I am very interested in your comments, because I have no practice-based judgement of thid, only theory class, and what the instructor told us. I am most eager to see the difference between the redness of a 'normal' test needle reaction, and the erythema of the AE reaction. We were told the test needles were for each jiao, and it didn't occur to me to ask why it would be different from one to the next? We were told exactly the same thing about 'putting the Supreme Controller back on the throne', but that it was necessary to do this, Interesting difference of interpretation. Less needles being better, I like what you say about it. Thanks, Sue BW Persis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
