people have been worshipping the sun for 1000s of years, treating illness (particularly the Chinese) by drinking mercury for 1000s of years etc etc . So what? People have been praying to a God and gods for 1000s of years. People for 1000s of years believe a guy rose from the dead and went to heaven with absolutely no evidence to support the claim other than a vague mention in a letter, yet they "feel his healing power" in their lives everyday.
I am talking about actual science and you use bizarre logic like "an insurance company says, 'if you want this, you'll have to pay for it' so therefore, it must be real".
Wear your helmet even when you're not riding. Please do this for us all.
The science is in... acupuncture has been studied to death and their are countless published, peer reviewed studies debunking acupuncture... which has no provable basis in anything real at all.
BTW... people ONLY know about acupuncture today because Chairman Mao brought it back as a way to appear to be sending 1000s of "doctors" to rural areas to treat people - requiring no real training/tools/medical equipment/medicines - i.e., it was super cheap, ... and it was necessary after whacking out nearly every educated person in the nation. It wasn't even popular in China at that time until he made it popular.
