Mort,
The "valid" studies are available and not too hard to find. I would suggest you find them if you are interested. Dr. Eaton did not just make up the information.
I would give you the information, but as you can see from the post previous to yours, valid information is not appreciated in this forum.
Good luck in your search, you will learn much.
Sean

Sean, could you please post the info. Anything would help, I'm quite busy and would appreciate any info that is already known. I'm hesitant to post my email address due to all the negative and inflammatory comments that have been posted here. Why you're the target of such irrational people is beyond me!

Thanks for your help.

You should try Dr Eaton in Florida. Needle proceedure

I am not an expert on NA but unfortunately I have more experience than I ever wanted with DP. I have it in both hands, one foot and one penis. There are pros and cons of all treatments. If indeed NA is a viable alternative that's great and if the studies don't yet support it I want to know. Anyone who depends on an internet chat board to be the final authority is being a little reckless IMHO. Don't ever be afraid to hear other sides of an argument. If indeed NA is the ultimate solution it can stand some scrutiny. Saying that someone is a physician on this board and has a vested interest in discrediting NA is absurd. What would be his motive? How many patients would he pick up from these boards? Dr Eaton is getting business because he is the only one doing NAs but surgeons are very common. This crap about “if you don’t have anything good to say don’t say it is analogous to the old saying- America love it or leave it and entertains no dissenting or inquiring positions.

A little history is in order.

The only reason the good Dr. Eaton learned about NA and became excited enough to fly to France and learn the procedure is **THIS CHAT BOARD** itself. But I suppose now that Eaton has done so, and has been doing NA for almost one year, one need not rely on **anything** posted here any further:):). Just go Eaton's site and get the unbiased info direct from the Worlds most informed practitioner of both surgery and NA. At present he is as close to a "final authority" as we now have.
