TEENAGER SOLVES THE RIDDLE OF WHY ACUPUNCTURE WORKS???!!!!

According to the latest SCIENCE ILLUSTRATED, the riddle of why acupuncture works,despite various studies and conjectures of the past, is that the needles apparently stimulate the flow of adenosine and further research is underway to determine ways to increase the benefits of standard methods of acupuncture, etc. The article raises many questions among healers who do not use needles or traditional acupuncture but base their methods on acupuncture and energy flows or energy flow theories and similar notions and WHO DO NOT ACTUALLY TOUCH THE BODY OF THE PATIENTS IN ANY WAY....so the question remains how do such treatments bring the benefits of acupuncture to the patients with not touch......this is an interesting question on many levels and which I hope to further study when I have time.....
