Acupuncture / Herbal Treatments , etc. Do they work?

[Guest guest]

I've been living with 12/6 cm " Alien babies " for at least 1 1/2

years. (Initial MRI showed 10/4 cm in August 2002.. Last one was in

October 2003.) The big one is in the muscle, the other is on a stalk.

I've been too freaked out to have surgery and want to try an

alternative, non-invasive treatment first. I've scrolled through

messages and only found 1 person who lost an inch after 5 months of

acupuncture. I believe in alternative medicine as I know that since I

cut out meat, alcohol and caffeine, I no longer have clots or

incontinence. The incontinence was really bad, too. It was amazing

what a difference the diet change made for the incontinence problem.

I even have light, normal periods. I don't have cramps (never really

did). There was never pain. My last clot was in September 2002... the

2nd one that year. With that all said, I would like to know any other

success stories with other treatments for actually shrinking these.

I cannot find enough postings on this site in my searches. I'm in

Michigan and will travel to Ohio or Chicago by train if there's an

acupuncurist someone could recommend or if those who have had success

could please post if they've been able to shrink theirs through

alternative ways. I would sure like to know if I'm just in " fantasy

land " thinking I can shrink these whoppers through acupunture or if I

need to start setting up a surgery date. Oh.. and I'm 37 and would

like the option of having kids someday. Thanks for any info...
