Hey Hey I suggest don't read too much into the needle placement. I felt a benefit, but my needles were in the webbing of my hand (no, I'm not Spiderman, I mean that stretchy bit between thumb and forefinger), forearms and legs. To a practitioner, they'll be about "stimulating the chi" or "opening your pathways", hey, I imagine you could even get an indian practitioner that blends the methodologies / philosophies and starts talking about your Chakra. A scientist will say something about stimulating inflammation and the body's autoimmune response, they'll say that if it works, its for an entirely different reason to the practitioner. At the end of the day, the main thing is that the stats show it works .. for some people. There'll be a question of degree too. I suggest going into it with an evaluative frame of mind, and having at least 2 weeks worth of treatment (or whatever the practitioner suggests), and try to guage if there's been a measurable improvement (or even a slight feeling of improvement might actually be worth it). I can eat and swallow a sausage on Australia Day now, without having to sip water with every mouthful .. things do start to get better over time.
