Acupuncture is like herbal supplements. There are studies you can point to if you want to defend it, which is handy for people who make money on it. I know a guy who worked for a veterinary clinic for years and used to bellyache about how the owner was a hippy dippy quack who was promoting alternative treatments like acupuncture and herbalism, and it was fine if people were morons and chose that stuff for themselves, but to use it on animals, yadda yadda yadda. Then he bought the clinic from her. Less than a year later, he was certified in veterinary acupuncture and was making sure that new vets he hired were down with alternative medicine. "There are studies...." Yeah, you knew about those studies before, when you were calling it an unethical scam. We all know what new information changed your mind, and it wasn't in veterinary journals, it was in the finances of the clinic you just bought. Lost a lot of respect for that guy overnight.
