:: 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 (BL-), 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 could it be? Is there in the body a
"Governor organ"? According to comparative approach the answer is yes, there is!

stomach and gall bladder meridians that are of yang nature run down the

Why in arms and hands the acupuncture meridians are arranged in such
ordered, always parallel paths, with the three yin and three yang
that cover the ventral and dorsal aspect, never touching each other?
On the contrary, on the medial side of legs and foots the kidney
meridian (as seen above) draws a loop and then the three yin
meridian

Why Traditional Chinese Medicine privileged
pericardium rather than pleura or peritoneum and assigned the
rank of main organ and meridian to it? What is the veritable organ/function
- unknown to modern medicine - that the ancient Chinese wanted to point out by
giving it the name "pericardium"?

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.
