Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 1. Finston, P. Extraordinary Meridian Treatment for Severe Mental Disorders Plus Augmentation With Psychotherapy, Indian Raga Music, and Essential Oils, Medical Acupuncture. March 1, 2009, 21(1): 27-34. doi:10.1089/acu.2009. ABSTRACT Both Western medicine and Traditional (TCM) view severe mental disorders as chronic, difficult to treat, and caused, in part, by genetic factors. TCM scholars believe the Extraordinary Meridians to be a finer, more primary energy field that is present at conception and a reflection of DNA. The author has applied this understanding to the treatment of severe mental disorders. In a 2-step procedure, I have opened the Extraordinary Meridian, then augmented this new energetic balance. Augmentation was accomplished with local treatments and/or “energetic flooding.†The latter was done with psychotherapy, Indian Raga music, and/or essential oils. Case reports describe attenuated or extinguished psychotic symptoms, in addition to what appears to be an unblocking of healthy developmental patterns. These results stimulated a reexamination of Western psychiatry's disease model, and speculation of future attempts to validate acupuncture's efficacy using this model and related double-blind studies. These results also led the author to connect my own and others' observations about the relationship between energy states and personality. Other possible models for severe mental disorders are discussed. 2.   Cabioglu, M.T., et al.  Acupuncture and Neurophysiology,  Medical Acupuncture. March201, 2009, 21(1): 13-20. doi:10.1089/acu.2009. In this paper, the authors explain the series of events that follow the insertion of acupuncture needles under the headings of local reactions; regional reflexes related with viscero-cutaneous and cutaneo-visceral reflexes; increased levels of beta-endorphin, enkephalin, and serotonin in the central nervous system and plasma; and effects of these neurotransmitters in the nervous system and many other systems. The authors then address the clinical application of this neurophysiologic approach. 3. Stanislao, C.

Conclusions: Acupuncture may have a positive effect on RLS and the effect can be long-lasting. However, further research is necessary, especially given the mixed patient satisfaction in this study. 4. Park, K. H.  Effect of Acupuncture on Blood Flow Velocity and Volume in Common Carotid and Vertebral Arteries in Migraine Patients, Medical Acupuncture. March 1, 2009, 21(1): 47-54. doi:10.1089/acu.2008. Results: The observed patterns were subdivided into 5 categories, according to arteries, in the migraine patients and healthy individuals. The predominant pattern in the migraine category showed decreased blood flow velocity and volume in the common carotid artery and increased blood flow and volume in the vertebral artery, which was distinctively different from flow in the healthy participants. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed P < ..001 for the intervention and type of artery (carotid vs vertebral), but no significant interaction for group (KHT vs control) or side (left vs right). Conclusions: Our data indicate that KHT can modulate extracranial blood flow through collateral circulation, which may affect the intracranial blood flow in migraine patients. 5. Niemtzow, R. C., et al.  Battlefield Acupuncture: Update, Medical Acupuncture. March 1, 2009, 21(1): 43-46. doi:10.1089/acu.2009. UPDATE OF THE BATTLEFIELD ACUPUNCTURE AURICULO TECHNIQUE The update to the “Battlefield Acupunctureâ€1 technique, as recommended by Niemtzow, consists of first following the orginal protocol to determine the dominant ear. If, during this process, a single gold ASP needle reduces the pain several points down on the pain scale, then a silver or stainless steel ASP needle may be placed just touching the gold ASP needle to achieve an even more substantial pain reduction. Niemtzow does not recommend doubling up on the gold ASP needles if there is no pain attenuation. In the course of future description of acupoints associated with this technique, Burns suggests the use of “zone†to replace acupoint; i.e., Cingulate Gyrus zone. The rationale is that the exact point may not be exactly determinable even with an electronic point finder. 0A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 The TCM may be counteracting the results of histamine dysregulation that was cuased by vaccination. you would be surprized as to what mental disorders, bleeding disorders and all matters of pathology that is effected by either the raise in histmaine levels following vaccination or the dysregulation of histamine and the neruotransmitter and immunomodulating efects from histamine mutations following vaccination Sincerely, Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology Chinese Medicine martyeisen Wed, 4 Mar 2009 11:02:45 -0500 Recent research 1.
