Colon Hydrotherapy

[Jonathan Whatley]

But I absolutely know acupuncture works since I've had several treatments in the past.

Scenario: I had an awful cold, and treated it with acupuncture. The cold symptoms disappear. At this point, do I absolutely know acupuncture works?

The conditions you treated with acupuncture, do you absolutely know that they couldn't have been self-limiting? The improvement you witnessed: do you absolutely know the condition couldn't have benefitted from regression toward the mean, from spontaneous remission?

Additionally, was acupuncture the only thing you were doing to improve or that could have improved your conditions? If you were doing anything else, and something external treated you, are you absolutely certain it couldn't have been that something else, and not necessarily the acupuncture?

Colon hydrotherapy may not work but to me that doesn't mean all alternative therapies don't?

I largely agree! With a very big note on language: There's a much clearer name for alternative medicine that works.
