As mentioned above, the conductance of organizing centers varies with morphogenesis. Similarly, the conductance of acupuncture points also varies and correlates with physical, emotional changes and pathogenesis. The fact that the change in electric field precedes morphologic change, and manipulation of the electric field can affect the change may shed light on medical diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Therefore, an abnormality inside the network may be detected by measuring the electrical parameters of some points on its surface. Malfunctions of some organs can be preceded by change of electric parameters from normal range and treated by manipulation of the interconnected singular points.
Singularity is a type of discontinuity, often indicates abrupt transition from one state to another.
Small perturbations around singular points can have decisive effects on a system. At these points, influence whose physical magnitude is too small to be taken account of by a finite being, may produce results of the greatest importance. As a technique of perturbation of singular points, acupuncture can be effective in treating various diseases such as common cold, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, myopia, diarrhea, constipation, gastric and duodenal ulcers, diabetes, emesis, enuresis, postmenopausal syndrome, obesity, stroke, hypertension and cardiac arrest. After activation, the system has a better chance to settle at a normal, more stable state. This may explain why there have been few negative side effects of these techniques when properly administered, and the therapeutic effect can be achieved by a variety of stimuli including electricity, needling, temperature variation, laser, and pressure.
