acupuncture

last night i was talking to a couple friends, and we got on the subject of acupuncture. i'm a complete skeptic when it comes to this stuff.

1 said he did acupuncture, and it cured his lactose intolerance. he claims he used to have to go to the hospital after consuming any dairy products, and now can have all he wants. i couldn't take him serious after he explained what went on. while he was getting the acupuncture, he had to hold a glass of milk in each hand, then couldn't be within 10ft of dairy for like 2 days or something.

now i started laughing, and made some kinda joke about the milk having a restraining order against him. but then the other friend said he also completely believes in acupuncture. this one really shocked me, as he doesnt' strike me as the type to believe in this stuff.

ok, who here believes this works, and if you've had success, tell me what ailment it cured. i'm considering giving it a try for some things, but i need some more convincing.
