So, the MDAnderson study, and the Sloan-Kettering study (which included MRIs) are bogus? I haven't seen the results of the Mayo Clinic study but Mayo thought there is reason enough to pursue it. There's a Brazilian study and others conducted by MDs, as well. I've talked to a couple of people who were successful in getting saliva after the acupuncture treatment (one who used to post on the OCF forums) and to acupuncturists who say that they've treated many people for it and that more than half were done successfully. No one that I've spoken to who was successful said that it didn't last.

Given that all the medical evaluations say that there are no adverse affects from acupuncture, it seems to me that it's worth a try. I did try one acupuncture protocol that was developed by an MD in the Navy at a military hospital and I was unsuccessful but I'm about to try another protocol soon.

I'll report the results.
