>>23778382My understanding is that it is mostly pseudoscience quackery, but there are elements of it that have been shown to work they just don't understand why
>>23778641Placebo is a hell of a drug, so much so that it actually works sometimes.
>>23778643Yeah probably, it's just good to not work on an assumption that we understand everything. Medical traditions like this in many cases stumbled on shit that works through trial and error without actually understanding the medicine behind it, just because we haven't puzzled it out yet doesn't mean it's totally placebo, even though that's a likely explanation.
>>23778651NNNNNOOOO I'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT!! I'M RIGHT AND IT HAS TO BE THAT WAY MY MOMMY TOLD ME SO AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
