2. Pioneers in the field of electrical studies into acupuncture Dr Robert O Becker Studied bio-electo-magnetism, verified that acupuncture meridians have less resistance than skin and that meridians may act as radio transmission lines. Dr.RienhardVoll discovered that certain places on the skin were more electrically conductive than other locations and they correspond to the Acupuncture Points and Meridians.

4. Some things I noticed

5. Needles act like dipole antennas

6. Antennas

7. How radio waves travel The “Ground wave” or "Surface wave” travels along the surface of the ground. Surface waves induce a voltage in the Earth. Skin is an excellent electrical conductor and meridians have already been proven as pathways of greater electrical conductivity.

8. RF Transmission lines • A TRANSMISSION LINE is a device designed to guide electrical energy from one point to another. • This purpose is to transfer the energy output of the transmitter to the antenna with the least possible power loss.How well this is done depends on the special physical and electrical characteristics (impedance and resistance) of the transmission line.

9. Antennas and RF transmission lines work best at resonance In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others. Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are known as the system's resonant frequencies, or resonance frequencies. At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large amplitude oscillations, because the system stores vibrational energy.

10. Frequencies used have ranged from 0 Hz to 61 GHz My calculations for needles ranged from 450Mhz for a 5 cun needle to 15GHz for 0.5 cun

11. What are the resonant frequencies of acupuncture meridians? • Frequencies used have ranged from 0 Hz to 61 GHz • My calculations for needles ranged from 450Mhz for a 5 cun needle to 15GHz for 0.5 cun • The Nei Jing States the Yin meridians have these resonant frequencies • SP 261.6 Hz • LU 293.7 HZ • LV 329.6 Hz • HT 392.0 Hz • KI 440.0 Hz • PC ?unknown? • Schumann resonance 7.8Hz • Harmonics 14,20, 26, 33, 39, 45 hz • Brain waves are • Beta 14-30 Hz • Alpha 9-13 Hz • Theta 4-8 Hz • Delta 1-3 Hz
