☢ An acupuncturist wove hundreds of golden threads through a patient's joints.
X-ray images reveal hundreds of gold threads embedded in a patient's knee after years of traditional acupuncture treatments.
A 65-year-old South Korean woman seeking relief from severe osteoarthritis turned to the traditional practice of gold-thread acupuncture, where sterile gold strands are woven permanently into the soft tissue. When she later underwent medical imaging for persistent pain, doctors were shocked to find hundreds of tiny, shimmering flecks surrounding her knee joint. These threads are intended to provide continuous stimulation to specific pressure points long after a session ends, effectively leaving behind a permanent internal record of the patient's alternative therapy history.
While gold is biologically inert, its presence inside the body is far from harmless. Medical experts warn that these threads can migrate over time, leading to complications like deep skin infections, cysts, and cellulitis. Furthermore, the embedded metal poses a significant risk for future medical diagnostics; the powerful magnets used in MRI scans can displace the fragments, potentially causing internal tearing or vascular damage. Without clinical proof of efficacy, doctors caution that these "golden" treatments may only serve to delay necessary medical interventions for progressive joint disease.
