Obesity has become the first non-infectious disease in history. It is a truly chronic disease. As the cure is often long when the patient is severely overweight, we felt it necessary to look for a means of support that would be more comfortable for the patient and ensure better compliance with the dietary programme. Acupuncture, with its triple action - anti-stress, appetite moderating and metabolism regulating - seems worthy of interest and a good indication. Doctor A.H. BRAHIMI uses acupuncture as a complement to dietary re-education in the treatment of obesity and eating disorders, particularly bulimia. Read this book and you will discover the benefits of Chinese medicine in the treatment of obesity. Acupuncture can be an avenue of research and an alternative that we would be wrong to ignore. May this book help you to understand the value of acupuncture in the treatment of major obesity.
