i read something interesting a few weeks back. It was a book by Dr. Margaret Patterson published in 1975. Dr. Patterson developed an electrical acupuncture device used to help drug and alcohol addicts overcome additions. Her better known patients are famous UK musicians and actors such as Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Sean Connery etc.
She made a mention that she felt her acupuncture device helped addicts by raising endorphin levels. This is the same main theory mentioned on how LDN is thought to work.
What caught my attention was how her machine was used by some patients to help with pain and the autoimmune condition Parkinson's. Little more was mentioned on this. Addiction was the main point of the book.
No mention was made about IBD conditions being helped by her acupuncture device unfortunately. It would be nice if the device did work on autoimmune conditions such as IBD as it is simple to use. One simply hooks it up to the ear and let it run for a short period of time. No daily pills or diet change required.
A little about her and her NET acupuncture device can be read here:

qualify as a doctor at
Scotland’s Aberdeen University and in 1948 went as a medical missionary
to India. She has helped rescue drug abusers Eric Clapton, Keith Moon,
Rolling Stones bad boy Keith Richards and The Who’s Peter Townsend, who
frankly admits, “If I hadn’t gone to Meg, I’d be dead.”...
