I tried acupuncture and the only thing it did for me was lighten my bank account. Some folks swear by it, I just swear at it.
The traditional medical establishment has already relieved me of literally thousands of dollars and none of them has done me any long-term good. What's another $20?? My attempts at drinking my pain away isn't really working for me either. Kinda running out of options now ... I'm not generally a Debby Downer but I am a realist and I don't intend to spend another 20 or 30 years feeling like this.
