Report attacks acupuncturists for illegal treatment claimsAcupuncturists say a just published New Zealand Medical Journal report makes inaccurate claims about acupuncture not working. A report published in the prestigious New Zealand Medical Journal has attacked acupuncture businesses for widespread abuse of rules around advertising claims. But Acupuncture New Zealand spokeswoman Kate Roberts said some claims in the report were "wildly inaccurate". Ryan searched acupuncture business websites in New Zealand for illegal claims that acupuncture can treat or prevent serious conditions. He called for the two acupuncture professional bodies to revoke practising certificates from acupuncturists which made advertising claims that breached Section 58 of the Medicines Act.
