The Mechanism of Antiviral Action with Acupuncture Based on COVID-19: Antiviral Action and Acupuncture

Abstract

The virus that created COVİD-19 is a pathogen that enters the cell, multiplies, spreads and creates pathology by disrupting the functioning of the body throughout the extracellular environment. The most important step in fighting this pathogen is to prevent the virus from entering the cell. The second step is to inhibit the polymerase enzyme to prevent it from multiplying in the cell, and in the third step, to form antibodies against the protein formed. In the current medical system, it is out of question to receive news from within the cell. The vascular, lymphatic and nervous systems have no connection with the intracellular environment. The acupuncture channel (meridian) system, also known as the primordial system, has intracellular extensions. And these extensions have a connection with the outside. In accordance with the concept of the new cell, the meridian system has an external relationship. Acupuncture treatment affects through these relations. However, a model describing the antiviral mechanism of action with acupuncture is not yet available. In this study, we tried to create such a model by making use of western medicine.
