A Curious Oversight in Acupuncture Research
- 01Traditional neural and hormonal explanations are too slow to account for acupuncture's near-instantaneous effects
- 02Clinical observations indicate organ function can change within one second of acupoint stimulation
- 03Collagen in connective tissue acts as a semiconductor capable of extremely fast electrical signaling
- 04High calcium levels at acupoints support the theory of electrical conduction through the fascial network
The rapid speed of acupuncture's effects suggests that signals travel via electrical waves through connective tissue rather than nerves or blood.
Common phenomena central to acupuncture have been overlooked by previous hypotheses on how acupuncture works, with the result that the hypotheses are unable to account for acupuncture’s effects. This article describes the main features overlooked and suggests how these might be investigated in future acupuncture research.

What is Fascia It might be a simple question, but it literally takes hours to answer it. Fascia is the connective tissue that encapsulates everything in the body, from muscles and…

Recent years of research show that Fascia has a much greater significance for health, aches, and pain than we previously thought. Fascia is a network of connective tissue, without…
