Acupuncture and Fibromyalgia

[Guest guest]

Is there anyone who has successfully treated a client with FM or know of anyone

for whom acupuncture worked well for this condition?

 

Is there anyone onthe list who has or had FM for which acupuncture brought

significant results?

 

Does anyone know of any research re Acupuncture / TCM with regard to FM?

 

 

The only research to date that I have found that seems to get results is done by

a M.D. who suggests using guaifenesin . . . and since I have liver duress

presently I am wondering whether that will make my liver more stressed or toxic?

 

I am rather torn whether to use only the TCM or use both . . . . ?

 

Comments appreciated.

HI there is a research report from Harborview hospital/U of Washington that

studied TCM and FM with positive results it was a small preliminary study

the primary MD was Dr Nassim Assefi.
