I have been offline for a while and did just check out the thread on "armpit-".While various ppl may feel this subject has been chewed to death (I have witnessed these death touch threads)
I think it is always good to have things settled down for good so nothing gets passed on and pondered on.
If you are concerned about something,I encourage you to go ahead and speak out.
Some things to consider about this issue/myth:
What is "dim mak"? Death touch.
What is death touch in plain language? Manipulation of vital points.
What are vital points? Anatomically vulnerable structures of human body,namely "pressure points" in this case.
What are pressure points? In death touch,pressure points are/can be based upon acupressure/puncture points found in oriental/Chinese medical system.
Is there a difference between acupuncture -and pressure points? Not necessarily,you can refer to both of these.It may be more natural to refer to pressure (or nerve) points in martial arts enviroment.
What do these points do? In related medical system,these points are believed to be linked to various meridians/energy channels of human body trough which life bringing vital energy moves trough.This energy can be affected trough these specific points.
Does this theory find support from modern medicine/science? Not really.Physiological basis is rather low.It should be considered though that some neuroscientifical/medical analysis has shown that these points believed to be linked to meridians and energy can be actually linked to areas of connection by neural (nervous) connections.
Is there more to these points or other points? It is worthy to notice that acupoints of oriental theory recognized as points for death touch can actually be also found reliable in modern medicine and explained by reliable terms.
How often this is the case? Hard to say,probably in various instances AS LONG as there is real physiological basis for such (in this case,we are going beyond written anecdotes to objective understanding)
Can you explain in some more detail?
Yes.While it has been noticed that if we take all texts into account it becomes hard to track down places from human body for which there is no point.You can notice an energy related explanation of how a certain point causes effects,you may take some time to find out whether this point is actually related to vulnerable nerve,artery etc. for which there was very little understanding in the old days (please consider that it took some time for somewhat correct physiology of blood circulation to be accepted at 1600´s)
Are you saying this is a myth?
Not necessarily a myth,just exaggerated with strange lining.
Is this for real?
