If a traditional acupuncturist diagnosed a patient as having too much yin somewhere, he would jab a selected point with a gold yang needle. In today's China, the newly respectable "scientific" acupuncturists rely mainly upon proletarian stainless steel. The modernists have added about 200 points to the list of accepted targets, and they sterilize their needles. But they are unable to explain how the treatment achieves its effects...
