Acupuncture can eliminate and/or reduce need for meds in a high percentage of cases. Patients usually see improvement within a couple of weeks, though it may take a number treatments to see results. Care should be taken if pregnant as there are many points that can stimulate uterine contractions and induce labor. Bladder point 67(outside of small toe) has been found useful for turning breech births if given in the days immediately preceding birth.

I am not surprised. So glad that someone is actually reporting the positive with regard to alternative medicine. Acupuncture is beneficial for many issues.

I hope they continue to spend more money on studies. Although I do not need convincing.
