'palm of person emitting Qi' Scientific af!

• xqyf 6y ago
  Replacing "Qi" with "tiny magnetic fields associated with physiological activities in the body," is there any truth to this?

    Why stop there? Replace it with "infrared radiation corresponding to a blackbody temperature of approximately 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit" and it's 100% supported by science.

  I was super skeptical of/confused by this also, still am, but they appear to be referencing this research which, if anyone can find any evidence of independent replication, I would love to know about: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1353653/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1353653/

    Wow from 1992. The three more that cited it were each from "The Journal of Alternative Medicine and choice Buzz Words," but one was from a more respectable journal testing the effects of spiritual healing on cancer cell lines in 2005. In short, not significantly different from the control. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16136029/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16136029/

  I think it's a joke, it's probably the same as palm of person waiting for a high five.
