Revealing the Mysteries of 5,000 Years of Chinese Acupuncture Meridians

New meridian knowledge can improve Chinese acupuncture as three acupuncture meridians are shown to differ from their 5,000 year history - with major implications for increasing longevity and treating modern allergies, AIDS, breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes & obesity

(PRWEB) Seattle, Washington, March 3, 2004 -- In a groundbreaking article to be published in Qi: The Journal of Traditional Eastern Health and Fitness (Spring, Mid-March, 2004), Guan-Cheng Sun, PhD, Executive Director of the Institute of Qigong & Internal Alternative Medicine (IQ&IAM), a scientist and molecular geneticist, reveals how ancient Chinese health practitioners first identified the mysterious acupuncture meridians. For 5,000 years, only a single clue has surfaced, suggesting these pathways that feed the internal organs with nourishing life energy or qi" can be directly seen with internal vision." Until now, no methodology has explained how to develop this prized ability.

Dr. Sun describes how this intrinsic human ability of direct sensory perception can be awakened through the practice of Qigong, or life energy activation."

Dr. Sun further describes how, absent this direct perception, traditional acupuncture schools have misidentified three main acupuncture meridians for millennium. With the benefit of internal vision, he demonstrates that the triple burner meridian is actually the reproductive meridian, the pericardium meridian is actually the lymphatic meridian and the spleen meridian is actually the pancreas meridian.

This more accurate understanding holds great promise for increasing longevity and for treating modern allergies, AIDS, breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes and obesity. For example, ancient traditions of Qigong practices suggest that the aging process itself may be directly related to the vitality of the reproductive system. Modern science shows the female hormone estrogen levels tend to decrease in women and increase in men with aging. Studies indicate that this trend can be reversed by Qigong exercise.

Growing up in a family with an ancient lineage of intact qigong knowledge, Dr. Sun has studied Qigong since age nine. He further developed this dynamic developing human" qigong to give people unique energetic tools for self-healing & greater awareness to become better functioning people. As a scientist and Qigong expert, Dr. Sun believes these ancient practices and western scientific understandings have much to say to each other, and hold valuable health keys for humanity.

IQ&IAM, a 501 C (3) non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington, provides Qigong education and creates a community to support individuals in developing their personal awareness and fulfilling their inherent potential, thereby enriching their lives.
