Qigong - the Emulation of the Electric Eel's Bioelectric Generation via the Cyclic Stretching of Epithelial Cells in the Linings of Body Cavities and Organ Surface

Qigong - the Emulation of the Electric Eel's Bioelectric Generation via  the Cyclic Stretching of Epithelial Cells in the Linings of Body Cavities and Organ Surface

Qigong's deep breathing (stepwise/digital inhaling and holding) exerts mechanical stimuli  that are transduced into intracellular signals in lung alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) .  The mechanical stress is an important regulator of cell growth  and because extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)  are believed to be vital components of proliferative pathways

Qigong deep breathing pumps the main body's three cavities - the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavity to stretch the epithelial cells in the cavity linings and the internal organs, resulting in bioelectric generation via the piezoelectric effect and the cellular ion-channel depolarization.  The generated bioelectric pulses thus charge the dopamine nervous system via the vagus nerves.  The Qigong effectiveness on the brain and nervous function is better than drugs'.
Qigong stretching exercises stretch cells and provide a general means of altering protein conformation to generate signals.  Force-induced effects on conformation trigger the muscular endocrine mechanism in which enzymatic activity or protein interactions chemically mediate bioelectric signaling, in addition to depolarizing the afferent neuron producing an action potential with sufficient depolarization.
