Was this announced at a conference in CT? My nutritionist went to that conference and shared that info with me when she came back. I think it was given at Yale University around May 7th. From what she told me is that research is starting to prove acupuncture helps head and neck patients. She also learned at the conference that the peg tube is starting to become more of a standard procedure than an option for head and neck cancer patients.
Has anyone here tried the accupuncture treatments?
