A relative has tried acupuncture therapy for their kid, and says it works wonders! Never heard of it, you would have sworn it was crank magnetism when you read up on it; but they swear up and down about it for their kid, and I've personally witnessed the kid being introduced to food items that they were previously severely allergic to - with very minor and easy-to-mitigate issues.

This world makes little sense, but I guess I'm here for it!

Acupuncture is widely used across East Asia for multiple issues. If it didn't work, it would not be used. But it does work, for some people, for some issues.
