Immediately after Nixon went to China, Harvard Medical School sent a team of physicians and a documentary film crew to film surgical operations using acupuncture as anesthesia. I watched the film they produced. One of the most astonishing segments was of a woman having open heart surgery with nothing but acupuncture. She was conscious, sipping liquids through a straw and talking to the various people in the operating theater while her chest was cracked open, ribs held back with retractors and her heart exposed to the camera.

The film was made by Harvard Medical School, not the Chinese government.

If that's placebo, that's some heavy duty placebo. WE don't have any placebo that good.
