Japanese Acupuncture works for a sporting legend?
By Alan | December 11, 2011
Good to see acupuncture get a bit of positive press, albeit miniscule, especially when it involves one of Australia’s sporting legends.
Rumor has it Matthew Hayden actually enjoys his Japanese Acupuncture treatment very much and his general health n well-being seems to benefit.
Might be a bit of truth in the rumor?

Japanese Acupuncture/Meridian Therapy Treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
By Alan | November 19, 2011
Japanese Acupuncture/Meridian Therapy Treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
It is a stunning spring Sunday at Rainbow Bay.
The sun is beaming down, the virtually cloudless blue sky is reflecting magically on the ocean surface.
I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful place on a planet.
It can be more than a little difficult to tie myself to the keyboard on weekends.
However, my building excitement about the imminent world acupuncture upgrade along with the determination to keep my backside in one place long enough to write this post sees the shackles firmly in place.
In the latest update we continue our lessons about the treatment of chronic fatigue patients.
In this video I discuss some of the theoretical considerations involved in identifying the relevant patterns according to traditional theory.
The subtle approach and refined skills of Japanese Acupuncture can be very effective in helping chronic fatigue patients get back to a normal life, certainly, that is my experience.
HERE IS A SHORT SHORT PREVIEW OF OUR LATEST JAPANESE ACUPUNCTURE VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR CFS.
Wishing you the best in life and practice,
Alan
PS. We are seriously close to the launch of the all new world acupuncture site!
Word from the back room is that it will all be happening next month..
Keep your eyes and ears open over the next few weeks, world acupuncture has been fully renovated inside and out, it looks better, works better and feels better!
That’s certainly the word from the engine room.
Will keep you posted.
Have a good one!

Japanese Acupuncture treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
By Alan | October 29, 2011
Japanese Acupuncture treatment for a patient suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Here are a few snippets from our latest World Acupuncture video update about Japanese Acupuncture treatment for a patient suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS.
At the beginning of this treatment I had to decide whether or not Cassie was affected by an external pathogen, as she feels a bit like she was coming down with a cold and had a sore throat.
Her clinical outcome showed that this was not the case as all of her symptoms improved with a Liver Yang Deficiency treatment.
Liv.3 – Ki.3 – GB.40 plus related back shu points.
It is important to remember that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not always due to Liver Deficiency/Yang Deficiency/Cold Syndrome.
Recovering Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patient, Leroy continues to respond positively to
Sp. Deficiency root treatment Pe.7 – Sp.3 with a shunt on GB.40.
Remember, always treat according to the pattern that presents!
All the best in practice and life,
Alan
PS.
Beta upgrade of a fully revamped http://www.Worldacupuncture.com is due for release early December, please stay tuned.

Japanese Acupuncture and Abdominal Diagnosis
I trust all is well with you and your prosperity in practice is growing through increasingly positive treatment outcomes.
Julian asked a very pertinent question regarding the role of abdominal/hara diagnosis in determining the effectiveness of the root treatment.
I put together a 5 minute video reply to his excellent forum post.
I trust you might gain some insight into my take on this matter.
As always wishing you all the best.
Kind Regards,
Alan

Japanese Acupuncture treatment for severe respiratory condition.
By Alan | January 23, 2011
Japanese Acupuncture treatment for severe respiratory condition.
Welcome to the latest Japanese acupuncture video update brought to you by http://worldacupuncture.com .
I’m writing to you as I sit at my desk at Rainbow Bay having immersed myself in the ocean for a good 2 1/2 hours this morning, riding pristine waves whilst enjoying the a radiantly beautiful blue Sunday morning and the camaraderie of my fellow surfers.
Upon my return to land I recorded a video response to Chris’s request for more detail on the Japanese acupuncture treatment protocols that I used to help my patient Rob recover from a debilitating respiratory condition that had resisted all forms of previous treatment, including prescription corticosteroids.
To learn more about the treatment please watch the following video.
I also recently videoed taped an interview with Rob as he discussed the benefits he felt/feels as a result of Japanese acupuncture treatment for his severely debilitating respiratory condition.
I trust this interview helps you to understand why I am so passionate about ‘Going Global with Japanese Acupuncture’.
To hear what Rob has to say about Japanese acupuncture, click play.
I hope that by watching these videos you are inspired to learn more about how Traditional Japanese Acupuncture/Meridian therapy might benefit your acupuncture practice.
Upon my return I will publish the remaining parts of the intriguing interview series with Adam Gries Lic.Ac. of the Awakenings Health is Institute in Solana Beach, San Diego.
In the meantime I hope all goes well for you and yours.
Kind regards,
Alan

Big thanks to Andrew for keeping his eye on the ball whilst dealing with significant adversity and to Adam for keeping the marbles in our bag.
Hi World Acupuncturists!
We’re back with the rest of our new series on pulse diagnosis. Enjoy!
VIDEO: Pulse Diagnosis: Exploring Its Integration Into The Treatment Sequence, Part 3; Posted 21/1/11
Following the application of a Spleen Deficiency root treatment in Part 2 of this series, Alan explains how the pulse has changed.
If the pattern involves yin deficiency, blood stasis or yang excess, it is necessary to check the pulse after you have applied tonification*. Sometimes the tonification component of the root treatment addresses all major imbalances in the pulse – cools heat, moves blood stasis etc. Sometimes, though, heat or stagnation must be addressed directly by shunting. Checking the pulse after tonification will tell you what problems require further treatment. In this instance, while Andrew’s pulse has improved in many respects, heat in the lung and large intestine meridians requires shunting. Alan addresses both meridians with one point: LI-4.
There is also an indepth explanation of shunting deficient heat – what happens energetically, and what it feels like on the pulse.
*Very, very, very rarely is shunting appropriate when treating yang deficiency, and dispersion never.
VIDEO: Pulse Diagnosis: Exploring Its Integration Into The Treatment Sequence, Part 4; Posted 21/1/11
Following the shunt on LI-4 in part 3, Andrew’s pulse indicates that most major imbalances have been corrected. However, there is still some heat in the bladder meridian, which Alan addresses by shunting BL-62. Alan discusses some issues specific to shunting the Taiyang meridian and also looks at other strategies for dealing with heat there. Finally, Alan addresses the frequently debated problem of guitar music.
All the Best,
Adam, Andrew and Alan

Latest Japanese Acupuncture Video Update
By Alan | January 19, 2011
Welcome to the latest Japanese Acupuncture Video Update
As you may know, over the last week Southeast Queensland has been inundated by devastating floodwaters.
There is little to say that hasn’t already been said regarding the impact of this extraordinary natural event.
The knock on effects will last for a number of years with lives lost, much important infrastructure destroyed, businesses, and private residences inundated by the muddy waters of the Brisbane and Bremmer Rivers not to mention the maelstrom that occurred in the Lockyer Valley, Toowoomba and rural regions further west and north of the capital.
75% of Queensland has been declared a disaster area.
Many, many people have been affected by the floods, including Andrew our world acupuncture videographer and his partner Efrat, who not only have had their recently purchased home inundated but are still unable to practice as a result of the massive disruption to electricity supply.
Greg Bantick along with several other acupuncture colleagues has set up an acupuncture recovery clinic for victims of the floods.
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Acupuncture-Recovery-Clinic/146250205429319
Amidst the devastation there has been an incredible uprising of community spirit, one of the very few benefits resulting from this natural phenomena.
