My coworker was distressed today because she has a painfull bruise because of here acupunture session...

She is smart, but might be mad enough to listen to reason here...

Does anyone have any good reference materials i can point her (unwillingly) to?

I just read a 'Dog Fancy' at my vet yesterday and it had the line "many people believe accupuncture to be effective" (in an article about pet acupuncture) and all I could think was "are those people scientists, or acupuncturists?"
