Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Roberta: There are supposed to be 13 Ghost points, but there are probably more than that, depending upon which points are included and who does the counting. These were called Ghost points because they relate to mental illness or epilepsy, which were originally regarded to be related to cases of possession by ghosts or spirits. Lonny Jarrett has a good discussion of these and you can search him via or Google. If you need more I may have some info available. Not sure about the others.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Tks Jack... I've already visited Lonny's webpage but was unable to find this kind of information. Do u know something about points called Ma Dan-Yang Heavenly Star ( or 12 points shining bright as a starry sky)? I got an acupuncture point compendium from College of Traditional Acupuncture- UK and some points are named like this, but they do not explain qhat does ot mean.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Roberta: I've mailed a separate copy of Wiseman and Feng's list of 13 Ghost Points. Don't think they would get through . If anyone else would like a copy please let me know. Dont' know the other points, unless you might be able to show the Chinese characters?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hi Jack. Tks again for the info. All I got was from www.sacredlotus.com They have the list of ghost pt, ma dan-yang pt, and window of heaven pt, but do not explain well what are they and what we use them for, except ghost points. Take a look there, if u can. Usually do not allow attachments, so u can mail in pvt to me. robertablanco Tks again.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Roberta: I'm having a look at the site, thank you. I wonder if you have a specific application for these in mind, or just curious? My reason for asking is that, while these are used to treat various diseases, there are different approaches to dealing with each pattern. For example, there are a number of different approaches to treating what WM calls schizophrenia. There are different approaches to treating mania of the withdrawal type. Then there are methods for treating epilepsy. All of these include the Ghost Points, but the methods vary according to condition and patient. There's a book in Chinese about cases studies of mania and epilepsy, but it probably hasn't been translated yet. This area truly interests me, so I look forward to learning more from the site.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi Jack... I'm just studying abou this subject. Here in Brazil it's not usual to learn about this at acu schools. I usually work with 8 pricipal patterns ( ba-gang bian-zheng), and then select points according to each patient pattern. My inquiry about those kind of points was just to learn a little more. I got an atlas from classical 5 E acupuncture, and they identify those points there, with no explanation... I got curious !

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hi, Roberta: Yes, there isn't much literature on those points, this seems like an area that needs more study. I'm always curious to learn more. Kind regards, Jack --- Roberta Blanco <robertablanco wrote: > Hi Jack... > I'm just studying abou this subject.
