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
It was more of a comment on the article to be honest. The writer took a few studies with inconclusive results and concluded something from them.

I've never looked into the research for cupping. The theory behind it is pseudoscience, for sure. But to try to argue against its use using inconclusive studies is doing science a disservice.

The hard part is studying it well. We have useful tools and treatments with good theory behind them that fail to show consistent results with good studies. It doesn't mean we should stop using them.
