Rob Roy I understand what you are saying but in regards to acupuncture being a placebo I can't disagree with you more.
While living in Los Angeles I visited a well known doctor who was rather expensive but effective.
I had suffered migraine headaches that would last for 2+ weeks at a time at least 3 times a year since I was 10 years old.
I had finally grown tired of it and was looking for some help at this point mainstream doctors couldn't do much to help me and I was at a breaking point. It was affecting every aspect of my life.
Well a friend of mine told me of this guy so I went to visit him. He sat down and talked to me for a bit asking me questions. He asked me about my headaches and if I had any other pains. I had been also having a pain in my right arm as well as a few other problems when I showed him where the pain was in my arm he told me I had a "gastrointestinal disorder."
We hadn't even gotten that far in the interview yet and he had already aware that I was having gastrological problems before I even told him based on me telling him I had a pain in my arm. Don't ask me how but he was correct.
Anyway we continued on with the interview and he then put me in a chair and pulled out a tray with a bunch of pins on it.
As he began to stick them in various places throughout my body I noticed what felt like an electrical charge shooting through my body when he would tweak and turn a needle. It wasn't a painful charge, but actually kind of tickled...it felt good.
Anyway I sat there in this chair and after a small amount of time I was sent home with some homeopathic medicine form my gastro problems and an appointment to see him in a few days.
I was already feeling better...relaxed etc.
I awoke the next morning my migraine wasn't completely gone but it sure was a hell of an improvement.
Anyway I went back for one more visit and sure it cost me a lot of money again but after that last visit my migraine was gone and I haven't had another since and it has been 11 years since I went to that doctor.
Well I thought I would just share my experience...good luck Juicy hope you get everything worked out.
