Windows of the Sky Points

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Will Morris [PulseDiagnosis List] alerted us to John McDonald's

" Curtains for the Windows of the Sky " , a refutation of widely held belief

in great spiritual action of " Windows of the Sky Points " . Thanks, Will!

 

McDonald's conclusion is: " The APPEAL of a group of acupuncture

points with deep spiritual and psychological significance is beyond

dispute, and a widespread willingness to believe in such points on the

basis of the slenderest of evidence has already been demonstrated.

However this legitimate fascination with emotional, psychological and

spiritual issues need not cause the acupuncture profession to innovate

without any foundation. Designing the Emperor's new clothes has

become a veritable fashion industry. One of the great values of

acupuncture is the tremendous treasure of historical literature which is

available to us all. When we access this literature, examine the

evidence and apply the usual tests of academic rigour, the conclusion is

inescapable - the Emperor has no clothes! "
