This source seems to present at least marginal support for your contention. I see two substantial issues with it. First is that the material is provided in "boxed content" with the heading "Concepts, Challenges and Controversies" and the title "Acupuncture: Is It For Real?" it is not presented as mainstream consensus or accepted biomedical information included in the text. Second it also states, "In the United States, AA [Acupuncture Analgesia] has not been used in mainstream medicine [...]". That seems to contradict your assertion. Also the support it cites is for the "acupuncture endorphin hypothesis" not for qi, meridians or much of what acupuncture is purported to do.
@A1candidate: Thank you for presenting this information and I look forward seeing what other sources you (or others can provide). As for your quandary regarding what information to provide I suggest you start with the strongest, particularly those which explicitly state there is a consensus in the scientific community. You addressed your comment to myself and another editor and you stated your experience with "many of the same editors". Two specific/many of the same? If you are frustrated by prior seemingly futile attempts you should have used the appropriate processes. In posting here and now please proceed with good faith and an assumption of such. In other words skip the complaints about the past, hope for fair and open mindedness and concerns about wasting time and stick to discussion of editing content and the policies that apply. - -
