For 2,000 years, anatomists said acupuncture meridians didn't exist. In 1963, a North Korean surgeon found them — then vanished. In 2002, a physicist at Seoul National University turned on a fluorescent dye and lit them up again. In 2016, Auburn University independently confirmed it.This is the story of the Primo Vascular System (PVS) — a microscopic network of channels hiding inside your blood vessels, lymph vessels, and organs. It carries stem cells, biophotons, and immune cells simultaneously. And it may be the physical proof of what Chinese medicine has been describing for millennia.
This is Episode 05 of The Future Qi — an investigative series bridging Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern science. Not pseudoscience cheerleading. Not dismissal. Just evidence.
