<Just noodled around a bit in the National Institute for Health (NIH) database, more than nine thousand research articles on acupuncture. If it's bogus, I wonder why so many millions of research dollars are being advanced? >

For the same reason that a billion Moslems kneel like rows of sardines towards Mecca, believe in Islamic Jihad and Christians go on Crusades.

It costs a lot of money, but hey, it puts out a lot of neuropeptides, not to mention adrenaline and icky red liquid when they do head-hacking.

Because people do something, doesn't mean it's a good thing. Nearly everything people do is absurd. Random acts of displacement activity because they can't figure out a better idea.

That is due to poor pig/chimp experiements in bygone eras when they didn't have the scientific method at hand, so to speak.
