    • I had tried acupuncture some years ago. But it should be done by an expert because it is too dangerous if there's error. It can cause paralysis on the patient.

      I don't know there's still different branches of alternative medicine.

      • Paralysis? Sounds frightening! Yet friends of mine who have tried acupuncture said it was successful for them. But it's not a treatment one should try if they have a fear of needles no matter how good it is. I have a fear of needles. I would have to be completely blacked out for someone to perform acupuncture on me.
