"...who am I to argue with thousands of years of Oriental wisdom?"
We all should. Just because it is ancient, does not mean it works. Acupuncture has no clinical benefit and these claims about anti-aging are ridiculous.
"...for optimum results a series of facials at weekly and then monthly intervals are recommended for real "ten years younger" results."
So you've got to keep going back and paying for another session? Now there's a surprise.

Acupuncture has only one benefit: it relieves pressure felt in the wallet region in credulous people whose money levels have exceeded their sense levels.

Surely any reputable journalist would do a little more research into this. (although all that she'd find is that acupuncture is total quackery). Her experience is an anecdote. As a newspaper you have an obligation to provide research, data and facts.
