The Spirits of the Points: A One-Hour Introduction

Original Air Date: October 4, 2011
Total running time: 1 hr 06 min
This one-hour presentation begins with the basics of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture practice, including diagnosis of the elemental Causative Factor and the various energetic blocks that must be identified and resolved for any treatment to be effective.
The presentation discusses some of the most powerful spirit points on the whole of the body. Featuring beautiful images from nature and from the worlds of fantasy and mythology, Neil explains the uses of points from the upper Kidney chest region, outer Bladder line on the back, Conception Vessel (Ren), and Governor Vessel (Du). These very special points provide gifts to the minds and spirits of patients that cannot be accessed by any other meridians, and can be conjoined with points of any element.
Course notes are available to download at the end of the webinar.
The Treatment of Stiff Neck & Levator Scapulae
with Whitfield Reaves, OMD, L.Ac.
Original Air Date: September 15, 2011
Total running time: 1 hr 28 min
This one-hour webinar features the use of advanced acupuncture techniques in the treatment of stiff neck and pain due to levator scapulae syndrome.
The levator is the cause of neck and shoulder pain for a significant number of patients, and is often overlooked by the acupuncture practitioner. While levator dysfunction might not be the entire cause of pain – other points, treatments, and techniques may be necessary – the simple techniques covered in this webinar benefit many patients. As well, levator dysfunction is often a component of treatment to other injuries, such as strain to the supraspinatous and infraspinatous and other dysfunctions of the shoulder.
Included in this webinar is a short introduction to the Four-Step Approach used by Whitfield Reaves in the treatment of sports injuries. These include the tendino-muscle meridians, distal points, and strategies using the opposite side and opposite extremity.
Then, the anatomy of the levator scapulae, including correct patient positioning and palpation is covered. Finally, precise treatment techniques at the site of injury and the most effective acupuncture points are covered. This includes local, adjacent, and distal points.
Having spent over 25 years specializing in the treatment of musculo-skeletal disorders, Whitfield’s clinical experience is invaluable for practitioners working with pain.
Note: In the recorded webinar Whitfield is captioned "Jake Fratkin". This was a technical error - please note it is indeed Whitfield Reaves.
Using Granules Effectively
with Eric Brand, L.Ac.
Original Air Date: June 28, 2011
This is THE webinar to help you understand how to use granules effectively with your patients. Granules are a relatively new development in Chinese herbal medicine, and few practitioners have been exposed to consistent training on key issues such as dosage.
This one-hour webinar examines several different styles of granule use, including the Taiwanese method of combining whole formulas and the mainland Chinese method of building a formula from scratch with single herb extracts.
The advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches is assessed, leaving attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the main clinical trends and challenges in the granule world.
By the end of this webinar, you will understand:
- Granule dosage and formulation strategies
- How to overcome challenges unique to granules, such as the effective use of minerals and gelatins
- Research on the effects of Pao Zhi, manufacturing differences, and comparisons of granules with raw herbs
An Introduction to Double Helix Water
with Dr. Shui-Yin Lo, Ph.D. and
David Gann
Original Air Date: July 7, 2011
Check out this one-hour webinar and learn more about Stable Water Clusters. This newly discovered phase of water is comprised of clusters of solid, rigid, ice-like, nanometer-sized, uncontaminated H2O molecules. Held in suspension with ultra-pure water, these stable water clusters have demonstrated unique properties that could contribute to an explanation for the mechanism of homeopathy.
Increasing evidence suggests that chains of Stable Water Clusters, situated in fascia and connective tissue throughout the body are indeed the actual circuitry of the acupuncture meridian system. Such evidence is supported by both Atomic Force Microscope and Electron Microscope photographs. Because of their size and charge, Dr. Lo believes that these solid nanometer-sized particles absorb immediately into the semi-permeable membranes and enter into the energetic networks of the acupuncture meridian system. He feels these clusters are indeed the material bases for the meridian system known as the Jing Luo in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Stable Water Clusters
with Dr. Norman Shealy, MD, Ph.D.,
Dr. Shui-Yin Lo, Ph.D. and
David Gann
Original Air Date: July 28, 2011
Enjoy this one-hour webinar with renowned integrative medicine expert Dr. Norman Shealy, MD, Ph.D. Together with Dr. Shui-Yin Lo and David Gann, we delve into the world of Stable Water Clusters - as found in Double Helix Water®, now available from Eastern Currents.
It is theorized that due to their size and charge, these Stable Water Clusters - solid nanometer-sized particles - absorb immediately into the semi-permeable membranes, entering into and reinforcing the energetic networks of the acupuncture meridian system.
In this webinar, Dr. Shealy shares his experiences with electrical fields produced by the human body and his research on the use of Stable Water Clusters.
