my acupuncturist prescribed alcohol!

I went to a new acupuncturist today, looking for a fresh take on things.  He feels that the cause of my fibroids is poor circulation in my lower body. And that they are a cold damp accumulation. He says the body will put more fat surrounding those cold fibroids in order to help the rest of the body stay warm.  He says my metabolism is not good either.

He wants me to go to a spa where there is a hot pool and a cold pool, and alternate dips in them.  He also says I should life light weights in a large sauna.  The treatment itself was a bit different than I had had before, with some VERY long needles in by my sacroiliac vein, and one in my belly button and one a few inches below that he hooked up to electric stimulation, plus before any needles went in he put a liniment ointment on my belly and passed an infrared warmer over it.  He said right before my period (like now) is a terrific time to get treatments.  He also told me tonight and for the next two nights to have a glass of wine with dinner, it warms the body and is good right at the start of the period.  Another interesting thing, he did not give me herbs to take at home, but had me drink a glass of them before my treatment, said it would make it work better.  He said more "stuff" should come out this period, we'll see.

Hi! I know it's over a year later but I'm so curious if you stuck with this regime and if so, if you found it helpful.

I had a personality clash with that particular acupuncturist so did not continue with him. Working with another one right now. I am having some shrinkage but it's very slow...
