I can't help with what a LAP is but I know what you mean with fish oil. I didn't find any bad side effects from the kelp but I used the a. Vogel ones because they are certified organic and have none of the harmful stuff left in them. As for the needles I am the kind of "lay down for a blood test and sing to myself in my head girl". I found acupuncture SO different because half the time I didn't feel the needles and they are seriously tiny. The biggest thing is to pick something and stick at it. Natural stuff takes a couple of months to kick in but for me it fixed/helped it. I just had to weigh up do I put up some discomfort and overcome my psychological issue with needles and have a baby or resort to drugs straight a way. But it's up to every woman you need to be comfortable and happy with what you decide. Hang in there hun there is always hope xxx
