Re: New Member-Accupuncture

[Guest guest]

,

I have a holistic doctor who goes to my church who does accupuncture as well as

other treatments. I have talked with her about the RA and she told me that she

did not want me to waste my money on accupuncture, regardless of what anyone

else might tell me, because it is not effective on RA. I know she treats other

people at church for other problems, so I really appreciated her being

forthright with me about what she felt she could and couldn't do to help.
