Alternative med turning breech?

Does anyone have any experience/information with turning a breech positioned baby using alternative medicine techniques?

I've found AMA and other journal articles regarding correcting malposition of fetus by electro-acupuncture, a technique called moxibustion and application of a paste to acupressure points. I'm curious if anyone has performed/had theses practices performed and their experience.

I had my first child via cesarean, and suffered severe complications including peritonitis, severe scarring and three subsequent abdominal surguries for infection and later adhesions and bowel blockage.

I am in my 24th week with my second pregnancy and the baby is still breech at this point. If it doesn't turn I would like to try all measures to avoid another cesarean.

Any info or experiences would be helpful. PS - I'm not sure that external versioning would work, as I have a bicornuate uterus.

Thanks.
