Hi Dan. I have been an advocate of acupunture since the '70s. I have seen it do marvelous things, and I've written about it. Unfortunately, however, it did nothing at all for Laureen's PD. Even after multiple treatments with an OMD (Oriental Medical Doctor, for those who don't know) whom we know and trust, nothing. Glad you had success.
