good to know that someone has heard of it. do you know someone who has been benifited by acupunture. i have seen sites of few ppl around the world who are doing it and seem to have good reviews on their website.

i think there is no harm in trying. i am also planning on giving it a go sometime soon.

am not sure how early you are planning to visit but can you please share your experience after you visit. i have rp too.

ITS NOT A CURE BUT IT DOES HELP MY VISION WENT FROM 20/200 IN L 20/54 IN R EYES TO 20/78 L AND 20/52 R EYE I AM PLEASED SO FAR. I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE WITH RP TO TRY THIS.

I have called and spoken with some people that have gone there before that claim that it had really helped them. One said it took her vision in one eye from 20/100 to 20/25. I am of course sceptical, but would really like to talk with more people that have actually been there. From what I know, it costs around 3000 US Dollars to go for a 7 day treatment. This consists of herbal remedies, acupunture and other treatments. I find it hard to believe that it works and would have a difficult time parting with 3000 dollars for a treatment. Especially since it is expected that you will continue to return if you want ti continue to improve your eyes. If it worked, then I would have no problem paying it. I have some contact #'s of the few that Doctor YU gave me, though don't feel I should post them here. Please, if you have been there and can confirm if this has helped you or not, please do.
