Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi Tina My sister has done the acupuncture and I have an appt next week. I know it can be frustrating to see someone in pain and they dont want to try another diet. All I can say is don't give up. I just keep sharing and I concentrate on one thing from the diet, right now my sister if finally limiting her gluten and carbs. She is addicted to the fake sugars so that will be the next thing I work on with her. With my mom she is only doing braggs apple cider vinegar. Pick something small to have her try just think baby steps. For my pain I also bought a portable ultra sound machine around 50.00 on overstock.com and they also sell portable stim machines. I bought one for my mom around 40-50 I have one but my insurance paid for it and it helps a great deal with my neck and shoulder pain. I was going to physical therapy for my stroke related issues and they would do ultra sound which I found helped short term a great deal. Also they would use the stim machine so I can them to try at home it was cheaper than paying my co payment each time. With your friend maybe have her try the salt first and maybe some of the supplements. You are a good friend and all we can do is share out of love Ciao- Ange ________________________________ Does anyone use accupunture or chinese medicine?I have a friend,that was diagnosed with fibro at age 28.Has had it for almost 20 years.Has no quality of like.Trying to take care of 2 handicapped kids.She is not on-line.I try and do research for her.Been trying to tell her about the diet,but she has tried so many diets and failed,that she is really jaded about any type of therapy.She is having 3 metals tests run.I`m not sure how accurate the tests are.I think most people have metal issues.She still keeps going to mainstream drs.Insisted that the test be run through the hospital so her insurance would pay for it.Then,she will be looking for a doctor to treat her for this if it shows she has it.No good alternative drs around here,so I think,it`s a waste of time.I have done chelation therapy on my son and myself,without any testing.Vaccinated in the 90s,when the vaccines had more formalehyde.Amalgam dental fillings.He was having seziures all the time,and I do think,from the mercury.Pretty well under control now,except with die off.That is what I really need help with.
