If you've never tried it, and you don't have any information to base your opinion on, what is the point of even posting?

I've used it to treat chronic back pain that my doctors couldn't diagnose or treat (aside from writing me scrips for painkillers, and I really don't need a 5 vicodin/day habit, thank you very much) and it worked. I have quite a few friends who used it to treat endometriosis and infertility and it worked. I also have one friend who tried acupuncture to treat her panic attacks, and it didn't work. Obviously I can't rule out the placebo effect, but if the placebo effect gets you pregnant when years of traditional fertility treatment didn't work, then what's the harm?
