ACUPUNCTURE TECHNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM

GOALS FOR THIS SEGMENT…1. Introduce the basic philosophy and use of an Ion Pumping Cord. 2. Show you how to recognize Extraordinary Points, Divergent Points, and

Left/Right Imbalances in Acugraph. 3. Help you to feel confident in knowing which needle needs a red clip and

which one needs a black.

ION PUMPING CORDS

BASIC PHILOSOPHY AND USAGE


GENERAL ANALYSIS• Black pulls energy out (sedates) • Red puts energy back in (tonifies) • A tool to transfer energy from one

channel to the next • Diode: Keeps energy flowing one

direction • Clips must be hooked to metal

*Great for really difficult patients


*RESULTS ARE AMAZING

ACUGRAPH: DIVERGENT TREATMENT


STEP 1: Graph the Patient


• Click on the Divergent Channel

• Add Points into the current treatment plan

STEP 2: Choose a Treatment Plan


Recognize Three Sets of PointsSTEP 3:



Which Points? • There will always be 4 here • The first two go together • The next two go together • They will show up on the left or

right—based on graph analysis

*You need to know which ones go together and what clip to use.

DIVERGENT:


Which Clips? • First Cord: Red on LEFT PC 3

goes with black on LEFT GB 12 • Second Cord: Red on LEFT HT

3 with Black on Left BL 2


DIVERGENT:


Special Considerations • Sometimes ST 1 or BL 1 is

suggested. • Do not needle either of these. • Jake gives alternative

suggestions… BL 2 instead of BL 1, ST 2 instead of ST 2


DIVERGENT:


Which Points? • There are usually 4 here • *Sometimes only 3 • Remember the eight you

learned in college? • Well, there are 4 more points…

EXTRAORDINARY:



Which Clips? • Third Cord: Black on RIGHT TE

5 and Red on LEFT GB 41 • Fourth Cord: Black on RIGHT

LI 5 and Red on RIGHT ST 40

EXTRAORDINARY:

ONE MORE THING…just so you won’t be confused

later when it shows up.


Sometimes There are Only 3… • You would still use two cords in

this section • Red on LEFT LU 7 and Black on

RIGHT SP 4 • RED on LEFT PC 6 and Black on

RIGHT SP 4

EXTRAORDINARY:

*YES: SP 4 has TWO clips on it.

LET’S PRACTICE


GOALS FOR TODAY…1. Talk about Auriculotherapy basics. 2. Talk about advancements in Auriculotherapy. 3. Demonstrate how to effectively detect pathological points on the ear and

treat via microcurrent. 4. Demonstrate how to create general well-balance via electrical point

detection. 5. Demonstrate a two-step approach to pain relief with auriculotherapy.

AURICULOTHERAPY BASICS


COLLEGE: 10 HOURS• Probe • Proper needling • Areas of the ear • Basic points • Basic TCM

(AKA… How to pass the exam)

Advancements in

AURICULOTHERAPY


Research: • Olson, Huang, Langren • AKA points • French, German, Chinese • Author interpretation

MIRIDIA TECHNOLOGY: 7 YEARS


Development: • Auriculo • Auriculo 3D • Auriculo Poster



Clinical: • Chronic Pain • The “Hug” • The “High Five”



ALWAYS DOING RESEARCH…


ADVANCEMENT IN THE FIELDElectrically Active Points: • If it’s not active, don’t treat it • Changed the world of treatment • Immediate resolution of symptoms • Students were NOT learning this • So, we wrote a book

TAKE HOME MESSAGE TO THIS POINT…


• This stuff really works! • Auriculotherapy is

ESPECIALLY great for pain • Branch Treatment


October 2016: • The Chinese did not discover

auriculotherapy • How the ear map was discovered • How electrical zones were discovered (VAS,

viles, a growing map) • AND…

WHAT I LEARNED FROM NOGIER

Three quotes I want you to

REMEMBER

“If you do not know there are TWO kinds of points, you will miss the problem.”

-Ralph Nogier

QUOTE #1:

“First start with the electrical stimulation, then the reflex point.”

-Ralph Nogier

QUOTE #2:

“I was doing it ALL wrong.” -Kimberly Thomspon

QUOTE #3:


1. Open Auriculo 3D 2. Scan for active points 3. Treat active points 4. Put ear seeds on the points I treated 5. Have patient press points at home

BEFORE THE SEMINAR:

AFTER THE SEMINAR:


Root Treatment and Branch Treatment: • A two step process • Put the body into balance FIRST • Then treat the pain


• Not the same as painful points • Electrically detectable • You will find VAS with these • Tells you the dysfunction in the organ system

• Always do these before pain points • Do these if there is NO pain • Have an effect on immunity (delayed 2-3 days) • Depression, anxiety, constipation

NEUROVASCULAR POINTS (AKA SKIN RESISTANCE POINTS)ROOT TREATMENT


• If you can’t find any electrically active points…

• Treat Point Zero FIRST • Then treat Shen Men • Then scan again • Points will magically appear

NO ACTIVE POINTS?

BRANCH TREATMENT


• You cannot find these with VAS • Use Stimplus Pro (or pressure probe)

to find painful points • Treat the painful points • Use seeds, or pellets to prolong the

treatment

REFLEX POINTS: AKA PAINFUL POINTS


• Auriculotherapy REALLY works • The more you know the BETTER it works • Root/Branch on the ear helps patients get better FASTER • I’ll be going back next year, because I’M NOT DONE

LEARNING

TAKE HOME MESSAGE TO THIS POINT…

Who wants to

JOIN ME?


• October 12-14, 2017 • Johns Hopkins University, Rockville, Maryland • He will teach a 3-day course on multiple topics

in Auriculotherapy. Learn from the man who was there, hear stories and events that may have never been told yet. The mornings will be didactic and the afternoons will be hands-on clinical demonstrations performed by Dr. Nogier.

AURICULOTHERAPY SUCCESSWITH DR. RAPHAEL NOGIER


A SHOE STORY BREAK• My first “Clarks” were

from Washington DC… • I had a guy come

prepared to show me up.


• Branch Treatment: Symptoms • Find the electrically active point • Treat it • Put an ear seed on it

A RECAP: BASICS


Root Treatment: • Scan the ear for

Neurovascular points (no pain, just active)

• If you can’t find any, treat Point Zero then Shen Men

• Scan again • Treat what you find

A RECAP: ADVANCEDBranch Treatment: • Scan the ear for Reflex points

(pain, musculoskeletal) • Treat what you find • Leave pellets or ASP needles

Google Review Email Text Hello {name},

I'm really glad you are having great results with acupuncture.

Do you think you could take a moment and do me a quick favor?

When people search for me on Google, they like to read the reviews to see if I'm the right fit for them. If you wouldn't mind jumping over there and writing a quick review regarding your acupuncture experience, I would appreciate it.

Here is the link: Meridian Family Acupuncture

Look to the right of the screen and you should see a picture of me and my clinic. From there just click on the box that says "Write a Review."

Thanks so much. I appreciate working with you as a patient and your trust in me.

Have a GREAT day!

Thank you, {my name}

Extraordinary Treatment with Ion Pumping Cords

General analysis of Ion Pumping Cords: The black end pulls energy out (sedates). The red end puts energy back in (tonifies). Based on graph analysis, you are using the ion pumping cords as a tool to transfer energy from one channel to the next. The diode in the center of the wire keeps energy flowing in one direction. This treatment is amazing at balancing the graph, especially for extremely difficult patients.

There are three portions of the treatment to consider. Extraordinary points, divergent points, and back shu points. This explanation will focus on Extraordinary and Divergent points.

Step 1: Graph the Patient

Step 2: Click on Divergent Treatment then add points into the current treatment plan.

�5

Step 3: Recognize there are three sets of points listed.

The Bottom BL Points: These are for the back of the body. For this demonstration, go ahead and delete those on each “red x” to the right of them.

The Middle Set of Points: These are the divergent channel points. There will always be 4 points here. The first two in the set go together and the next two in the set go together. These points may show up on the left or the right, based on graph analysis. The important things for you to remember are which ones go together and what color to clip on the needle.

Example as Listed Above: • PC 3 left goes with GB 12 left. Use one cord to connect these points. (Put the red clip on PC 3. Notice

that it is written in red). Put the black clip on GB 12 left.) • HT 3 goes with BL 2. Use one cord to connect these points. (Put the red clip on HT 3 left and the

black clip on BL 2 left.)

NOTE:• Sometimes ST 1 or BL 1 is suggested. Do not needle either of these points. Jake Fratkin teaches

to move to the next point on the channel. So, if AcuGraph says to needle BL 1, go ahead and do BL 2 instead. If AcuGraph says to needle ST 1, go ahead and needle ST 2 instead.

The Top Set of Points: These points are the Extraordinary points. I taught in the webinar that there are more extraordinary points than the basic 8 extras you learned about in college. In this top section you will see any combination of the expanded list of 12 extraordinary points.

�6

Typically 4 Extraordinary points will show up for each treatment. The first two in the set go together and the next two in the set go together. (But sometimes only 3 points will show up in this section. I’ll explain why in the note below.) These points may show up on the left or the right, based on graph analysis. The important things for you to remember are which ones go together and what color to clip on the needle.

Example as Listed Above: • TE 5 right goes with GB 41 left. Use one cord to connect these points. (Put the red clip on GB 41 left.

Notice that it is written in red. Put the black clip on TE 5 right.) • LI 5 right goes with ST 40 right. Use one cord to connect these points. (Put the red clip on ST 40 right

and the black clip on LI 5 right.)

NOTE: • Sometimes you will only see three points listed in the Extraordinary Channel section.

�7

Example: If only three points are listed in the extraordinary… • You will still use two cords for this section. • Put the red end of one cord on LU 7 left. Put the black end on Spleen 4 right. • Put the red end of the second wire on PC 6 left. Put the black end on Spleen 4 right. • Yes—SP 4 on the right will have TWO clips on it. The reasoning for this is that Spleen 4 has so much

extra energy, it can share with both LU 7 and PC 6.
