So a magic bag of twigs and dead insects can cure keloidal acne?
I mean, this anecdote proves it! So much for the enlightenment and the scientific method.

yay Science!
Because of course this scathing comment with no supporting evidence of its own disproves it.

Woo!

You know what they call alternative medicine that has been proven to work?
Don'tcha?

science?
I was rather hoping that people would just find the story funny....but in terms of science, there's quite a bit that we don't know about the body and how accupuncture works (even if as a placebo): online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704841304575137872667749264.html

I don't blindly turn to alternative therapies, but I think that they can be an option for non-life threatening cases in which conventional treatments have failed.

Poor youbut well done for being brave enough to try it - sometimes it does pay off! I'm normally a bit sceptical of alternative medicine but I have seen it work sometimes. Glad it did for you. :)
