Summary: Can the acupuncture make proof of a major engagement with respect to science and the critical thought? Can science accept in its centre an empirical discipline which plunges its roots in more than 4000 years, impregnated of a philosophy which modern medicine reproves ? The dichotomy exists, would not be that for example some practitioners work only with the traditional Chinese concepts of Yin and Yang, while others are based mainly on the Western neurophysiology. The technique can then intervene and why not, to conciliate this division of concepts in order to generate a mutual enrichment. Internet, by putting medical science with its fabulous bibliographic data banks at the range of all one each one, can only improve the practice of any impregnated acupuncturist of Chinese traditional Medicine. And we will see through this talk how medicine can only find grown, by exploring a considerable side scientifically of a medicine which crossed millennia.
