It would be only fair to say that when I mention Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), philosophy and oriental medicine, acupuncture is only a very small part of what Traditional Chinese Medicine can do to help a person maintain and regain their good health. Chinese medicine itself incorporates a combination of the mind, the body and the spirit in the healing techniques. Oriental medicine uses various techniques which may include but is not limited to areas such as Chinese herbal remedies, tui-na, (a form of massage and body manipulation), electro-stimulation, infrared therapies, laser therapy, diet, nutrition, exercise, breathing and relaxation techniques, etc.—

Acupuncture by itself is taught and practiced all over the world in many countries and each country uses their own individual style and technique. Germany has its own style and technique as does Japan, Korea, Australia, France, Russia and Italy. Besides these countries already mentioned there are still many others that use their own acupuncture techniques but it should be said that most of these different and varied styles of acupuncture were derived from the Traditional Chinese Medicine health care system and then modified to some degree.

Acupuncture as a sole treatment method became very popular, especially during the early 1970’s when then, President Nixon opened the doors to China. Many of his representatives were in awe when they toured different Chinese hospitals and observed first hand the wondrous results of acupuncture and oriental medicine techniques.

By the middle and late 1970’s acupuncture was being taught in oriental medicine universities in the United States and about the same time different healing professions began teaching brief instruction courses on the subject.

There were numerous chiropractic colleges introducing acupuncture as a treatment mode. Also, the American Medical Association began offering brief courses around the country to allow the MD’s to participate in this new found alternative treatment modality.

In addition to the thirty or more oriental medical universities and/or acupuncture colleges offering acupuncture training there are many very good training courses now available around the country should one want to take a brief course to understand acupuncture and its use. Besides the chiropractic and American Medical Association courses there are also homeopathic and naturopathic colleges teaching acupuncture and oriental medicine. So, it would appear anyone would have a choice as to where to go and study the subject. Even after I graduated from my oriental medicine university I continued to travel around the United States and attend different courses offering different acupuncture techniques. I studied the acupuncture method and styles of the Korean, Japanese, French and German schools. I incorporated some of their training into my own practice. I also continued to attend other training courses that were presented around the United States by different practitioners. Some of these brief courses in acupuncture were taught by medical doctors and some by chiropractors. One of these western medicine chiropractors, John A. Amaro, D.C., FIACA, Dipl. Ac., conducted one of these training sessions when I had occasion to attended Dr. Amaro’s International Academy for Clinical Acupuncture. Dr. Amaro is a friend and health care colleague who travels the country teaching short courses in acupuncture to health care professionals. He took such an interest in acupuncture that I have seen him organize a tour for some of his students to travel to China so that they can observe some of the acupuncture techniques being used in the Chinese hospitals. Although I received my medical degree in oriental medicine from a traditional oriental medical university, it was at this time during a short course that Dr. Amaro encouraged me to put together a program relating to oriental medicine. With that, I would like to acknowledge his encouragement and say that his suggestion became reality and this program was born.

It can be said that education and learning is a continuous and ongoing cycle as one travels the road of life. And, from the Chinese point of view: There is constant and continual change from birth to death. So, lets travel this road together.

ACUPUNCTURE SYSTEM

1.1 A Word On Treatment

As a beginning, for clarity and ease of understanding let us agree that the word practitioner as it is used in this work refers to any individual person or health care professional that will be dispensing the treatment. Also, the word patient will refer to that person who will be receiving the treatment. Such things as the severity, duration and stage of the ailment or disease and the constitutional makeup of the patient will generally determine the number of treatments and the frequency of those treatments.

A good rule of thumb to follow would be that if the treating acupuncturist is facing an:

— acute condition, the treatment regimen of once or twice a day with a follow-up of treatment every second or third day would be recommended.

— chronic condition, a suggested treatment regimen would be that a treatment of one time every third day, followed up by another treatment every sixth day until the practitioner notices improvement or stabilization.

a. Any disease and/or ailment that demonstrates a consistent form of onset should be treated prior to it manifesting. For example, menstrual pain or any irregularities can best be treated four to eight days before or after the period. Insomnia might be treated about 45 minutes before the patient goes to bed. The same might apply to the ailment of enuresis; and in cases of anxiety, hysteria and epilepsy, there have been proven results which prevented or alleviated the onset when the patient was treated shortly before the occurrence of any symptoms.

b. Any disease that displays overt symptoms and discomfort should be treated during the time of the acute attack. For example, if an asthmatic patient is experiencing tight breathing, that patient should be treated at the time of the attack. If there is intestinal discomfort being experienced by and ulcer patient due to chronic ulcers, that patient should be treated at the time of the pain and/or discomfort. The same would apply to patients with pain from rheumatic complaints.

1.2 Yin and Yang

Yin and Yang can be seen as opposing each other but at the same time they are interchangeable. According to Chinese philosophy and reference from the early text "Nei Ching", which was written thousands of years ago, the Yin and Yang are in the Tao, which sets forth the principles of the universe. In that same text, the Chinese had already accurately detailed and diagramed the entire circulatory system long before it was ever discovered and drawn out in the Western world. The Chinese recognized the creation of the universe in cyclic changes and they believe that these changes have occurred since the very beginning of time. For example, changes from day to night, changes of the seasons and weather, light to darkness, and birth to death. These occurrences at opposite ends of an imaginary pole are what is referred to as Yin and Yang.

It is an incredible feat of how the Chinese actually put together this magnificent concept thousands of years ago. A concept that today is recognized in modern physics as Matter, Energy, Time and Space. So, the Chinese philosophy sets down the rule that every man and woman as well as every living thing on this planet is subject to the same laws that govern the vast universe and keep that universe in tact and that we humans are only a very small micro dot of the entire universe.

Therefore, looking at the opposite and opposing poles that
