If you have "acupuncture" on NHS(GP,physio) the blood transfusion service will still allow you to donate; if you get it privately you should be given a certificate to take to the BTS that proves it was done by a reputable practitioner; I would be a bit concerned if they cannot give you the required certificate. Do go to a western practitioner, hopefully who uses intramuscular stimulation (IMs), painful yes, but very effective.
Went to the osteopath today for a bit of a service....i mentioned that i'd been diagnosed with ITB so he set to work giving me acupuncture for it so only time will tell.
Our osteopath is like god to us, my dad is contantly putting himself out of line and after a few clicks, pulls, twists and a few neddles you walk out feeling like a new man/woman.
alternatively, given that "placebo" acupuncture (ie needles stuck in anywhere at random) has been shown to work just as well as "proper" acupuncture (needles placed with regard to flow of chi etc by experienced acupuncturist) when the two have been compared in well designed scientific clinical trials, you might want to consider getting one of your mates to shove a couple of pins in your arse for free and save the hard earned for nice shiny bits of kit ;-)
