ahh… but this is a science question. does the intervention work or does it not? that is the question, and only a scientific study can answer that. this is not an issue of taste or personal philosophy or religious faith. The asian model as you call it has little science to it. there is no asian notion of anatomy there is only anatomy. there is no asian notion of physiology, there is only scientific physiology, anything else is, well, not scientific and not worth supporting. you want to go to a non scientific medical practitioner, fine,,, just dont ask me, through my tax dollars, to pay for it. and lets not pay for what regular doctors do that is not scientifically based either, just to be fair and show you that i dont have a nut for so called non orthodox treatment
