Just to let you know, I experienced a marked improvement after my fifth unilateral treatment that lasted for most of that day. Your plan to evaluate after 6-8 treatments might have some validity to it.
I really wouldn't know what to recommend. There are some people who don't receive robust improvements unless they follow a course of 15 treatments. However, when reading of such cases, you never see an account of what were the results throughout the course, and whether or not small improvements manifest by the eighth treatment.
I'm sure you'll figure it all out as you go along.
Had I not received that early benefit, I don't know if I would have persisted for another 10 treatments, the last 8 of which were bilateral.
Anyone got a crystal ball?
