Author Description

Dr. Shui Yin Lo provides a long-awaited and important bridge between Western science and Chinese medicine. He brings together massive scientific evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture and meridian theory, from current studies done in Japan, the US, China, the UK, Sweden and Germany, and puts it into a quantum physics framework. The result is a unified molecular biological and quantum physical view.This book sheds new light on the interconnectedess of body, mind and spirit. Meridians are seen to be the most primitive and at the same time the most fundamental system of the human being, governing all other systems.It is proposed that meridians are made up of a polarized media, which is likely to be water clusters. These water clusters align to form an electric field throughout the network of meridians. When the water clusters fall out of alignment, qi is blocked, and the body is in pain or becomes sick. Acupuncture, moxibustion and qigong can align the water clusters. Once they are aligned, qi flows and the body heals. Through conscious interaction with the meridian system, as in the practice of qigong, one can attain higher levels of energy and vibrant health.
