Ika I live in Sundowner, it's very close to Eagle Canyon and the Dome. My FS is in Pta - Dr Hogewind (yip we travel to Pta every month!).

I've heard of Steven stavrou before, isn't he with Medfem or one of those clinics? This doctor I'm talking about is also a homeopath I think, he's website is www.drwolf.co.za

Go have a look! I've emailed him now and asked few questions regarding accupuncture etc, I'll let you know what he says!

Who's your FS? Is he at Wilgeheuwel?

MY FS refered me to Steven Stavrou, he is in Randburg, Peter Place. But my FS spoke very highly about him. But Struben Valley sounds like a good option, that is really close to my house. Where are you? I live close to the Flora clinic hospital.



Who is you FS?

Ika - I've actually read up on this a while back and they say it's good especially if you get fertility treatments!!

Your close to the Strubensvalley area aren't you? I'm considering also going for accupuncture while on my break now and doing the fitness etc. 'Did your FS refer you to someone? I know of a Dr Wolf that's apparently quite good there in Strubensvalley? Maybe we should both try it!

Acupuncture has been medically proven and I am sure your fs would not have you do it unless there was evidence that it works.

I think it would be excellent.
