One of the oldest forms of so-called alternative or complementary medicine is the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture, now claimed by many to be a science. Michael Shermer goes in search of what is behind acupuncture through interviews and getting himself poked!

The Acupuncture Network - a web-based community of acupuncturists - launched their first video on International Creep Like a Ninja Day, 5th December 2006.
