    I’d disagree. Even as a sample of one, I benefitted from it greatly from treating my sinus and LBP. For a bit of context, this is in Singapore where we have a formal medical board to regulate TCM and acupuncture, and physicians undergo years of college education. Laws are also present to deter abuse and protect patients.
