I’d heard that acupuncture meridians appeared to follow circulatory path of stem cells . Looks like it here .. Wowsa 🤩

A groundbreaking discovery from Taiwan is bridging traditional medicine and modern science. Researchers at China Medical University have shown that acupuncture doesn’t just relieve pain—it can trigger stem cells to repair damaged organs naturally. Electroacupuncture at specific points, like ST36 (Zusanli) and GV20 (Baihui), stimulates the bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into the bloodstream. These stem cells then travel to injured tissues, differentiate into organ-specific cells, and release healing factors.
Within 24 hours, stem cell levels in circulation increased by 300%, providing a measurable biological explanation for acupuncture’s therapeutic effects—beyond placebo. Stroke patients treated with electroacupuncture within 48 hours recovered 40% better than those with standard care. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers, while heart attack survivors experienced improved cardiac function.
This discovery is rewriting how Western medicine views acupuncture. For thousands of years, it was considered purely traditional, yet science now shows a sophisticated, measurable mechanism for healing. Ancient practices are finally being validated through modern imaging and cellular tracking, revealing that needle stimulation can activate the body’s own repair systems.
The message is clear: acupuncture is more than sensation—it’s a biological trigger for regeneration, showing how centuries-old practices can integrate with cutting-edge science.

It’s been suggested that the meridians of acupuncture run along the same lines that stem cells do 🤓 Food for Thought 🤔& this study seems to have the same train of thought…

Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture's therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.

Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization—providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture's effects.

Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain—where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It's like acupuncture triggers the body's internal repair dispatch system.

Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological—traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We're discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

New Research: Just 28 Days Without Parabens & Phthalates Reverses Cancer-Linked Breast Changes

A groundbreaking study published in Chemosphere has revealed that avoiding parabens and phthalates — common preservatives and fragrance enhancers in cosmetics and personal care products — for just 28 days can reverse cancer-associated changes in breast tissue.

Researchers analyzed breast tissue samples before and after a month-long avoidance period and found significant reversals in cellular pathways linked to cancer development, including:

• PI3K-AKT/mTOR signaling (cell growth & survival)

• Autophagy (cell recycling & stress response)

• Apoptotic signaling (cell death regulation)

These pathways are known to play key roles in tumor growth and progression.

Parabens and phthalates act as xenoestrogens, synthetic compounds that mimic estrogen. Since estrogen is closely tied to breast cancer risk, reducing exposure may help lower cancer-related cellular changes.

This research underscores the importance of choosing endocrine disruptor-free products and suggests that even short-term lifestyle changes can have measurable molecular impacts on breast health.

It’s so sad that GP’s who do a short course on Acupuncture can get rebates from Medicare for providing Acupuncture services & fully qualified Bachelor Of Health Science In Chinese medicine graduates & Practitioners that are registered with AHPRA (with a Sh**Load more experience & education in such matters) can’t even get on GP Health Plans! I mean Whaaa ??
Please support. Thank you

 Acupuncturists and Chinese Medicine practitioners are the only AHPRA registered Allied Health Professionals not included into the chronic disease management plan CDM under the MBS (Medicare Benefits Schedule) and Department Veteran Affairs DVA , despite their vital role in the health and wellb...
