I chose a systemic review covering many conditions because acupuncture helps many conditions. You asked for just one study originally, for one condition. I figured since one study of rats wasnt good enough for you, a systemic study of multiple conditions for people would be.

I never claimed that. I just pointed out how a lot of research starts with animals and you never requested a specific study.

The National Intrepid Center of Excellence at Walter Reed Bethesda treats active duty wounded warriors with eastern and western practices. One of the things that has helped the soldiers, usually SEALS, with their headaches and migraines is acupuncture. Which would qualify as pain relief. I didnt make anything up. Hospitals, clinics, and physicians - definitely neurologists, refer to acupuncturists all the time.

You posted meta-analysis that only managed to produce weak correlative findings in one of the conditions it looked at. It also didn't study treatment of TBI, which was your argument was claiming in the first place. It was your choice to go with that study, not mine. If you aren't happy that study didn't sufficiently prove your claims, you should have picked another one. You claimed that acupuncture had a medically demonstrable efficacy in addressing a number of medical conditions. When I ask you for evidence to back up your claims, I shouldn't need to specify that you need evidence that actually demonstrates the clinical effectiveness of acupuncture. You say medical professionals endorse accupuncture "all the time", but how about YOU provide some specificity; What is the actual overwhelming medical, academic and research consensus on the efficacy of acupuncture in treating the list of conditions that you laid out?
