Acupuncture as effective energy medicine-- This question is very hard for me to answer because i the term "energy medicine" is so vague. There are probably as many definitions of "energy medicine" as there are people in the world. Even just the term "energy" can be debated about endlessly let alone the debates that arise when you tack on the word "medicine" to it. So how does one begin to address this question without writing a book (that in the end would solve little on the matter)? Well, i typed "definition of energy" into google, than randomly clicked a link. This is what i got randomly, which is as good as a choice as any, energy is a scalar physical quantity that describes the amount of work that can be performed by a force. So if i start there i would say Acupuncture is an effective form of "EM". But on second thought, acupuncture really isn't quantitative, it is more qualitative and although energy does possess qualitative properties it is considered a quantitative substance to the scientist. hmmmm, guess i need to think more about this before i finish defining energy medicine for the human race...lol
What conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography? Kirliam photography documents some form of substance that is emitted and changes in conjunction with ones past present and future. what that something is is hard to say. But is sure is amazing to see a piece of technology that merges the scientific mind with the ethereal.
Human intent as it affects health--All i have to say here from a western perspective is to look at cancer studies that are done on intent. Its pretty obvious that intent is a factor. or maybe you can even look to speech patterns for an example. i can say the words "come on" with different intent and it will change what those words mean. one way is saying "come with me" the other is saying "i don't believe you. same words, different intent, way different meaning. My intent alters the outcome of the phrase through my vocal tone. another example; i can shake your hand to say hello or i can hold acu-points on your hand to induce qi flow. same basic action different outcome. The points on the body are just "ways in". What you do once you get in has much to do with intent.
I wonder when we decided anything outside our skinbag was ethereal (obscure, unproven, etc). Was there some collective agreement about that? I suppose Christianity had something to do with it but wasn't the idea initially incredibly preposterous? Did some of our ancestors come under threats? By whom? Makes me think of the Catholic missionaries in South and Central America... how did they ever convince such a large group of people of something so foreign and by their standards base and certainly one dimensional? Santeria served to protect the ancestor's ways by dressing them up in saints' clothing. Was there such a thing in the west--even just a trickling vein, somewhere? Was Catholicism so thorough as to subdue all evidence in my Irish ancestors? They whose kings used psychadellic mushrooms to go into trance for divination/ future telling, and whose word for whisky means "water of life"...seems doubtful, no? I suppose there are some pagans and druids out there, but it seems to me they are a watered down, post-major-suppression version, having adopted even the language of the Christians ("soul", etc.). Maybe someday people will tire of this view, as it has created an awfully boring existence for itself.

You are right about intention manifesting in the tone of our voice and how that changes meanings and delivery.
