I’ve studied acupuncture in China, but for weight loss all you have to do is drink pure water, sponsor a healthy diet (where you can – and have to – really eat as much as you want of the good stuff and still lose weight nevertheless incredibly fast) and exercise (actually not much exercise at all is needed to lose weight, if the diet and your amount of pure water intake is good. You’ll simply love to exercise after having gone through all the detoxification!)
Distilled water, fresh vegetable and (very little!) fruit juices, a high amount of organic raw food (veggies, fruits, sprouts, etc.) and your weight will drop like a stone.
Avoid fluoride, MSG, Aspartame, GMOs, etc. like the pest.
Avoid meat and dairy and go vegan and slowly increase the amount of fresh raw foods in your diet. Soak your nuts and sprout your seeds.
Weight loss is not about losing weight, it is about detoxing, which is why it would be a good idea to support your body with herbal medicine, some supplements (supplying everything the (individual) body might be deficient in, like niacin, Lugol’s iodine, selenium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, B12,…etc.), acupuncture, homeopathy, colon hydrotherapy (3- 6 sessions in the beginning) and then coffee enemas (see Gerson Therapy).
People usually make fun about the idea of using colon hydrotherapy and coffee enemas, but in the most successful cancer therapies on the planet they are used and they have made all the difference between life and death in many cancer patients…
…and in relatively healthy patients (who think they will not need them!) they will safe years of detoxification. Many years!!!
That said, there is absolutely no need to spent a lot of money on acupuncture for weight loss, rather get some books about acupressure and auriculotherapy and massage those acupressure points and auriculotherapy points yourself daily.
Get a good juicer (that is good for veggies and especially greens), a Vitamix and a distiller and…
…then detox, nourish and rebuild your body back to health.

– Acupuncture found to be an effective tool for weight control in adults:
If you’ve run out of ways on how to lose weight, there is another alternative — that is, if you are brave enough to face needles. Acupuncture, a traditional form of Chinese medicine, has been found to play a role in weight loss for adults.
A team of researchers at the School of Chinese Medicine (SCM) of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) carried out an experiment on the efficacy of acupuncture as a tool for weight control. As part of the study, the SCM team together with the Hong Kong Hospital Authority observed 72 individuals who were between 18- to 68-years-old and had a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or above. All of the participants had not taken any other weight loss tool or any medication three months before the trial.
The participants were randomly divided into two groups and were given either an acupuncture treatment or a placebo. Each participant went in for the treatment for 16 sessions in eight weeks. They were given acupunture on points on the abdomen, such as Tianshu, Dahen, Daimai, Qihai, and Zhongwan, and on the lower limbs, which include Zusanli, Fenlong (the author meant Fenglong = Stomach 40 – I.U.), and Sanyinjiao. They were also given ear acupressure by placing Semen Vaccariae or cowherb seed, a Chinese herb that promotes milk secretion and blood circulation, fixed within adhesive tape on auricular points of hunger, shen men, spleen, and stomach. These acupuncture points, according to Chinese medicine, can bring back and coordinate the flow of energy in the intestines. In addition, these acupoints can transform body fluid and discharge phlegm.
Results showed that the group who received the real acupuncture treatment had an average body weight decline of 2.47 kg and a decrease of 1.56 kg/m2 in average BMI. The most successful participant lost 7.2 kg with a drop of 3.2 kg/m2 in BMI. On the other hand, the group who received the placebo treatment averaged a weight loss of 0.54 kg and a reduction of 0.19 kg/m2 in BMI.
Zhong Lidan, one of the study’s researcher, explained that acupuncture may give a stimulating effect to serotonin and beta endorphin, which will control appetite and enhance lipolysis activity, thus resulting to weight loss. She added that their study gives evidence that acupuncture on weight control in Hong Kong is safe and effective and can be an underlying support for future research on the development of acupuncture as a tool for weight control.
How acupuncture works
Acupuncture, as defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is a treatment derived from traditional Chinese medicine that has been around for 3,000 years, wherein an acupuncturist inserts fine needles through the skin at specific points in the body for therapeutic or preventative purposes. A preliminary acupuncture session typically takes 20 to 40 minutes and includes an overall analysis of a person’s health, medical history, and a physical test. Then, the insertion of the acupuncture needles on certain places on the body, known as acupuncture points, will take place. Acupuncture treatment can take up to 10 sessions, depending on the person’s condition.
There are several other medicinal use for acupuncture. Based on a number of studies, acupuncture may help relieve several types of chronic pain such as lower back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis or knee pain. In addition, it may help lessen the frequency and intensity of headaches and prevent migraines. Furthermore, it may also treat nausea, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and infertility. (Related: Acupuncture produces amazing results in reversing infertility.)
However, the NIH cautioned that when acupuncture is not delivered properly, it can cause serious health concerns, such as infections, punctured organs, collapsed lungs, and damage to the central nervous system.
