Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Patient sensitivity to acupuncture and 'related' therapies varies, children and animals often being the most responsive. Besides the 'talent' of the practitioner, which may be the thing, I wonder why success is not absolutely repeatable. The general scientific, theoretical, anatomical basis of all this is usually defined, as bio-electro/magnetic/chemical/neural/emotional interactions. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2386953 Points exist dynamically, no doubt. I'd like to throw this out for consideration (and a possible beating), some anotomical/physiological/evolutionary idiosyncrasies that may be useful in studying not only acu-therapy responses, but also the future development of medical diagnostics. There will be a time of non-invasive diagnosis of the human body's energy field, revealing what is deeper.People can be better than machines or dogs, sniffing out problems. Science fiction leading science. Where the mind goes, the body may sometime follow. There were, and are increasingly, I think, incredible people whose chosen method was the acupuncture needle that got amazing results. But when you got to know them, it was the polished nature of their awareness that was most striking. Some practitioners are good at harmonizing, some at blood and tissue regeneration, building the lattice-work, some at emotional mining and revelation, some at just seeing. etc. First of all, all life is equal in it's right to exist, that's just spiritual first grade stuff. As the embryo develops the du and ren channels and tissue form, then with primitive kidney (hormonal) channel, and these self-organize like an alive arrow, 'head' to 'tail'. Visualize an adult human in frontal anatomical position. A little below the genitals and circling the du, ren and kidney channels to the neck and into the head, (the clear yang), there gathers among other things, chromafin tissue. This emphasizes the primal essential character of the response/reflex 'living' part of the body. (By responses, I mean the large view- not only fright/flight, but also attraction/repulsion, food preferences and metabolism, emotional development, ability to grow the field of awareness, skin sensitivity, body awareness, color detection, and so much more that is of the way we individually experience things.) The quality of their primitive neuroblasts, in that scene, and the mother's gestation experiences (pre heaven and post heaven qi), store, and help determine the starting characteristics of the person about to be born into this time. I, myself, also believe in spiritual intervention in life, either from within and/or without. Maybe I should just reprint a paragraph about this from a book about acupuncture that I wrote but never published, it's hand written, more of a compendium I guess, cloggged with material lifted from a thousand other copywritten sources, to help stimulate feedback on this topic. I hope any of this makes sense, so anyway. (Chapter Three: Physics, Metaphysics and Symbology of Human Development within the context of Traditional World Medical Systems.

Distribution and Concentration of Chromaffin Tissue The aderenals are made up of an inner medulla, covered by the cortex. Adrenal medulla consists of chromaffin tissue, (an affinity to chromium). It is an endocrine extension of the autonomic nervous system that controls many bodily functions automatically. There is spread through the body, extra medullary chromaffin tissue. Arising in the embryo as nueroblasts, primitive nerve cells, they migrate the developing sympathetic nerves. Found in concentrations along sympathetic nerve chains, parrallel to spine, and in all major nerve plexi of body, and widely throughout the dermis of the skin. Chromaffin produces adrenalin reinforcing 'fight or flight', 'attraction/repulsion' reflexive protective action of nervous system, and intensifies it's activity. A large amount of chromaffin tissue is found on the ventral surface of the aorta, called the 'organ of Zuckerland', near kidneys. The presence of these tissues vary widely in individuals, as does parathyroid and other gland and thier receptors, neural circuits, veins/arteries, etc. ... --- On Sat, 11/15/08, gitavarz <gitavarz wrote: gitavarz <gitavarz acupuncture lasers Chinese Medicine Saturday, November 15, 2008, 4:52 AM Dear Colleagues, With regarding to 635nm (<5mW Class IIIA laser) acupuncture laser please clarify the following points if you have any experience : 1. Exposure time of this laser on acupuncture points ? 2. Exposure distance of this laser from acupuncture points ? 3. Is it necessary to wear special glasses while working with this laser ?
