Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I second that. DBC's are great because they are quick to employ, inexpensive, and are of good quality. I use Seirins as well, but only the #1 and #2 sizes for sensitive patients. Benjamin Hawes, MAOM, Lic. Ac., CORTEZ FAMILY ACUPUNCTURE 1430 E.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Yeah, just call Lhasa-OMS Supplies in Massachusetts. They even have a toll-free number, which escapes me at this moment. They're on the Internet. I usually call in or fax my order, and it's on my doorstep at most 2 days later, half the time 1 day later (I'm in New Jersey).
