نبذة مختصرة : Western medicine is beginning to more readly accept acupuncture as scientific confirmation accumulates on existence of acupuncture loci and how treatment of these loci to eliminate pain. Demonstration of the release of methionine enkephalin, leucine enkephaline and 13 - endorphin by pen-aquaductel grey matter in response to acupuncture treatment was significant in elucidating the manner in which such treatment can reduce andn eliminate pain (Croley and Carison, 1991). In the early stages of embryo development before the circulation and nervous system appear, cellular integration is might be achieve by network primitive medians. After fertilized eggs through split into several cells, still forms a livingn organism. The eggs is highly integrated through the communication of biological matter, energy and information between cells similar the primitive function of meridian suspicious origin developing true meridian system after the baby born (Saputra, 1998). Electrical activity at the acupuncture point has been a subject of much research, giving us insight into the existence of meridians and acquisitiveness as to why there is increased electrical activityat the acupuncture points. Evidence of increased electrical conductivity (lowered electrical resistance) at the acupuncture points has been well estabilshed (Wooley-Hart, 1972. Attempts to elucidate where acupuncture points are located and what causes their electrical activity, have led to the discovery that they are active in monjeys, dogs, horses, goats and pigs.Studies have also shown that acupuncture points are active in both animals as well as in humans (Gaulin, 1981). the author has found that being able to locate the acupuncture points in cadaver specimen has opened door to more possibilities in acupuncture point research.
