Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I was just wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture treatments? I did last summer for three months and my creatine levels when down. I stop because of finance, and lost all hope. I was tried of waiting in the hall for two hours for a bed. I'm thinking if I should try again! diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 It is fortunate, that we have an acupuncturist with a great reputation, in our city. He was trained in China, and used to work for the Australian Ballet company, as a practicing Acupuncturist. He can tell from the different pulses, exactly my state of health. He is truly impressive. --------------------------------- Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 , Sorry for the late answer to your question about acupuncture, but I have been away. I have found acupuncture an unbelievable help for the kidneys. I have been pretty stable for many years with the IGAN, but how I notice my " condition " is that under stress I feel fatigue and sometimes pain in the kidney area. As soon as the needles (painless by the way) go in, I can literally feel the energy moving in my body, I get very relaxed and the fatigue and pain disappear and I feel renewed. I feel like I have the best of both worlds--western and eastern medicine to help me with my kidneys and would recommend it to anyone. > I was just wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture treatments? > I did last summer for three months and my creatine levels when down. > I stop because of finance, and lost all hope.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Just by coincidence, there's been a news item the past few days about the safety of acupuncture here in Canada. Apparently, a few thousand people in the Province of Quebec have had to be tested for HIV, Hepatitis, etc., because it became known that they could have been infected with improperly-cleaned needles from a number of different clinics. Then, it sort of came to the attention of the media that in Ontario, the largest province in population, acupuncture clinics and practicioners are not regulated or inspected in any way whatsoever. Anybody can just hang out a shingle. Pierre Re: Re: acupuncture > Hi , > > Often with needles it isn't the actual feeling but the thought before hand!!! You're talking to a total needle phobe here! Until a year ago, I'd never had bloods taken etc but man I've made up for it this last year! > > Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
