SV: fybromyalgia

July 15, 2004

Hi,

when treating after the pulse, and by such varying every time, one treatment

every month, most patients get about 50% better, and stay at that level if

treated every month, or every second month with acupuncture.

Can anyone honestly report to us their % success rate with FMS. I

don't want any excuses or caveats about uncompliant patients, just

some raw data. For X number of patients, what % are still cured or

greatly improved 1 year following the cessation of regular weekly

acupuncture treatment. If one needs weekly treatment for maintenance

for ever, I consider that palliation, not cure. But if scrupulous

diet, exercise and tonic herbs alone maintain remission, I do

consider that a cure. But that raises a broader issue. Do others on

this list consider a patient cured if they are symptom free if and

only if they receive weekly acupuncture and take strong herbs for

branch symptoms. If so, I believe that position is essentially one

akin to the idea that a vacuity of herbs and acupuncture cause

disease, rather than emotions, diet and climate.
