Can Acupuncture Truly Heal People?

Can you actually heal people? Is that a thing? I stumbled upon acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine a bit by accident. A friend loaned me a book that was about traditional Chinese medicine, dietary therapy, which sounds so nerdy, and truly it was. But I started absorbing this book like it were, like, the most exciting novel I'd ever read. I was just plowing through this text that was like this big, you know, get. Get home from work, and was excited to read it. And that was sort of my introduction. Decided to go to grad school for. For this. And at the same time, I was seeing an acupuncturist who I was going through digestive problems, and I had had these horrible allergies that would pop up a couple times a year, and they would get so bad that the whites of my eyes would swell. And this acupuncturist, I'm not even kidding, cured these allergies. They went away. It was almost 20 years ago. They never came back. And so I was between the book and that. I was incredibly impressed and realized I'd found the thing that could work on fixing people and was really excited about that.
