“The consequences are profound if the American Cancer Society and others are getting it wrong regarding the dramatic increase in cancer in young people.”
Science Diplomacy?
Science diplomacy is a relatively new term, referring to the benefits of both diplomatic relationships, and cross-border shared science, especially relative to global challenges.
Nonetheless, the United States has systematically denied the implications of Russian EMF research, as well as some of its own recent and historical studies of radio frequency radiation and electromagnetic fields, including implications for cancer.
Agreement signed in 1976 by the United States to ignore Russian research and health findings in favor of military and industrial output:
“If the more advanced nations of the West were strict in the enforcement of stringent exposure standards, there could be unfavorable effects on industrial output and military functions.”
Speaking of Cancer
The American Cancer Society has just referenced a report identifying alarming increases in cancers, including deaths, in Millennials and GenXers.
The American Cancer Society points to obesity as a possible underlying cause.
What if they have it all wrong?
What if we are overlooking something obvious, right in front of us, right at the tips of our fingers?
What if Chinese Medicine could help us end this health disaster?
Missing the Message of Olympic Massage: Energy Pathways
There are a few articles “making the rounds” in the mainstream media about round bruises clearly visible on the bodies of Olympic swimmers. The bruising is explained by the press as being caused by an Asian massage technique known as “cupping.” Swimmer Michael Phelps brought widespread attention to the phenomenon during the Rio Olympics in 2016.
(See photographs here: https://talksport.com/olympics/1986450/dark-circles-athletes-swimmers-bodies-back-marks-bruises-cupping/ )
But in the last 8 years, since Rio, Western society still has not learned much about the practice and its implications, as exemplified in an article by Eurosport.
The article quotes ‘health experts’ who imply that the benefits may be “in the head” “because it makes the athletes feel better.”
“Despite anecdotal evidence from athletes, the scientific community remains divided on the benefits of cupping. Studies have shown mixed results, with some suggesting minor improvements for conditions like neck or back pain, while others find no significant impact. Harvard Medical School said the evidence is too limited to make any firm conclusions. Pharmacologist professor David Colquhoun, from University College London, dismissed the technique to the BBC as just a bit of skin pulling that wouldn’t affect the muscle much. He said: “It’s what [British physician] Ben Goldacre would call – a voluntary tax on the gullible.” But many athletes along with celebrities like Gwenyth Paltrow, Justin Bieber and Jennifer Anniston seem to publicly endorse this form of massage therapy. And if Olympians think cupping makes them feel better, it could. The mind is one of the most powerful tools an athlete can wield during the Games. – SOURCE
What if it is Not ‘in the Head’ But in Unseen Electromagnetic Pathways?
Individuals with some background in the Meridian System of Chinese Medicine may be aware that cupping is not “in the mind/head,” nor would it be appropriately evaluated “in the muscles.” Cupping has a foundation in an ancient science-based paradigm that mapped out electromagnetic pathways and activation points in the human energy field (and in animals as well) that we in the West have yet to understand.
Swimmers Shoulders
‘Experts’ Harvard Medical School, Pharmacologist professor David Colquhoun, and British physician Ben Goldacre (quoted in the cupping article) imply that the effects of cupping are either non-existent or imaginary.
Are Western experts quoted in the media not consulting the correct science-based paradigm?
And, is this an enduring expression of intellectual arrogance and cultural prejudice towards accumulated wisdom for which the West has no knowledge?
Small Intestine 11: Shoulder Blade
If the photographs of the cupping locations in swimmers are compared to the pathway of the Small Intestine Meridian in Chinese medicine, do new understandings arise?
Activation of Small Intestine 11 for Olympic swimmers is a case in point.
A detailed explanation (including the evocative name, and applications for points) is available to Westerners, in reference books, and on –line, for example, here, for each point location on the Small Intestine’s pathway. Point locations possess specific qualities.
The acupuncture point “SI 11” , 天宗, is represented by “Tian Zong” in pinyin and “Celestial Gathering” in English. Of many possible clinical applications, it may be considered to influence the following issues/symptoms: Breast problems, mastitis, insufficient lactation, breast pain. Emotional issues, anxiety that presents with asthma, expands and relaxes the chest, asthma generally. Local point for channel pain within the shoulder, scapula region, elbow, arm, face and jaw. A single acupuncture point is not commonly thought of as an empirical way to influence a TCM diagnostic pattern. SI11, however, is a strong candidate to be incorporated into an acupuncture protocol for patients who exhibit: Liver Qi Stagnation and/or Lung Qi Deficiency. SOURCE
It seems obvious that activating the Lungs would support athletic prowess, but what is a Meridian?
How is it that a point on the Small Intestine Meridian would affect the Lungs?
Generally speaking, in the Western mainstream medical model and media, and in our daily lives, we have no idea. Yet. For householders in many Asian cultures, this is not the case.
Applying Expertise in Energy Medicine
The ancient Chinese seers were not focused on cultivating Olympic athletes. Although point description translations apply to symptom treatment, if one views the lines of energy that correlate to these pathways and to the related energetic fields, it is not difficult to imagine that they might help to activate, enhance, and stimulate athletic power – if we knew how.
Systems Analysis: Yoga
When yoga was brought to the West, in many cases, it was taken out of its context and assimilated only in parts, primarily the physical exercises. Increased flexibility was the perceived result.
Despite the fact that yoga was providing benefits to many practitioners, an understanding of the overall energetic framework was missing in many American traditions. Posture flows were prescribed in an autocratic method by Indian masters without explanation, and/or teachers developed their own styles.
When my colleague Daniel Orlansky began juxtaposing yoga poses with the meridians, an ancient paradigm revealed itself. The poses could be classified by the meridians activated, and the poses could be practiced in an orderly and intentional fashion for increased benefit, to bring harmony to the entire energy system.
The science behind the exercise forms came alive. (This experience of pattern recognition and transcendent thinking via one’s own direct experience, in fact, alters brain development in a beneficial way, as described in this study.)
What does all of this have to do with cancer?
The Energetic Implications of 17 Increasing Cancers
It might seem insignificant to the mass culture that some competitive athletes have accessed an unusual, foreign, bruising form of bodywork that may have an impact on their performance, especially with the media implying that it’s “In their heads.”
But the consequences are profound if the American Cancer Society and others are getting it completely wrong regarding the dramatic increase in cancer in young people.
MSNBC: “Cancer rates in millennials, Gen X-ers have risen starkly in recent years, study finds. Experts have 1 prime suspect.”
“Experts are sounding the alarm as rates of 17 types of cancer in millennials and Gen X-ers have risen dramatically in recent years, a new study shows. For certain cancers, people born in 1990 face two-to-three times the risks that those born in 1955 did, according to the research published in the journal Lancet Public Health. The findings echo the recent worrying rise in young people developing colorectal cancer, but add more forms of the disease to the list of concerns.” []
Researchers with the American Cancer Society (ACS) assessed rates of 34 different cancers among those born between 1920 and 1990, based on how many were diagnosed with or died of the disease from 2000 to 2019.
On average, the rates of 17 types of cancer, including pancreatic, breast and gastric cancer, have risen with each new generation since 1920, the study found. Previous ACS research had shown that rates of 11 cancers, including pancreatic, colorectal, kidney, uterine and testicular cancer, had been increasing among young adults. The new study added eight more types of cancer to that list:
Gastric cardia cancer (a cancer of the stomach lining)
Cancer of the small intestine
Estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer
Ovarian cancer
Liver and bile duct cancer
Non-HPV-associated oral and pharynx cancer (only in women)
Anal cancer (only in men)
Kaposi sarcoma (a cancer of the blood vessel lining and lymph nodes, only in men)
Rates doubled or even tripled for some of these cancers, including kidney, pancreatic and small intestine cancers, in people of either gender. For women, liver cancer incidence has increased two- to threefold since the 1920s. Even cancers that seemed to be in decline for baby boomers and other older generations — including some breast cancers and testicular cancer — are now a greater risk again to millennials and Gen X-ers, the study found.
More young people are dying of some of these cancers as well; mortality from colorectal, gallbladder, testicular and uterine cancers has increased over the generations, as has the fatality rate of liver cancer, but only for women. “That really stood out because the concurrent increase in mortality [and diagnoses] suggests that what we see is not just an artifact due to potentially more frequent screening and diagnosis,” lead study author and senior principal scientist of surveillance and health equity science with ACS, Hyuna Sung, tells Yahoo Life. “Instead, it indicates a genuine increase in risk, with the increases in incidence sufficient to outpace improvements” in diagnostics and treatment.
While the new study doesn’t answer why this is happening, Sung and other experts have a prime suspect in their sights: obesity. Ten out of 17 of the cancers that are becoming more common over the generations have been linked to obesity, the study authors noted.” – SOURCE
NBC News reported, “Gen X, millennials face higher risk of 17 cancers than older generations Researchers aren’t sure why but say a combination of factors, including obesity, more sedentary behavior, common medications or chemical exposures, is possible.”
“A study published Wednesday in Lancet Public Health found that Gen X and millennials are more likely to be diagnosed with 17 types of cancer, including nine that had been declining in older adults. Researchers aren’t sure why, but say obesity is likely a leading cause.”
“Rates of colorectal cancer — one of the 17 types — have been rising among younger people for decades, a troubling trend that sparked investigation into other types of cancer.”
Sung and her colleagues used cancer diagnosis and mortality data from two databases –– the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics –– to analyze cancer trends in people born between 1920 and 1990, who were diagnosed with cancer between 2000 and 2019.
The data included 34 types of cancer, nearly 24 million diagnoses and more than 7 million deaths. To get a better view of how cancer diagnoses and mortality rates changed in groups of people born around the same year — called a birth cohort — the researchers grouped people by birth year in five-year intervals. For example, people born in 1920 through 1924 were all one birth cohort.
Seventeen of the 34 cancers had increasing incidence in younger people. The risk was two to three times higher in people born in 1990 for pancreatic, kidney and small intestine cancers, compared to people born in 1955. Liver cancer diagnoses in women followed the same pattern.
“The most important thing it tells us is there is something that changed for the group of individuals born after this period of time. They have been exposed to some environmental or lifestyle factor that is leading to this shift,” said Dr. Andrea Cercek, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who was not involved with the research. []
“All of these cancers are linked to the obesity epidemic. We know that’s the second-leading cause of cancer right now, behind tobacco use,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Oncology and Epidemiology Johns Hopkins University, who was not involved with the new study.
About 20% of cancer diagnoses in the U.S. are linked to excess body weight, according to the American Cancer Society. Obesity rates in the nation changed little in the 1960s and 1970s but increased sharply after that. About 13% of adults had obesity in 1980, compared to 34% in 2008, according to data from the Surgeon General. []
If obesity is a culprit, it’s likely one of several lifestyle and environmental factors that is leading to the rise. Other factors could be more sedentary behavior or something in the food or the water, common medications or chemical exposures or chemical agents, the experts said.” – SOURCE

The Promise of Applying Meridian Science to Cancer (and Neurological Deaths, and Childhood Illnesses)
We have the potential to reconsider the rise in certain cancers, including and especially impacting individuals of reproductive ages, within the context of knowledge that is available to us regarding meridians and electromagnetic fields, from both China and Russia.
We have the blueprints.
It seems logical that in order to determine if manmade artificial electromagnetic fields are interfering with health, that we would want to monitor the Meridians.
Looking at the image of the Large Intestine Meridian and the issue of colon cancer, are there implications for the meridian starting at the tip of the index finger, and the electromagnetic fields that are being introduced into the body via texting and using a computer mouse?
See #1 on the image. There may be no connection, but we have not bothered to ask.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields are being explored to treat cancer, in part because of the impact on the cell walls, as noted here. Why have ubiquitous exposures not been studied or regulated for adverse effects on human health and the environment, despite reported harm?
We are holding an unsubstantiated assumption about safety.
Obesity as a Symptom and Not as a Cause?
The Spleen/Pancreas, which is responsible for distributing chi to the different organ systems, may be one of the most vulnerable to electromagnetic pollution, along with the Kidneys, which are akin to batteries.
How does this relate to cancer rates?
The study’s authors propose that obesity may be contributing to the dramatic rise in cancer rates, (although only linked in 20% of the cancer cases)
There is another possibility – that obesity is a symptom, related to Spleen/Pancreas electrical pollution, and not a cause. Dr. Jack Kruse is one of the experts who proposes that obesity as well as blood sugar alterations are being caused by exposures to artificial electromagnetic fields, perhaps in an effort to insulate and protect the body? (Wide-ranging interview with Dr. Jack Kruse and the Power Couple here).
Attorney Dafna Tachover also spoke of the phenomenon nearly a decade ago when she became EMF injured.
Not all “in the Head” – and the Derogatory Use of the Word
Cupping wasn’t codified to support Olympic athletes, and the benefits of cupping can’t be quantified by using an overlay of the West’s limited understanding of massage.
The mainstream media and medical experts have downplayed the idea that cupping actually provides any benefit to athletes, implying that it may be “all in their heads.”
Unfortunately, this is not the only example of this dismissive attitude. Complaints of injury caused by exposures to wireless exposures, dirty electricity, electric fields, and magnetic fields have been denied and ignored for decades, in favor of the military industrial complex that has increasingly turned in on its own citizens via surveillance, akin to an auto-immune disease.
The Gall Bladder Meridian and Health
When I look at an image of an Olympic track and field sprinter at the starting blocks, I immediately envision the Gall Bladder Meridian in a deep contraction. The Gall Bladder meridian’s energy enables a hockey player or soccer player to anticipate which way the opponent is going to move, from right to left. The reaction is faster than the speed of a thought processed through the conscious mind.
It operates on the same energy that allows a school of fish to move together.
In the West we have failed to recognize the need to recognize, cultivate and safeguard these frameworks.
Gall Bladder Meridian and Health Damages
When I look at the Gall Bladder Meridian image and note the way that the pathway wraps around the skull, I also see the basis for the many symptoms being reported due to technological overreach, in this case, harm associated with smart meters.
I see hip and knee pain, and headaches, and brain fog, and eye pressure, and a brain that is unable to detoxify – all of which can lead to disease, dysfunction, and the demand for medications and surgeries that do not address the underlying cause.
Looking further, I also see breast tumors on the right side, perhaps because of so much right-handed mouse use, in addition to colon cancers.
I see major postural deviations from individuals hunched over devices, compressing the lungs and heart.
Why have so many people needed to have their gall bladder surgically removed? Is this any wiser than the routine and uninformed removal of tonsils in the 1960s? Or, is removing the organ akin to taking the light bulb out of the car’s dashboard warning light?
Another View of Fight or Flight
I have a theory, which is that the Gall Bladder is an electrical bodyguard, designed to directionally detect a hazard found in nature – a lightning strike.
The alarm system is worn out.
The term “fight or flight” was coined as a response to war (and studying male soldiers.)
Early Western studies of stress did not emerge from mystics seeking to determine how to become more efficient and effective conduits of the Cosmic Current.
A chronically over-charged, time-stressed society is not aware of the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, nor does it possess a roadmap for recognizing symptoms of imbalance.
Cancer and infertility are very “late lessons from early warnings.”
The ancient Chinese culture developed expertise in Meridians for self-care and householder use, and identified and addressed energetic imbalances before they manifested as illnesses. They used natural methods including massage, pressure points, meridian tracing, herbs, medicinal foods, stretching, visualization, and meditation, and accessed care via experts only when needed. This could also become our cultural and familial inheritance.
Recognition of the brain’s glymphatic system, and chronobiology, are only in their infancy in the West, but were recognized thousands of years ago in the East.
What if an Eastern based mind -body practice can offer self-diagnostic and self-corrective strategies, through embodied observation.
Can self-care and skilled support of loved ones, without technology, be reclaimed?
Do we line up behind the promise of life on Mars via extreme resource consumption and artificial energy expenditure, or do we decide to learn how to harmonize our bodies with the Cosmos, here on Earth, using our inborn lifeforce and birthright, to master the lessons and receive the gifts of our own unique incarnation?
As Peter Levine observed, “In a herd of deer, we need some super-sensitive ones. They are the ones that will hear that teeniest little crack or smell the one or two molecules of scent from the mountain lion that’s stalking them. Their job is to use their hyper-sensitivity to alert the whole group.” Some individuals are like the dogs who warned sheep herders of an approaching storm.
Seventeen increasing cancers in younger generations is more than an alert, It’s an emergency.
Will we rethink our wireless dependencies and resulting demands on the environment?
In my opinion, if we are not willing to look at the RF/EMF issue, relative to cancer, to the Gall Bladder, to obesity, to childhood diseases and device addictions, to chronic illness, and to skyrocketing neurological death rates, we need to have our heads examined.

Will we rethink our wireless dependencies and resulting demands on the environment?"
Lots of heads need to be examined, for sure.
