good question,

as I understand it, it's based  on the existence meridian lines 
that are undetectable by any process, 
and a philosphy of ying and yang that makes some very 
far fetched assertions.

To say "total" fantasy is an overstatement of course, but
my point is that if acupuncture is genuinely useful
it's because it has a quantifiable physical effect on the
body, not because it is magic.
