I am an alum and have done some teaching there also. I have not attended or visited any other schools so my frame of reference is somewhat limited. I will say however, that the rate of passing the NCCAOM exam on the first attempt is quite good for graduates of this school. I think the school is a reasonably good choice. Whatever school you chose, you will get out of it what you put into it. Good luck in your decision. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 Just a quick note to Gye Bennetts: It is just so much fun for me to read a treatment protocol from the 5 Element perspective. It truly is a different language. Just addressing the Entry/Exits blocks can prove to be such a powerful opening into the Body/Mind/Spirit, and I know you've seen the patient shift at so many levels, including the physical when such issues are addressed. Did you study with Dr. Worsley in England? Aloha, Janine __________________________ ___ Message: 6 Tue, 7 Dec 1999 00:09:33 +1100 " Mirva & Gye Bennetts " <gyemirva Re: patients who want weight loss Hello, Now this is just my opinion. In my experience weight has more to do with emotional issues than how much the person is actually eating. So in some ways, looking at it from this view is the best way to do anything permanent with it. Quite often people with weight are Earth CFs ( ie permanent St. and Spl. deficient ). So that means they are carrying a lot of emptiness/neediness and usually a lot of anger around that feeling from their childhood. I always check for blocks from the Liv. to the Lung meridian. Feeling for a large G.B./ Liv pulse and a non existent Lung/L.I. pulse. This block quite often comes from repressed anger. I keep this unblocked by tonifying Liv.14 and Lu1 as opposed to sedating the Wood meridians. They might experience some of this anger as it releases but it will help them feel lighter and the digestion should flow better. Next it is important to fill them emotionally. Points like " Receive Fullness " (St 20) and Abdomen Sorrow (Sp16) are good with moxa, if you tonify the point. Ren 8 " Spirit Deficiency " Moxa on salt up to 11 cones. This will help them feel fullness and not have to fill an inside hole with an outside things Not that this is going to change everything for them but at least you have hit the nail on the head and not just treated the symptoms. Again this is from a Five Element perspective and my opinion. All the best Gye Bennetts - acupuncture Wednesday, November 24, 1999 3:43 acupuncture patients who want weight loss I am an acupuncturist for a number of years and have come up with a more than a few patients wanting " weight loss " . They generally are women in their 40-50's generally very aware that cultural pressures are defining their self-esteem. In other words, intelligent yet they still ask me to help. I used to avoid weight loss and worked on the esteem etc... but now I really feel like I should address the physical aspects. I have had little success I must admit. Do other practitioners of acupuncture/herbs have special skills they can share? For the most part these patients eat very little and are 10-30 pounds over " ideal weight " (whatever that is). The main diagnosis is spleen deficiency. Thanks __________________________ ___ __________________________ ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have someone (ideally your acupuncturist) mark the points while you are in the proper position for each and then go to your local tattoo shop to make them permanent.
