In this segment of Dr. Betty Murray’s YouTube video, she highlights a striking claim from acupuncture research: stimulating the Bladder 67 point on the little pinky toe triggers activation in the brain’s visual cortex, as shown by 3‑D functional MRI. She further notes that the neural response time from this toe stimulation is reported to be about 200 times faster than the response generated by direct light entering the eye. Murray presents these findings as compelling evidence for the potency of energy medicine, emphasizing the surprising speed and specificity of the effect.

The farthest point from the, from the eyes, the little pinky toe, Bladder 67, it's called, is known to affect the eyes, right? And you think to yourself, what does a little pinky toe have anything to do with the eyes? You know, but yet when they stimulate that point with an acupuncture needle, they can do a 3D functional MRI and actually see that part of the brain fire up that has to do with vision, right? And that's like, wow, that's amazing. But what's even more amazing is, is that If you measure the speed of what that— how that happens, if you do like light to the eye and look for that same stimulus, it gives like nanoseconds, right? But when you stimulate the acupuncture point and measure the length of time that it takes to stimulate the brain in the same area, it is 200 times faster to do an acupuncture point on the little toe. And it's like, wow, that's energy medicine.
