Could TCM (most specifically, acupuncture, but any other aspect as well) be used to produce anabolic effects similar to those of steroids or HGH? Perhaps by inducing the body to increase its own HGH production? How might one do this?

Could the output of endorphins be similarly increased, for both pain tolerance/relief and euphoric effects? Similar with other mood-altering body chemistry? How?

Are there ways to make oneself resistant, or more resistant to Dim Mak attacks (suspending any scepticism about Dim Mak for the purpose of this exercise)? How?

I ask out of curiosity, rather than any desire to follow such paths (i'm not exactly worried about imminent dim Mak attack, either )

Thanks sincerely in advance for any insights.
