Acupuncture has helped reduce my seizures

Sat, 04/01/2006 - 22:19
I've been receiving acupuncture once a week for the last month and it has made a great difference in the frequency and severity of my Simple Partial Seizures. I just wanted to share this and see if anybody else out there has tried it and if it has worked for them.

I have tried yoga too. As my neuro said that there is no scientific evidence to back it. Altough, yoga is very good and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is living with a brain disease. Meds are being tested on millions of patients and on animals firstly and they list sideeffects before coming into the market.

 Could anyone refer me to the link where there is scientific evidence based on clinical trials? 

Could anyone tell me what is the min and max time to receive acupunture treatment?

Because, I will be moving abroad very soon looking for a job and the cost of living over there and medical is very expensive, so I dont think I will be able to afford it over there plus also due the exchange rate factor.
