Try to remember when you think about acupuncture and Chinese medicine and the lungevity that it has. Think about this the United States is a little over three hundred years old. The Roman Empire was built about 2,000 years ago the pyramids were built 4000 years ago. If people think that Chinese medicine or acupuncture is more than just different it's unproven please think about the millions upon millions of people who have received help and thrived with this ancient unproven Medical Practice. If acupuncture and Chinese medicine is experimental then the Chinese language should be seen as experimental. According to the best records know acupuncture is over 6000 years old. I think that we should take the best of what it offers and view it as a valid and vital part of the options that we have in healthcare. It has stood the test of time.
