Acupuncture
Is An Electromagnetic Therapy |
The process of acupuncture is to bring Orgonic
electromagnetic energy (EME) (see "Orgone Energy"
in this section) to specific locations on the body via skin
stimulation either by non-puncture skin stimulation devices
or via acupuncture needle place in the skin. The skin
functions like an electromagnetic energy collector (solar collector)
and supplies the entire body with EME along 12 pairs of major
electromagnetic highways known as acupuncture meridians.
Skin stimulation comes in the form of two major methods: non-puncturing
skin devices, such as skin brushing and puncturing
skin devices, such as acupuncture needles. The
acupuncture devices have a broad range of shapes and sizes but
the ones most used by the riders are known as Acupuncture Skin
Rollers (see below). You can also stimulate the skin through
a simple self-help remedy known as "Skin
Brushing".
The acupuncture needles are placed into the skin and function
like antennas to bring in Orgone electromagnetic energy to that
specific part of the body. The needles, once placed can
be rotated counter clockwise and clockwise. Counter Clockwise
rotation decreases the total amount of Orgonic EME collected
by the needle antenna. And clockwise rotation increase
the total amount Orgonic EME collected by the needle antenna.
There are two fundamental types of skin puncture acupuncture:
Ashi and Patterns. Ashi acupuncture is used
for acute problems, such as trauma. And Patters
are used for chronic problems and direct the Orgone EME along
the acupuncture meridians all over the body. Next, let's look
at the commonly used acupuncture devices by the riders known
as Acupuncture Skin Rollers.
There are small Electro-Acupuncture boxes (battery & 110vots
operated) units with small wire leads which can be attached
to the needles to boost the electrical imput. These boxes
are used for difficult cases and to numb or anesthetize body
areas for surgery.
Acupuncture Skin Stimulation
If you do not have one of these non-puncturing acupuncturing
skin devices in your home treatment toolbox, used for self-help,
I strongly suggest that you get one.
Skin Brushing, Loofah Brushing, & Hair Brush Brushing
The purpose and benefits from using skin brushing, Loofah brushing,
and hair brush brushing daily or during the therapeutic bath
includes:
1. Activation of the skin's healing mechanism
2. Deeper skin massage and stimulation
3. Acupuncture skin stimulation
4. Faster and better healing response by the body
Remember that the skin brushing, Loofah brushing, and hairbrush
brushing can also be used many times a day outside of the bath
therapy to help and assist the body’s healing mechanism.
The Skin Brush
The Loofah
The Hair Brush
Note the rounded bristle tips on the
hairbrush that function like that of a skin acupuncture stimulator
The skin brush and the loofah are the best two performing non-skin
puncture acupuncture stimulation methods to date. Where the
hairbrush has the additional benefit of acupuncture stimulation.
They will not only allow you to fix problems better and faster
but they will help you prevent problems from happening, as well.
See our Skin Brushing book.
They are the three best performing acupuncture skin stimulating
self-help treatment tools to date. The skin brush is perhaps
the easiest to find and use. Most health food stories,
K-Mart & Wal-Mart generally carry them. As you begin
to use them you will not only discover how fast old and new
injuries heal but how must better the quality of healing is.
You will also discover that this daily action greatly improves
your resistance to new injuries servicing as a prevention methods,
as well. See our bookstore for more details.
These self-treatment tools are one of the most beneficial pieces
of individual self-help healing equipment available today. I
can't say enough great things about the skin brushing applications
of healing better and faster. It is a athletic performance
advantage all in its self. It can be used before and after
high stress athletic activities, as well as, to shorten the
healing time following injuries. Its performance and results
speaks for itself. It has given that additional needed edge
in maximum physical performance both for output and endurance.
It can be successfully used for any one or more of the following:
1. Makes muscles instantly stronger
2. Improves both muscle and joint flexibility gaining both mechanical
advantage and leverage
3. Reduction and/or the removal of muscle congestion, pump-up,
and
soreness that follows muscle activity
4. Reduces and/or removes muscle spasms, cramps, soreness
stiffness, tenderness, and pain
5. In injury rehabilitation to both improve and shorten the
healing time
6. Reduces pain, tenderness, soreness, stiffness to involved
areas
7. Improves muscle performance and endurance |
| Crossover & Over-Flow Stimulations |
By exercising the good side, arm or leg,
the nervous system will provide a 20% cross over stimulation
to the injured side, arm, or leg. Two unique neurological processes
within the body's healing system are known as:
1. "Over-flow" is a unilateral influence (exercising
the injured side,
arm, or leg)
2. And "Crossover" is the bilateral influence (exercising
the good
side, arm, or leg).
The Green Zones
The "Green Zones" is the pain free range of motion
(see video tape).
The Red Zone
Red Zones is the painful range of motion of the injured extremity
(see video tape). Remember to always exercise in the "Pain
Free Zones" and overflow will decrease the size of the
pain zone (red zone)
Crossover
Crossover in an excellent build-in automatic body re-educational
program. By working the good extremity, in a particle or full
range of motion, the body produces a 20% stimulate improvement
to the bad extremity condition.
Over Flow
Over Flow is the exercising of the enveloped extremity only
in the green zone. This green zone exercising will produce an
overflow into the red zone without actually working in the red
zone. And this exercising action will improve the full range
of motion of the injured extremity by decreasing the size of
the red zone or painful area (see video tape). Exercise in the
pain free zone only. Pain is an indicator that you are hurting
the area again.
Caution
Let the overflow work by exercise outside the Pain and Tenderness
Zones (above or below pain zone). Never exercise in zones of
pain or tenderness.
Facilitation
Fast movement with little to no resistance is considered facilitation
(neurological) pump-up. This process works well to improve the
nerve innovation to the area. Facilitation can be incorporated
either unilateral (side of involvement) or contra-lateral (opposite
side of involvement)
Itching Means A Better Quality Of Healing
Itching is a natural healing response mechanism produces by
the body's healing programming. When the itching response is
produces the individual scratches the area. Scratching continues
until the response is satisfied. The scratching action produces
a localized physiological healing chemical action that provokes
inmorphins, incaplins, nutrition, blood flow and other body
healing chemistries to be released, produces, or brought into
the area.
In injuries, the itching response can be provoked more fully
by vibrators and satisfied more effectively by the use of an
acupuncture roller stimulator. The itching response must be
continually stimulated two to four times daily at a minimum
for at least four days following its initial excitement to fully
activate it. Following the first four days stimulation can be
reduced to once or twice daily but must be continued for four
weeks.
The initial itching response is one of the reliable indicators
that the body is initializing its healing mechanisms and stepping
up its tissue regeneration phase to hypertrophy. |
| USAGE & OPERATION |
Brush the skin brushing tool back and forth
over the involved area using a comfortable brushing pressure.
It helps to move the joint and/or muscle group in and out of
the tight, sore, or stiff position while brushing. As you will
see below, it is a simple three-step process.
CAUTION
Do not use a painful rolling pressure, but rather, one that
feels comfortable to the touch and to the sensitivity levels
of the involved skin area/s.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. First, rub the skin brush applicator back and forth over
the opposite
side of the involved area
5 to 10 times (crossover stimulation).
Then, rub the skin brush applicator back and forth
above, below,
and to the right and left
sides of the involved area while avoiding
the involved site (overflow stimulation) side of the involved
area
5 to 10 times.
And then, rub the skin brush applicator back and
forth over the
involved site or area 5 to 10 times.
2. Second. Now stop the brushing process and move the muscle
through its range of motion 3 to 5 times
3. Third, repeat procedures one and two above 3 to 5 times each
application for maximum stimulation.
You may use the skin brushing techniques as often as you wish
over the involved area or areas, as long as it continues to
produce improvement to those area/s.
However, if the skin brushing techniques produce pain or discomfort,
discontinue their use.
If the condition doesn’t make the improvement progress
normally expected or if the symptoms persist, consult a physician.

| Next, Let’s answer some
commonly ask questions about skin puncture acupuncture (Needles)
|
Qt. What is Acupuncture?
Ans. Discovered by the Chinese acupuncture is one of the oldest
methods of nature health care. The Chinese teach us that
there are bio electro-magnetic energy points all over the body.
These points are called "Acupuncture points". They
can be located with a special instrument that measures electrical
resistance and surface temperature of the skin. As the Chinese
mapped out these Acupuncture points they found that all these
points were connected together by common pathways, which they
named "Meridians". In all, the Chinese located 24
of these meridians. Further investigation found that there were
identical right and left sided meridians, thus meaning they
were paired. These 12 meridian pairs were named for the major
organs they passed through. Some organs had positive charges,
which the Chinese called Yang organs, and the others had negative
charges, which they called Yin organs.
The Chinese believe that when there is an imbalance of these
positive and negative charges (Yang & Yin) or a disturbance
in the bio electro-magnetic energy along a meridian, it allows
a body part to become weakened and allows a disease process
to onsets and develops. The placement of Acupuncture needles
under the skin at these problem sites allows the bio electro-magnetic
energy blockage to be released thus restoring the integrity
and internal functions of the meridian.
Qt. Where does Acupuncture come from?
Ans. Acupuncture comes from China. It is one of the oldest natural
healing methods know to man. Recently, it has come to the United
States where hundreds of Americans now enjoy its natural healing
benefits.
Qt. How does Acupuncture work?
Ans. Research in America has found that the Acupuncture points
lie next to nerve endings and not directly on them. When stimulation
is provided on an Acupuncture point, a reflex is sent to the
brain. The brain releases a hormone called "Endorphin"
(the body’s natural pain killing biochemistry). Endorphin
is generally thought to be 50 times stronger than Morphine (a
medical pain killing drug). Through Acupuncture stimulation,
Endorphin is released into the bloodstream, thereby allowing
the body’s natural healing mechanisms to be activated
which allows the body to respond in a positive way to correct
the pain and/or disease condition.
Qt. What types of conditions has Acupuncture helped?
Ans. Over 100 known conditions have responded well to Acupuncture.
The following are only a partial listing of the accepted conditions
Acupuncture has been credited with helping:
1. Abnormal
blood pressure
2. Acute & chronic pain relief
3. Allergies
4. Anxiety
5. Asthma
6. Bed-wetting
7. Bladder dysfunction
8. Eye problems (many types)
9. Fatigue
10. Frozen shoulder
11. Gastric problems
12. Headaches - Migraine, Tension Cluster and Sinus
13. Neck, Thoracic, & low back pain
14. Neurological syndrome
15. Osteoarthritis
16. Post-operative pain relief
17. Sciatica
18. Skin conditions
19. Sprains & strains
20. Tennis elbow
21. Trigeminal neuralgia
Qt. Are the treatments painful?
Ans. No, generally not. In fact, during the normal 10 to 20
minute treatment time, most patients are completely unaware
of needle placements in their body. Sometimes the Acupuncture
needles (also called pins) will cause a slight amount of discomfort
for just a second if that area is already tender due to pain
and swelling.
Qt. How many treatments are needed?
Ans. The number of treatments depends on the following three
factors:
1. The age of the condition (acute or chronic), and
2. Its severity (mild, moderate, or severe).
3. The age of the individual (young or old)
Generally speaking, more treatments are needed for older people
and/or older and more severe conditions. Older people and/or
older or more severe conditions just require a longer healing
time. That is to say, it just takes the body a longer time to
do its repair work.
Qt. Under a clinical Acupuncture treatment program how
much time is required for a patient to reach maximum improvement?
Ans. In the more stubborn cases, 90 to 120 days may be required
to reach maximum benefit.
Qt. What type of relief of symptoms or improvement in
the condition should be noted following treatment?
Ans. Some patients notice an immediate improvement after the
first treatment. Others may not notice any effect until the
seventh or eighth visit. Again, it depends upon:
1. The age of the condition
2. The severity of the condition, and
3. The age of the individual
A small number of patients will experience a seemingly worsening
of symptoms, as the body’s energies are returning to normal.
This is usual and there is no need for alarm. This misleading
worsening of the symptoms is normally followed by improvement.
Qt. Once reaching maximum improvement status, will additional
treatments be necessary?
Ans. Patients with severe or chronic conditions should return
for booster treatments two to three times a year.
Qt. Are there other forms of Acupuncture stimulations?
Ans. Yes. Acupressure is the treatment of Acupuncture
points by light touch finger pressure. Yes, the body’s
bioelectro-magnetic energy can be balanced using light touch
finger pressure at designated Acupuncture points. Balancing
methods such as stimulation, sedation, or tonification are accomplished
by holding prescribed Acupuncture points for 20 - 30 seconds.
It is a very effective non-invasive form of therapeutic Acupuncture.
Also, there is a device called: "Muscle Power Roller",
which is used to stimulate massive Acupuncture points over the
skin, muscles, and/or sore or injured areas. It balances the
meridians and the body. It makes muscles stronger and more enduring.
And its use allows the body to heal injuries a lot faster.
Electrical leads are sometimes attached to the pins to enhance
the acupuncture treatment. This type of treatment is sometimes
performed in Acupuncture Anesthesia where surgery is performed
while the patient is completely awake. Sometimes light beams
(Laser) are utilized in Acupuncture treatment.
Another form of Acupuncture treatment is called Auricula Acupuncture
(Ear Acupuncture). This form of treatment has been successful
in relieving painful and diseased conditions in other parts
of the body.
Qt. How is it possible to relieve pain in one part of
the body by stimulating another?
Ans. This is a very interesting question and we feel one of
the biggest advances in the treatment of diseased problems in
modern Acupuncture. There are two types of diseased problems.
The first is called direct involvement. The second is called
indirect, referred, or reflex involvement.
Direct is the treatment directly to the involved site. Indirect
referred, or reflex is a treatment at some distance point that,
through a neural reflex pathway, stimulates the involved site.
Auricula or Ear Acupuncture points work by the indirect or reflex
mechanism and because they are so close to the brain stem, they
are most often used in acute or new conditions.
Qt. Are the noted improvements in a condition, when
treated by Acupuncture, psychological only?
Ans. A positive balancing effect and outlook is obviously necessary
and beneficial in all phases of life, however, Acupuncture has
had startling effects in infants and toddlers as well as veterinary
medicine. The effect it has in surgery as an anesthetic further
disclaims the improvements were merely psychological.
Qt. Should you clinically try Acupuncture without anything
being wrong with you.
Ans. Acupuncture is a very powerful healing tool and should
be only used as that. It has the power to help heal, or if used
incorrectly, has the power to hurt. It would be wrong, and possibly
dangerous, to enter into a clinical Acupuncture treatment program
knowing there is nothing wrong with you. If you do not know
for sure about a condition, contact an Acupuncturist for advice.
