Re: Sham Acupuncture Matches the Real Thing in Knee OA (CME/CE) I always wondered if I would have had better results with it, had I had an actual person from China who learned it there doing it. Versus the Hippie I had- LOL. I know you can be taught how to do it, but just seems if someone grew up in China and generations were doing it, that they may have a few tricks up their sleeve. It would be interesting to know if there was a difference.
