Here is a new innovation in microcurrent therapy that can greatly increase your results. Check out this article and get the “ahas” going:

I really love this technique! You probably already know about the power of using auricular (ear) acupuncture points for relieving pain and balancing the body’s energies. You may have leaned that in school. What they probably didn’t teach you is that the results of auricular therapy can be greatly augmented by creating a polarized microcurrent circuit between the ear point and its corresponding painful, injured or diseased body area. This dynamic, powerful technique accomplishes a great deal of symptomatic relief and systemic balancing within seconds. Review the picture on the previous page, showing the use of Micro-Macro technique for relief of shoulder pain.
I’ve also used it with great success for low back pain, digestive upsets, Kidney weakness, migraines, cancer pain (remarkable) and knee pain. It is valuable for pain relief, internal regulation (through the autonomic nervous system connections) and can even be used for overall energetic balancing and as a support for creating balance with emotional disorders.
The ear not only contains points for the various anatomical features of the body. It also has corresponding points and regions for dermatomes, chakras and points of special effect. Micro-Macro technique can be used to for augmenting the results of almost any kind of therapeutic treatment.

I did some teaching and demonstrations at Andrews Air Force base last Friday. Dr. Richard Niemtzow, creator of the Battlefield Acupuncture system, introduced me to many of his colleagues.  They brought some of their toughest patients to me, and I also treated some stubborn pain cases for some of the docs. Each person had wonderful results. I believe that Microlight Sequence Therapy and PNE therapy for PTSD can be great assets for treating our wounded warriors and veterans. They want me to return in a few months to offer expanded trainings.

Do you have any experiences treating patients in the military?

How Light Affects The Body

 There is a large and growing body of research into the body’s subtle energy systems that reveals that the cells and molecules that make up our bodies respond directly to light energy.  Here is a quote from the article Exploring the Biology of Phototherapy by James Oschman, PhD[1]:

 “From the biology of the situation, I suggest that the immediate effect of light is on the communications pathways.  Specifically, it is proposed that light stimulates the flow of solitons, which are waves of energy and information that travel rapidly through the protein fabric of the body.  The flow of solitons opens gates and switches and organizes dynamic living matrix pathways.  Cells can then “whisper” to each other using their own languages.  These whisperings orchestrate the repair of traumas of all kinds.”

 Some Russian researchers have proposed  that the protein fabric of the body acts as a fiber-optic system.  S. Pankratov projected light on acupuncture points and measured light output from other points along the same meridian, and found that this caused these other points to emit light.  He concluded that the meridians are preferential pathways for the transmission of light in the body[2].

It is fascinating that other researchers have determined that protein molecules also transmit subtle electrical signals throughout the body, an activity called semiconduction.  The eastern European researcher Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was the first to point out that the molecular structures of the human body are organized enough to support semiconduction through passing information along chains of protein molecules.[3] 

Robert Becker constructed many experiments to test this principle, and concluded that energy transmission and communication of the meridian system is based on electrical semiconduction along the perineural glial cells that support the nervous system.  These allow subtle currents to be transported over long distances without losing charge.  He demonstrated that these semiconducted currents were completely different than electrical activity of the nerves themselves.  Nerves transmit high-frequency electrical action potentials, while glial cells transmit slower, direct currents of much smaller amplitude.  He postulated that such direct currents represented the more primitive aspect of our electro-physiology, which support healing and regeneration, and acupuncture points were in effect way stations that boosted the charge along the pathways[4]. 

The body’s semiconduction system as explained by Becker correlate well with the X-signal system theorized by Yoshio Manaka, M.D[5].  According to Manaka, this system consists of immeasurably small electrical charges in and around the body that ultimately regulate all life processes.  While the X-signals cannot be measured with currently available tools, their effects can be clearly observed through changes in pressure pain on acu-points, pulse diagnosis and kinesiology (muscle testing).  The X-signal system is exquisitely sensitive to polarity agents such as magnets, ion-pumping cords or polarized electrical probes.

Therefore both light energy and subtle electrical energy are transported throughout the body via chains of protein molecules.  We may surmise that these two forms of energy stimulation may be administered together, and can enhance each other’s effects, and our investigation so far practically confirms this.

I have created a microcurrent color light probe system that delivers simultaneous electrical and light energy to acupuncture points, auricular points and chakras for this purpose. 

Ever since Debi Weiss taught her first Ideal Weight seminar in 2010 we have had intense interest in this integrative weight loss/management system. It uses microcurrent frequency medicine in conjunction with dietary, supplementation and ph balancing procedures. This recording introduces this method.  Click here to watch it:  watch?v=hAcoNAN0DqE

 Here is a powerful protocol for treating cases of fibromyalgia that do not respond to conventional treatments:

Please post your comments here.  What methods work best for you?  Have you used microcurrent or color light for treating fibromyalgia before?

Microcurrent-Electro-Acupuncture Protocol:

Fibromyalgia

Written by Darren Starwynn, O.M.D., Lic. Ac. 

Average # of treatments needed:  Significant temporary pain relief usually noted in first treatment, long-term carryover common after 3 – 6 treatments

 Frequency of treatments:  2 times/week is best

Equipment used:  Acutron Mentor microcurrent & color light system

 Physical symptoms:  Persistent pain 11 – 18 body areas, usually accompanied by insomnia, mood swings, digestive problems or depression/anxiety.

• Consider nutritional deficiencies, viral etiologies
• Step One meridian balance – Often treated for this condition:  SI 3/UB 62 or Manaka’s Cross Syndrome:  TW 5-/GB 41+ (left) and Pc 6-/Sp 4+ (right).  With pronounced Liver symptoms substitute Liv 3 for Sp 4.  When insomnia and nervous system disorders predominate, use Sp 4
• Step Two:  Treat corresponding back-shu points or tender points on UB, SI or GB channels, use microcurrent mu-shu.
• Gentle stretching, hydration, movement essential
• PNE Color Light chakra therapies very beneficial for core aspects

Basic acu-points: St 36 (-),Sp 6 (-), Pc 6 (+), TW 5 (+), Lv 3(+),Sp 21(+).  Disperse local ah-shi points on tender zones (use positive current over ah-shi, negative on St 36, Ren 6 or associated back shu points.  Add other points according to symptoms.  An excellent guide for acu-point and herbal recommendations is The Treatment of Modern Western Diseases With Chinese Medicine available from Blue Poppy Press.

Also consider auricular Master points (see Advanced Electromedicine).  Shenmen, Stress Control, Tranquilizer – Blue Violet or Indigo.  Point Zero, Master Oscillation, Master Cerebral, Endocrine, Thalamus- Green.

Colors-  Green (Balance brain, body), Orange (decongestant, antispasmodic), Blue (anti-inflammatory, pineal stimulant), Violet (tranquilizer, aids sleep)
