Acupuncture, Coherent Energy and Liquid Crystalline

Meridians

*******************************************************

 

 

Dr. Mae-Wan Ho presents an update on how her theory of the

organism provides a novel explanation for acupuncture and

other forms of subtle energy medicines.

 

" There can be no real progress in conventional healthcare

unless this theory is taken seriously, " says Dr. Mae-Wan Ho

 

Abstract

 

The meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine

recognizes a vital energy, qi , circulating in nature and in

our body. Within the body, qi is said to circulate through

channels known as meridians, which interconnect the viscera

and limbs and the deeper and superficial layers of the body

in a branching network of increasingly fine mesh. The

meridians and their acupuncture points have no known

relationship with anatomical systems in western medicine,

despite many attempts to search for correlations.

 

I show how traditional Chinese medical concepts, from the

most general to the more specific, can be translated into

contemporary Western science in a new physics of organisms.

 

The vital energy, qi , of traditional Chinese medicine

corresponds to coherent energy in living organisms, which is

stored everywhere over the entire range of space-times.

Consequently any subtle influence arising anywhere will

propagate throughout the system and become amplified into

global effects. In other words, the system, by virtue of

being full of coherent energy, will be ultra-sensitive to

very weak signals; and this may be the basis of all forms of

subtle energy medicine including acupuncture.

 

The living matrix is predisposed for the instantaneous,

noiseless intercommunication that enables the organism to

function as a perfectly coordinated whole because it is

liquid crystalline, as we discovered in my laboratory in

1992. This liquid crystalline matrix, containing 70% by

weight of water, permeates throughout the connective tissues

and into the interior of every single cell. The water

molecules are aligned in ordered layers along the extensive

surfaces of macromolecules and are an integral part of the

liquid crystalline continuum. It makes the living matrix

highly responsive to changes in pressure, temperature, pH,

and electrical polarization. The ordered layers of water in

the matrix also support a special kind of `jump conduction'

of protons (positive electric charge) that is much faster

than nerve conduction and faster than ordinary electrical

conduction through wires.

 

Ho and Knight [1] first proposed that the dynamically

ordered layers of water molecules associated with the

oriented collagen fibres in the connective tissues

correspond to the acupuncture meridians, while acupuncture

points correspond to gaps or junctions between the meridians

(collagen fibres or connective tissue bundles). This

hypothesis has received further collaboration from recent

scientific findings, and new tests of the hypothesis are

proposed.
