Abstract

Although Western medicine and Eastern medicine are worlds apart, there is a striking overlap in the basic principle of these types of medicine when we look at them from the perspective of energy. In both worlds, opposing forces provide the energy that flows through networks in an organism, which fuels life. In this concept, health is the ability of an organism to maintain the balance between these opposing forces, i.e., homeostasis (West) and harmony (East), which creates resilience. Moreover, strategies used to treat diseases are strikingly alike, namely adjusting the flow of energy by changing the connections in the network. The energy perspective provides a basis to integrate Eastern and Western medicine, and opens new directions for research to get the best of both worlds.

Highlights

  • Some people hope that, when their Earthly life is finished, they go to heaven and are spared from burning in hell

  • The hard energy damages every every molecule in the cell and is non-selective and inefficient in reacting with the thiol (SH) group on molecule in the cell and is non-selective and inefficient in reacting with the thiol (SH) group on KelchKelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), that switches on the Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), that switches on the Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway

  • An antioxidant can convert the hard energy into soft energy that gives little damage, but the soft energy is relatively efficient to react with KEAP1, switching on the Nrf2 pathway

Summary

Introduction

Some people hope that, when their Earthly life is finished, they go to heaven and are spared from burning in hell. What most people do not know is that we do not have to worry about burning in hell; we already burn on Earth. Most people think we need oxygen and that oxygen is essential for our life This is correct, but oxygen is highly reactive and toxic. This can be exemplified by the development of age pigments. Age pigments are burned proteins that our body cannot remove and accumulate and become toxic [1]. Another example is the burning of DNA that can give rise to cancer [2]
