Acupuncture Is Grounded In Science, Not Myth And Magic

[Guest guest]

Dear John,

here one who, Felix Mann's epigone, who absolutely

doesn't admit the Acupuncture Meridian System

existence. He is a good man, I know him via email,

but surely has never thought to compare the two

anatomies each other.

Ciao,

" One of the major problems facing medical

acupuncture is the preconceived notions both the

public and healthcare professionals have of it, "

he said. " The perception is that acupuncture is

still all about chi and meridians. In the past it

was easy for doctors and scientists to dismiss

acupuncture as 'highly implausible' when its

workings were couched in talk of chi and

meridians. But it becomes very plausible when

explained in terms of neurophysiology.

Unfortunately, the scientific approach just isn't

as sexy, " he continues. " Many people, including

practitioners and the public, have held on to the

traditional explanations. Points don't have any

magical properties; they are simply convenient

locations to needle. "

 

Dr Adrian White, who is editor in chief of the

scientific journal Acupuncture in Medicine, was

speaking at the launch of the journal's transfer

to publication by BMJ Group after 27 years of

publication with the British Medical Acupuncture

Society (BMAS).

The way it is explained has nothing to do with its effects. The proof is in the

taste of the pudding.

Google " Bonghan Channels. "

The channels only correspond " approximately " to neurological systems.
