The internet is flush with dubious claims about health and medicine based on hearsay, opinion, imagination, and unsystematic evidence. This blog restricts itself to the presentation of clinical evidence based on systematic research as reported in peer-reviewed journals of medical science. Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years, but only by becoming evidence-based can the practice of acupuncture be better understood, accepted and improved.
