ROBERT ABRAMSON, DDS, MD, ACUPUNCTURIST:
I’ve been doing this for over 35 years, you know, and I have a, you know, DDS degree and an MD degree. I think there’s something to the chi. you can’t do a cat scan of it, in a sense, you know, the way we do in conventional western medicine. But it’s there, you know, and it does affect us.
TALI, MIGRAINE SUFFERER:
