Acupuncture for Dry Mouth is a tough issue that I've avoided since once again I have to be the bad guy telling everyone that Magic does not work except for the true believers. Just like the Voodoo doctors could put a hex and kill the superstitious villagers while the Explorer scoffed and lived, just laughing off the mumbo jumbo, all these woo woo folk count on our inate wish to believe.
At best, it works for 50% and never long just like every placebo. 50% want to believe so like all placebo treatments, it works for the true believers and medically gullible. so unfair to those of us who live in the real world. any study without a true �sham� acupuncture arm is worthless, and well-designed studies show �sham� acupuncture to be no different than �real� acupuncture; i.e., no different than placebo.
All the test purporting to prove accupuncture are really flawed like the boggest German one half ass German study on accupunture
no one wants to deal with the fact that when double blind tests are done on acupuncture and instead of needles, just a blunt pin is applied, the results are the same for both the acupuncture group and the fake groups. Here is a funny one about where the sham accupunture actually worked better than the needles Sham acupuncure better than real
All the CAM stuff is just wishful thinking that we lived in a Harry Potter world instead of our poor muggle one where we have to muddle through with boring old scientific medicine.
