The acupuncture sort of kick starts the nerves and gets them started again. Somewhat like giving the car battery a boost. The massage then gets the circulation going and keeps it moving. An important part of massage is the benefits derived by the lymph system to aid in cleansing the body. I go every 2 weeks now, but in the beginning I went twice a week.
Food Supplements are important to add to our diet.
Also, to eat as natural as possible, and the less processed food the better. I do not eat diet foods as the aspartame etc. is killing us, and a little natural fat is better for us than the pretend stuff they stick in diet food. I use the example of butter versus margarine. The butter today is not as pure as it was when as a kid I shook cream in a jar to make our butter. However, the butter today is still more natural and nutritional than the margarine.
