    Air Force Maj. Kirsten Vitrikas, a deputy surgeon assigned to the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force - Arabian Peninsula in Balad, Iraq, explains the basics of electro-acupuncture to Army Pfc. Jason Anderson, also assigned to CJSOTF-AP. Anderson decided to try acupuncture because of pain in his right foot from surgery. "I have always been curious yet skeptical about it, but now I am a believer....it really worked."
