Update: We're just back from first appointment with Dr. Bellard (TCM), working in Dr. Calhoun's office. Great place, friendly staff, and Hub looks like he feels SO much better. Still walking funny, still staying in bed, but definitely on the mend.
Great service, very reasonable price. I think I"m gonna go in soon for a tuneup myself!
Itzkatz--I don't know the details of Tortoise Clinic. We used to go to Frank too, and about the time Dr. Wu arrived was when I guess we were all feeling so healthy we sort of trailed off and stopped going.
My most amazing story from Frank wasn't about the nasty tea smelling up the whole house, or the woozy feeling after acupuncture, but about an amazing migraine cure. Way back years ago, my son had a screaming migraine, on a Saturday afternoon, of course the clinic was already closed and wouldn't be open till Tuesday. Carol got Frank on his cell and had him call me -- he said have him sniff up 1/8 tsp fresh carrot juice up the nostril on the opposite side of where the pain is. If it's on boths sides, sniff both sides. I didn't have juice but I had carrots, so I grated one and squeezed it through a napkin. Had the boy snort the juice and I am not joking, within seconds he was totally relieved of the pain.
That has happened one or two other times, and the carrot juice trick worked then too. I wish I'd known this trick when I had my one and only migraine many many years ago...
