Thanks for the reply, but I can't stand it when people flat-out call something stupid just because they think their own interpretation of the facts is the only truth. I work in the medical field, so I know exactly what a genetic disorder entails and the implications of missing proteins in cellular metabolism. Acupuncture is actually recognized by mainstream medicine. If you had bothered to look deeper, you’d realize vision loss happens long before photoreceptors actually die. By ensuring adequate ocular perfusion, you can potentially maintain sight and support cone function—since cones don't carry the mutation and are responsible for central vision. I personally know someone dealing with this exact condition who tried a specialized Boeing acupuncture technique, and their vision actually improved. That’s supposed to be "impossible" since the disease is progressive. It doesn't mean the disease stopped, but slowing it down and increasing blood flow to rods suffering from hypoxia? That is a real result.
So, before you try to crush the will of someone who is actively seeking help—help that might actually work while they wait for a definitive cure—think twice. Try providing helpful information using a neutral tone instead.

Anyway, I’m still waiting for an answer to my question if anyone actually has one.

Hey there,

Does anyone else here deal with retinitis pigmentosa? It's this hereditary eye condition I'm fighting, and I was wondering if anyone has actually tried acupuncture treatments over in Seattle for it. If not, does anyone have other methods that actually work? Alternative therapies, anything at all—please share. I’d really appreciate the help since I'm going through this myself.

Thanks!
