It turns it completely upside down. It means our entire regulatory approach is inappropriate. As a medical and science journalist, I suspect we are dealing with an entirely new scientific model with these energy modalities than the one we are used to. The cutting edge of most medical research is quietly undergoing a paradigm shift that's so subtle, most researchers and clinicians are unaware of it, even as they incorporate it into their own practices. The heartbeat is electrical.
Brain waves are electrical.
Some crucial aspects of cell division itself are too. One could argue that not much happens in the human anatomy that isn't electromagnetic. The cutting edge of orthopedics, cardiology, oncology, neurology, sports medicine, - management, anesthesia, cellular biology, and bioelectromagnetics, to name but a few, are all now functioning within this new model without declaring it as such. Mainstream western medical practitioners offer acupuncture today without describing that therapy as an energy modality, but it is. Nor do most practitioners using acupuncture speculate on what the underlying anatomical mechanisms might be - they just use it because it works.
