Ive heard positive outcomes about using acupuncture from a couple people and my dietician. Sorry Im not familiar with any studies or trials to prove it is effective. I just have heard some good things about it.

Kinda like the Manuka honey. I was very skeptical until members had success with it. I think there have been studies that have come out since that time. But it may be effective and helpful to some people.

Im not one to put alot of faith in things other than conventional medicines and treatments. But at the same time, in some situations where its not harmful to try a different procedure or over the counter item, it may be worth a shot. Im for anything that helps get us thru this the easiest way with the best results.

Adding my own uneducated 2 cents smile
