Is Acupuncture Effective, Or Is It All in You Mind?
Many in modern medicine believe that acupuncture’s benefits, if there are any are entirely related to the Placebo effect-the minds effect on the body. Belief that a treatment is effective makes it effective. The truth of the matter is that, the placebo effect impacts every treatment-including drugs and surgery. It is our belief in the benefit of the treatment and our anticipation of improvement, regardless of the presence of a therapeutic therapy that causes the measurable physiological improvements.
