Modern medicine also had plenty of practices along the way that we now disagree with. Cherrypicking two examples to discredit the acupuncture is a terrible way to prove a point. My argument wasn't that alternative medicines must be just as effective because they're old. My point was simply that hand waving anything that isn't western medicine is a very close minded view in a community that is so often pushing for equality and open mindedness above all else.
