Which best gives evidence for a counterargument against acupuncture? a) acupuncture is one of the key components of the system of traditional chinese medicine (tcm). b) when not delivered properly, acupuncture can cause serious adverse effects, including infections and punctured organs. c) the fda requires that sterile, nontoxic needles be used and that they be labeled for single use by qualified practitioners only. d) relatively few complications from the use of acupuncture have been reported to the fda in light of the millions of people treated each year.

I hope this helps...Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.
