Not every acupuncturist is changing tons of money. Seeing a therapist or neurologist is pretty damn expensive. If the acupuncturist is charging thousands of dollars, I would consider that to be bad, charlton or sincere. I also think there needs to be much stricter regulations these practitioners in many areas. In some states, you can go to a 6 week "school" and officially earn the title of Doctor. That shouldn't happen.

Any acupunucturist charging more than the cost of a vial of sugar water is a charlatan. I mean really even then they still would be, but at least your claim of "some acupuncture is only, a marginal violation of basic human and medical ethics" would actually hold some weight.

Charlatan has the connotation that it is intentional. Many medications that psychiatrist prescribe have been shown not to do much better than placebo. Just going to see a professional has been show to have positive effects. Sometimes, if other treatments aren't working, I don't see a problem with tricking the brain.
