Stephen Cowan is a aggressively self-promoting doctor, who claims on his website that he can treat both autism and ADHD with acupuncture and other forms of ChineseMedicine.
Acupuncture and moxibustion are forms of traditional Chinesemedicine widely practised in China and also found in regions of south-east Asia, Europe and the Americas.
The first Chinese WRITTEN text on medicine dates to approximately 200 BCE but we know that the practice of acupuncture goes much farther back than that, potentially from 3-5, 000 BCE.
