Hi Sally,

    You can obtain Perque here....www.tidhealth.com.  If he is in alot of  pain 
I would take 6 tabs 4 times a day.  It usually takes 2 - 4 days to start 
working.  It is a unique combination of quercetin dihydrate and OPC.  It is a 
very effective anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.  It will also stimulate 
repair of damaged tissues over time.   I hope your acupuncturist is good.... 
technique and experience is everything in this art... he should obtain relief 
within 1 - 6 treatments.  Anything more than that and I would switch 
practitioners.  Another good therapy to go along with the acupuncture is a 
pulsed electro-magnet done once or twice daily.  

    Hope this helps.

    Dr. Bob
