Nina,
My interest would be in having some serious research done on the subject,
Double blind studies etc. That would require a professional program to make
comparisons.
 I'm of the opinion that there is a placebo affect both with acupuncture and
possibly with TENS. False hope is a bad route to travel.
I recently received a letter from someone who told me that a trip to Lourdes
in France helped their PD. Maybe so - but I have trouble accepting anecdotal
success stories whether they are based on religious faith or other single
person results.
Show me statistics and double blind studies, then I become a believer.
I don't feel qualified to do the testing.
Is anyone out there interested. I'll gladly teach them anything they want to
know about what a TENS does electrically -- but not medically. After all, I
am an O.E.E.
