rgp: Tapping is not for curing, it's an adjunct to "feel better overall" as I see it.
I live with 60 yrs of arthritis issues and in recent years more pain due to hip replacement which truly messed my body up more, may have fixed one area but the complications from the surgery, good grief...there is no one cure, there is management of it all.
Now when I found Pycnogenol back in 1995 I was taking allergy/sinus drugs and getting shots from allergist, well never getting better, just more drugs and more doctor's visits...this Pycnogenol was a miracle I didn't expect...we were told MAY prevent cancer(s) and that's main reason for my starting on it, low and behold it got me off the drugs for allergies and no more doctors. Then a year later, grape seed ex entered my life and I've been taking it for over 22 yrs. No drugs, no doctors for allergies...
I don't go to docs for arthritis but went for the hip replacement and often regret doing that.
Why we don't see TV ads for grape seed extract all over the TV, I don't know. Maybe someone can answer that....the supplement world does not have the power of pharma for starters.
Supplements do work but we just don't hear about how great we feel since upping our magnesium, how breast pain is gone since dosing with Iodine daily and how Crystalline drops for my eyes keeps cataracts from my eyes. Everyone around me has done cataract surgery and not me at 80.
Well, I defend supplements as they work in my life and why they are not shouted from the roof tops, can't answer that one. Medical industrial business is huge and powerful.
