For those interested, Pro Han’s report is available on Archive.org (as of September 2023). I mean to skim through myself when I get chance.

Thanks, Paul! I fixed it with your link!

Not to suggest we know everything…
In Arthur Firstenberg’s book ‘The Invisible Rainbow’, he mentions research from the 1960s of North Korean physician Bong Ham Kim who published detailed photographs of “an entire network of tiny corpuscles, and threadlike structures that connect them that exist throughout the body in our skin, in our internal organs and nervous system, and in and around our blood vessels… The pathways of the superficial ducts in the skin matched the classical pathways of the accupuncture meridians… ‘On the Kyungrak System’ was published in Pyongyang in 1963.
The research involved special dyes in living subjects. They say the pathways are not visible after death. Others have conducted similar experiments in more recent years with similar results.

Interesting. I’ll take a look.

What I remember is the studies replicated a process wherein dye was injected first into a vein and subsequently into acupoints. The dye injected into acupoints instantly made visible the meridian system.

I remember thinking that the problem wasn’t that acupuncture and the meridian system are primitive. Rather, the equipment heretofore unable to locate it were.

First time i had acupuncture 13 years ago i came out the room sceptical..thinking oh well i gave it a try..can’t feel anything yet…so.i was walking with my cousin back to my car..then BOOM..oh man i need to sit down i told him….i suddenly felt like i was floating…like i hit cloud 9. I couldnt walk..i felt drunk n drowsy.. then when i got home i was spacey..so something definitely had happened.

I knew then that something was different and when I went back to the TCM practioner from Hong kong (he couldnt speak English) his translator told me it was my chi and the meridians opening up blockages. Wow and it worked he helped me cure my issues back then after herbal teas and further sessions.

Roll on a few years i damaged my back weightlifting. 7 months i was out and went to doctors who told me its sciatica and give up training for a while he said.

I Ignored him and i wondered about acupuncture and guess what…after 2 acupuncture sessions my back was back to normal and after that i trained it stronger then i ever had before.

Now ive started qigong to self heal as i heard its like overall acupuncture.

Something does exist..those acupuncture needles go into some other bodily systems that do things. Meridians or chakras.. whatever they are…they definitely from my personal experience 100% exist.

Absolutely. Qigong could transform the healthcare system as we know it. And that’s already happening, albeit slowly.

Combining the knowledge of the east and west together you can make a different approach to treat or more importantly prevent sickness.

If this knowledge and believe of the east&west approach is embraced in the West Qi Qong will play a big role transferring from an art into a recognized maintenance system for the human body. And there we have ‘the’ solution for our healthcare financial problems.
