I don't perform cupping, I don't use it, and I don't recommend it. But to claim, with certainty, it does nothing is pseudoscience in itself. There are theories, however weak, to justify it's use (ie increases blood flow, a change in inflammatory markers, etc) so until it's disproven it isn't necessarily pseudoscience.

How much is a reasonable amount of money thrown at study after study enough to convince you it is pseudoscience.?
All positive studies come out of China from biased sources. While any well constructed study did not show any benefit.
All pseudoscience supporter use the same argument you just did. At some point you are just throwing money away to try and convince the unconvinceable.
Same with the millions spent on studies trying to link MMR to autism. You will not change their minds.
Anyways. Go Canada ! Looking forward to the swimming tonight
