The Stomach’s Communication with Its Related Acupoints, and the “Intelligent Tissue” Hypothesis, 2019
Fletcher KovichThis study explores the "intelligent tissue hypothesis," which proposes that an organ's internal state is reflected in real-time at specific acupuncture points. By monitoring electrical impedance at stomach-related poin…

The Lungs’ Real-time States are Reflected in the Tissue at its Related Acupuncture Points, 2019
Fletcher KovichThis study investigates how lung activity is reflected in the tissue at specific acupuncture points by measuring electrical impedance. Researchers observed that different breathing patterns, such as deep or rapid breath…

What is the Intelligent Tissue !eory and How Does it Relate to Acupuncture?, 2020
Fletcher KovichIn this article, Fletcher Kovich presents the "Intelligent Tissue Theory," suggesting that bodily tissues interpret real-time electromagnetic information from organs. According to this theory, meridians are not dedicate…

What is the Intelligent Tissue !eory and How Does it Relate to Acupuncture?
Fletcher KovichThis article introduces the "intelligent tissue theory," which proposes that organ information is transmitted via electromagnetic waves and interpreted by bodily tissues at specific meridians. The author suggests that t…

The Stomach’s Communication with Its Related Acupoints, and the “Intelligent Tissue” Hypothesis
Fletcher KovichThis study explores the "intelligent tissue" hypothesis, which suggests that an organ's functional state is reflected in real-time at specific acupuncture points. By monitoring electrical impedance at six stomach-relate…

The Lungs’ Real-time States are Reflected in the Tissue at its Related Acupuncture Points
Fletcher KovichThis study explores the hypothesis that real-time organ states are reflected in the tissue at specific acupuncture points. By monitoring electrical impedance at lung-related points, the researcher observed changes based…

Fascial neuromodulation: an emerging concept linking acupuncture, fasciology, osteopathy and neuroscience
Gianluca BiancoThis conceptual paper presents a model called "fascial neuromodulation" to explain how therapies like acupuncture might work. The author suggests that mechanical signals through the fascial network can influence the ner…

Fascial neuromodulation: an emerging concept linking acupuncture, fasciology, osteopathy and neuroscience
Gianluca BiancoThis conceptual paper proposes a model called "fascial neuromodulation" to explain how therapies like acupuncture may work. The author suggests that the traditional concept of balancing the body's energy corresponds to…

The Impedance Profile of Acupuncture Points
Fletcher KovichThis study investigated real-time electrical impedance (resistance) at acupuncture points in a single subject. The researcher observed that when impedance decreased at the center of a point, it often increased at a loca…

What Is the Point? The Problem with Acupuncture Research That No One Wants to Talk About
Helene M Langevin, Peter M WayneIn this 2018 commentary, the authors address a persistent criticism of acupuncture research: the unclear scientific basis for "acupuncture points." They argue that the acupuncture research community has not paid enough…

123, 124, 125. Fascia Research Database – research available to all
Fascia Research Database – research available to all Research on Fascia has absolutely exploded in recent years. At the same time, surprisingly few seem to be aware of how much high-quality research…

95. Fascia, acupuncture & traditional Chinese medicine
Does Fascia research explain how acupuncture works? For several thousand years, traditional Chinese medicine has used the meridian system that we in the West perhaps most associate with acupuncture.…
