How do I know I'm a living system? I am actively engaged in the process of becoming myself, all the time. I have to eat, drink water and sleep to maintain my body, I have thoughts about who/what I am in the context of the world I live in. I am constantly maintaining a balance in order to be me. Like the definition of 'autopoiesis' from our packet explains, I am both producer and product, ceaselessly.
Biophysics and Oriental Medicine can have a lot in common. Acupuncture is the revitalization of living energies, currents, through the body. Biophysics studies these living energies. I appreciated the article that we read on acupuncture and neuromuscular stimulation working together to produce even greater healing results than acupuncture alone in patients with hemiplasia (paralysis on half of the body). This is an example of the healing potential of energy. It is funny that they did not do a study with only the neuromuscular stimulation, which would have better elucidated the effectiveness of Acupuncture, Moxibustion and scalp needling.
