irrelevant[edit]
since "doctors" actally use disposable needles the remark concerning disease spreading is groundless itself..

- sry, just reporting what i saw myself.
- how can i support it? (not sarcasm)
- medical guidelines? i know that probably "dr"Wong uses the same needles his grandfather gave him, but i believe that in structures
- such as hospitals or clinics a doctor who does not dispose of such materials will not last long. 93.35.51.187 (talk) 12:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Tools Used[edit]
According to the nice folk at Science Based Medicine, acupuncture is referenced in historical texts but most of the tools used in those references are scarily large sized: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/acupuncture-and-fascial-planes-junk-science-and-wasteful-research/ I don't have access to the original texts that SBM cite, but I'm pretty sure I'm not alone amongst modern folk who mentally think acupuncture=needles and could do with a reminder. It's only in my head because I was trawling the SBM archives last week and re-read it then! Jeshyr (talk) 08:32, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
