Practice makes perfect.

I have also taken a lot of cooking classes, they are fun and you learn a lot. Your local community college or adult learning center should have several cooking classes to choose from.

How can I improve my cooking skills?
I eat everything. I care about health too. I am not a gourmet. I can cook simple things but I am always busy with other things, so elaborate dishes don't make any sense to me. (Besides I feel happier with a tangerine than with a piece of cake). However, I would like to improve my cooking skills. Cooks out there, how did you learn what you know?

Comment on Losing Weight Through Acupuncture by Phillip

Loosing weight through accupuncture is moderatly effective. The % for most human bodies throughout a typical month under normal excersie regimins with suppliments, ect, is 1 to 3 pounds per week being lost.

Accupunture allows our body to stimulate areas and chemicals within our body that help accelerate this. However, it is only by about a 3% increase. Done properly it can go all the way up to 5%. However, the amount of weight loss is only boosted by maybe 1 or 2 pounds per week, if that.

The problem with this type of accupuncture, it is needs to be repeated, once or even twice daily. And is not considered a long term theraputic option. Many patients after a typical regimine, regain the weight once the procedure is finally done.

So not that effective in the long run.

Comment on Pain – Can Acupuncture Help Your Back Pain? by ferrolbible

I am an alternative medicinal therapist this include acupressure and massage.
It works by blocking the nerve/s that is/are linked to the problem area. It cures by releasing blocked energy thus insuring a free flow through the nerves. Your whole body is full of these channels and are linked to your internal organs as well. Alternative medicine does not focus on the problem area it treats the whole body, because the whole body is affected by one problem which cause other problems along the line.
To a novice like yourself that is the easiest way of explaining it.

Comment on Pain – Can Acupuncture Help Your Back Pain? by Panacea

If I were to make a suggestion? Consider seeing a chiropractor for flexion distraction treatment (also known as Cox distraction technique).

Although I have personally used acupuncture with electric stim to treat discogenic pain, it was a minor part of treatment for which flexion distraction was the main component. Results were very good for severe discogenic pain with sciatica in the patients I treated back in school.

However, you need to understand that this type of back pain post-surgical failure is very difficult to treat. Prognosis BEFORE surgery is usually very good. Prognosis after a surgery that fails, especially if there are multiple surgeries….is poor.

It's still your best bet and the most common and most commonly successful treatment for what you have. Seek out a CERTIFIED Cox practioner from the following website. Call up the chiropractor and explain your situation. Ask if he commonly treats patients like you (most do and some specialize in it).

Accupuncture works on the subtle energy system of the body and therefore will help on all levels. I recommend it for such conditions as it is very effective but as some of the other answeres have pointed out, it is based on the individual and results can vary a bit. Well worth a try and most certainly not painful.
