What puzzles scientists is that these points and meridians don't correspond to any biological system in the body. How, then, can sticking a needle into the ear, for example, affect a distant organ like the gallbladder? One possible explanation, for which the panel found "considerable evidence," is that acupuncture works at least in part by releasing opioids, natural morphine-like substances, into the central nervous system...
This real experience could be useful at the College, according to Garvin. For example, a student of organic chemistry could correspond with interns and doctors in the field to see how orgo has been useful to them...
...current controversy has some deep roots. Throughout the century, similar battles have been fought between those who emphasize the way letters and sounds correspond and those who emphasize whole words and stories.
