Her physician asked the woman to have an abscessed tooth taken care of before surgery. Immediately after the dental appointment, while lidocaine was present in her system, the woman had a Thermograpy x-ray that revealed a thin white line extending from her tooth, down her neck, through the tumor in her breast and on down into her stomach. In light of the discovery, her physicians decided not to operate. Four months later the tumor disappeared. That was the first time direct connection to disease following an acupuncture meridian was clinically observed and was an immeasurably important observation for western medicine.
Every tooth has a separate acupuncture meridian running though major organs in the body.
There is now evidence proving the anatomical existence of the acupuncture meridian system. In the book Vibrational Medicine, Dr. Richard Gerber reported on the following research. 99m was injected into the acupoints of patients, and the isotope's uptake was followed by gamma-camera imaging. Injections of the isotope into random points on the skin, and deliberate venous and lymphatic channel injections, were unable to demonstrate similar results, suggesting that the meridians are unique and separate morphological pathways. 25 Research into the nature of the classical acupuncture meridian system was carried out in the 1960s in Korea by a team of researchers led by Professor Kim Bong Han.
