After some further investigation, I have discovered that the point

names used in PD terminology (and Grasping the Wind) were not simply

coined or translated based on the judgement of Nigel Wiseman. Rather,

they were translated based on Chinese source texts explaining the

meanings of the point names. So while there may be internal debate

between Chinese scholars on some of the specifics, the translations

that we use are based on a consensus of Chinese scholastic opinion,

not simply Nigel's interpretation or opinion.

Hi folks,

 

I am a student of Jeffery Yuen in New York (and other

places)we just studied the guan points- jeffery stated

in lecture that the idea of the guan points was

invented by Liu Wan Su, and can be seen and used

anatomically- ie the guan points are 8 points used to

regulate qi as the body attempts to expel pathogenic

factors. For example, with an internal pathogenic

factor- the use of P6, external PF- SJ 5; Gb 3-directs

pathology up and out, ST 7 descends pathology

downwards; use of these points infers the classical

that pathology is caused by wind and dampness (and

cold), Gb3 expels wind, ST 7 deals with dampness, not

wind- by location St 7 infers that something has

entered deeper into the bones perhaps, jaw and teeth,

so consequently deals with things in the lower jiao-

kidneys(bones)- they are combined with jing well

points- eg Lv 1 for lower jiao issues- with draining

method, so for example,if from EPF- ie heat as a

response to wind, you would use Gb 3+ P6.

if dampness is predominant, the ST 7 + Sj 1 for

heaviness in the joints. FYI for intrinsic point

functions true® in his opinion, to the original

chinese, jeffrey recommends to wiseman ellis- chinese

acupuncture- (the red book). Hope this helps...

Jeffery was also the source of my introduction to the inner/outer and

above/below pairings of these 4 points.
