Why is accreditation by the ACCME significant for a course that teaches
acupuncture but not for one that teaches about reflexology?

Given the amount of time you seem to be spending finding courses about
acupuncture and making up lies about what I might or might not say, I would
think that you would have sufficient time to read actual literature in
the field.

Have you read the original article that reported the results of the 2004
osteoarthritis study?

Have you read any of the citations that I posted in February?

Have you read either of the citations that I posted that present evidence
that acupuncture is no more effective than a placebo in treating people
addicted to smoking?

Have you read the article that I cited that presented evidence that
acupuncture is not effective against constipation?
