Du hast in Deinem Post #211 auf einen Beitrag von Ireland Bezug genommen
Ireland:
Die Lehre von den Meridianen stammt aus einer Zeit, bevor man etwas über das Kreislaufsystem, die Nerven, die Lymphbahnen wußte (so ähnlich wie die Säftelehre, die lange Zeit in Europa bestand hatte, bis man mehr wußte) - sie wurden nie "gefunden".
Man weiß heute, daß z.B. Akupunktur "wirkt", egal wohin man die Nadeln sticht - unabhängig von Meridianen (also geht man davon aus, daß es etwas anderes ist, was "wirkt" - wahrscheinlich der erweiterte Placeboeffekt).
Wenn Du die diese Ärztin selbst bezahlen mußt, dann sei unbedingt sehr skeptisch!!!

Das kommt davon, wenn man durch die selektive Wahrnehmung wahrnimmt und dann meint, daß das, was man wahrnimmt, richtig sei.
Vielleicht machst Du dir selber mal die Mühe, das Internet nach Studien mit radioaktiven Tracern zu durchsuchen, durch die das Meridiansystem dargestellt wurde.
Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn Du Dich an Deine eigene Empfehlung halten würdest. Das beinhaltet auch, die Studien zu lesen, Nachfolgeuntersuchungen, Reviews und Systemic Reviews zu suchen.
Da Dir das offensichtlich entgangen ist, habe ich mich, Deinem Rat folgend, auf die Suche gemacht und - TADAAA - ich wurde fündig:

Acupuncture meridians demythified. Contribution of radiotracer methodology
Simon J, Guiraud G, Esquerre JP, Lazorthes Y, Guiraud R.
Abstract
Radioactive trajectories can be visualized by injecting a radioactive tracer, technetium 99 m, at the site of acupuncture points. To determine the exact nature of these trajectories we performed several experiments on healthy volunteers, and our results may be summarized as follows.
The target organs of technetium 99 m, and notably the thyroid gland, were always visualized. The circulating radioactivity, visible on scintiscans and confirmed by venous blood counts, was not negligible. The radioactive trajectories we observed were often divided at their starting point and did not extend along the whole length of the acupuncture meridians they might have made visible. The radioactive trajectories disappeared after venous blockade to reappear when the blockade was lifted. Finally, the radioactive trajectories obtained were very similar after injection at the acupuncture point and at a control point. These findings indicate a lymphatic and venous drainage of the radioactive tracer at the site of injection followed by transportation through the veins, rather than visualization of acupuncture meridians as suggested by some authors.

Electrical properties of acupuncture points and meridians: a systematic review.
Ahn AC, Colbert AP, Anderson BJ, Martinsen OG, Hammerschlag R, Cina S, Wayne PM, Langevin HM.
Abstract:
According to conventional wisdom within the acupuncture community, acupuncture points and meridians are special conduits for electrical signals. This view gained popularity after anecdotal reports and clinical studies asserted that these anatomical structures are characterized by lower electrical impedance compared to adjacent controls.
To ascertain whether evidence exists to support or refute this claim, we conducted a systematic review of studies directly evaluating the electrical characteristics of acupuncture structures and appropriate controls. We searched seven electronic databases until August 2007, hand-searched references, and consulted technical experts. We limited the review to primary data human studies published in English. A quality scoring system was created and employed for this review.
A total of 16 articles representing 18 studies met inclusion criteria: 9 examining acupuncture points and 9 examining meridians. Five out of 9 point studies showed positive association between acupuncture points and lower electrical resistance and impedance, while 7 out of 9 meridian studies showed positive association between acupuncture meridians and lower electrical impedance and higher capacitance.
The studies were generally poor in quality and limited by small sample size and multiple confounders. Based on this review, the evidence does not conclusively support the claim that acupuncture points or meridians are electrically distinguishable.

Acupuncture meridians and radiotracers
Yves Lazorthes∗
Abstract:
The present work confirms the appearance of radioactive paths after the injection of a radiotracer at acupuncture points. However, the cross-checks made with the method used (counting the radioactivity of the venous blood, studying radioactivity of the organs which normally take up the tracer, scintiscan study of the complete meridian paths as they are described in traditional Chinese medicine and studying the effect of venous blockade on the observed radioactive paths)
show that the radioactive paths in fact correspond to vascular drainage of the radiotracer.

Ramey: Acupuncture Points and Meridians Do Not Exist; a Review
Hm,....gute Frage , die ich im Moment nicht wirklich beantworten kann, da es mir nix sagt. Ich persönlich glaube nähmlich auch nicht an Dämonen und /oder was auch immer für gefärbte Säfte.
