Charles Countryman, Sounds to me like you are on to something, specifically the combination of the exercise, the Tai Chi and the acupuncture. I especially interested in the improvement made in your walking. Does it help the freezing? How does one find competent Tai Chi- ists and acupuncturists? Anything special to look for? What do they cost? I supposes if you live in California there are one of each on every corner, but not most other places I wouldn't think. Any advice? Thanks Bruce A (51, 2.5)
