WARNINGS

Simply if you feel insecure with the idea of
DIYacupuncture then dont do it

Please do not attempt DIYacupuncture this if you
are under 18, or an idiot, ... more important maybe
if you really dont trust your own self - then experiments
will lead to failure - and another form of healing is
absolutely necessary

however for people who ARE self destructive and resentful
of warnings - then how can I plead?

Do NOT use long needles - use so called ear needles ...
longer needles could puncture lung coating or maybe even
blood vessels ...

Even the self destructive must live experimentally ...
then at least they are open to chance and change and
maybe even would cure themselves by mistake :-)

If you put needles into a blood vessel it will bleed -
and near to the eyes I gave myself a black eye for a few
days

If you leave needles stuck in for an hour or more then
you'll probably get little lumps which last for a couple
of days

There is a split second "pain" when you put them in - I
mean its hardly pain - ít is a pricking sensation which
any normal human being would simply be aware of - if after
5 seconds there is still pain or after 20 seconds it feels
uncomfortable - or you feel uneasy with it - then take it
out - I get this in perhaps1 in 200 needles

please dont experiment unless you feel confident and not
over confident

Release points

There seem to be some minor side effects from using
central points too often and ignoring the outer release
points (in hands feet lower leg ears crown of head) but
this is nothing to be scared of ... do it if you want
without release points and experience the effects first

the only quotes I found about DIYacupuncture on other sites

By Hotaka Sutton
http://ezinearticles.com/?DIY-Acupuncture&id=535549

Acupuncture is not something that can be done by someone who does not have a great deal of training. On the other hand, it is not really a dangerous thing. If the needles used are at least sterile, and the insertion points are clean, there is not a lot of harm that can be done by an amateur. There is not a lot of good that can be done either.

and in
http://www.ehow.com/how_4493926_purchase-acupuncture-needles.html

Before a trained and acupuncturist begins to work on a patient, they should practice on themselves 20 times to be sure their treatment is precise and pain-free.
