I was asked to post this to CMT by Spence, after I sent it out to ABORM as a group. The debate rages on in the research community about whether acupuncture can really help IVF patients or not. The political movement trying to discredit acupuncture also continues, and will play on eternally. The text below was something I wrote in response to some consternation about two things: the recent Danish study that "proves" acupuncture does nothing for IVF patients, and the upcoming discussion at ASRM spearheaded by Alice Domar trying to discredit acupuncture as a valid IVF support method. Enjoy, and would love to hear your comments:
I would like to chime in on this and I hope that everyone will read what I have to say and at least give it some thought.
