The Jordan Harbinger Show
1085: Traditional Chinese Medicine | Skeptical Sunday

It was lovely, with lovely people. I laid on a bed with needles sticking out of my face and my arms and my chest and legs, and I meditated to New Age music for like 30 minutes. And when it was all over, I felt chill and good. What ailment were you there for? Arm pain. It's kind of similar to me, actually. So did it help? No, not even a little bit.

Unless you account for the fact that over the course of months of acupuncture and not overusing my arms, it got better, which is exactly what happened the second time in my life. I had arm pain, but only took a few months off of strenuous work and did no acupuncture. Kind of turns out that we humans heal with or without acupuncture. But you know what?

In truth, it was lying in that acupuncturist's office that I first tried meditating. You said strenuous work, but dude, you're a comedian.

Yeah, Jordan, there's an old saying inside every comedian, there's a great waiter. And I'm not an exception to that rule. I was waiting tables at that time in my life.

Yeah, actually, I knew a bunch of servers back in the day when I was doing it who had tendonitis in their wrist and problems like that from carrying those trays around. Oof, yeah.

I don't know if it didn't do anything and neither do the acupuncturists, which is pretty strange for a medical procedure. Have you ever met someone after having a broken bone set or LASIK surgery or disc replacement in their back that couldn't tell you if it actually did anything? Medicine is a science. It's based on being able to objectively tell if it's doing anything.

Yeah, that's what medicine should be, objective results. And look, while I'm on the subject, and again, nothing but love for acupuncturists since I've known a few and they are truly lovely people, but I looked up what is on the California certification exam.

And it's a bunch of stuff about the 12 primary meridians and their acupoints and then something about the eight extra meridians and divergent energy channels. And this is upsetting to me.
