The National Institute of Health (NIH) conducted its own extensive research in November, 1997, primarily focusing on the biological basis and efficacy of acupuncture.  While they concur with WHO on many conditions and additionally recommend acupuncture as an effective treatment for asthma, the 1997 NIH panel concluded:

There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture’s value to expand its use into conventional medicine and to encourage further studies of its physiology and clinical value.”

NIH, 1997.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING:

Since I last visited your office for acupuncture, I have to tell you I feel amazing!

To be specific – I went to visit you because my lower back at L4-L5 was starting to wear me down.  Now I can get back to doing everything I could before the pain started. In addition, my sleep has improved and I no longer experience cold hands and feet. Daniel, I want to thank you both for being so attentive and helping me to get back to normal.

See you again in four weeks.
