Hi TBO! i know, i am in california and it's much easier here. I had a friend recommend me her doctor. I would start by asking around. Ask for a naturopath or a licenced acupuncturist. here is a good site to get info on naturopaths: http://www.biohealthinfo.com/index.html.
personally, acupuncture has had an amazing effect on me, you should give it a try. ideally it would be someone that combines acupuncture and herbal treatment, as most people do. licenced acupuncturists also have access to labs and can do the necessary labs. I would say just ask ask ask and make sure it's someone that has years of experience in acupuncture, while at the same time keeps on top of all the recent stuff that biolabs have to offer. i wish i could be of more help, but i am sure there are good people in chicago!
