I wish this was in text format because there are lots of statements that needed highlighting to point out problems.
I have been reading lots of critiques of CAM Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and they would have a heyday listing all that is not scientific in this paper. They call it biomedical woo. Sorry about the image but you have to read about the upper invasion of blood statis, liver, wind and phlegm and obstruction of brain orifices. This is also where the movie 9000 needles comes from.
If you want to follow CAM this one of the books that dissect it.
