Could you show the evidence to the contrary?
Also, potentially beneficial effects of acupuncture do not imply anything about the existence of qi.
- djtriptych 11y agoDepends on what you mean by existence? Detectable by modern instrumentation? What if Qi is an extremely useful system of mental organization, allowing practitioners to fine-tune their own body's operation. There is plenty of evidence that this is possible (see mindfullness / trancendental meditation) which have concrete isomorphisms (so to speak) to the concept of Qi.
