Using just a needle to relax a muscle is as simple as putting it in the belly of the muscle. That triggers a electro-chemical reaction that causes structured water to form around the needle and in surrounding tissue. that causes the sarcomere to lengthen, thus relaxing the muscle. This process is driven by infrared energy (heat) which is represent in the body. This process takes 5-15 minutes to reach equilibrium. Electro-acupuncture can override this effect depending on the frequency used.Using a low frequency (below 40 Hz) will tonify the muscle and increase muscle tone. But you cannot use too strong a stimulus and cause a sympathetic (stress) reaction. And using microcurrent is better. To Relax a muscle with electro-acupuncture, you need to use a frequency above about 80 Hz. I typically use 100 Hz to release endorphins as well. Of course, there are certain points that are associated with certain muscle groups and needling them usually will relax them if that is what is needed. Using just a needle and getting Qi on these points will usually relax the muscle. Whereas, on motor points, just needling them will cause the muscke to relax. You need electrical stimulation at the right range of frequencies to tonify and improve muscle tone.

One of my patients that I had previously treated in-person for Alzheimer’s is getting improved brain function with justremote treatments for other problems. The thing is, I now put a treatment for the mitochoondria at the beginning of every remote treatment I do. And that is what is correlating with his improvement! So, it seems that remotr treatments with my modifications can treat Alzheimer’s and is probably a preventive as well. It seems you do not need to do a dedicated in-person treatment, although it might work better/faster. Now you have much better reason to learn how to do remote treatments. You still can not claim a cure, but the next best thing so far.

Since heat is associated with inflammation and infection in Chinese Medicine, I got to thinking about how infection might be affected by acupuncture. In particular, how it might be related to/affected by charge. I had previously realized that negative charge is associated with inflammation so I wondered if might be treated the same way. I quickly realized that infection often causes an inflammatory reaction but other than that they are quite different. But upon further thinking, I realized that infection could be treated with charge but different than inflammation. So, let me espouse my thinking on the subject.

I first realized that pathogens such as viruses have to attach themselves to the cell wall first. From there it occurred to me that I could affect that process with charge. By supplying electrons to the area they would attach themselves to the positively charged parts of the pathogen and the cell wall. Thus, making it harder for the pathogen to attach itself to the outside of the cell. Then, it occurred to me that when you stick a needle anywhere, you will naturally have structured water form on its surface since it is hydrophilic. In the process hydrogen ions are released in the surrounding extracellular fluid. They would then possibly be attracted to the negative charge on the cell and pathogen surface. Further impairing the pathogen from attaching to the cell. So, by putting needles around the site of infection, you should see a slowing or stopping of the spread of the infection. In addition, the negative charge of the structured water should attract the positive charge on the pathogen surface thus keeping it from attaching to a cell. Hopefully, none of this will affect the antibodies from doing their jobs.

When we treat acne with microneedling we are doing this type of treatment since we were taught to needle AROUND the pimple and not directly on it (which would spread the infection). Now we have mechanisms why this helps.But you will not get the effects of the structured water since when microneedling the needles do not stay in the tissues long enough.

Acupuncture usually will not cause infections if you use sterilized needles. Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are solid and do not cut a plug of whatever they go through due to their hole. When going through the skin an acupuncture needle is actually wiped of debris by the skin.

Frequency specific microcurrent (FSM) thinks it works through some sort of resonance phenomena since it uses two specific frequencies, one for the tissue and one for the condition the tissue is experiencing. The problem comes from the way they actually perform the treatment. They use an “interferential” setup which causes the two frequencies to interact. Thus, the tissues actually see a signal that sweeps between F1 and F2 at the rate of FF2. Resonance is typically at a single frequency so the energy can build up in the resonating structure. Here, the tissues see a range of frequencies (between F1 and F2). But there is a way of looking at it that does make sense. When you use two different frequencies, when they interact there will be some places where a peak of F1 meets a trough of F2. At that point the two waveforms cancel out. That then creates a “scalar” wave (a scalar has a magnitude but no direction) of a unique frequency. The frequency will be unique to those two frequencies. I have shown by experimentation that biological systems are sensitive to scalar energy. So. Now we have an explanation that does use “resonance” but with a scalar. The so called “zero point energy” is a scalar too.This type of energy is little known or understood in physics or engineering. We are using it when we do remote treatments. And I think it is involved when we imprint on a liquid or a sticker as well as when we do treatments.

If you have been just diagnosed with cataracts and it hasn’t progressed far yet, You can stop the progression yourself easily. Eye doctors don’t know about this treatment and don’t want to know since they want you to get worse so they can give you cataract surgery. That is how they make money. But I can tell you how to do a treatment on yourself for free! And it is easy to do. Just put your finger tips on UB1 (the inner acanthus, where your tears come out) Hold them there with your eyes closed for 15-30 minutes daily. Your skin has both resistance and capacitance (electrical properties). The capacitance allows the skin to hold charge (like a solid state battery). The charge is from electrons which are negatively charged. Electrons are what constitutes the bonds that hold molecules together. Cataracts form as a result of the proteins that make up the lens falling apart. Those broken down proteins are what clouds your vision. As a result of this breakdown process, the area where it is happening becomes positively charged due to the lack of electrons (as do all degenerative processes). Since opposite charges attract, the electrons from your skin are attracted to the area. And since the negative charge is strongest in the hands and feet, you have plenty of electrons available to participate. Whatever chemical process is at work in the formation of cataracts will take the free electrons from your skin instead of pulling them from the protein of your lens (takes less energy). So ding this simple exercise can slow or stop the degenerative process of cataracts. I hope I have explained it well enough. The drug companies want you to buy a drug that can do basically the same thing. Something they can patent. But as I have explained, you can do it yourself for free.

I would like to emphasize that when needling Ah Shi points that are not that tender but are tender, you are better off needling them more shallowly than normal. That way you can get a slight anti inflammatory response at the point with just a needle.

This is something I have noticed in my own practice but no one else talks about. Have you noticed this too? This seems to haooen only with very sensitive patients. They will feel it when I first tap in the needle.Here, I just stimulated the sympathetic nerve ending just under the skin. Buteven if I don’t manipulate the needle any more, I will still get the parasympathetic effects of the point!. I haven’t heard Eastern or Western practitioners mention this phenomenon at all. A parasympathetic response from sympathetic stimulation. Very odd.Maybe the sympathetic stimulation is modulated by the amount/type of stimulation and is processed differently.

The properties of structured water explain why electro-osmosis works the way it does. Structured water forms automatically on any hydrophilic surface in the body driven by infrared energy (heat) which is always present. The formation of structured water causes a separation of charge where one molecule of water loses a hydrogen which then binds with another H2O to form H3O+. This positively charged water accumulates in the extracellular spaces (i.e. the meridians). Since opposite charges attract, the water will be attracted to negative charge. It is the hydrophilic surfaces on the walls of the cells that make up the meridians that causes the accumulation of charge in the first place. The positively charged molecules (which there are plenty of) will pull the rest of the water along with it. This explains the need for an extracellular matrix in electroosmosis. It also explains the water being attracted to negative charge.

The proposed title is “Treating with Charge: A New Way to Use Acupuncture and a New Understanding of another way Acupuncture Works”.

It covers the stuff you were not taught in acupuncture school since it is not a part of TCM. I cover new needling techniques and simple ways to treat inflammation and degeneration. Like usual, |I explain exactly how everything works and how to do everything correctly. The stuff related to the nervous system and brain chemistry is covered in my first two books. And again, it is more than you were taught.
