The study shows nothing of the sort. This nonsense on the front page of SCMP print edition. There was no control group. Insane. And useless. "Results" with no control group are not results. This is nonsense.
As all the commenters note.
Embarrassing!
Misinformation!
Imagine. A “doctor” talks of “rebalancing” the “Qi”. Oh, dear, oh dear.. Good for woo-woo. Not for real Science. This is the sort of nonsense taught at “quackademia”. The only reason our paper of record puts it on the front page is because Dear Leader Xi Jinping is pushing it. And why he’s pushing it I don’t know. Except perhaps pandering to the rather large number who actually believe it. But large numbers believing doesn’t make it true. We used to believe the world was flat.
