“…Nevertheless, Qi is observable with a video camera although a conversion into its frequency spectrum is necessary to make the evidence accessible on sight. Second, the details of the meridian network within the limit of the study conform to the sketches given by the standard texts in Chinese medicine (10,11) and that of Huang Di Nei Jing Ling Shu (2). Thirdly, since acupuncture is pure science, its future employment could be quantified, particularly related to its clinical effectiveness.…”

“…T his article presents clinical evidence of Qi and Meridian, two mystical unknowns that are described extensively in the ancient Chinese Medicine literature and accepted by all Chinese medicine practitioners but have never been observed or measured. The best description of Qi and meridian is given in Huang Di Nei Jing (2nd Century BC) of which Unschuld has given us two superb translations in Su Wen & Ling Shu (1,2). Many scientists, both Chinese and non-Chinese, question the scientific principles given in these ancient medical texts (3).…”

Acupuncture is widely deployed today, but its basic physiology with Qi and meridian is not understood. This letter postulates that Qi is an infrasound wave packet and meridian is the muscle waveguide. Using video cameras and signal processing in an IRB approved clinical experiment we performed a comparison between control and electroactivated statistical tests on the long range (50-80cm) unidirectional transmission of Qi (p = 0.025). In the reverse direction, there is no transmission even in a distance of less than 10 cm (p = 0.545). The rectification is a surprise but in full agreement with Huang Di Nei Jing.

ZusammenfassungDie Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin ist heutzutage sowohl in China als auch in der westlichen Welt ein vielbeachtetes Heilsystem. Die Geschichte der chinesischen Medizin ist eine tausendjährige Ansammlung von therapeutisch relevanten Theorien und Praktiken unterschiedlichster Art. Diese Empfehlungen sind bis heute in einer überaus reichhaltigen Literatur nachzulesen. In Europa befinden wir uns jedoch noch in der Aufarbeitung der chinesischen Medizingeschichte. Aus dem überaus reichhaltigen historischen Erbe chinesischer Medizin müssen diejenigen Anteile herausgefiltert werden, die auch zukünftig noch einen Nutzen entfalten können. Dazu dient auch die „Sammlung Unschuld“ in der Berliner Staatsbibliothek.

“…It comprised of two volumes: The first one is Su Wen (Basic Questions), which covers the diagnostic methods and theoretical foundation of TCM [ 126 ]. The second part is called Ling Shu (The Spiritual Pivot) and explains acupuncture therapy such as the description of meridians, functions of the acupuncture points, needling techniques, types of Qi and the location of 160 points [ 127 ]. Two other classic texts which mention acupuncture in depth are Nan Jing (The Classic of Difficult Issues) [ 128 ] and Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing (The Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion).…”

“…Here, the imperial physician Qi Bo explains the fundamental structures of the human organism to the emperor Huang Di. The physician says: “After someone has died his body can be anatomically dissected and be examined (for medical investigation)” [ 127 ]. As another source of evidence to prove that acupuncture points are anatomically correct, the chapter 42 of Nanjing describes the length, diameter, weight and capacity of the internal organs [ 120 ].…”

Acupuncture and Neural Mechanism in the Management of Low Back Pain—An Update

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Within the last 10 years, the percentage of low back pain (LBP) prevalence increased by 18%. The management and high cost of LBP put a tremendous burden on the healthcare system. Many risk factors have been identified, such as lifestyle, trauma, degeneration, postural impairment, and occupational related factors; however, as high as 95% of the cases of LBP are non-specific. Currently, LBP is treated pharmacologically. Approximately 25 to 30% of the patients develop serious side effects, such as drowsiness and drug addiction. Spinal surgery often does not result in a massive improvement of pain relief. Therefore, complementary approaches are being integrated into the rehabilitation programs. These include chiropractic therapy, physiotherapy, massage, exercise, herbal medicine and acupuncture. Acupuncture for LBP is one of the most commonly used non-pharmacological pain-relieving techniques. This is due to its low adverse effects and cost-effectiveness. Currently, many randomized controlled trials and clinical research studies have produced promising results. In this article, the causes and incidence of LBP on global health care are reviewed. The importance of treatment by acupuncture is considered. The efforts to reveal the link between acupuncture points and anatomical features and the neurological mechanisms that lead to acupuncture-induced analgesic effect are reviewed.
