We hear it quite often: doctors and therapists who are skeptical or sometimes outright rejecting of acupuncture while their patients, often as a last resort, still go to an acupuncturist and benefit incredibly from it, yet hardly dare to talk about it. They keep quiet to the doctor because they don't want to hear about it anyway, and they keep quiet to the people around them because they find acupuncture 'vague' or 'alternative'
Fortunately, Ingrid found her way to the magazine Friend and told her story: 'Acupuncture has lifted me out of a deep valley'. Acupuncture can mean so much to people in pain. How it works on a physical level is explained in the article on the third page. We would phrase it slightly differently, like this:
How good it would be if the atmosphere of 'vague' and 'alternative' and 'unproven' surrounding acupuncture would disappear. It is a treatment method that has long since proven its right to exist, as evidenced by the many, many positive experiences of patients and the now abundant scientific evidence. For this, we refer you to the Knowledge Centre, see below. Let's keep telling that positive story! To anyone who wants to hear it. And - perhaps even better - to everyone who would rather not hear it.
