The discovery of the metallic crystals found in great quantities at the acupuncture points allows to explain and understand the scientific mechanism of acupuncture.
  The theory of the needle stimulating electro-magnetically these crystals, and which will be repositioned in one direction or its opposite , confirms the principle of toning and dispersing.
  The acupuncture point stimulated by the needle acts like a rechargeable electrical battery, gradually unloading in an autonomous manner.
  This explains the following:
  1/ a few sessions will often be necessary to deal with a given pathology.
2/ a recovery can be observed at a later stage in relation to the actual sessions.
  The follow-up to this research should tend towards the definition of the specific spike in each point. The undeniable presence of the magnetozomes Fe3O4 along with a concentration of other magnetizable metals will allow the classification of points comparable to the existing classification in acupuncture i.e hot points, cold points, humidity points etc. This study can only be achieved via the microprobe. This work could take a long and be tedious. Other studies on living subjects via the N.M.R could also be an approach.
