I could say the same about my microwave. I certainly can't see (with my eyes) how it, or any other energy works.

Here's an acupuncture anecdote for you. The very first time I had acupuncture done (I've only had it a few times), I had broken my toe a few days before. My foot was very black and blue over a huge area. Obviously, they can't fix a broken toe, but they put a few needles in the bruised area for a while to get the circulation going. The next morning I woke up and there wasn't a trace of a bruise on my foot. Even I, was amazed.
