by Dr. Y. Frank Aoi —  Someone asked me recently how well acupuncture works to treat urinary tract infections (UTI). This is an excellent question, since an acupuncture needle cannot kill bacteria directly. So does acupuncture really work for certain diseases? Before learning the answer to this question, you must not think in terms of […]

Flu season is right around the corner.
