Unfort. acupuncture did not work for me, which was one of treatment attempts (in the beginning of my "journey"), along w/ cranial sacral therapy in desperation to relieve unknown ENT pain, illness, which progressively became worse.
It annoys me when people say - it works! Go and look at pubmed!!! Methodology flaws? No control group? Small sample size etc etc. Rubbish studies appear on pubmed too. FDA approved Stuart you idiot! FDA approved. Take your blinkers off!!! Oh yeah FDA approved you mean like Lenire.
Just to confess I do try things which have no proven efficacy - spinach for example. What I do not do is pay out money for therapies and meds which have no proven efficacy. I have to eat - so diet experiments are no big deal.
