Marjorie has had good success with infertility, in fact, her last patient, at age 41, became pregnant with twins after she had mortgaged her house and paid for four previous implants which did not lead to pregnancy. She also treats stress and obesity. Western medicine is actively researching various theories as to how acupuncture works. Many of these are being done with MRIs that indicate significant physiological changes due to acupuncture treatment. New pathways and meridians are also being scientifically researched.
Acupuncture also moves the blood to and from body locations, which helps in healing.
Each herb is believed to enter a specific channel and effect specific organs or areas of the body, so the formula must be precise for each person. Acupuncturists check the tongue, pulse, voice, posture, and many other areas in order to give the right formula of herbs and diagnose the condition of a patient. All Acupuncturists are trained in acupressure and homeopathic medications. There are various types of acupuncture, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Five element, etc. Marjorie often uses an eclectic approach in her work.
