Dear all can someone explain me eg, a man with no hand(s) or no leg(s), still have all the meridians on his body?

This general discussion has been had many times on the site - you can read a previous reply of mine here.
Long story, short, their body still functions and acupuncture can be used with appropriate modifications. The meridians as most lay people learn them are but one part of the communication networks in the body that acupuncture utilizes. People with missing limbs can be treated effectively with properly tailored acupuncture, just as anyone else.
