In a live C‑News interview, host Laurent Geoffrin talks with Dr Nadia Volf, an acupuncturist‑physician and author of La Symphonie des méridiens du corps, about the role of acupuncture in the COVID‑19 pandemic. Dr Volf clarifies that acupuncture does not cure COVID‑19 but can strengthen the body’s own immune defenses. She explains the physiological rationale: stimulating specific acupoints—particularly the “thumb‑index valley” point on the Large Intestine meridian—activates nerve endings that boost salivary IgA and nasal mucosal immunity, thereby reducing the risk of respiratory infections. The conversation references several peer‑reviewed studies (e.g., articles in PAIN, ANZ, and large‑scale population trials) that report reduced infection rates and lower mortality in animal models when acupuncture points are stimulated. Dr Volf discusses how acupuncture can complement conventional treatments, enhancing drug efficacy (e.g., reducing morphine needs, potentiating antivirals) and supporting peri‑operative care and oncology patients. She advocates teaching a limited set of easy‑to‑use acupressure points for emergency situations (nosebleeds, vagal episodes) and even proposes inclusion in school curricula. Throughout, the host remains skeptical, prompting analogies (light switch) and probing the limits of efficacy, while Dr Volf emphasizes that the body possesses innate “bio‑energy” pathways (meridians) that can be activated through self‑care.
