    When I was (much) younger, I believed #acupuncture worked. I know, I know. I’m wiser now. It's only a theatrical placebo. But I still have to ask: Is acupuncture winning? See my blog post at http://skepdoc.info . http://bit.ly/2T11E4Q

        As I cannot even imagine how it could work except with magical thinking, I always refused to try. Even with a recidiving discal hernia. I don’t like doctors taking me for a fool.

        I sympathise! I was brought up with acupuncture & chiro and thought they were legit. In my defence, I will say that when I was 17 & my mother took me to have colonic irrigation, at the last minute I refused! 🤮

        Great article as usual. On the placebo aspect you might want to reference this study in the future as an illustration, that placebo acupuncture can be administered without even touching the patient:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5772373/ …
