In 2001 "prepared under the
supervision of Dr. M. Nabeel Al-Shareef,
the prior dean of the faculty of Pharmacy"
The study was preformed according to the
scientific rules which the great Humane Scholar
Mohammad Amin Sheikho deduced from the noble prophetic traditions. These rules
state that cupping should be applied:
1) In the early morning, on fasting.
2) In the springtime, during the second
half of the lunar months corresponding to April and May (in the Mediterranean
countries as Syria).
3) For men over twenty years old, and
for women over menopause.
The research included 300 cases which have been studied by a laboratory medical team
and a clinical medical team.
The findings of the study came as
follows:
1. In cases of hypertension, the blood
pressure decreased to its normal limit.
2. In cases of hypotension, the blood
pressure increased to its normal limit.
3. The electrocardiograms showed a great
improvement, and graphically there was a return to normal situation in the
segments slide.
4. Decrease to normal limits in ESR.
5. Moderation in the red corpuscles
count.
6. In all cases of polycythemia (Erythremia), the value of hemoglobin decreased to its
normal limit.
7. In all cases of low hemoglobin, its
value increased to the normal limit. This denotes an activity in the body and a
growth in its ability in producing benign young red corpuscles
which help in more active and effective transporting of oxygen.
8. In 60% of
the cases (cupped persons), there was a rise in leukocytes count within normal
limits.
9. The count of leukocytes increased in
71,4% of cases of rheumatic diseases. This explains
the instant recovery of the rheumatic patients and those who suffer from
chronic inflammations after they use cupping.
10. Neutrophils count increased within
normal limits in 100% of cases of rheumatic diseases.
11. In 83,3% of
cases of asthma, the neutrophils count increased within normal limits.
12. Neutrophils count fall to normal
limits in all cases of abnormal neutrophilia.
13. In cases of heart diseases, the
neutrophils count fell to normal limits in the rate of 76,9%
of the cases.
14. Rise in thrombocytes count in 50,6% of the cases.
15. In all cases of thrombocytopenia,
the count of thrombocytes became normal.
16. In 50% of cases of essential
thrombocytosis, the count decreased to normal limits.
17. Glucose level in blood decreased in
83,75 % of the cases, while it remained within its
normal limits in the rest.
18. 92,5 % of
cases of diabetic patients showed a decrease in glucose value.
19. Creatinine value in blood decreased
in 66,66 % of the cases.
20. The quantity of creatinine contained
in the cupping blood was high in all cases.
21. 78,57% of
patients having a high level of creatinine in blood showed decrease in it.
22. The value of uric acid in blood fell
in 66,66 % of the cases.
23. The level of uric acid in blood
decreased, at the patients suffering from its rise, in 73,68
% of the cases.
24. The value of urea in blood decreased
in 50,7 % of the cases.
25. Urea level in blood decreased in 80%
of cases having a rise in it.
26. 80% of cases of high level of the
liver Enzyme (SGPT) showed falling in it. This indicates that the liver has been activated after performing cupping
27. SGOT (a liver Enzyme) became lower
in 80% of cases of patients having a high level of it. This explains the
improvement that the electrocardiogram showed.
28. Alkaline phosphatase (a liver
enzyme) decreased in 62,85 % of the cases where it was
high.
29. The amylase level in blood became
lower in 54,9 % of the cases.
30. In all cases of a high value of
albumin in blood, the value returned to its normal limit.
31. The cholesterol level in blood
became lower in 81,9 % of the cases.
32. Regarding the patients who had a
high value of cholesterol in blood, the value decreased in 83,6
% of the cases.
33. The triglycerides level decreased in
75 % of the cases where it was high.
34. (K) and (Na) ions became normal in
90 % of the cases.
35. (Ca) ions became normal in 90 % of
the cases.
36. /CPK/ decreased in 66,66 % of the cases where it was high.
37. The red blood cells in the cupping
blood withdrawn from the upper part of the back were all of abnormal shapes: Hypochromasia – Burr – Target – Crenated
– Spherocytes – Poikilocytes
– Anisocytosis – Shistocytes
– Teardrop cells – Acanthocytes.

38.
The leukocytes count in the cupping blood did not come to one tenth of their
count in the venous blood. This indicates that the cupping operation keeps the
components of immunity system in the body.
39. In 66% of the cases, there was an
increase in the iron level within its normal limits.
40. (T.I.B.C.) was very high in the
cupping blood where it varied between (422) and (1057) while in the venous
blood it ranges between (250) to (400). This indicates
that there is a mechanism which prevents iron from getting out of the cupping
scratches retaining it inside the body so as to take
part in building new blood cells. This is possibly associated with an activity
in the process of iron absorption in the intestines.
41. (CPK) became normal in 92,4 % of the cases.
42. (LDH) became normal in 93,75 % of the cases.
These extremely dazzling findings
reflected too many cases of marvelous recovery which came as a proof of the
grandeur of the prophetic science and the weighty wonderwork brought by the first
teacher our master Mohammad (cpth) and transported to
us by the great humane scholar Mohammad Amin Sheikho.
