Giving Acupuncture A Try

Ben went to see a new doctor yesterday - Dr. Liu, a well-respected and effective acupuncturist. I found out about him from the mother of another child who had seizures. Her son had been having seizures for 2.5 years when they somehow found Dr. Liu. After weekly visits for about 6 weeks, her son stopped having seizures. He is now 4 and has been seizure-free ever since. They now go every couple of months.

Ben lay on the examination table, babbling away to Dr. Liu while he inserted needles in his ankles and wrists, and then his head. He didn't mind them at all, and seemed to feel right at home. The whole visit took about 30 minutes.

I have high hopes for Dr. Liu. Like he says, drugs haven't worked for Ben, so let's see what acupuncture can do.
