# You are wrong.
I had pumpkin pie for the first time at new year (Sherman friend did a late Thanksgiving dinner), and I can assure you it is absolutely NYOM.

# Really?
But it's orange and looks gloopy. Pumpkins are squashes and related to marrows and courgettes are they not? Is the pie sweet or savoury? So many questions so many varieties of squashes.

# I'm having acupuncture for tendonitis
Despite my huge wodge of scepticism with a side of "yeah sure..." it is actually working a treat.
never ever in a million years did I ever think I would say that.

# it took me a while to believe it would work
I'm very happy to say it is great - very effective, although takes a while to get used to

# I went in quite convinced I was going to come out yelling "charlatan"
and totally amazed myself and family by my total u-turn. Same for the chiropractic treatment I've been getting. However NOTHING will convince me about any merits in homeopathy. I do have my limits you know :)
really I do

# Aye, I've stuck with Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and Acupuncture to help me over the years
and thankfully don't need them 'quite' as much these days

# For the last umpteen years I have been having cluster migraines.
Since going to my chiropractor I haven't had any. Honestly nobody was more surprised than me. I was the world's biggest sceptic especially as x-rays & other tests hadn't shown anything wrong with my head or neck.

# Blimey!
Small world indeed. I'll watch that youtube later as well. Has chiropractic helped you with yours at all?

# the chiro, no, that was mainly for spinal problems and a dodgy hip I have
the acupuncture has been the most effective in coping through the clusters. Not a remedy by any means, but it makes them slightly less potent when they happen

# When I started chiro
At the consultation stage he asked me some general questions about headaches and when I told him about the cluster migraines to be fair he did say that he may be able to help relieve them but not stop them. But I can now honestly say I have only had one real bout in the last six months which is amazing to say the least. I would touch wood if I were superstitious after saying that

# One of the few therapies that seems feasible.

# OK
For musculo-skeletal problems (although not shown to be any more effective than conventional physio), but they claim a lot of woo: "subluxations" (an imaginary concept, undecetable even by the chiros themselves), and claiming that it can cure asthma and infant colic.
