Recommendations on specific clinics for long COVID

I have been suffering from long Covid for more than two years (worst symptom is extreme fatigue) and have been to two acupuncturists. Several sessions with needles and expensive herbal medicines and no improvement whatsoever. LC is a viral phenomenon which Chinese medicine is not equipped to treat, and a lot of these people are money-sucking quacks. I advise you give it up.

@annlandi, you're quite right that with alternative and integrative medicine, one should be aware of the risks and benefits, as well as the qualification of the practitioner.
To all:
There is increasing acceptance and evidence to support the use of Integrative Medicine, in particular to reduce sypmtoms. Integrative medicine is a term used for health care practices that traditionally haven't been part of conventional medicine. In many cases, as evidence of safety and effectiveness grows, these therapies are being combined with conventional medicine.

When considering integrative health approaches, it’s important to take charge of your health by being an informed consumer. Find out and consider what scientific studies have been done on the safety and effectiveness of the product or practice that interests you. Be wary of products or practices claiming immediate or drastic effects. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
