Modern science has finally caught up and found the Interstitium!

I've been saying for decades that acupuncture's meridian system works through a structure we don't have the technology to see yet ... and now we can! The interstitium is a pathway between layers of the body.

We knew that acupuncture points are more oxygenated than non-points.

We knew that electricity travels along meridians.

Now they're calling that system the interstitium!

This article (by Avraham Z. Cooper, an associate professor of medicine at Ohio State University) in the New York Times has a strange format - they turned it into a dynamic graphic - but just keep scrolling down to get to the good stuff.

I'm so excited - hopefully this will help previously skeptical people get the care that will help them, without drug interactions or side-effects!
