Voltrex is an oxygen release regulator for divers - a mechanical apparatus that's very difficult to inject...

Take a look at the TEMPORARY DRUG-FREE RELIEF subject. It works most of the time for me.

I've tried accupuncture, and I'll tell you what. When they place the needle in the webbing between the thumb & 1st finger, it completely aborted a cluster I was having. But...sorry to say it did not have any long standing relief.

NOTE: During accupuncture needles were placed on neck and head, along with webbing of hand. Needle at hand was attached to some sort of electrode that sent a small amount of electricity to that needle. Hope this helps...I didn't think it was worth the money I paid...

Acupuncture is based on very ancient - and therefore very outdated - "knowledge".

If you prick one of the so called "meridians" at the right place there will be an effect in an entirely different part of the body, or so at least try the quack artist make believe so.
They present some spontaneous improvement, unrelated to their needles, or some relief due to a placebo effect as "proof" for their claim, but of course they suppress all the treatments that did only help the acupuncturist by transferring money from the patient's wallet to their own.

CH is a serious illness, that won't respond to wishful thinking.
