(he quit using accupuncture which is astonishing)
Actually, it doesn't astonish me at all.
I use an acupuncturist who has been able to cure most of the stuff that I have been unable to find ANY relief from with western medicine. Everything from Plantar fasciitis to ezcema to little habits I wanted to break. She absolutely cured my carpal tunnel syndrome, which i had in both wrists and all the doctors wanted to carve me up like a turkey.
It takes a while, but the "medicine" behind it is over 5,000 years old. They knew something.
I sent a friend to her who had trigeminal neuralgia in her upper lip, had seen 2 oral surgeons, a neurologist and a dentist.......and she is now cured. She is able to sleep for the first time in years.
