  How will Study of the Primo Vascular System, Acupuncture Meridians and Primo Vascular System Meridians Instigate a Paradigm Shift in Understanding Stem Cells Research, Stem Cells Therapy, Regenerative Medicine, Immune Deficiency, Cancer Symptoms, Migration of Tumor Cells and Cancer Metastasis?

Loofah sponge model of primo vascular system (Bonghan-Fascia Model, Lee and Soh, 2009 and 2011).

Authors Soh, K. S., Kang KA, Y. H. Ryu (34) believe a greater understanding about the Primo Vascular System (PVS) will bring about a paradigm shift in the understanding of pain control, stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine, immune deficiency, cancer, and many other important aspects in human health-care management. The authors noted that experimental work strongly suggests that the PVS is implicated in cancer metastasis.

The following are excerpts from the book The ‘Mystical’ TCM Triple Energizer. Its Elusive Location and Morphology Defined. This comprehensive educational book is valuable for anyone wanting to know more about general health and how the recently discovered Primo Vascular System appears to be intimately associated with both health and disease in that the Primo Vascular System may allow cancer stem cells to move through the body (metastasize). This illuminating book can be securely purchased by clicking the ‘BUY NOW’ button at the bottom of this page.

21.15 The Proof that ‘Peer Review’ Is a Faith-Based Process Rather Than Evidence-Based Process

Richard Smith, the former editor of the British Medical Journal (BMJ), presented a speech at an event for the Royal Society. Smith described an experiment that he helped conduct during his 13 years at BMJ. The experiment blatantly revealed that a striking number of intentional errors added to a test paper made it through the peer review process without even being spotted. Huff (71) described Smith’s clandestine experiment.

A short paper was written that intentionally contained eight deliberate errors. The paper was sent to 300 individuals for review. Amazingly, Smith reported that only a handful of these chosen reviewers detected any of the intentional mistakes. Not a single reviewer found all eight obvious errors. Shockingly, sixty of the reviewers (20%) did not find a single mistake. Disgracefully, Smith reported, ‘No one found more than five, the median was two, and 20 percent didn’t spot any.’ This bodes very poorly for the supposedly scientific peer review process. What is even worse is that the peer review process breeds discriminatory sentiment against honest pioneering research findings that confront the scientific status quo. There is major discrimination against research papers that reveal the hazards and unnecessary risks associated with issues regarding vaccine safety or the efficacy of orthodox cancer treatments, like chemotherapy. In a 2011 posting at BMJ Blogs, Smith wrote that the evidence regarding the prepublication peer review process confirms it is ineffective while, at the same time, it is slow, is very expensive, and is largely a ‘lottery’. Further to these demerit points, Smith noted that the peer review process is dismal at spotting error, highly biased, anti-innovatory, highly subject to abuse, and completely impotent in detecting fraudulent research. Smith reported that the global cost of the defective peer review behemoth is $1.9 billion. Not surprisingly, Smith stated, ‘It’s a faith-based rather than evidence-based process, which is hugely ironic when it’s at the heart of science’ (emphasis is mine).

23.1 What Are Biophotons?

In the book called Biophotons: The Light in Our Cells, the author, Marco Bischof (74), states, ‘Biophotons, or ultraweak photon emissions of biological systems, are weak electromagnetic waves in the optical range of the spectrum—in other words: light. All living cells of plants, animals and human beings emit biophotons which cannot be seen by the naked eye but can be measured by special equipment developed by German researchers.’ Bischof’s (74) book continues:

This light emission is an expression of the functional state of the living organism and its measurement therefore can be used to assess this state. Cancer cells and healthy cells of the same type, for instance, can be discriminated by typical differences in biophoton emission. After an initial decade and a half of basic research on this discovery, biophysicists of various European and Asian countries are now exploring the many interesting applications which range across such diverse fields as cancer research, noninvasive early medical diagnosis, food and water quality testing, chemical and electromagnetic contamination testing, cell communication, and various applications in biotechnology. (Emphasis is mine).

26.5 Illness Occurs when Biophoton Emissions Are ‘Out of Sync’

With regard to human connectivity to the earth and to seasonal influences, in the 2010 article entitled ‘The Power of Biological Light in Healing’, Dr Joseph Mercola (86) notes that research by Dr Popp confirmed that the light emissions of healthy people exhibit a defined biological rhythm for day and night and also by week and month, suggesting they are synchronized to intrinsic biorhythms of the earth. Remarkably, Popp confirmed that the light emissions emanating from cancer patients were devoid of such synchronized rhythms and were scrambled and disharmonious, suggesting that their cells were not communicating effectively with high fidelity. (Emphasis is mine).

33.3 Channel Pathways that Exist within the Body that Modern Science Has Not yet Discovered

Cancer researchers between 2009 and 2013 (34) have proposed that primo vessel channels could provide pathways for cancer metastasis throughout the body. From these recent findings, there is overwhelming proof that previously unknown pathways exist within the body. It is for this reason that I have faith in the ancient sages who told us that ‘the Heart is closely connected with the Uterus through the Uterus Vessel (Bao Mai)’ and that ‘the Uterus is related to the Kidneys via a channel called the Uterus Channel (Bao Luo)’. I believe that some ‘simple’ surgeries have severed these microscopic conduits without even the knowledge of their existence on behalf of the surgeon. Subsequently, due to destruction of these ‘unidentified’ pathways, real symptoms due to the damage are dismissed by the doctors as not possible and ‘all in your head’. (Emphasis is mine).

33.15 Modern Science Catches Up with Intuitive Ancient TCM Wisdom

In the article ‘50 Years of Bong-Han Theory and 10 Years of Primo Vascular System’, the authors (34) strongly believe that when the entire PVS network and its roles in mammalian biology are fully unraveled, the acupuncture therapy system of ancient traditional eastern medicine will be truly accepted as scientific medicine. Furthermore, the authors  believe a greater understanding about the PVS will bring about a paradigm shift in the understanding of pain control, stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine, immune deficiency, cancer, and many other important aspects in human health-care management. The authors (34) reported that up until this time, three of the five PVS classes that B. H. Kim classified have been confirmed as factual, and they noted that experimental work strongly suggests that the PVS is implicated in cancer metastasis. Summing up, the authors believe that clarifying the functional relationship between the acupuncture meridian system and the PVS may be instrumental in binding eastern and western medicine. (Emphasis is mine).

33.17 Professor Kim Discovered a Novel Circulatory System with Therapeutic Effects

Regarding more recent research information on the movement of fluid and cells within the PVS, a very recent 2014 study published in the journal Cancer Cell & Microenvironment (109) showed that ‘migration of tumor cells to secondary sites was more efficient in the PVS than in the lymphatic system. In addition, the PVS is also a conduit for a fluid, which, according to proteomic analyzes contains remarkably high levels of carbohydrate metabolic derivatives that are usually associated with stem cells, cancer cells and differentiated myeloid cells’ (emphasis is mine). The article poignantly continued, ‘Thus, the PVS has the potential to transport growth and communication factors between primary and secondary tumor sites, thereby enhancing the oncogenicity of tumor cells at secondary sites’. Thus, the PVS has been proven to transport ‘growth and communication factors’ throughout the body. Very interestingly, this is what the Triple- Energizer Metasystem also does. (Emphasis is mine).

33.57 Hypothesis for the Cause of Cancer Related to Bong-Han Theory

Regarding what he believes to be the primary cause of cancer, in the 2012 book (7), on page 24, in broken English, Jong-Su Lee suggests that the cause of cancer is associated with the Bong-Han system, that it is via the Bong-Han system that cancer metastasizes, that hormones are distributed, and that all brain cells are being continuously renewed. He suggested that all doctors should carry acupuncture needles instead of a stethoscope, and he believes that many medical problems can be solved using a shift of paradigm due to concepts associated with the Bong-Han theory. He hypothesizes very strongly that the cause of cancer is due to pathological changes within the Bong-Han system.  The 2014 Science article titled ‘Variation in Cancer Risk among Tissues Can Be Explained by the Number of Stem Cell Divisions’ by Cristian Tomasetti and Bert Vogelstein (112) reported, ‘Some tissue types give rise to human cancers millions of times more often than other tissue types. Although this has been recognized for more than a century, it has never been explained.’ (Emphasis is mine).

From their research, they concluded that the majority of cancers result from sheer ‘bad luck’ rather than unhealthy lifestyles, diet, or even inherited genes. The authors stated, ‘These results suggest that only a third of the variation in cancer risk among tissues is attributable to environmental factors or inherited predispositions. The majority is due to “bad luck,” that is, random mutations arising during DNA replication in normal, noncancerous stem cells.’ A strong correlation was established between a particular tissue’s stem cell division rate and its probability of developing cancer. The more often that cells divide, the more likely that cancer will develop. (Emphasis is mine).

Note importantly that stem cells are transported through the Primo Vascular System. I suggest that the compiled findings of both of these two former articles indicate that two-thirds of cancer cases could be due to bad luck, where the stem cells travelling through the Primo Vascular System (or Bong-Han system) undergo ‘random mutations arising during DNA replication in normal, noncancerous stem cells’. It makes sense that the Primo Vascular System is where cancers would develop; as previously shown, the Primo Vascular System has been proven to be the greatest cause of cancer metastasis. So maybe a pathological PVS is the one-stop ‘cancer shop’. If that is the case, nutraceuticals that nourish and protect both the stem cells and the Bong-Han system would be effective in preventing cancer. (Emphasis is mine).

33.58 Therapeutic Substances that May Stimulate the Release of Stem Cells and Fight Cancer

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a freshwater species of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). It is believed to support the release of adult stem cells from bone marrow and likely from the PVS. According to Christian Drapeau (113) from Stemtech, the following nutraceuticals are believed to work synergistically with AFA to increase the release of adult stem cells:

  1. Undaria pinnatifida is a marine alga which supports the immune system. Also known as Wakame, it is a sea vegetable, or edible seaweed. It has a mildly sweet flavor and is most often presented in soups and salads. In Oriental medicine, it has been traditionally used for blood purification, intestinal strength, skin, hair, reproductive organs, and menstrual regularity. The ingredient fucoidan supports the prolonged increase of circulating stem cells.
  2. Polygonum multiflorum is an herb known to help cellular rejuvenation and documented to support the release of stem cells from bone marrow. Polygonum multiflorum is also known by its synonym Fallopia multiflora (Chinese Knotweed). It is an herbaceous perennial vine growing to 2–4 m tall from a woody tuber. It is used in traditional Chinese medicine and believed to have antiaging properties. The Chinese name for the herb is Fo-Ti.
  3. Cordyceps Sinensis is associated with stamina and longevity, and Drapeau (113) believes that when it is mixed with the other ingredients, it synergizes the increased release of stem cells. Cordyceps sinensis has been described as a medicine in old Chinese medical books and Tibetan medicine. It is a rare combination of a caterpillar and a fungus and found at altitudes above 4,500 m in Sikkim.

42.6 Correct Gut Microbiome during Infancy Essential for Future Psychological Health, Brain Development, Learning, and Behaviour

It has been estimated for some time that 80–85% of our immune system is located in our gut, so reseeding our gut on a daily basis with healthy probiotic organisms is extremely important for our overall physical health.

A robust immune system is our number-one defense against all diseases—from the common cold or influenza virus affecting our Lungs in our Upper Heater to pathogenic organisms (Helicobacter pylori) causing ulcers in our Stomach (Middle Heater) and through to food-borne pathogenic bacteria or viruses affecting our Small Intestine in our Lower Heater. This immunological protection via the Three Heaters embraces the entire body to protect against the formation of chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancer anywhere in the body. In light of this, I recommend optimizing our gut microflora, especially our gut bacteria, by consuming traditionally made, unpasteurized versions of fermented foods on a daily basis to all my patients.

42.15 Pathogenic Organisms in Our Mouth Cause Disease States throughout the Entire Body

Regarding the mechanism by which pathogenic organisms in our mouth can cause disease states throughout the entire body, in the article titled ‘Oil Pulling the Key to Oral Health’, author Dr Valerie Malka (175) explains that modern medicine is realizing that poor oral and dental health can lead to serious chronic and degenerative medical conditions as well as produce adverse outcomes during pregnancy. Just as small ulcers or cuts can permit disease-causing microorganisms entry into the bloodstream, so too can abscesses, gum disease, and even tooth decay. If these conditions exist, brushing and flossing the teeth may lead to bleeding, and pathogenic organisms present can enter the bloodstream and be deposited and cause infection in any organ or tissue throughout the body, including respiratory illnesses in the lungs, heart valve infections, liver abscesses, and bone infections. Malka further notes that these circulating microorganisms can also produce medical conditions and diseases that don’t even appear to be related to infectious organisms. These pathologies include arthritis, skin conditions, kidney disease, asthma, stroke, dementia, osteoporosis, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, coronary artery disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. (Emphasis is mine).

42.24 The Gut Microbiome Is Considered a Newly Discovered ‘Human Organ’

One 2015 article (181) cited five different microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that are known to be linked to cancers when their numbers and aggressivity are not controlled by commensal microflora. They include Helicobacter pylori in gastric cancer. While the International Agency for Research on Cancer defines this microbe as a carcinogen, H. pylori has also been linked to a reduced risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, demonstrating the complexity involved and the organ-specific effects that microbes can have when it comes to their impact on cancer formation. Chronic Salmonella enterica infection has been linked to gallbladder cancer, while Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is strongly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Haemophilus influenzae and Candida albicans are implicated in lower–respiratory tract tumors. (Emphasis is mine).
