Why would you want a therapy that doesn't work, and is more harmful then helpful?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Excuse me, but leech therapy DOES work. I had it for Arthritis in my back and knee in Europe. The pain was immediately reduced. I would certainly rather have this therapy than knee replacement surgery which was what was being recommended. I had absolutely no side effects to the leech therapy and even though it sounds awful, it is really only mildly uncomfortable.
