    Dr. Duong Hoang has been successfully treating MS patients for over 25 years. He developed the protocol and wrote an article – Acupuncture Therapy for Paralysis Due to Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis
    By Dr. Duong Hoang in the American Journal of Acupuncture, Vol. 9, No. 2, April-June 1981.

    Acupuncture helped me a lot in relaxation. It takes away some of my muscle cramps due to physical stress.
