Many people who are chronically ill must be under drugs constantly for various reasons including the relief of pain. Does this make treatment of the illness more difficult?
It certainly doesn’t make the practitioner’s task any easier. Drugs many bring great relief to many sufferers, but in the long run they harm the body and introduce something further for it to battle. They tend to suppress the trouble rather than to remove the cause of it. The healthy body itself makes all the drugs that it needs to fight disease, repair damage, and keep itself fit. The sick body does not do so. Acupuncture treatment aims to restore the body’s own ability to produce the necessary enzymes and secretion of insulin, pepsin, adrenalin, cortisone, hydrochloric acid, and the like.
