Passage 1 [originaltext] I hereby announce that the U. S. National Institute

I hereby announce that the U. S. National Institute of Health has endorsed acupuncture for treating certain types of sickness or ill condition. These include the nausea, the sort of sickness that a patient suffers when treated with chemotherapy, or the vomiting or nausea that accompanies pregnancy, or post-operative dental pain. We have come to the very clear-cut sort of decision that treatment under these circumstances really works, especially with the effects of stroke, the acupuncture treatment is very successful.
    Besides, 40% of the drug courts in the United States will use acupuncture as an important supplement to their usual therapy. Studies show that one of the key benefits of acupuncture that seems to be emerging from various studies is that it has few, if any, side effects; and that when used with standard drug treatment—in anesthesia, for example—it allows physicians to cut back on medication, delivering the same level of benefit with fewer negative effects.
