I was just continuing this conversation with a physician friend and he had a great line, "It's only called alternative medicine until it works... then they start calling it medicine". -Great point. For some people efficacy ceases to exist until something is peer reviewed etc. If it works for you, fine. So long as it's not endangering yourself or others. I think there is validity in some "alternative treatments". I'm curious though, what's this "cupping" all about? What do people use this to treat and what, if any, is the positive physiological effect?
