dramatic results with late stage lung disease?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone --

I am new to this forum. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced, or

encountered

literature about patients with late stage lung disease who respond dramatically

to

acupuncture. (By dramatically I don't mean instantly.) Several years ago I had

an

experience with treating a patient who had had metastatic lung cancer for a long

time who

got amazing results from acupuncture alone (no herbs). He was also an amazing

person in

general so I always wondered if maybe it was just him, but now there are two

other

patients in our clinic who are also doing so well that their MDs are surprised.

One has had

asbestosis for a number of years, has been getting treated regularly with

acupuncture for

the last two, and as of this winter has stopped coughing up blood. The other has

COPD

and is on oxygen -- also steadily improving with her breathing. Neither of them

are taking

herbs. Actually, I think I have a two -part question about this, but the first

part is just --

has anyone else encountered this? Thanks!
