Make yourself knowledgable before you drag something into the dirt. I used homoepathy on myself for 30 years, including homoepathic "vacciations" and malaria protection for a 4-week trip through India. Worked perfectly well. (I gues you say I was just lucky....). Galileo was killed because he found the earth is a ball - which did not meet the thinking of his time. A true scientist is a rationale observers - watching the actual effects and experimental outcomes and adjusting theories if necessary (as Galileo did). "Who heals is right."

Of course you're going to see "changes in the brain" when someone starts sticking needles into your skin! The appropriate question is: What the heck does it mean, and is it genuine to acupuncture (or just sticking needles anywhere), and does it have anything to say about whether acupuncture works? Hint: It doesn't. Holy non-sequitur!
