You speak to statistical support of at least an anecdotal nature with > The research and validation on both Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine goes > back millenium, with many cases.
But I would be curious about what mechanistic explanations have been offered for the effectiveness/efficacy of specific treatments, and what support each one has. I will accept any medicine that has a well-supported mechanism for function, regardless of whether it is 'alternative' or not (what a silly term, of course each treatment is an alternative to every other treatment meant to address the same condition. As to how well each addresses it, the proof is in the pudding). -Arlo James Barnes
