Meridian Health: The Scientific EvidenceDo you know the body's meridian health is directly related to your health and that it can now be measured?For a long time Western Medicine shunned Chinese Medicine, placing it in the same category as witchcraft because the existence of the energy meridians was not scientifically explained. All this changed in the 1950's when several teams of scientists found the Chinese acupuncture points have clearly differing electric properties to the skin just millimetres away. This was the first time scientific recordable proof was established for acupuncture points. In 1960 and 1970 several teams of scientists established the electric resistance of these acupuncture points is directly related to people's health and the Electro-puncture Therapy and Electro-puncture Diagnostic were developed. Meridian Health: Acupuncture Monitors Health of Cosmonauts in SpaceIn the 1980's the Russian Space Agency was pushing the length of time of cosmonauts in space to new limits. Cosmonaut health is of paramount importance because of the high level of performance required. For example, two months in space without therapeutic intervention lead to a 50% loss of eyesight and hearing. A team of scientists were assigned to find a system to monitor the health of cosmonauts. After many unsuccessful attempts, acupuncture was investigated. An extensive clinical research program under the leadership of Dr Sakriadski measured the electro dermal values of more than 22,000 patients and a control group of 1,500 healthy people. The extensive database was then used to develop an early diagnosis and intervention system called Prognos, which was officially tested in space by the cosmonauts Wolkow and Atkow on 24th July 1984. In 1990 Prognos was introduced to Germany and was soon used by hundreds of doctors throughout Europe. This technology has been greatly improved and today it is used as a diagnostic tool to assess and monitor energy levels within the body. |
Because of the unnatural environment in space (lack of gravity and high radiation), the deterioration and degeneration of the human body is greatly accelerated.
