If you have ever thought of having an acupuncture treatment but have not for fear of needles, there is no need to fear now. In a new form of treatment silicone chips are placed on the skin instead of piercing it with acupuncture needles.

How do the Silicone Chips Work?

When I first experienced the Nano chips on my skin I felt a tingling, hot sensation in each acupuncture body point where the chip rested. While the chip retained its coolness the body responded with the ebb and flow of heat and a feeling of relaxing buzz, similar to when Chi is activated with acupuncture needles. Dr. Xu, co-inventor of the Health Recovery Chips and a practitioner of acupuncture in Toronto, explained the process as the permeation of vibrational signals that flow through the designated acupuncture channels to blood, to the organs, muscles, to all the cells of the body.

What is Nano Technology?

Already widely used in many fields of applied science, nano technology facilitates the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale in order to construct devices or re-fashion materials within that scale. Using North American Nano technology as a basis, manufacturing experts in China have produced a health recovery system that mimics acupuncture with needle. The manufacturing process takes place on the minuscule levels where common materials are influenced so that their application can achieve definite results. Eight years in development, the research, design, manufacturing and testing process of the Nano health recovery method reached its goal of capturing the essence of what acupuncture needles initiate in a treatment. The company literature lists the Nano Acupuncture benefits as follows:

Safe Convenient Effective Simple Economical No side effects Needle free Portable

Acupuncture is a major part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which has been practiced in China for thousands of years. As a primary or secondary health system it is growing in all parts of the world in spite of the fact that science can not explain how it works. However, a documented research shows that during a treatment the brain releases endorphins which produce pain relief and a sense of relaxation (which in turn helps the body repair itself). Based on these results Acupuncture is now regarded as an astoundingly effective system of healing.

Hospitals using Nano Acupuncture in China

The Nano health recovery method is designed to be practiced according to the theory of Chinese Medicine. Tested by using double-blind studies, Nano chips are now a standard in a dozen hospitals in China, where the treatment results using them are found to be as beneficial as those using acupuncture needles. Here in the West, more and more Chinese Medicine practitioners are taking advantage of this non-invasive method, particularly for patients who fear needles. Also, in a busy clinic the Nano Chips can save time and expense for they are easy to apply and never lose their potency.

For a family and for all those who prefer using self healing energy, the Nano health system could be considered as a holistic multidimensional first aid kit. It comes with instructions and an acupuncture map booklet for various kinds of pain, flu, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other stress related illnesses.

Source: www.technologyreview.com The video shows 3000 bacteria maneuvering a V-shaped robot around via computer control. Researchers in Canada have created a solar-powered micro-machine that is no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. The tiny machine can carry out basic sensing tasks and can indirectly control the movement of a swarm of bacteria in the same Petri dish. Sylvain Martel, Director of the nanorobotics Laboratory at the École Polytechnique de Montréal, previously showed a way to control bacteria attached to microbeads using an MRI machine. His new micro-machine, which measure 300×300 microns and carry tiny solar panels, will be presented this week at ICRA ‘09 in Japan. On such a small device there is little room for batteries, sensors or transmitters. So the solar cell on top delivers power, sending an electric current to both a sensor and a communication circuit. The communication component sends tiny electromagnetic pulses that are detected by an external computer. The sensor meanwhile detects surrounding ph levels–the higher the ph concentration, the faster the electromagnetic pulses emitted by the micro-machine. The external computer uses these signals to direct a swarm of about 3000 magnetically-sensitive bacteria, which push the micro-machine around as it pulses. The bacteria push the micro-machine closer to the higher ph concentrations and change its direction if it pulses too slowly. This is more practical than trying to attach the bacteria onto the micro-machines, says Martel, since the bacteria only have a lifespan of a few hours. “It’s like having a propulsion engine on demand,” he says. Martel suggests that micro-machines could one day be used for medical purposes although there’s still a long way to go.

Nanotech Manufacturing

Single units of a nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nanotechnology in medicine makes use of nanometer sized chips to store and interprets high density quality information. It shows desired utility in accordance with pre-programmed instructions on target tissues. It is increasingly being applied to coax regulation of functional systems at the molecular level. This micro-miniature technology is increasingly finding its way to cure diseases with out the use of surgery. Most of our ailments are the external manifestations of damage caused at the cellular and molecular levels. Rectification to these damages can not be undertaken by conventional surgical instruments too large and crude for the cellular and molecular level manipulation.

Currently when much research is being carried out in cell biology and genetics at its basic precision and accurate level, the call of the hour is devising of a technology that is able to cater to the structure and functions at this level. The nanotechnology is being engineered to intervene as molecular-machines which are sophisticated and well controlled at the unit level. With the use of this technology the micro-molecules injected in the human body will be able to remove obstructions of any kind, function as sub cellular organelles, and kill cancer cells and much more. Nano engineers in Singapore have engineered a polymerized contact lens which is capable of will releasing small amounts of medicine to treat eye related ailments such as glaucoma.

The mechanism that will function behind nanotechnology at cellular level is by way of designing and erecting a programmable self-replicating manufacturing devise capable of identifying defective cells whilst circulating in the circulating system. These devices which are programmable and controllable can detect cancer cells by sensing differential environment between the normal cells and cancer cells and any other unwanted structures. Nanotechnology will be used to supply oxygen to tissues having minimized blood supply due to any of the blood loss reasons. Scientists at MIT have used an artificially synthesized polymer attached to a specific gene coding for the bacterial toxic. The polymer acts like a suicide bomber and attacks the altered cells and gradually destroys it in the process.

Drug delivery to the specific target cells with the help of nano sized particles is more efficient due to its enhanced properties of solubility and absorption when attached to a molecular carrier such as a polymer. The bio-chips making use of nanotechnology will also facilitate the scrutinizing of levels of biochemical in the blood stream and release suitable drug accordingly.

You hear nanotechnology used more and more often these days – and it has made some impact in everyday life. But the real change and payoff will occur much further down the road when real molecular manufacturing is possible.

Dr. Eric Drexler, author of Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation, has been pushing this field for twenty years, and it’s finally starting to go mainstream.

What Is Nanotechnology?

A nanofactory is Dr. Drexler’s concept for safe production of everyday objects from a desktop device that converts raw material molecules into finished products. In a matter of hours! Various predictions put the nanofactory in the 2020 to 2030 time-frame.

Once the basic capability exists to build large objects – such as a hand-held computer – from molecules and atoms, we will be able to build anything we want to build. This changes how life will be lived more than anything since the printing press.

How Will We Use Nanotechnology?

For example: Your health will be dramatically improved when your immune system has assistance in the form of intelligent virus detection capability. A tiny robot the size of a blood cell can add tremendous detection capability to your existing body immune system.

In a larger context, nanotechnology will allow the creation of incredibly strong materials that allow you to build such things as a global warming moderation system, or an asteroid defense system. Whereas such systems could be built now to some degree, those systems become cheap and readily available with the advent of nanotechnology.

Taking the meteor defense as an example, with today’s technology it would be a $500 million system to build something that could deflect a small meteorite from a collision course with the earth. It would be as complex as the International Space Station. Details of these systems are documented at NanoFuture2030.

Whereas with nanotechnology – and specifically with nanofactory manufacturing capability – you could:

send a fifty pound package to the moon, have that package mine its own resources from the surface of the moon, build a launch capability, throw completed spacecraft subsystems into orbit around the moon, and send that spacecraft off to an asteroid where it would set up, build, and implement a thrusting device on the asteroid that would move it away from a collision course with Earth.All this would occur without human intervention and without cost, other than the original package delivered to the moon.

This may sound like science fiction, but with nanotechnology in the mix, science will become much more powerful than anything we’ve seen so far.

Molecular Manufacturing Systems

Nanotechnology is a field of science and engineering whose ultimate aim is to build robots smaller than living cells with the ability to arrange individual atoms into any physically possible pattern. Put another way, the aim is total control of the structure of matter, rearranging it at will via molecule-sized machines to suit human purposes.

If you had a “nano-ray” what would you use it to do?
You would basically have gods power. Right?

Diamond Mechanosynthesis

What if there were Nanites that could eat gunpowder in bullets and literally scour the planet for weapons, knowingly when they were going to be misused. A sort of smart, bacteria-sized robots that could sniff out and destroy ammunition and nuclear warheads, as well as conventional explosives, even the blade of a knife in the wrong hands. Is this possible? Of course the creator of this technology, would have to have anti-Nano Ammo. But still hopefully the establishment of right and good, could actually eliminate killing through weapons.

Nanotech Manufacturer

20 to 200 yrs in the future depending on the circumstance of events. Pharmaceutical, Genetic, and Robotic company’s will merge together to create social standards a firm economic grip on the “free market” and spawn array positives and negatives into day to day life from what kinds of medications you will need for all the “new” virus that will spawn within days or months while both came from the same place, the virus and the vaccine, or replacement part for artifical limbs or power sources for such, both for economically positive and negative.

the very idea of human enhancements is a very interesting in his potentials on both positive to idea that it could enlighten humans biology, complex tasks, knowledge, but also very scary on how it could possibly be used for limitation and control, reprogramming nature and population for purposes bringing about a new age of dependency/slavery. a artificial evolution.

Imagine every day as if its your last…well what if that was the case, a virus designed so itructly that it would take hundred of yrs to dismantle and understand it. that you needed to take your medication or have your injection of whatever in order to survive because the human immune system had finally reached a state of complete understanding, that it now could be made into a fighting machine killing off anything that would harm the body at a price; or a weak, crippled, body unable to fight off even the human cold without the proper medication from the proper company who owns the patent or copyright to anti virus(with biomedical, genetic engineering or nano technology it is possible it is not a question of how because the how exist and why does to, but a question of when) . you would need that company or government to survive in essence creating a form of slavery in a system of complete dependency the laws would be enforced by microscopic police..

from a individual stand point being a extrovert and looking in. i can see most future generations disliking the idea of being human because to be human would be weak incapable of taking any sort daily tasks. self hatred would occur and self mutilation would occur in order to trade human limbs, in for something stronger out of evolutionary standards of artificial limbs, Controlled emotion(during wartime soldiers, police officers, even rioters would be subjected to no emotion or other degrees of emotion to help benefit psychological repercussions or social repercussions like civil unrest) controlled thinking( help people focus or distract people from fact or objective), controlled mobility(limitations on restricted areas {government buildings and complexes} and the mobility of moving through or around them or illegal if a illegal action takes place all limbs would fail to work, to help with rule of law). possible social classes would come from all of this if your poor you cant afford a artificial biological(limb or organ) substitute from a injury or life long handicap. a counter-culture will form from this copying or finding ways around it because where there is will there is a way and nature will have its way, one way or another. a advance stage of evolution could spawn out of this possibly to keep up with this self mutilation.

I just hope, because when there is nothing left there is always hope and faith. that we wont go to far, that we will reach a point where all human characteristics will be unrecognizable, that we will abandon the very natural things that make us who we are and forsake our humanity our ability to love for self hatred. when is far to far? anyways
