Brief Introduction about my works in the past 28 years in the UK Promoting Acupuncture and TCM Education. (e.g. Middlesex University). Promoting Acupuncture in NHS. (e.g. Royal Free, Whittington and North Middlesex hospitals since 2002) Research and Clinical Practice.
Introduction Is Acupuncture scientific? What are its scientific evidences for its theory and treatments? and how does it work scientifically? Is Acupuncture or TCM a plausible knowledge about the human body? Or is this just simply a belief or a dogma? Is Acupuncture theory reasonable?
Questioning the questions. Sometimes it is more important to know what to ask than what are the answers. Rational thinking or reasoning is the basis of all knowledge. Human being is a rational animal. We should reason Acupuncture and TCM.
Acupuncture, TCM and Reasoning What is Acupuncture? What is TCM? How does Acupuncture work? What are Qi and Meridians? Qi theory is the essence of TCM.

TCM Herbal Medicines China has 11118 species of medicinal plants (This figure includes 1208 subspecies, varieties and forms, and spans 385 families and 2313 genera.) Nearly 1600 zoological species 80 minerals used medicinally. Countless of herbal formula.
What is Qi? The concept of Qi is from ancient Chinese philosophy. Where is Qi from? What is Qi doing? Imitation of the universe and the human being.
Ancient Chinese Philosophy 0 is not nothing. 1 is Qi, the beginning of everything. 2 is Yin and Yang. 3 is the being or becomes a being.
Philosophic Views in Acupuncture and TCM Consist of or evolving. Still structure or changing and growing flux, stage of. The universe and human body: made from or change from. Atoms or Qi Mechanism or Organism. Precise or Holistic.
Science meets TCM Quantum physics. Matter and energy. Astrology. Origins of the universe, planets, animals and life. Dark matters and Dark energy, Yin Qi and Yang Qi.
Reasonability and challenges Acupuncture may not be entirely proved scientific yet, but it is reasonable. More rational debate is need. Real scientific judgement should not be biased. Science is a continuous process of falsifying itself. Many new challenges ahead.
