Hey, all the way from Scotland...
it's a small world. I too would love to visit your homeland.

About the reflexology, well, I think it's a tremendous help. My therapist/friend got me a twist board for Christmas, about $20. http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...-8&sa=N&tab=wi

This is something I can do while I work, about an hour a day. I think it's helped me. The footprints are cool.

If the chinese person says he can CURE you for 150 a week, I'd have to sacrafice whatever I had to and give it a whirl. Did he say how long it would take? Did he say they may be risks involved with his methodds? Ask questions before you commit. If you feel comfortable with him, heck yeah, go for it.

See ya around the board.

Please keep us posted on your decision and hopefully progress.
