    I am looking for an accupuncturist? (sp) in the Houston area. I have heard they can help for smoking cessation. My wife is trying to quit and thinks it would help. Does anyone know someone reputable?

    Actually, I know two. One is a member of the BBS and HUGE Rockets fan, in fact. :)

    The first is Chris Axelrad (the big Rockets fan) with the Center for Healing Energetics. You can get all his information from his website:

    The other is Dr. Wu with the Houston Acupuncture & Herb Clinic on S. Shepherd. He is really good and has been doing it a long time.

    713-529-8332

    Good luck!

    hmm anyone know how it works actually?

    been having quite a bit of trouble sleeping lately (bout the last week , little more) with sweating while trying to fall asleep coupled with anxiety that I won't fall asleep each night because of the sweating...

    would acupuncture help this?

    if acupuncture doesn't work, a standard massage and a just a touch of niquil would do the job

    Some beers may help out with your problem.


    Actually I tend to have a very similar problem you are describing. Trouble falling asleep and when i finally do I shortly wake up sweating and not being able to get back to sleep. Exercise usually helps me out quite a lot.

    Thank you for the info everyone - particularly Jeff. Does anyone know some effective methods for quitting smoking? I quit in Oct. '96 using patches. The patches helped me.

    Zyban (Bupropion) works really well for some people.
    For others, it does nothing. Worth a try if your wife is serious about quitting and has no contraindications.
