1. Hmmm- that's the one thing I haven't been called |

I'm a militant fundamentalist closed minded Taliban scientific worshipping materialistic Big Pharma shill who believes in faith based science but not a anti-Acupuncturist afaik ( and yes, I have been called everything I wrote here...)

so I'm not a fundamentalist anti acupuncturist. The stuff works on pain receptors in the brain. What we don't know is if random needling will do as well as the Chinese points, although preliminary research suggests it does.

I think it can help for somethings as the literature suggests. But I also witnessed it torture my sister with Lupus so I know its no "miracle" cure.

7. They hated animal testing for real. |

They considered it "Jewish science" for some reason.

6. I get accupuncture every year. |
|
A nurse sticks a needle in my arm and it makes me immune to the flu. :evilgrin:
Sometimes I get accupuncture in my mouth so the dentist can operate without so much screaming.
