Ashtanga 0 #1 October 3, 2005 Anyone here ever had it done? I used to be a non believer but I hurt my knee one time and a skydiver did acupuncture on my ear. He did it in a place where he said would fix my knee. Well, the damn thing drained 30 minutes afterwords after being swollen for a week. I am a true believer now.

Seriously, for those nagging little aches and pains from all the abuse we heap on our bodies, this works. My mom's lower back started catching a few years ago whenever she leaned forward. Just doing little things, like laundry or kissing her ailing dad on the cheek, her back seized up. I took her to Dr. Wu several months ago, and it hasn't bothered her once since. A 'real' doctor told me I had tendonitis and to wear a brace on my right hand. Braces suck. I went to Dr. Wu, and the brace came off, never to annoy me again. Hey, THAT many Chinese people can't be wrong. Just don't go to a quack. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

popsjumper 2 #5 October 3, 2005 QuoteAnyone here ever had it done? I'm a potential candidate....does it work for your sex life? If it doesn't, I'll just stick with the numbers on the bathroom stalls and walls. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

StreetScooby 5 #8 October 3, 2005 Quote Anyone here ever had it done? Once. Had gall bladder pain that was going nonstop for weeks (...come to find out, it was due to prescription medicine). In the meantime, nothing made it go away, except for the acupuncture. Took about 30 minutes, and the pain was gone. Pretty unbelievable.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #9 October 3, 2005 QuoteQuotedoes it work for your sex life? I don't know. That's a good question. An ex-gf told me her momwas into reflexology and the hand version of it (ie pressure point on the hands, nbot just the feet). She told me one of her old ex's didnt believe it worked, so mom took his hands, went for a pressure point, and BANG instant wooddy! Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't that be a little emberassing to get a boner in front of your girlfriends mom? Be like Ron Burgundy, "It's the pleats. I need to walk it off. There's nothing to see here." Although if the mom was hot she could be impressed and you could do the whole mother daughter combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear it can help with insomnia so I am going to go try that soon. 10 years of restless sleep is enough. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
