A report published in the prestigious New Zealand Medical Journal has attacked acupuncture businesses for widespread abuse of rules around advertising claims.
Report author Daniel Ryan, who is a member of the Society for Science Based Healthcare, also said ACC should withdraw funding for acupuncture treatments because they don’t work and they are now costing taxpayers $33 million a year.
But Acupuncture New Zealand spokeswoman Kate Roberts said some claims in the report were “wildly inaccurate”. She said it was “absurd” that it had got through the editorial and peer review process and into the journal. In an emailed response, Ryan said: "Of course they would say there were mistakes. I’ve backed up all my statements and it passed peer review with flying colours. But if they see problems with my paper they can submit this to the journal.“
