"Other studies researched the effectiveness of acupuncture versus medical treatment for certain conditions. A study done by Loh, Nathan, Schott and Zilkha in 1983 served as an example of such studies. A comparison was made between acupuncture and medical treatment for migraines and muscle tension headaches. Forty-eight patients were randomly allocated to either acupuncture or medical treatment. Of the 48, 23 started with acupuncture and 25 started with medical treatment. After three months, the patients were asked to switch to the other treatment and continue with that treatment for another three months. In this event, 18 patients starting with medical treatment switched to acupuncture and 11 patients switched from acupuncture to medical treatment. The results of the study show that 24 out of 41 (59%) patients showed improvements after acupuncture treatments while only 9 out of 36 (25%) patients showed improvements after the medical treatments. In addition, no major side effects were observed for acupuncture.

In a similar study, acupuncture was compared with the beta-1-selective beta blocker metoprolol (Selo-Zok®; Hässle AB, Mölndal, Sweden), which is a well-known drug. The side effects of both regimens were also compared. After a 4-week run-in period, 77 patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups. Group A received acupuncture plus placebo pills, while group B received 100 mg of metoprolol per day plus placebo stimulation. Treatments for both groups lasted for 17 weeks. The results from the data show that while both groups show significant reduction in migraine attacks at posttreatment, the side effects experienced from acupuncture were considerably lower than side effects from the drug. Fourteen patients in the metoprolol group had side effects while only three patients had side effects in the acupuncture group. The side effects of the drug were mainly fatigue, dizziness, and gastrointestinal discomfort. The side effects of acupuncture consisted of two cases of nausea and one case of euphoria. The study concluded that acupuncture should be considered as an alternative to drug taking (Hesse, Mogelvang & Simonsen, 1994).

It is obvious that you either simply don't know what you're talking about, or are openly hostile to acupuncture, or both. Perhaps you need to do your own research, perhaps try it out yourself. Until then, stop pretending that you're some sort of expert on the subject, you aren't, and the actual experts disagree with you.
