Welcome Jack,

Say, can you tell me if you see the population in China still
gathering for the practice
of Neigong where they tap together all over their bodies?

Do you have any personal experiences to share about using TCM
especially Qi Gong
or similar meridian treatments for you particular concerns?

Actually their is a growing body of research in the West looking at
the effects of
stimulaing the meridians and the effects on the nervous system.
Harvard Medical
School had identified some specific brain areas that are affected
from stimulation of
acupoints. Other interesting research is being conducted in the
Engineering
Departments of major universities like Stanford and Princeton on the
subtle energies
Eg, the effects of thought on physical materials.
