12. I agree about the Mayo Clinic

But that article was rather thin soup and not, IMO, up to their usual standards.

"In fact, recent studies in Germany and Australia have discovered that acupuncture, when used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization, can boost a woman’s odds of successfully conceiving and carrying a baby up by 50 percent than those who didn't use acupuncture."
