Chapter 79 The Existence of Meridians
After hearing Ye Zhen's words, almost everyone in front of the TV understood what Ye Zhen was talking about.
Because traditional Chinese medicine is closely related to everyone’s lives.
But the biggest problem now is.
Some people in the country are desperately trying to blackmail Chinese medicine practitioners and want to directly delete them.
I just want Western medicine and stuff like that.
But the situation abroad is that some foreigners are gradually understanding the magic of traditional Chinese medicine.
And it gradually began to be promoted.
In particular, some countries have applied for patents for some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.
It is shameless.
It is the existence of such a treasure, but we ourselves have to reject it.
The reason is simply that in modern science, the existence of so-called meridians cannot be found.
There is no way to prove the role of various acupuncture points.
So they think that Chinese medicine is a philosophy and an idea, and it is not a real medicine at all.
"Today I can definitely tell everyone that meridians are real."
“And it’s about each of us, about the Akashic Records.”
Ye Zhen looked serious and serious.
But part of the audience in front of the TV was saying that.
"Chinese medicine? It's just a lie."
"No, no, no, do people really believe in Chinese medicine? It's not as good as Western medicine!"
"Don't you dare to abandon medical treatment and test medicine? It's all unscientific."
There are still many people who do not believe in the existence of traditional Chinese medicine.
There are also some other people who say so.
Traditional Chinese medicine is empirical and does not require modern science to prove it.
I want to use mystical aspects to explain Chinese medicine.
But in Ye Zhen's eyes, none of these are important.
It doesn't matter at all, because Ye Zhen understands that the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine is meridians and qi.
As long as you understand these two things, everything will be solved.
“Meridians are the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine, and acupuncture is the use of this foundation.”
"The main contents of the meridians are: twelve meridians, twelve different meridians, eight extra meridians, fifteen collaterals, twelve tendons, twelve skin parts, etc."
"You have probably seen it a lot in martial arts or various novels."
"What about the eight strange meridians, the two meridians of Ren and Du, etc."
"The second is what everyone often talks about, acupuncture, which is actually two techniques."
"One is acupuncture, which uses needles to prick a certain area, and the other is moxibustion, which uses mugwort to burn the area you just pricked with acupuncture."
However, meridians have always been considered to be mysterious and mysterious things.
Under modern medical anatomy, such a set of organs has not been found in the human body.
But in reality?Meridians and acupuncture points are real.
"Everyone, look at this paper." Ye Zhen directly projected a paper on the screen behind him.
"This is a paper published now in Nature."
"Didn't you say you want to use scientific methods to verify it? This is it."
"Neuroanatomical basis of acupuncture-driven vagus nerve-adrenal anti-inflammatory pathway" is the title of the paper.
The author is Dr. Ma.
"You may be a little confused after hearing the title of this paper."
"But this Dr. Ma used modern science to prove that acupuncture is useful."
"Here I want to share with you a piece of trivia: meridians are not unique to humans."
“Animals also have meridians, and even plants also have meridians.”
Ye Zhen's words opened a new door for everyone.
Do animals also have meridians?Plants too?How can this be!
But this is a paper published in the world's top scientific research magazine, and most people won't understand it even if you show it to them.
"Dr. Ma's team used mice to conduct experiments."
"His paper demonstrated that acupuncture of specific reflex areas can lead to specific changes in mice."
"However, this specific change cannot be clarified based on modern neuroanatomy."
"What do you mean in human terms?"
"It is true that pricking the acupuncture points of mice with needles has an effect, but this effect cannot be proven by modern science."
"There is no theoretical basis to support it."
"Because this belongs to us Chinese medicine! This needs to be explained based on the meridians."
The two sites selected in the paper are ST36 (such as Zusanli) and ST25 (such as Tianshu).
"The experimental result is that after stimulating the ST36 point in mice, the vagus nerve-adrenal anti-inflammatory pathway is activated."
"It was found that the mice's bodies started to fight inflammation."
Anyone with a little knowledge of Zusanli knows this acupoint.
This is an important acupuncture point in the human body, and it is also the most commonly used acupoint during massage and acupuncture.
It seemed like this experiment was trivial, like it was nothing.
But people with a discerning eye understand that this is done using modern scientific methods.
It is scientifically proven that a certain position on the body of a living thing.
After stimulation, some magical effects can be achieved.
Isn't this just acupuncture?And this foundation comes from meridians.
What the ancients have known for a long time is still in the exploratory stage of modern science.
""Lingshu" records: If the evil is in the spleen and stomach, it will cause muscle pain. If there is excess Yang Qi and insufficient Yin Qi, it will cause hunger due to heat." "Insufficient Yang Qi and excess Yin Qi will cause bowel borborygmus and abdominal pain during cold."
"If there is an excess of both Yin and Yang, if both are insufficient, then there will be cold and heat, all adjusted to Zusanli." Ye Zhen silently said an ancient poem.
"This is the theoretical basis for the function of Zusanli acupoint."
"It's just the paper written by Dr. Ma in modern scientific terms."
Many people wonder, how did the acupuncture points of this little white mouse and this animal be found?
In fact, as early as the last century, that is when Qigong was very popular.
The whole country is obsessed with this extraordinary power.
Qi has appeared countless times in ancient books.
It was just rediscovered and named Qigong in the last century.
And what is the source and basis of this energy!Meridians! So in the 70s, everyone wanted to find the location of the meridians.
And one of the most famous things at that time was the visit of US President Richard Nixon to us.
Then our country showed Nixon the magic of acupuncture and anesthesia.
This ghost guy was scared to death.
After all, Chinese medicine is a treasure of our civilization, so of course we want to show it off to outsiders.
But Nixon asked a question that knocked everyone present down.
"What is the scientific basis for this theory? Where are the meridians you are talking about?"
But none of the entourage present said anything.
This became a shame, so Daifa was later asked to fund it.
It is important to understand what these meridians are and where they exist in the human body.
This has to mention Zhu Laolao. He used sound and electricity to prove that the human body has a system other than blood vessels and lymph.
And it is a transportation system throughout the body, these are meridians!
Why can acoustic electricity be used to detect the location of meridians.
Because the surface of the meridians and meridian points is different from the surrounding surface tissue, they exhibit low impedance characteristics and nonlinear low breakdown threshold characteristics.
Therefore, the potential of the location of the meridian is different from that of the ordinary location.
And it has been tried on both dead and living people.
It was found that there was no difference between life and death, and the positions of the meridians on the body had not changed.
It shows that this is not the function of human body bioelectricity! And the funniest thing is that Zhu Lao initially didn’t believe in the existence of meridians.
He is the one who wants to falsify the meridians, because Mr. Zhu is against traditional Chinese medicine.
Just like some current Chinese medicine practitioners.
At that time, several groups wanted to find the existence of meridians.
The others are all Chinese medicine groups, with various famous doctors in them.
Zhu Lao's group is a control group who don't believe in meridians.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Laoyue was sweating profusely at the end when he verified that the meridians were real!
Instead, he himself proved the objective existence of meridians.
And when tested on humans.
It was found that some parts of the body were particularly sensitive to acupuncture, and the effect was particularly significant.
Explain that there are differences between people.
Maybe this is why some masters in the novel take on disciples.
I like to say that your bones are amazing.
What I should say is talent, because of his special physique.
So it can be practiced more quickly? Ye Zhen showed everyone all the papers and explained them from the side.
"This is just one of them. There is another paper."
"In the last century, scientists have used acoustic and electrical methods to reveal the existence of meridians."
"After the 21st century, our science is also developing."
"So we can see the meridians." Then Ye Zhen released another paper in "Nature".
"In this paper, you can clearly see the schematic diagram of meridians."
I only saw a few experimental pictures on the screen.
In a dim environment, a bright light appears on the human hand.
And this fluorescent light spreads along a special path on the hand.
This is the first time for the audience to see such realistic photos.
"Isn't this a meridian diagram?"
“The place that shines is where the meridians are!”
“Has it turned out that the location of the meridians has been discovered a long time ago???”
"Is this a fluorescent labeling method? It's amazing, it's exactly the same as the meridians."
Everyone was shocked by these photos.
Because this is not a place like blood vessels or lymph, what appears is entirely the location of the meridians in ancient books!
This is the first time humans have used this method to visualize meridians.
But this is only for ordinary people.
Meridians can only be seen using scientific methods.
So the ancients didn't have any fluorescent labeling method, how did they see it?
That's right, it's inner vision.
However, during the experiment, some people's meridians did not appear, or even moved only a little.
This is what I just mentioned. Everyone’s meridians and physical conditions are different.
You are healthy and your meridians are certainly smooth.
As the saying goes, if there is pain, there will be no pain; if there is pain, there will be no pain. This makes sense.
Thanks to blank_light for the tip!
