http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7852882.stm

I have had some treatment that involved Acupuncture some time ago and I wasn't sure of the benefits I have to say - except that it was done done by this gorgeous bloke (physio)  cloud9:...I took a long time to get better I can tell you.

Does anyone belive that sticking pins in people is a good thing  whistle:

I'll ask Mrs Growler to come in here and answer that one if you like.

On 2nd thoughts, maybe not. Don't want her reading some of my slightly less than complimentary posts about her. ;)
SHE'S a qualified acupuncturist of 17 years standing btw. whistle:

Well I'm sure that sticking sharp pins in Growler's arse does wonders for her when she has a headache.  whistle:

I have a second cousin who is a homoeopath.

She has given me good advice from time to time so I would never rule out any "alternative" medicines or treatments. I do have to say that of those I have tried only about 25% seem to have worked for me but others claim better results for their ailments.

A Consultant Cardiologist once suggested that I should undergo hypnotherapy ~ that was a total loss as the psychoanalyst could not "put me under" despite several sessions. She said she thought that I was "resistant" to the therapy ~ I think I was too busy looking at her more than ample bust to listen to what she was saying. redface:

In all fairness to Mrs G's trade, acupuncture did werk on some terrible neuralgia newraljahorrendous pain in the side of me face a few years ago.
I don't normally let her treat me, as I'm convinced she enjoys stabbing me with the needles as a sort of revenge, but the pain was that bad, the needle pain was actually a relief on this occassion.

Never say never is my view on these things. I've certainly spoken to people who swear by acupuncture. It's next on my list of things to try!  whistle:
