Anyone ever gone to see a Chinese Doctor for medicine and treatment - not just for acupunture?

Not me, but it would be quite interesting to see if they thought they could help and see what they had to offer. I think that 'quite interesting' is as far as I could enthuse. but it would be fantastic to be proved wrong.

I'll let you know. I am off to see one today, suggested by a clairvoyant.

Yes, I went to a wonderful lady here in Atlanta. The acupuncture didn't help the pain but each session was very relaxing and calming. Hope it works for you!

I'll keep you all posted...

Hi, I wonder how are you feeling and if you are still on the Chinese treatment. I have a friend in Spain who has benefited a lot from it.

I've never seen one myself - but my mother went to one when she was diagnosed with massive fibroids. She didn't want a hysterectomy. The herbalist really helped her, and the fibroids shrank considerably over 2 years. That was years ago, now she's hit menopause so the fibroids are shrinking naturally. But the herbs definitely helped and she looked and felt amazing as well! And she didn't go through the major surgery..

I think it's a longer process - and far too many people dismiss it as rubbish. Not saying it's a fast cure. but I think it is worth considering as a supplementary treatment alongside western treatment (which is how they do it in China)

The drawback is that ongoing treatment can be costly.. and also you need to make sure they are accredited with the NIMH - don't use one of these 'Dr China' shops you see in shopping centres!
