1/2 It's tough though. I imagine many of these people are fools or quacks or unethical at worst, so I agree with what you're saying. On the other hand, many of these are also ethical good intentioned ppl, who have carefully weighed risk vs reward in trying new things.

2/3 If there's no one willing to try things that there is no clinical evidence for, how will we ever learn about new things or procedures that work? Are we just gonna expect it all to come top down, from universities and labs? To me new ideas of the clinical kind come bottom up

3/3 To me the focus should be on weeding out quacks, but not making it so hard and legally precarious you stop docs from willing to look for new solutions, discoveries I know too many well intentioned clinicians w lots of good ideas and observations scared to try anything new

The pediatric pain clinic at Stanford used acupuncture on a number of children with complex chronic pain as part of a multidisciplinary approach with good success. Placebo? Actual benefit? Not clear to me, but successful nonetheless.
