Christianity's fake, too. And yet faith helps some people.

[thene]

Yep. That's the beauty of the placebo effect. (And no, I'm not an atheist.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. If it helps people, then let it. I don't see why you're so insistent that everyone believe it's fake.

You appear to believe that if someone believes that acupuncture works, they also must not believe that Western medicine works, and can't possibly be using both at the same time. I don't understand why you think this.

[thene]

I'm not sure where you're getting that from...? I don't think that people don't use both acupuncture and 'Western' medicine at the same time, or that people who believe acupuncture works don't believe that Western medicine works.

Why are acupuncturists so insistent that everyone believe that their placebo treatment is more than that? Because there's money in it, I guess? It's not like I have the power to stop anyone from believing anything, but there's no harm in passing around the results of clinical trials on the subject. It's kinda interesting imo.

Funny thing is, I don't think we've got any acupuncturists posting in these threads.

If I may give it a shot though, I think people are insisting that Acupuncture as more than placebo is because it's pretty insulting to lump a 3000 year old practice in with sugar pills just because Western Science hasn't figured it out yet. Acupuncture (among other practices) has been part of a lot of Asia's medical history for a very long time--there are schools dedicated to teaching this skill.

There is a multitude of things that Science does not know about the Human body. Acupuncture has survived for millenia, despite periodic persecution--you would think it'd take something stronger than a placebo effect to manage that.

Just my .02 on that though--if a real Acupuncturist would like to step in, plz do.

Christianity's fake, too.

YMMV.
