The Chinese' description of yin and yang is essentially the body's homeostasis, where an absolute minute change in toxicity, basicity/Acidicy, or any other imbalance causes the body to deviate from its normal state. There are hundreds, if not thousands of journal entries that justify Acupuncture and eastern medicine's ability to heal, and it doesn't really take a lot of common sense that of the trillions of chemical reactions per second, an imbalance can occurr very easily.

But I assume Western Medicine is probably the most correct, right? Drugs created by science couldn't possibly kill people, or keep them sick right? Your ignorance and lack of knowledge on this subject is quite apparent

there are no reliable studies that confirm acupuncture's claim to heal. Some research has shown that there is some success in pain relief, but this is entirely due to the placebo effect. Multiple studies have shown that fake acupuncture produces the same effect of pain relief as real acupuncture.

The National Council Against Health Fraud has concluded:

Acupuncture is an unproven modality of treatment.
Its theory and practice are based on primitive and fanciful concepts of health and disease that bear no relationship to present scientific knowledge
Research during the past 20 years has not demonstrated that acupuncture is effective against any disease.
Perceived effects of acupuncture are probably due to a combination of expectation, suggestion, counter-irritation, conditioning, and other psychologic mechanisms.
The use of acupuncture should be restricted to appropriate research settings,
Insurance companies should not be required by law to cover acupuncture treatment,
Licensure of lay acupuncturists should be phased out.
Consumers who wish to try acupuncture should discuss their situation with a knowledgeable physician who has no commercial interest [21].
