Voodoo Medicine

Voodoo Acupuncture medicine is bogus.  Why would anyone even attempt such a flawed study?

Notice, that no sham acupuncture was used (that's intended for a second study).  So what we basically have is the placebo effect.

And worse, most of the study is based on self-reporting by the patients rather than by objective physical measurements (some salivary flow rates were measured, but hardly mentioned in the article).
