Programme 2 begins with a recording of member Nancy Holroyde-Downing giving Anna Ford an acupuncture treatment, complete with her descriptions of pulse diagnosis and needling. The treatment, which worked effectively Anna Ford's leg cramps, is followed by a balanced discussion of evidence and research.
