What Frequency Are We Using When We Dissolve Scar Tissue – A Proposed Experiment
This should be a simple experiment to perform. Resonance involves one frequency, not two. From my experience with interferential electroacupuncture, the primary effects are at F1, F2 and the beat frequency. But since we are using square waves, they contain many other frequencies. . You may find that using a spectrum analyzer to find possible other frequencies. To start the experiment, you create scar tissue on rats abdomen like has been done before....

The Dangers of Va**ng
Most people think va**ng is less dangerous than ci******es. It is, but only by a little. You are still inhaling chemicals that can hurt your respiratory system. But the main danger is from the heat. People don’t know about this danger. When you heat a cell, you put energy into that system. That increases the energy content of the bonds in the DNA....

Do you have corns on your toes that are causing you pain?
If they are small, I can get rid of them in one or two treatments. They are typically caused by friction which then causes inflammation. The fluid accumulation is what causes them to feel soft and squishy on the surface. Chronic inflammation then can cause calcium deposition. That is the hard spot you feel deeper. On larger ones you can get a callus to form on top. Using a special form of electro-acupuncture I can get rid of the inflammation and the pain it causes and break up the calcium deposit.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is characterized by hot, swollen, painful joints. It is caused by an overactive immune system that attacks that attacks its own tissues by mistake. Acupuncture at certain points can down-regulate the immune system. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) can also do this. To treat the inflammation, I use a combination of acupuncture, electro-acupuncture and FSM. I use LI11 to clear heat which treats inflammation anywhere in the body. I then use my AIEAC treatment to treat the worst joints. Then I use FSM to treat inflammation in the tissues in and around the joint and to attempt to repair damage. Since this protocol is quite long, I do this remotely. Besides, I can not do FSM and AIEAC in the same area at the same time since they will interfere with each other.
This treatment will usually provide some immediate relief of pain. Additional relief will usually come two or three hours later as the swelling actually goes down. I usually treat twice a week to start and stretch out treatment as results dictate. This is not a cure but definitely helps with symptoms.

Rapid Relief of Menopausal Symptoms with Acupuncture
Hello, my name is Mark Reinhard. I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist and have been in practice since 1990. My clinic is Valley Acupuncture Center located in Kent Washington. I’d like to talk to you today about Menopausal symptoms and their treatment by acupuncture.
Menopause typically affects women between their mid 40’s and mid 50’s with symptoms generally consisting of changes in their menstrual cycle, mood changes, hot flashes, night sweats, and skin and vaginal dryness. The specific set of symptoms depends on the individual. Symptoms can vary from very mild to severe.
Acupuncture has indeed been shown to be able to treat many of the symptoms of menopause effectively both by patient testimonials and controlled clinical trials. In my own clinical experience this is indeed true. However, I have found that there are both things that limit acupuncture’s effectiveness and ways to significantly increase acupuncture’s effectiveness.
The primary limiting factor is whether or not the patient still has her ovaries. If they have been both removed, relief by acupuncture will be difficult and adjunctive therapies such as Chinese herbs, dietary changes, etc. become much more important since artificial substitution of substances naturally produced by the ovaries (or in Chinese medical parlance, strengthening the yin of the kidneys and liver) is necessary. If only one o***y remains, then treatment generally will be slower and somewhat less effective. So if you have had them removed, you probably will be happier with hormone replacement therapy than with acupuncture unless you are unfortunate enough to have a specific contraindication such as Cancer.
If, however, you are fortunate to have both ovaries, you can expect significant and lasting relief within one or two weeks with acupuncture. That is, if the best treatment approach is utilized.
When I first started my practice back in the early nineties, I was initially frustrated with the effectiveness of treatments using point combinations and herbal remedies that I was taught or found in reference materials that were available to me. Results were often rather slow in coming and not being satisfied with that I palpated for other possible points that might prove helpful. Well, not only did I find that several of the traditional points were indeed tender but I found an additional point that was quite tender but was not listed in any of my reference materials. And when I included it in the treatment, I got much more rapid and complete relief of my patients’ symptoms. Significant relief was usually obtained in 1 to 4 treatments and that relief usually lasting weeks to months before any worsening or return of symptoms. Mild to moderate symptoms disappeared and severe symptoms became mild. What a difference a single point can make!
Of course effective treatments don’t consist of a single point. I have found that the most consistently effective treatments consist of the new point along with several of the more traditional points supplemented with the appropriate points to treat the particular mood symptoms the patient may be experiencing. The most effective pace of treatment I have found is to have the first two treatments 2 to 3 days apart, and between the 2nd and 3rd 3 to 4 days apart. After that the rule of thumb I use is if the treatment effect is holding between visits without backsliding then you can extend the time between visits, going from twice a week to once a week to every other week or until symptoms reappear or worsen again. In addition, herbal therapy is rarely needed so no pills or teas required.
So if you’re suffering from menopausal symptoms and still have your ovaries, I encourage you to give acupuncture a try. You’ll be glad you did.
