* Has substantially lower incidence of adverse effects than many drugs or accepted medical procedures used for the same conditions.
* The data in support of acupuncture are as strong as for many accepted Western medical therapies.
Clinical Research (NIH) demonstrates that Acupuncture:
* Stimulates bone regrowth

* Increases red and white blood cell count
* Stimulates production of pain modulating endorphins and enkephalins
