Swine Flu H1N1 and Chinese Medicine
“CDC anticipates that there will be more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths associated with this new virus in the coming days and weeks because the population has little to no immunity against it.” At the same time, “it is expected that most people will recover without needing medical care.”
Physical Proof of Acupuncture Meridians?
There have been several studies illustrating the physical detectability of acupuncture points such as radioisotope tracing and low electrical impedance at the acupoints. There has been less scientific proof of the meridians that link the acupoints throughout the body. The “Use of Magnetic Nanoparticles to Visualize Threadlike Structures Inside Lymphatic Vessels of Rats” study brings to light a threadlike structure within lymphatic vessels that may be the first visualization of acupuncture meridians. Using fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles, the team was able to illustrate a new tissue previously undetected by simple stereomicroscopes (image A). The bottom image (B) is a line drawing to clarify the magnetic imagery.
