By Susan Yanush The following is a series of e-mail messages that took place between the webmaster of Acupuncture.com and a migraine headache patient. On Sat, 30 September 2000, "Susan Yanush" wrote: I am going to go to the Chinese School of Medicine in St. Petersburg, Florida, to receive acupuncture and herbs to alleviate my migraines caused by hormones. My neurologist has been unable to find a preventative cure for me, and very little has helped to get rid of the pain once the migraine arrives. My doctor and I had a debate yesterday, and a bit of a falling out, because he doesn't think acupuncture will work. I told him I am interested in at least hearing what the Chinese doctor has to say. He told me that the doctor will say, "It is the Chinese way, and acupuncture affects the Meridian system." He then said, "there is no scientific basis for a Meridian system.

The ability of your TCM practitioner to describe things in western terms may or may not be present. Fortunately, that will have no effect on the efficacy of the treatment. : ) Acupuncture loves migraines. For more on the scientific basis of acupuncture, please see the article at http://acupuncture.com/Acup/Mech.htm Be Well, Al. On Sat, 2 December 2000, "Susan Yanush" wrote: Hi Al, Back in September I sent you this email because I was skeptical about the success of acupuncture in treating migraine. I wanted to write to you and tell you that I have been getting acupuncture and taking herbs for the past two months, and it has worked like magic. Not only am I migraine free, I have more energy than I know what to do with, I feel 10 years younger, I'm happy all the time, and my nervous system feels calmer. I have gone from being scared and skeptical to now thinking that people who don't get it don't know what they're missing out on. And on more than one occasion I have thought about the sentence you included in your email to me, "Acupuncture loves migraines". Well, I just wanted to share my success with you.
Thank you, On Mon, 4 December 2000, "Al Stone" wrote: Awesome.
