In that one particular incident, 6 people who went to a "health" resort (i.e., "alternative" care facility) instead of a hospital for science-based care, died.

Your entire arguments seem to rest on mischaracterization, wild accusations, and red herrings.

By the way, your blurb on pulse checking doesn't explain anything. Without an objective way to determine whatever it is they're looking for in the pulse, people WILL make mistakes, and injury could happen.

By noon that day I was feeling pretty bad. I came down with a terrible case of the flu. It must have thrown the pulse diagnosis way, way off.

Why couldn't he tell you had the flu from your pulse "diagnosis"? Flu is apparently something that acupuncture is useless to treat - what other diseases or conditions are immune from acupuncture?

Getting a diagnosis from an acupuncturist that is 180 degrees different than what is needed is virtually impossible.

But it can happen. That's the point, and I'm glad you're on the verge of getting it.
