For over 2,000 years acupuncture,
which was developed in ancient China, has been practiced. Now it is possible that
a variation of this ancient technique could be the future of personalized medicine.
Acupuncture uses small pins to pierce the skin at various nerve points. These
nerve points are connected to the autonomic nervous system, and when
stimulated, autonomic reflexes are triggered which can have therapeutic benefits.
Historically, the Chinese believed that people had a life energy, or Qi, which
was the basis of all life. While this may sound like unscientific hocus-pocus,
today we recognize this Qi as being measureable and quantifiable
electromagnetic fields. While the ancient Chinese were concerned with
establishing an uninhibited flow of Qi, today the focus is on restoring and
maintaining properly aligned electromagnetic fields. This is the foundation of
