I don't really want to get into an argument about this, but no, it doesn't.
Technically I'd say you're right, but that has as much to do with the way a clinical trial needs to be structured as it does with acupuncture. But acupuncture doesn't seem woo woo to me. Maybe it's living in LA, where the woo woo grows free, but I reserve the term to describe the truly out-there theories I hear, like that hazel eyes don't exist in nature and are caused by bodily toxins, and that you can turn your hazel eyes blue by drinking aloe vera.
No really, a smart person once told me that FOR REALZ!
The aloe must flow!
I love the Sand Worm scrub.
OMG, we have even MORE Mardi Gras treats.
I don't recall my department EVER doing the Mardi Gras thing like this before.
I wonder if it's because the Catholic Church is so much in the news this week?
Jessica,
I am not looking for an argument, but a discussion: I thought there was some medical evidence to support acupuncture. No? Really? WTF.
It works on Beau like gangbusters. I cannot believe that's all psychosomatic. I mean, maybe it is, but damn that would be amazing.
The store I was working at this morning had donuts, it didn't occur to me until know that they may have been for Mardi Gras.
I think we all need some baby kangaroo today:

So cute!
I have pictures like that too! [link] [link]
Happy Mardi Gras! I am eating a banana pecan muffin.
FWIW, I know people who've gotten acupuncture on their horses, and swear by the results. Totally anecdotal of course, but enough to make me go 'Huh.'
