Why should the effectiveness of acupuncture suddenly be better documented than traditional remedies, when only 1000 patients participated and - problematically by principle - no real double-blind test was conducted? Sorry, but the study doesn't really prove very much. Okay, it does provide an indication that the whole thing should be investigated further - but to claim that it is better documented than medication treatment strikes me as somewhat exaggerated.
