7jQoz0

'Panel of #doctors and #scientists convene in a remarkable #open #forum about #effective #early #treatment and evaluate the current #one-size-fits-all approach to #Covid #treatment. While the conversation was far-ranging, it often hit on controversial topics around the #causes, #prevention #strategies, and #treatments for Covid. The #goal of the #panel was to be a first step toward having more #in-depth and #open #conversations around the #pandemic. While some of the #conversation veered into the #controversy around #vaccinations, many of the doctors strongly emphasized they do not oppose #vaccines.'

#Acupuncture is one of the #safest #treatments in #medicine

Two #independent #researchers selected articles, extracted the data and assessed study quality. Overall risks and risks for different AE categories were obtained from random effects meta-analyses.

Conclusion: Acupuncture can be considered among the safer treatments in medicine. SAEs are rare, and the most common minor AEs are very mild. AEs requiring medical management are uncommon but necessitate medical competence to assure patient safety. Clinical and methodological heterogeneity call for standardised AE assessments tools, clear criteria for differentiating acupuncture-related AEs from therapeutically desired reactions, and identification of patient-related risk factors for AEs.
