    Isn't >220 years "ancient" enough? After all, reiki is less than 100 years old, and acupuncture as currently practiced is less than 90 years old. (The filiform needles used today weren't introduced until the 1930s.)😏https://twitter.com/ClareWilkinso10/status/1070315645764493313 …

    Perhaps someone needs to claim they’ve discovered an “ancient cure” that involved poking substances into people’s skin with sharp sticks. Then vaccination might become magically (in every sense) appealing to these idiotic self-styled “skeptics.” https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1070310165461827584 …

        Chemistry the science has gotten a bad rap in popular culture, but the vague concept of "chemicals" REALLY has gotten a bad rap. Neither word, 'chemistry' or 'chemicals', have a positive connotation. This is a big part of the problem for young mothers.

        The filiform needles I use have improved in my lifetime several times. Better material, pine cone tips, QA, pre-sterilization. I’m constantly offered new products by manufacturers. The points have changed.

        True enough. It’s all about how ancient it is made to appear. Or even better, how exotic.
