Greek Freak thinks cupping therapy is real, scientifically proven to be harmful

[greece66]

ooooooh cupping is βεντουζες lol

i got that by looking the photoshopped marks on Giannis arm

well yeah my mom had a lady from s.albania do this to me as a kid, like a couple of times

and that lady was really school

i dont think it did something in my case (i just had a common flu for crying out loud) - and I never did after the age of 12/13.... but it felt ... uuuuuh interesting

ppl do it around here but it varies a lot according to geography, social background etc

literally nothing to worry about - im a lot more interested in the story about his knee in the (unlikely) case there is truth in it.

"There is no good evidence it has any benefit on health and there are some concerns it may be harmful"

Practicing surgeon David Gorski claims, "it’s all risk for no benefit. It has no place in modern medicine"

Critics of alternative medicine such as Harriet Hall, Mark Crislip, Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst have characterized cupping as "pseudoscience nonsense", "a celebrity fad", and "gibberish". They've stated that there is no evidence that cupping works any better than a placebo. Pharmacologist David Colquhoun writes that cupping is "laughable... and utterly implausible"

Where is the part that states "scientifically proven to be harmful" because all I read was ineffective, not harmful.

It’s also not scientifically proven to be innefective either. As most doctors and scientists know, a handful of mediocre studies does not equal scientific proof in either direction. The western medical industry is also quick to denounce treatments that they cannot massively profit from, so basically anything that is not surgery or manufactured drugs

it has been proven to be ineffective. See original post citing many different sources

I know PTs that use cupping. They also use K-tape, which many think is useless as well. Whether you can prove whether it is ineffective or not won't change them from using it. You will prob need a couple thousand of you to challenge the practice at the APTA or other organization.

My take: unless its harmful, why not let people do something if they think it makes them feel better. There are many who swear by the practice. Rest and repair typically heals. In general, most of everything else pales in comparison to the body's ability to repair itself.

Giannis related, his block on our old AB in the last nights game was like watching seniors vs juniors. Reminded me a little bit of squash.

But again where is it said to be "scientifically proven to be harmful" as your title indicates?

Well i am a doctor with chinese medicine and (modern)medicine licsense and i do cupping and acupunture treatment alot, and it is clearly more than placebo

In fact majority of my patients has problems that modern medicine are hands up to and they got significant better after the treatment(i will go into detail if you guys are interested)

(By the way I don't know if IT did but if he is getting chinese medicine treatment he is supposed to heal alot quicker-than where he is now but it's just my view)
