 Autumn:
Time for Sour FlavorsBy Dr. Maoshing Ni, L.Ac., D.O.M., Ph.D. Autumn marks the turning point between the heat of summer and the cold of winter. The cooling weather ushers in the harvest and heralds the dying cycle in nature. The seasonal change also causes the respiratory system to constrict, leading to cough, asthma, bronchitis, and even pneumonia. Chinese medicine has always associated autumn with the lungs and large intestine.  |

Fake acupuncture works nearly as well as the
real thing for low back pain, and either kind performs much better than
usual care, German researchers have found. Almost half the patients
treated with acupuncture needles felt relief that lasted months. In
contrast, only about a quarter of the patients receiving medications and
other Western medical treatments felt better.

New
evidenced-based guidelines from the American College of Chest Physicians
(ACCP) recommend against the use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT)
for the general screening of lung cancer. Published as a supplement to
the September issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the ACCP, the
guidelines cite there is little evidence to show lung cancer screening
impacts mortality in patients, including those who are considered at
high risk for the disease.
