Q&A: On Meridians and an Association with Galileo Galilei
On Meridians and an Association with Galileo Galilei
Question
Hi Michi,
This evening I decided to send you an article [in Hebrew] about research done in South Korea in which they supposedly managed to prove the existence of meridians, and of the body’s energy channels, using clear scientific methods.
But before I copied that article, I said to myself that it would be proper to check the material thoroughly.
So I googled the primo vascular system [that’s what those energy channels are called in the Korean study] and found an article by a physician [ret.] in the U.S. Air Force that tears the Korean article apart and shows that it isn’t serious [to put it mildly…].
In short, I patted myself on the shoulder for not falling into that trap.
But don’t get me wrong—like old Galileo, I still stick to my belief that Chinese acupuncture and the like do help. Placebo, or whatever it may be—it helps.
All the best

One who acknowledges and abandons will be shown mercy. 🙂
