Why did you delete the one source that weve been talking the most about Why do you want to hide the truth from readers The concepts of qi and meridians are very contentious because they dont exist from a reductionist disectionist Western medical science point of view   Do you want to know what meridians are Every type of tissue muscle fiber etc is wrapped up and enclosed in fascia Meridians are the spaces in between these fascia you are never going to find them by cutting bodies apart and looking at them in a microscope They are the nothingness that provides function as in verse  of the Tao Te Ching  Thirty spokes converge In the hub of a wheel But the use of the cart Will depend on the part On the hub that is void  With a wall all around A clay bowl is molded But the use of the bowl Will depend on the part Of the bowl that is void  Cut out windows and doors In the house as you build But the use of the house Will depend on the space In the walls that is void  So advantage is had From whatever is there But usefulness arises From what is not  These interfascial spaces have increased salt concentrations and thus increased electroconductivity properties and it is the manipulation of the bioelectrochemical energy ie qi in these spaces which acupuncture seeks to accomplish  Now yes this is original research on my behalf and cannot be included in the text But the SOURCE which is suggestive of such MUST be included in the text httponlinelibrarywileycomdoibemabstractjsessionidBBFDAADBADBDFdt
