The mysterious world of acupuncture is undergoing a scientific revolution that's turning ancient wisdom into cutting-edge biology. What was once dismissed as merely placebo effect now has compelling physical evidence thanks to groundbreaking discoveries about the primovascular system (PVS) – a network of tiny vessels and nodes that corresponds remarkably with traditional acupuncture points and meridians.
This fascinating journey begins in the 1960s with Korean scientist Bong-Han Kim, who first identified physical structures at acupuncture points. His work vanished into obscurity until the early 2000s when modern researchers rediscovered and confirmed his findings using advanced visualization techniques. The challenge was immense – these transparent, microscopic structures are easily overlooked without specialized staining methods and high-powered microscopy.
What makes this discovery truly revolutionary is what researchers found inside this system: stem cells capable of regeneration and repair. The PVS contains unique "primomicrocells" – tiny pluripotent stem cells that appear to travel through this network to areas needing healing. This provides a compelling biological explanation for acupuncture's therapeutic effects that goes well beyond belief or placebo. The system spans your entire body – beneath the skin, within blood vessels, around organs, and even through the nervous system – creating an integrated network for communication and healing.
The implications extend far beyond validating an ancient practice. Understanding this hidden biological system could transform our approach to regenerative medicine, cancer treatment, and our fundamental understanding of the body's self-healing capabilities. Most remarkably, this critical research remains largely unknown in conventional medicine, creating a significant gap between cutting-edge science and clinical practice.
At LifeWellMD, we're passionate about bridging this gap by incorporating this scientific understanding into our comprehensive approach to wellness and longevity.

acupuncture, age-old practice or cutting-edge science
?
You know, for a long time it'sfelt a bit like well a mystery.
But what if I told you thatexciting new scientific
discoveries are actuallyrevealing the very physical
mechanisms behind how it works?
We're moving way beyond justthinking.
It's all about belief.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's exactly right, and what's really remarkable is
that the information we've beenlooking into focuses precisely
on this transformation thegrowing scientific understanding
of acupuncture.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We're not just discussing ancient traditions
anymore.
We're actually uncovering thereal biological systems that
could explain its effects.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Absolutely.
And this deep dive isespecially for you to explore
this fascinating science with ushere at LifeWellMD down in
sunny Florida our whole team,you know inspired by Dr Coomer's
vision for health, wellness andlongevity Right.
We're really dedicated tobringing you the most
scientifically sound and welleffective treatments.
We truly believe thatunderstanding this science can
empower you in your own pursuitof well-being.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And if we tie this into the bigger picture, at
LifeWellMD, our approach is allabout bringing together, you
know, the best of both worldstime-honored practices but
supported by really strongscientific evidence.
Exactly so this investigationinto the physical workings of
acupuncture.
It fits perfectly with thatphilosophy, doesn't?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
it.
It really does.
So our mission today is clearwe're diving deep into the
scientific evidence for howacupuncture might actually work,
and we're focusing on afascinating system called the
primovascular system.
Okay, let's unpack this.
For a long time, thetraditional understanding of
acupuncture has centered onmeridians and acupoints, these
(01:42):
energetic pathways and specificlocations on the body.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
The T-flow and all that.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And this leaves us to consider how did that
traditional view connect withwhat modern science is now
finding?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Great question.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
While the idea of meridians as energy channels has
been key to traditionalpractice, the emerging
scientific view is identifyingactual physical structures that
seem to correspond to theselocations and pathways.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, here's where it gets really interesting.
Way back in the 1960s, a Koreanscientist named Bong-Han Kim
made some well trulygroundbreaking observations.
He identified specificstructures that appeared to be
linked to these very acupointsand meridians.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
What made Bong-Han Kim's work so significant is
that he wasn't just theorizing.
He was actually seeing physicalentities.
He named the structures underthe acupoints as Bong-Han
corpuscles.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Corpuscles.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And the meridian-like pathways as Bong-Han ducts, and
he considered these to be partof a larger system he called the
Kungrak or Bong-Han system.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And this system wasn't just on the surface right
.
It was found in various placesthroughout the body.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Precisely.
Kim described both superficialsystems right beneath the skin
and deeper systems.
These were found within ourblood and lymph vessels, on the
surface of and inside our organs, and even within the nervous
system itself.
Wow yeah, it suggests a muchmore integrated and widespread
network than we previously knewabout.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
But it wasn't exactly a straightforward path for his
discoveries, was it?
It sounds like his work kind offaded from view for a while.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's a really important point.
Yeah, Reproducing his findingsturned out to be quite difficult
for a number of reasons.
The detailed methods he usedfor staining and visualization
weren't always clearlydocumented and, tragically, the
institution where he workedclosed down in the mid-1960s and
his own whereabouts becameunknown.
(03:33):
Oh so this combination ofunclear methodology and his
disappearance contributed to hisfindings being largely
overlooked by the broaderscientific community for decades
.
It's an example of howsometimes even groundbreaking
work can face significanthurdles.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
But then fast forward about 40 years and a new group
of Korean scientists picked upwhere he left off, right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Exactly Around the start of the new millennium,
maybe early 2000s, koreanscientists decided to
reinvestigate Kim's originalwork and, using modern
techniques, they were actuallyable to confirm the existence of
these very structures he haddescribed decades earlier.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And that's when the term primovascular system, or
PVS, started to be used.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes, In 2002, Kwon Soop so, who was a leading
researcher in thisreinvestigation, he coined the
term primovascular system.
The primo nodes correspond toKim's Bonghan corpuscles.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And the primo vessels to his Bonghan ducts.
This new name really helped tosort of reignite research in
this fascinating area.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So for many years, actually seeing this system was
a major challenge, it soundslike, beyond using this somewhat
mysterious blue dye that Kimmentioned, mysterious blue dye
that Kim mentioned.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You're absolutely right.
The initial attempts byscientists in like Germany,
japan and China to replicateKim's work had varied levels of
success, and often the methodsthey used weren't detailed
enough or maybe the resultsweren't widely published.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
For instance, one early German study just looked
at tissue samples without firstisolating the PVS, and well,
they didn't find conclusiveevidence.
It was like looking for aspecific thread in a complex
tapestry without knowing exactlywhat you're looking for.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, Makes sense.
But the scientific effort tovisualize this system using
modern tools really gainedmomentum with the development of
new techniques, didn't it?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Absolutely.
The development of new methodsfor isolating and then
visualizing the PVS was acritical breakthrough.
This included using specificsugar solutions like dextrose,
contrast-enhancing opticaltechniques and various
specialized dyes and stainingmethods.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Like what kind of dyes?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Think of dyes like acridine orange, or a
combination of mares,hematocalin and fulgine, alcin
blue, triphen blue, janus green.
Each of these helped to makethe very fine structures of the
PVS more visible under themicroscope.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And it's so important to understand that without
these specific stainingtechniques, the PVS could easily
be mistaken for something elseentirely right, Like just
regular old fibrin threads fromblood clotting.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's a key distinction exactly.
Researchers discovered that thePVS doesn't break down in
heparin solutions, unlike fibrinthreads, so that became an
important way to tell them apart, ah, clever.
Plus for the PVS found insideblood vessels.
Its transparent walls made iteven harder to see without these
special stains.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, so scientists could finally see it.
What does this primovascularsystem actually look like on a
larger scale?
What are its main you know,visible features?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Macroscopically, so what you can sort of see.
Both the superficial PVS, justunder the skin, and the deeper
PVS are made up of two mainparts.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The primo vessels and the primo nodes.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
These nodes are connected by the vessels and at
the nodes you often see thevessels branching out and then
coming back together, formingthis network structure.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And these structures are incredibly small, which is
why they were so difficult tospot without specialized
equipment.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Exactly.
Primo vessels are generallydescribed as semi-transparent,
almost like very fine threads.
The deep primo nodes, which areessentially wider parts of
these vessels, can be a fewmillimeters long, but like less
than a millimeter wide Tiny yeah.
Studies on the surface of ratorgans have even shown nodes
that are smaller.
In rabbits.
These deeper nodes tend to beelongated or oval in shape and
(07:12):
have a slightly milky appearance.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So isolating them and seeing them clearly requires a
very delicate touch and somereally advanced technology.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Precisely High resolution optical imaging
systems and highly skilledmicrosurgery techniques are
essential for isolating the PBSso it can be studied.
We also know that primo vesselslocated inside lymphatic
vessels in rabbits are typicallyaround 20 to 30 micrometers in
diameter.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Wow, micrometers which?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
is incredibly tiny.
On rat organ surfaces they canbe a bit wider, maybe 40 to 100
micrometers.
Rat organ surfaces that can bea bit wider, maybe 40 to 100
micrometers, and, interestingly,injecting certain dyes can
actually make these vesselsswell slightly, which makes them
easier to see.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And there's also this primo fluid inside these
vessels which seems to have somereally unique characteristics.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yes, the primo fluid.
It's a circulating liquidthat's rich in nucleic acids,
particularly DNA.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
DNA Interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, this high concentration of DNA is why
primo vessels stain sopositively with those dyes we
mentioned earlier, like Fulginand Acridine Orange.
Additionally, the fluidcontains a lot of hyaluronic
acid, which explains why it alsostains positively with Alcyon
Blue.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Okay, Now if we zoom in even further, what does the
PVS look like under a reallypowerful microscope?
What are the key microscopicdetails?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Microscopically, a single primo vessel can contain
anywhere from one to as many as20 smaller channels or ductules.
They're also called primolumens.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Ductules Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
These ductules vary in size.
The smaller ones are around 6to 10 micrometers in diameter,
and the larger ones might rangefrom 30 to 50 micrometers.
So still incredibly small, muchsmaller than most of our
individual cells.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
And the cells that line these ductules.
They have some very specificfeatures, don't they?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
They do.
The ductules are lined by cellsthat resemble endothelial cells
which normally line bloodvessels, but these PVS cells,
they don't have the typicaltight junctions or gap junctions
you'd find in regular bloodvessel linings Correct, and they
don't have a complete basementmembrane.
Their nuclei, the controlcenters, are rod-shaped and
quite elongated, like 10, 20micrometers long.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And marker-wise.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Interestingly, they show the presence of von
Willebrand factor, which isusually found in endothelial
cells, but they don't show CD31,another common endothelial
marker.
So it's a bit unique.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Some studies have even suggested there might be a
double layer of cells liningthese ductules an inner layer of
endothelial-like cells and anouter layer of epithelial-like
cells.
Still being researched, though.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What else is found inside these primo vessels?
It sounds like they're not justhollow tubes.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Exactly Between these ductules, researchers have
observed fiber-like structuresthat resemble fibrin, as well as
a kind of amorphous or sort ofshapeless intercellular
substance.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Crucially, they've also found basophilic granules.
These are thought to be DNAgranules or possibly very small
cell-like structures calledseniles or primomicrocells.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Primomicrocells.
We'll come back to those.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yes, and there are also nucleus-like bodies within
the ductules themselves.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And the primo nodes themselves.
They have a complex internalstructure too, it seems.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yes, the deep primo nodes are covered by a thin
membrane which also appears tohave that inner endothelial-like
layer and an outerepithelial-like layer.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And inside.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Inside they contain a whole variety of cells, Things
like mast cells, histiocytes,different types of blood cells,
granulocytes, lymphocytes,monocytes, all embedded in that
intercellular substance wementioned Right.
Importantly, they also containimmature round cells that are
thought to be hematopoietic stemcells, the kind that can
(10:46):
develop into blood cells Stemcells okay.
And a significant number ofchromatin cells, plus those very
small embryonic stem-like cells, the primomicro cells.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
There they are again.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, these cells can be scattered throughout the
node or found in clusters nearsmall channels or ductules
within the nodes themselves, andthese internal ductules, also
lined by endophilia-like cells,can also contain those
basophilic granules.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, this is where it gets really exciting for us
at LifeWellMD, because theresearch strongly suggests the
presence of stem cells withinthis primovascular system.
This could really change how wethink about the body's ability
to heal and regenerate, which isso central to our focus on
wellness and longevity right.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
This is indeed a potentially revolutionary aspect
of the PBS.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Absolutely.
Studies have identified varioustypes of stem cells, including
the primo microcells.
We've been talking about whatappear to be hematopoietic stem
cells and get this even cancerstem cells in individuals with
cancer.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
This opens up entirely new avenues for
understanding how the bodymaintains itself and how
diseases might develop andpotentially spread.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Let's focus on these primo micro cells for a moment.
What makes them so potentiallyimportant?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well, several studies have indicated that primo micro
cells express markers that aretypically found on pluripotent
stem cells.
Now, pluripotent basicallymeans these cells have the
remarkable ability to developinto many different types of
cells in the body.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Like master keys Exactly Like a master key that
can unlock many different doors.
These primo microcells are alsovery small, typically ranging
from one to five micrometers insize.
Genie, tiny, very.
One study identified cells witha specific marker called CD133
as primo microcells, notingtheir unique nuclear
(12:31):
characteristics.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
However, it's important to mention the number
of these specific cells found inthat study was quite low, so it
highlights this is still anarea of active research found in
that study was quite low, so ithighlights this is still an
area of active research andthere's ongoing research looking
at even smaller primomicrocells and the specific
identification tags or markersthat they carry Exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Other research has pointed to the existence of even
smaller primo microcells, maybearound one to two micrometers
in diameter, and when scientistshave looked at the genetic
material from whole primo vesselextracts using a technique
called RT-PCR, they foundevidence of various pluripotent
stem cell markers.
But again, a small caution it'simportant to remember these
markers might not be exclusivelyfound on primo microcells alone
(13:10):
.
They could be present on othercomponents within the vessel as
well.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right, context matters, but the really
significant implication here istheir potential role in helping
the body heal and regeneratedamaged tissues.
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
That's the exciting hypothesis.
Yes, primo, microcells arebelieved to have the ability to
travel through the PVS to sitesof tissue or organ damage and
contribute to repair, much likethe resident stem cells that are
already present in thosetissues.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So they travel to where they're needed.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
That's the idea.
Yeah, they've even beenobserved exhibiting what's
called Brownian motion, a kindof random jiggling movement
within the primo fluid, and,interestingly, their movement
increases when exposed to UVAlight.
Strange, yeah, we're stillunderstanding exactly what that
means physiologically, but itsuggests the dynamic and
potentially responsive system.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
There seems to be some debate within the
scientific community about theexact nature of these
primo-microcells, though, withsome suggesting they might be
very small, embryonic-like stemcells or even something else
entirely.
It really highlights how newthis area of research is.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's a valid point.
Because of their very smallsize and the finding of
fragmented DNA in some studies,some researchers have proposed
they might be very small,embryonic-like or via cell stem
cells, which were initiallydescribed in bone marrow.
However, the existence andcharacteristics of via cells
themselves have been a topic ofongoing discussion in the
(14:33):
scientific community.
So it's layered.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's also been suggested that primal microcells
could potentially be apoptoticbodies.
It's also been suggested thatpremom microcells could
potentially be apoptotic bodies,remnants of cells undergoing
programmed cell death, or evenlarge microvesicles, which are
small membrane-bound sacsreleased by cells.
So yeah, the precise nature isstill a subject of active
investigation at science.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Absolutely Part of the process.
But the PVS doesn't just seemto contain these premom
microcells.
There's also evidence of othertypes of stem cells as well.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, Studies have indicated the presence of adult
pluripotent and hematopoieticstem cells within the PVS.
This raises the intriguingpossibility that the
intravascular PVS, the partwithin our blood vessels, might
play a role in hematopoiesis.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Blood cell formation.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
The formation of blood cells?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
yeah, Potentially even outside of the bone marrow.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
One study highlighted the isolation of a specific
type of stem cell called SCA1plus LYNCD45 from mouse PVS.
They found them at a muchhigher rate than they're found
in bone marrow.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Really.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, and these cells showed the presence of
pluripotent markers, didn't showsigns of cell death, could
multiply and form clusters inlab cultures and even
demonstrated the ability todevelop into neurons and
potentially help repair braindamage from stroke in mice.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's incredible.
The potential for futurecell-based therapies is huge,
although the challenge of beingable to harvest these cells
without causing harm to thedonor is definitely something to
consider.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Absolutely.
While the potential fortherapeutic applications is
significant, the current methodsfor isolating PVS stem cells
are invasive and couldpotentially cause harm.
That underscores the need fordeveloping less invasive
techniques in the future a bighurdle.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The research also touches on a potential
connection between the PVS andcancer.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yes, unfortunately, animal studies suggest that
tumor cells might be able to usethe PVS as a pathway to spread
or metastasize to other parts ofthe body.
Oh dear, there's also evidencethat the growth of new PVS
networks around tumors mightactually happen before the
growth of new blood vessels, aprocess called
neovascularization.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
That's significant.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It is, Furthermore, human.
Tumor-derived stem cells haveactually been found within the
PVS, suggesting that it couldpotentially provide a supportive
environment or niche for cancerstem cells.
Understanding this could leadto new ways to target cancer
spread.
Hopefully.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
And there's this fascinating concept of spiroces,
the development of thesemicrocells.
Can you touch on that?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Right sclerosis, the development of microcells,
termed spirocists, appears to bea distinct process from regular
cell death or apoptosis.
While microcells are found intumor tissue, researchers have
also developed technologies tocreate artificial microcells for
delivering genetic materialinto cells.
This raises the intriguingquestion of whether a similar
(17:19):
natural mechanism might existwithin the PVS for the purpose
of tissue repair andregeneration.
It's another area where wellmore research is definitely
needed.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Finally, there's the question of how these
primo-microcells themselves aregenerated and multiply.
How does that work?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Good question.
Observations in cell culturehave shown primo-microcells
exhibiting thread-likeextensions, sort of butting off
new cells and even fusingtogether to form larger
structures.
However, these mechanisms don'tperfectly align with the
typical ways human cellsproliferate.
They more closely resembleprocesses seen in simpler
organisms like, say, yeast.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Interesting comparison.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, there's also a hypothesis that primo microcells
might originate from apoptoticcells that somehow managed to
avoid being cleared away by theimmune system.
So the exact organs andmechanisms of proliferation of
these fascinating microcells arestill very much under
investigation.
Lots to learn.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So bringing it back to LifeWellMD's core focus on
enhancing your well-being andpromoting longevity, this
exciting new understanding ofthe PVS and the stem cells it
contains could trulyrevolutionize how we approach
healing, regeneration and,ultimately, our overall health.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
This knowledge underscores the body's
incredible innate capacity forself-repair.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Exactly for self-repair.
Exactly If we connect this tothe bigger picture of health and
longevity.
The PVS, with its potentialrole in tissue repair and
regeneration through stem cells,presents a new frontier in our
understanding of how the bodymaintains and heals itself.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
This knowledge could inform the development of really
innovative therapeuticstrategies in the years to come,
and it strongly suggests thatthere is a real physical,
biological basis for thepositive effects that people
experience with acupuncture.
It moves it from a purelytheoretical or belief-based
explanation into the realm ofactual science.
This is something we atLifeWellMD find incredibly
exciting, because it alignsperfectly with our commitment to
(19:12):
evidence-based practices.
It also highlights somethingimportant, which is that many in
the conventional medicalcommunity may still be unaware
of this growing body ofscientific evidence supporting
acupuncture.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That leads us to a critical point why isn't this
groundbreaking research morewidely known and integrated into
mainstream medicine?
The reality is, many physiciansare likely unaware of the
significant scientific work thathas confirmed the existence and
potential of the primovascularsystem.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We believe it's really crucial to bridge this
gap between cutting-edgeresearch and clinical practice
to benefit patient care.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So for you listening, the key takeaway here is the
existence of this primovascularsystem, a physical network
within your body that containsstem cells and appears to play a
vital role in regeneration andoverall health.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's a whole new layer of biology.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Exactly.
This offers a powerfulscientific lens through which we
can understand how acupuncture,a therapy we offer here at
LifeWellMD, might be working topromote healing and well-being.
It's no longer just aboutbelief.
It's about understanding thebody's own intricate systems.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It really makes you wonder about the incredible
potential of the body that weare only just beginning to
understand, doesn't it?
It does.
This research encourages us tolook beyond conventional
explanations and embrace theexciting discoveries that
science is revealing about ourown innate healing capabilities.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
As you consider your own wellness journey.
We encourage you to think aboutthis new scientific perspective
on acupuncture and itspotential benefits.
Be open to the possibilitiesthat modern science is
uncovering about this ancientpractice.

Absolutely.
Our team is here to help youunlock your body's full
potential for health, healingand lasting well-being.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Which leads to a final thought-provoking question
for you to ponder If the bodypossesses this intricate
physical system dedicated tohealing and regeneration, a
system directly linked to atherapy like acupuncture, what
other hidden biological networksare just waiting to be
discovered, and how couldunderstanding them fundamentally
transform our approach tohealth and maybe even the very
(22:42):
limits of human potential?
acupuncture, age-old practice or cutting-edge science
?
You know, for a long time it'sfelt a bit like well a mystery.
But what if I told you thatexciting new scientific
discoveries are actuallyrevealing the very physical
mechanisms behind how it works?
We're moving way beyond justthinking.
It's all about belief.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's exactly right, and what's really remarkable is
that the information we've beenlooking into focuses precisely
on this transformation thegrowing scientific understanding
of acupuncture.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We're not just discussing ancient traditions
anymore.
We're actually uncovering thereal biological systems that
could explain its effects.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Absolutely.
And this deep dive isespecially for you to explore
this fascinating science with ushere at LifeWellMD down in
sunny Florida our whole team,you know inspired by Dr Coomer's
vision for health, wellness andlongevity Right.
We're really dedicated tobringing you the most
scientifically sound and welleffective treatments.
We truly believe thatunderstanding this science can
empower you in your own pursuitof well-being.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And if we tie this into the bigger picture, at
LifeWellMD, our approach is allabout bringing together, you
know, the best of both worldstime-honored practices but
supported by really strongscientific evidence.
Exactly so this investigationinto the physical workings of
acupuncture.
It fits perfectly with thatphilosophy, doesn't?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
it.
It really does.
So our mission today is clearwe're diving deep into the
scientific evidence for howacupuncture might actually work,
and we're focusing on afascinating system called the
primovascular system.
Okay, let's unpack this.
For a long time, thetraditional understanding of
acupuncture has centered onmeridians and acupoints, these
(01:42):
energetic pathways and specificlocations on the body.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
The T-flow and all that.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And this leaves us to consider how did that
traditional view connect withwhat modern science is now
finding?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Great question.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
While the idea of meridians as energy channels has
been key to traditionalpractice, the emerging
scientific view is identifyingactual physical structures that
seem to correspond to theselocations and pathways.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, here's where it gets really interesting.
Way back in the 1960s, a Koreanscientist named Bong-Han Kim
made some well trulygroundbreaking observations.
He identified specificstructures that appeared to be
linked to these very acupointsand meridians.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
What made Bong-Han Kim's work so significant is
that he wasn't just theorizing.
He was actually seeing physicalentities.
He named the structures underthe acupoints as Bong-Han
corpuscles.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Corpuscles.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And the meridian-like pathways as Bong-Han ducts, and
he considered these to be partof a larger system he called the
Kungrak or Bong-Han system.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And this system wasn't just on the surface right
.
It was found in various placesthroughout the body.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Precisely.
Kim described both superficialsystems right beneath the skin
and deeper systems.
These were found within ourblood and lymph vessels, on the
surface of and inside our organs, and even within the nervous
system itself.
Wow yeah, it suggests a muchmore integrated and widespread
network than we previously knewabout.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
But it wasn't exactly a straightforward path for his
discoveries, was it?
It sounds like his work kind offaded from view for a while.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's a really important point.
Yeah, Reproducing his findingsturned out to be quite difficult
for a number of reasons.
The detailed methods he usedfor staining and visualization
weren't always clearlydocumented and, tragically, the
institution where he workedclosed down in the mid-1960s and
his own whereabouts becameunknown.
(03:33):
Oh so this combination ofunclear methodology and his
disappearance contributed to hisfindings being largely
overlooked by the broaderscientific community for decades
.
It's an example of howsometimes even groundbreaking
work can face significanthurdles.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
But then fast forward about 40 years and a new group
of Korean scientists picked upwhere he left off, right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Exactly Around the start of the new millennium,
maybe early 2000s, koreanscientists decided to
reinvestigate Kim's originalwork and, using modern
techniques, they were actuallyable to confirm the existence of
these very structures he haddescribed decades earlier.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And that's when the term primovascular system, or
PVS, started to be used.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes, In 2002, Kwon Soop so, who was a leading
researcher in thisreinvestigation, he coined the
term primovascular system.
The primo nodes correspond toKim's Bonghan corpuscles.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And the primo vessels to his Bonghan ducts.
This new name really helped tosort of reignite research in
this fascinating area.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So for many years, actually seeing this system was
a major challenge, it soundslike, beyond using this somewhat
mysterious blue dye that Kimmentioned, mysterious blue dye
that Kim mentioned.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You're absolutely right.
The initial attempts byscientists in like Germany,
japan and China to replicateKim's work had varied levels of
success, and often the methodsthey used weren't detailed
enough or maybe the resultsweren't widely published.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
For instance, one early German study just looked
at tissue samples without firstisolating the PVS, and well,
they didn't find conclusiveevidence.
It was like looking for aspecific thread in a complex
tapestry without knowing exactlywhat you're looking for.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, Makes sense.
But the scientific effort tovisualize this system using
modern tools really gainedmomentum with the development of
new techniques, didn't it?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Absolutely.
The development of new methodsfor isolating and then
visualizing the PVS was acritical breakthrough.
This included using specificsugar solutions like dextrose,
contrast-enhancing opticaltechniques and various
specialized dyes and stainingmethods.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Like what kind of dyes?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Think of dyes like acridine orange, or a
combination of mares,hematocalin and fulgine, alcin
blue, triphen blue, janus green.
Each of these helped to makethe very fine structures of the
PVS more visible under themicroscope.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And it's so important to understand that without
these specific stainingtechniques, the PVS could easily
be mistaken for something elseentirely right, Like just
regular old fibrin threads fromblood clotting.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's a key distinction exactly.
Researchers discovered that thePVS doesn't break down in
heparin solutions, unlike fibrinthreads, so that became an
important way to tell them apart, ah, clever.
Plus for the PVS found insideblood vessels.
Its transparent walls made iteven harder to see without these
special stains.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, so scientists could finally see it.
What does this primovascularsystem actually look like on a
larger scale?
What are its main you know,visible features?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Macroscopically, so what you can sort of see.
Both the superficial PVS, justunder the skin, and the deeper
PVS are made up of two mainparts.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The primo vessels and the primo nodes.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
These nodes are connected by the vessels and at
the nodes you often see thevessels branching out and then
coming back together, formingthis network structure.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And these structures are incredibly small, which is
why they were so difficult tospot without specialized
equipment.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Exactly.
Primo vessels are generallydescribed as semi-transparent,
almost like very fine threads.
The deep primo nodes, which areessentially wider parts of
these vessels, can be a fewmillimeters long, but like less
than a millimeter wide Tiny yeah.
Studies on the surface of ratorgans have even shown nodes
that are smaller.
In rabbits.
These deeper nodes tend to beelongated or oval in shape and
(07:12):
have a slightly milky appearance.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So isolating them and seeing them clearly requires a
very delicate touch and somereally advanced technology.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Precisely High resolution optical imaging
systems and highly skilledmicrosurgery techniques are
essential for isolating the PBSso it can be studied.
We also know that primo vesselslocated inside lymphatic
vessels in rabbits are typicallyaround 20 to 30 micrometers in
diameter.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Wow, micrometers which?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
is incredibly tiny.
On rat organ surfaces they canbe a bit wider, maybe 40 to 100
micrometers.
Rat organ surfaces that can bea bit wider, maybe 40 to 100
micrometers, and, interestingly,injecting certain dyes can
actually make these vesselsswell slightly, which makes them
easier to see.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And there's also this primo fluid inside these
vessels which seems to have somereally unique characteristics.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yes, the primo fluid.
It's a circulating liquidthat's rich in nucleic acids,
particularly DNA.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
DNA Interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, this high concentration of DNA is why
primo vessels stain sopositively with those dyes we
mentioned earlier, like Fulginand Acridine Orange.
Additionally, the fluidcontains a lot of hyaluronic
acid, which explains why it alsostains positively with Alcyon
Blue.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Okay, Now if we zoom in even further, what does the
PVS look like under a reallypowerful microscope?
What are the key microscopicdetails?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Microscopically, a single primo vessel can contain
anywhere from one to as many as20 smaller channels or ductules.
They're also called primolumens.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Ductules Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
These ductules vary in size.
The smaller ones are around 6to 10 micrometers in diameter,
and the larger ones might rangefrom 30 to 50 micrometers.
So still incredibly small, muchsmaller than most of our
individual cells.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
And the cells that line these ductules.
They have some very specificfeatures, don't they?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
They do.
The ductules are lined by cellsthat resemble endothelial cells
which normally line bloodvessels, but these PVS cells,
they don't have the typicaltight junctions or gap junctions
you'd find in regular bloodvessel linings Correct, and they
don't have a complete basementmembrane.
Their nuclei, the controlcenters, are rod-shaped and
quite elongated, like 10, 20micrometers long.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And marker-wise.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Interestingly, they show the presence of von
Willebrand factor, which isusually found in endothelial
cells, but they don't show CD31,another common endothelial
marker.
So it's a bit unique.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Some studies have even suggested there might be a
double layer of cells liningthese ductules an inner layer of
endothelial-like cells and anouter layer of epithelial-like
cells.
Still being researched, though.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What else is found inside these primo vessels?
It sounds like they're not justhollow tubes.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Exactly Between these ductules, researchers have
observed fiber-like structuresthat resemble fibrin, as well as
a kind of amorphous or sort ofshapeless intercellular
substance.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Crucially, they've also found basophilic granules.
These are thought to be DNAgranules or possibly very small
cell-like structures calledseniles or primomicrocells.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Primomicrocells.
We'll come back to those.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yes, and there are also nucleus-like bodies within
the ductules themselves.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And the primo nodes themselves.
They have a complex internalstructure too, it seems.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yes, the deep primo nodes are covered by a thin
membrane which also appears tohave that inner endothelial-like
layer and an outerepithelial-like layer.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And inside.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Inside they contain a whole variety of cells, Things
like mast cells, histiocytes,different types of blood cells,
granulocytes, lymphocytes,monocytes, all embedded in that
intercellular substance wementioned Right.
Importantly, they also containimmature round cells that are
thought to be hematopoietic stemcells, the kind that can
(10:46):
develop into blood cells Stemcells okay.
And a significant number ofchromatin cells, plus those very
small embryonic stem-like cells, the primomicro cells.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
There they are again.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, these cells can be scattered throughout the
node or found in clusters nearsmall channels or ductules
within the nodes themselves, andthese internal ductules, also
lined by endophilia-like cells,can also contain those
basophilic granules.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, this is where it gets really exciting for us
at LifeWellMD, because theresearch strongly suggests the
presence of stem cells withinthis primovascular system.
This could really change how wethink about the body's ability
to heal and regenerate, which isso central to our focus on
wellness and longevity right.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
This is indeed a potentially revolutionary aspect
of the PBS.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Absolutely.
Studies have identified varioustypes of stem cells, including
the primo microcells.
We've been talking about whatappear to be hematopoietic stem
cells and get this even cancerstem cells in individuals with
cancer.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
This opens up entirely new avenues for
understanding how the bodymaintains itself and how
diseases might develop andpotentially spread.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Let's focus on these primo micro cells for a moment.
What makes them so potentiallyimportant?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well, several studies have indicated that primo micro
cells express markers that aretypically found on pluripotent
stem cells.
Now, pluripotent basicallymeans these cells have the
remarkable ability to developinto many different types of
cells in the body.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Like master keys Exactly Like a master key that
can unlock many different doors.
These primo microcells are alsovery small, typically ranging
from one to five micrometers insize.
Genie, tiny, very.
One study identified cells witha specific marker called CD133
as primo microcells, notingtheir unique nuclear
(12:31):
characteristics.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
However, it's important to mention the number
of these specific cells found inthat study was quite low, so it
highlights this is still anarea of active research found in
that study was quite low, so ithighlights this is still an
area of active research andthere's ongoing research looking
at even smaller primomicrocells and the specific
identification tags or markersthat they carry Exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Other research has pointed to the existence of even
smaller primo microcells, maybearound one to two micrometers
in diameter, and when scientistshave looked at the genetic
material from whole primo vesselextracts using a technique
called RT-PCR, they foundevidence of various pluripotent
stem cell markers.
But again, a small caution it'simportant to remember these
markers might not be exclusivelyfound on primo microcells alone
(13:10):
.
They could be present on othercomponents within the vessel as
well.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right, context matters, but the really
significant implication here istheir potential role in helping
the body heal and regeneratedamaged tissues.
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
That's the exciting hypothesis.
Yes, primo, microcells arebelieved to have the ability to
travel through the PVS to sitesof tissue or organ damage and
contribute to repair, much likethe resident stem cells that are
already present in thosetissues.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So they travel to where they're needed.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
That's the idea.
Yeah, they've even beenobserved exhibiting what's
called Brownian motion, a kindof random jiggling movement
within the primo fluid, and,interestingly, their movement
increases when exposed to UVAlight.
Strange, yeah, we're stillunderstanding exactly what that
means physiologically, but itsuggests the dynamic and
potentially responsive system.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
There seems to be some debate within the
scientific community about theexact nature of these
primo-microcells, though, withsome suggesting they might be
very small, embryonic-like stemcells or even something else
entirely.
It really highlights how newthis area of research is.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's a valid point.
Because of their very smallsize and the finding of
fragmented DNA in some studies,some researchers have proposed
they might be very small,embryonic-like or via cell stem
cells, which were initiallydescribed in bone marrow.
However, the existence andcharacteristics of via cells
themselves have been a topic ofongoing discussion in the
(14:33):
scientific community.
So it's layered.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's also been suggested that primal microcells
could potentially be apoptoticbodies.
It's also been suggested thatpremom microcells could
potentially be apoptotic bodies,remnants of cells undergoing
programmed cell death, or evenlarge microvesicles, which are
small membrane-bound sacsreleased by cells.
So yeah, the precise nature isstill a subject of active
investigation at science.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Absolutely Part of the process.
But the PVS doesn't just seemto contain these premom
microcells.
There's also evidence of othertypes of stem cells as well.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, Studies have indicated the presence of adult
pluripotent and hematopoieticstem cells within the PVS.
This raises the intriguingpossibility that the
intravascular PVS, the partwithin our blood vessels, might
play a role in hematopoiesis.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Blood cell formation.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
The formation of blood cells?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
yeah, Potentially even outside of the bone marrow.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
One study highlighted the isolation of a specific
type of stem cell called SCA1plus LYNCD45 from mouse PVS.
They found them at a muchhigher rate than they're found
in bone marrow.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Really.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, and these cells showed the presence of
pluripotent markers, didn't showsigns of cell death, could
multiply and form clusters inlab cultures and even
demonstrated the ability todevelop into neurons and
potentially help repair braindamage from stroke in mice.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's incredible.
The potential for futurecell-based therapies is huge,
although the challenge of beingable to harvest these cells
without causing harm to thedonor is definitely something to
consider.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Absolutely.
While the potential fortherapeutic applications is
significant, the current methodsfor isolating PVS stem cells
are invasive and couldpotentially cause harm.
That underscores the need fordeveloping less invasive
techniques in the future a bighurdle.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The research also touches on a potential
connection between the PVS andcancer.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yes, unfortunately, animal studies suggest that
tumor cells might be able to usethe PVS as a pathway to spread
or metastasize to other parts ofthe body.
Oh dear, there's also evidencethat the growth of new PVS
networks around tumors mightactually happen before the
growth of new blood vessels, aprocess called
neovascularization.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
That's significant.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It is, Furthermore, human.
Tumor-derived stem cells haveactually been found within the
PVS, suggesting that it couldpotentially provide a supportive
environment or niche for cancerstem cells.
Understanding this could leadto new ways to target cancer
spread.
Hopefully.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
And there's this fascinating concept of spiroces,
the development of thesemicrocells.
Can you touch on that?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Right sclerosis, the development of microcells,
termed spirocists, appears to bea distinct process from regular
cell death or apoptosis.
While microcells are found intumor tissue, researchers have
also developed technologies tocreate artificial microcells for
delivering genetic materialinto cells.
This raises the intriguingquestion of whether a similar
(17:19):
natural mechanism might existwithin the PVS for the purpose
of tissue repair andregeneration.
It's another area where wellmore research is definitely
needed.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Finally, there's the question of how these
primo-microcells themselves aregenerated and multiply.
How does that work?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Good question.
Observations in cell culturehave shown primo-microcells
exhibiting thread-likeextensions, sort of butting off
new cells and even fusingtogether to form larger
structures.
However, these mechanisms don'tperfectly align with the
typical ways human cellsproliferate.
They more closely resembleprocesses seen in simpler
organisms like, say, yeast.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Interesting comparison.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, there's also a hypothesis that primo microcells
might originate from apoptoticcells that somehow managed to
avoid being cleared away by theimmune system.
So the exact organs andmechanisms of proliferation of
these fascinating microcells arestill very much under
investigation.
Lots to learn.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So bringing it back to LifeWellMD's core focus on
enhancing your well-being andpromoting longevity, this
exciting new understanding ofthe PVS and the stem cells it
contains could trulyrevolutionize how we approach
healing, regeneration and,ultimately, our overall health.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
This knowledge underscores the body's
incredible innate capacity forself-repair.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Exactly for self-repair.
Exactly If we connect this tothe bigger picture of health and
longevity.
The PVS, with its potentialrole in tissue repair and
regeneration through stem cells,presents a new frontier in our
understanding of how the bodymaintains and heals itself.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
This knowledge could inform the development of really
innovative therapeuticstrategies in the years to come,
and it strongly suggests thatthere is a real physical,
biological basis for thepositive effects that people
experience with acupuncture.
It moves it from a purelytheoretical or belief-based
explanation into the realm ofactual science.
This is something we atLifeWellMD find incredibly
exciting, because it alignsperfectly with our commitment to
(19:12):
evidence-based practices.
It also highlights somethingimportant, which is that many in
the conventional medicalcommunity may still be unaware
of this growing body ofscientific evidence supporting
acupuncture.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That leads us to a critical point why isn't this
groundbreaking research morewidely known and integrated into
mainstream medicine?
The reality is, many physiciansare likely unaware of the
significant scientific work thathas confirmed the existence and
potential of the primovascularsystem.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We believe it's really crucial to bridge this
gap between cutting-edgeresearch and clinical practice
to benefit patient care.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So for you listening, the key takeaway here is the
existence of this primovascularsystem, a physical network
within your body that containsstem cells and appears to play a
vital role in regeneration andoverall health.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's a whole new layer of biology.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Exactly.
This offers a powerfulscientific lens through which we
can understand how acupuncture,a therapy we offer here at
LifeWellMD, might be working topromote healing and well-being.
It's no longer just aboutbelief.
It's about understanding thebody's own intricate systems.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It really makes you wonder about the incredible
potential of the body that weare only just beginning to
understand, doesn't it?
It does.
This research encourages us tolook beyond conventional
explanations and embrace theexciting discoveries that
science is revealing about ourown innate healing capabilities.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
As you consider your own wellness journey.
We encourage you to think aboutthis new scientific perspective
