This subject is of great intrest to me so if you know of spacific research material I would like to know where to find it. Every thing I have see on Ki has been directly related to concept not research.
A big me too here. Lot's of scientific studies showing the validity of some accupuncture, some herbal medicine and a whole heap of studies where the effect was marginal at best. Where they have been shown to work there are quite good theories beside Ki as to why.

However, when we get to Ki and rigorous science the former falls flat on its face. I understand Ki as concept, would actually like it backed up by research but its a total red herring to say

It is certainly NOT a very mysterious phenomenon. Just as i said in my earlier post, all you need to do is become better educated. The information is already out there


Really not interested it playing I know something you don't.

Please quote one scientific study that supports Qi. And by that I mean reproducable and not anecdotes.

The progress of science is measured by the fall of the pillars of superstition.
