You cannot imprint frequencies of a regular electro-acupuncture treatment and expect it to work. regular electro-acupuncture works directly on the nerves whereas, Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) works directly on the magnetic field produced by the body. Totally different mechanisms. A good example of this is the frequency 100Hz. In electro-acupuncture, this frequency stimulates the releaseContinue reading “Some More on Imprinting Frequencies”

Moxa for Breech Baby
I was taught this in school and it does usually work. But Why? I found myself asking this question when I had a new patient asking for this treatment to avoid a cesarean. Now one answer could be that it is the autonomic nervous system’s response to putting heat as UB67. But I know ofContinue reading “Moxa for Breech Baby”
Taking the Mystery out of Acupuncture
Most acupuncturists use TCM language to explain how acupuncture works, using terms such as Qi, Elements, meridians, etc. Since most patients don’t know what those terms mean, they’re just as guilty as doctors in using Latin to confuse their patients. What’s worse is the acupuncturists themselves don’t really know how acupuncture works either. They areContinue reading “Taking the Mystery out of Acupuncture”
An Exception When Needling Ah Shi Points
Normally, you needle Ah Shi points different than Classical points. But I forgot to mention when that is not the case. In particular, when the tenderness at the point is not from damage but due to autonomic relationships to know how it should be needled. Maybe you were palpating for points on on one ofContinue reading “An Exception When Needling Ah Shi Points”
Making FSM Remedies Stronger
I found this out quite by accident. I had a patient who came in for a treatment who wanted a bottle of the Relax & Balance protocol to help her with her sleep. Since I usually ran it in person when she came in, I thought I could kill two birds with one stone byContinue reading “Making FSM Remedies Stronger”
Why do you see a degenerating disk near a history of an inflamed nerve root?
This is due to a charge related phenomena. The inflamed nerve root can cause the nearby disk to become polarized. This happens by the negative charge at the nerve root pushing away the electrons at the part of the disk nearest the inflammation (like charges repel). That makes that side of the disk nearest theContinue reading “Why do you see a degenerating disk near a history of an inflamed nerve root?”
What do you Think?
I’d like to know what you think of my website. So far I have not gotten any objections for any of my views. Do you have any? Or any comments at all? These are just my views on how acupuncture works from a scientific perspective. Is there anything I have not explained adequately? From myContinue reading “What do you Think?”
An Observation on Treating Very Sensitive Patients
I have two patients like this I am treating right now. For both of them I am just barely tapping the needle in or hardly putting it any further in. So, here I am stimulating the sympathetic nerve endings just under the skin. But I am getting the same effects I do wint a deeperContinue reading “An Observation on Treating Very Sensitive Patients”
Magnet Therapy
Magnets have been used to treat points and conditions for years, so I have to address this. The main explanation for how it works that I have heard or read about is that magnets attract iron and since iron is in red blood cells, it must work to increase blood flow. But legitimate research hasn’tContinue reading “Magnet Therapy”
My treatments
It is not my desire to tell you how to do my treatments here. You will have to buy the book or e-book for that. But I will describe them for you. Anti-Inflammation Electro-Acupuncture (AIEAC) This uses an electro-acupuncture machine and works a lot like a cortisone shot. It uses electricity instead of chemistry. LikeContinue reading “My treatments”
