Yes, acupuncture is great for back pain! My doctors, Dr. Suh and Dr. Bong did me a world of good in that regard.

I had a tire try acupuncture. It felt deflated afterward.

What is wrong with you? Drawing equations where no equation exists.

If deflection is the only way you can be right, then have at it! And be informed.

Since you brought it up, holistic medicine is a perfect interpretation of how I buy cars.

My 2001 jeep Cherokee is paid for because I believed I could pay for it.

My 2003 jeep wrangler is paid for because I belived I could pay for it.

My 2011 Chevrolet SS camaro is paid for because I believed I could pay for it.

My home is paid for because I believed I could pay for it.

My motor home is paid for because belived I could pay for it.i

Ha ha yourself. You want to go for round two of what I could pay for?

Do you think demeaning me makes your life better? I hope it does, but I suspect your superiority is all in your mind..........actually, I know it is.

Calm down. You've got some thin skin. I was just ribbing you a little for saying something ridiculous. Now you've gone and itemized your vehicle purchases to defend against hyperbole.

Check your closet for your big boy pants; I'm sure you have some.

You were just ribbing me for saying something ridiculous? And my snarky reply was because of my thin skin, not directed at your snarky comment? And, of course, it is beneath me to defend myself against Your Hyporbole because you are an innocent bystander ?

Your “hyperbole” was innocent and smart, but my answer was, well, I guess not.

I’m going to concede to you as I have done others of great ego on this forum. For you are faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap small buildings in a single bound.

You,can say what you want because you have some sort of preconceived notion of your own power. If that is what you need, well, I concede it to you.

Why don’t you, and those like you, go attack liberals for a change?Or am I just too easy of a target to pass up.

My step-sister recently had accupuncture and ended up in the emergency room with a partially collapsed lung. If you give it a try, do a LOT of checking up on whoever you plan to go to.

I tried it after my spinal cord injury. After each session I had more feeling in my extremeties. Nothing like being back to normal, just more feeling. After 2 or 3 days, the effects wore off with no permanent results.

After three sessions per week for 4 weeks I tried and bought a Teeter Hang-up inversion table. Got results with it that were better and more lasting. Nothg permanent, but better results and no recurring costs.

Its been used for thousands of years and can work. The effects can be subtle in some cases. Not something you should let just anyone do as an inexperienced person can cause even more problems.

I think the White Hut should have a resident acupuncturist at a salary of at least $300 thousand.

On a daily basis (that is whenever the phony and his family are in town) he should stick needles into the whole motley crew.

I tried it for arthritis. It was some help; a masseuse who knew what she was about was considerably more help.

Sounds like your story had a "happy ending".

My fiancee has had extreme pain in his hand and back from a climbing accident years ago. No money right now for surgery so he went to the acupuncterist and 5 months later almost no pain. I have to admit it was amazing.

My brother in law has had extreme pain in both legs for a couple of years and has been to a million doctors about it. We talked him into going for acupuncture a couple of mos ago and after 5 sessions he is walking around as good as new.

"Now this book cured my sister’s chronic back pain It also stopped my hubby’s co worker from having back surgery."

Amazing comments on Amazon about this book. Very reasonable price...and I'm going to buy it.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

I will absolutely second the motion as to usefulness of Dr. Sarnos’ books. You don’t need to read all of them. Either of the first two (the linked one is one of them) will do. Simple and awesome. $2-3 used on Amazon.
