"Alt medicine" is medicine that doesn't work. If it worked, it would be called, "medicine".

I take these "digestive and immune support" gummies that taste absolutely delicious and all the amazon reviews are like "MADE MY PUSSY SMELL GOOD" and "NO MORE PUSSY PROBLEMS AFTER TAKING THESE".

Mom used to take me to a chiropractor when I was a kid, guess I lucked out because I didn't end up with a crooked spine or anything. NGL though, those back cracks felt hella good.

I never believed in acupuncture, attributing its results to placebo effect until I saw it done in dogs. It legit has short term therapeutic effects. I don't think it's like, chakra nonsense, but maybe some sort of endorphin/dopamine release. I dunno. Dogs came in limping, and left not limping. It was a short duration of effect, but it seemed to help keep them comfortable while they healed in conjunction with traditional medication.

The only other explanation is that the dogs believe in acupuncture. So I guess put me down for kind of sort of believing in acupuncture, but I probably wouldn't ever do it myself.

I had an English professor in college that believed in homeopathy, like to cure a cold you take 1/1000 of a mg of X mineral resolved in Y liquid according to some chart, and then increase the dose incrementally until you feel better. She once came into class wheezing from a bad cold and admitted that maybe she needed to go to a real doctor.

I’ll bet the effect will be even more pronounced if you have the administering parties dress up in lab coats or nurses uniforms. Remember placebo is real medicine.

I've run into this kind of thing several times in the last few years. For example, an actual no-poo poo doctor wanted to perform accupuncture on my wife for migraines she was having (turned out after I pushed for an MRI it was an ear infection about to spread into her brain. Woops!).

Either doctors are as crazy as everyone else post-covid, or the crazies have driven the normal ones out if the profession.

Being stabbed with many needles would tend to take one's mind off other aches and pains for a while.

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
Weed addicts when you tell them their drug that they're dependent on (because theyre loving losers) isn't a cure-all for every single ailment:

Yeah, like I said, not chakra or anything, but some actual physiological response. If the very tiny needles hurt less than the other pain, and offer some sort of short term relief, why not?
