Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I haven't heard of anyone using acupuncture for MS. I do know of a 3 pack a day smoker who was able to quit with acupuncture, and never had any cravings. He finds the smell of cigarette smoke repulsive now. ----- Original Message ----- From: stevancremeans low dose naltrexone Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 7:46 PM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] acupuncturist Hi all, I was curios if anyone has had any experience (good or bad) with an acupuncturist.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hi , I went to an acupuncturist several years ago. There was improvement in symptoms but it was not long lasting. At that time I was in business and it was a 3 or 4 hour commitment between travel time and treatment time. I just did not have the time to do that 2-3 times a week. I wish I had, I think that it could be very helpful.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I believe Acupuncturists are like any one else, you get good ones and you get not so good ones, heck it's like that with Mechanics, Doctors, Chiropractors,Plumbers, Farriers you name it!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hallo I've been seeing an acupuncturist (he is also a qualified gp) for the last three months. Initially I saw him once a week and now see him once a fortnight. I also take TCM tablets after meals that he gave me. The approach is quite different to that of western medicine and employs quite different terminology and diagnosis of you: as a whole rather than you:that-bit-that-is-disease-whatever. I am not worse but then it has only been a short period and prior I was at a stage where my symptoms were considered 'mild'. I definitely feel better (move better, better spatial awareness) in the days after I have had acupuncture. My state of mind is also definitely improved. I have also been to an acupuncturist who did cupping on my back and then massaged a chinese lineament into my upper spine. Maybe it was a placebo effect, but this was fantastic - it was like my system was being woken up after having slowly fallen asleep. This acupuncturist's father has MS and he has treated him for the last 10 years without progression of his symptoms - he sounded like he was RRMS but I don't know for sure. For me, at the same time I have also been changing my diet, meditating and increasing my exercise. So it is hard to say if it is one thing in isolation or the combo. I believe all in combination contribute helpfully. In the manner of going to any health practictioners I wouldn't just go to anyone - both the above were recommended to me. Hope that's of some help Cheers Sadie > From: stevancremeans > low dose naltrexone > Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 10:46 PM > Subject: [low dose naltrexone] acupuncturist > > > Hi all, > I was curios if anyone has had any experience (good or bad) > with an acupuncturist.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I tried acupuncture at the beginning, one acupuncturist came here from China, that was fantastic, I had no problems few weeks after, but unfortunately he died and there was no other. This one used a lot of needles, he said with something like MS you have to use drastic measures. I tried to use others who are in the country but never had good results. The results were only for few days. *Zora* San Trinidad West Indies *** -----Original Message----- From: stevancremeans [mailto:stevancremeans@...] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 10:47 PM To: low dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] acupuncturist Hi all, I was curios if anyone has had any experience (good or bad) with an acupuncturist.
