:: brown text means unrevised translation or incomplete work ::
NB: the author uses the words "channel", "meridian" and "vessel" as synonyms to define the system of lines, tubes or slices transporting the undemonstrated energy called Qi (pronounce "tchi") to all parts of the body. Anyway he considers "meridian" more suitable for scientific speech and literature, also because it is already employed in other fields of knowledge as in geography and morphogenesis.

Why amongst the back-shu points is listed
Dushu, referring to Governor Vessel, even though TCM does not
connect it to a specific organ? Is there a plausible explanation for
why it finds just between Xinshu (Heart point) and Geshu (Diaphragm
point) and not elsewhere? If it is an organ, which would it be? Is there in the body a
Governor organ? According to my observation the answer is yes, there is!

Ask Dr. Marcelli
stefanomarcelli@tiscali.it a question about
particular features of the Acupuncture Meridian System that are not
listed here, so that he can try to give an answer according to the comparative approach,
and by the means of scientific method.
Or - much better - you are
invited to communicate your own answered questions, which will be
published and credited in this site and in possible scientific
papers.
Science means sharing and progress of knowledge. Before I applied the
scientific method to acupuncture research, there were no new acquisitions in
the knowledge about the Acupuncture Meridian System since thousands
years, so it was officially dead and generated
comprehensible rejection by rational minds, differently from TCM
herbology, which has already incorporated plenty of new acquisitions from
modern chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology.
