Long before HMO’s, family practice and
medical malpractice insurance ever entered
the stage, acupuncture was already an ancient
art. It’s been around for millennia,
but unlike passing medical “fads”,
acupuncture is here to stay.
As a matter of fact, acupuncture – along
with many other forms of alternative medicine – is
back in full force. What was once a sacred
study, centralized in Asian countries has now
stormed across the entire planet, penetrating
into even the most “traditional” Mid-Western
communities.
Now Acupuncture 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.
So, what is acupuncture and how
does it work? These are two of the paramount
questions people ask. Of course, the other
significant questions are, Can it help me?
How long will it take? Since every case is
different in terms of length of treatment,
and the possibility of helping varies according
to the extent of the condition, the only thing
that might be answered generically is, "What
is acupuncture?"
What about the acupuncture meridians themselves?
Bear in mind that most have never heard of
such an unusual concept. We are basically
knowledgeable about nerves, blood vessels,
muscles, etc., as one can visualize and actually
demonstrate hard evidence of their existence.
Suddenly, we are presented with a concept
of invisible meridians that
carry invisible qi energy. May have never
encountered anything so mystical regarding
the human body; suddenly, we're are being
asked to accept with blind faith a concept
that goes beyond their general understanding
of anatomy and physiology.
Here is another example: Sometimes
a person comes with a series of conditions
for which, as often as not, they’ve
seen a series of specialists. Dry eyes
take them to the ophthalmologist, constipation
to the internist, and low back pain with
achy knees to the rheumatologist. The
acupuncturist listens to the whole list,
asks questions, checks the pulse, reflex
points, and the tongue, looking for the
energetic clues that link these complaints
together. A careful choice of acupoints,
an individualized herbal combination,
and within a short time the patient finds
relief of all their symptoms, including
some they may not have even mentioned.
In short, the acupuncturist doesn’t
see the complaints as separate disorders,
but as signs of the same underlying imbalance.
That is why the simple intervention with
needles , and possibly herbs or other
helps, can adjust all the complaints
at once. Acupuncture often pays huge
dividends in improved health and wellbeing!

Multi-Purpose Health Device
Acupuncture
Stimulator - KWD808
The device is very safe, due to its low voltage
output, low frequency and emission of frequency
equal to that of the human body.
There are five types of pulse waves to be selected:
Continuous wave
Dense-disperse wave
Intermittent wave
Ripple wave
Respiration wave
Six kinds of wave combinations
may be used at the same time or separately, and
the output of each one may be regulated independently.
In order to increase its effect, combine two
or more outputs.
1. Continuous
Wave:
Pulse duration r = (0.5 +/- 0.15)ms;
Repeated pulse frequency: f1=( 1+/- 0.5 ) Hz
to
( 100 +/- 10) Hz. and FREQ1 can be regulated
continuously,
Max Output pulse amplitude: 40V +/- 10V (Load
500 O.)
2. Dense-disperse
Wave:
Dense and disperse waves display alternatively
Disperse frequency is f1, same with base wave;
Dense frequency is about 100Hz;
Pulse duration is 0.5ms;
FREQ2 regulates the frequency f2 of (10 +/-
3) cycles per min to (50 =/- 10) cycles per
min
Max Output pulse amplitude: 40V +/- 10V (Load
500 O.)
3.
Intermittent Wave:
Pulse shows at regular interval at the same
frequency as above
4.
Ripple Wave:
Its amplitude increases to maximum and drops
to zero suddenly, repeating the process.
The frequency: (10 +/- 3) cycles /min to (50
+/- 10) Cycles/min.
The Max output plus amplitude range is over
5V to 30V
( load 500O )
5.
Respiration Wave:
Its amplitude increases first, then drops
quickly to zero, repeating the process.
At 1kO load Vp3 = 24V, other pulse data are
same as above.
1. Turn on the device
Put 6 UM2 batter into the box or insert the plug of
DC 9V into the external power socket back of the
device, press the "power" to "ON" position, the power
indicator lamp lights.
When detecting acupoint, "timer" is set to "OFF", and
press "detective" at the same time. For Acupuncture
and Massage Function, "timer " is set to "ON" select
the different pulse wave according to the following
guide line:
Increase absorption of tissue fluid: Disperse
and Respiration waves.
Excitement of muscle and nerve waves: Intermittent,
Respiration, Ripple and
Disperse waves.
Stimulations of collagenous tissue: Disperse
wave.
2. Acupoint Detection When detecting acupoint, The "timer" should
be set to "OFF" and press "detective" at the same
time. Insert the penplug into " detective out" socket
(A or B), then adjust the "APD" knob until hearing
a sound cue. Then, slowly adjust counter-clockwise
until a suitable setting is found. Now hold the pen
in your hand and place the point on your body until
both a signal and light appear which shows the exact
location of acupoints.
When detecting acupoint, "APD" is set to any position,
there is no indication that shows your skin is too
wet. You should dry the skin before detecting. If
you regulate the knob to over 7.5, the device will
emit a sound cue. At this time, the skin is too dry
- wet the skin in order to continue.
During the course of detecting, the correct method
is to press the head on the acupoint with slight
pressure in a point/touch way. It is also incorrect
to touch and press the acupoint for a longer time,
for this causes a false reflection point (as cautioned
by an unclear sound cue).
Based on the fact that the resistance of certain
body points is laser than others, and due to differing
skin electrical resistances due to sex, age, health,
and season, the electric current used must be adjusted
slowly until comfortable.
Caution should be used while detecting. When detecting
is complete, "APD" knob should be turned to the "0" position.
3. Galvano-acupuncture
It is considerably efficient for doctors to use this
method in for rehabilitative effect. Clip the needle
into the patient's acupoint. Select the wave form
desired and properly regulate the output strength.
When using this function, the "POWER" is set to "ON" position
- set the timer as desired (if more than one hour,
timer is set to " ON" position). Press the knob of
wave forms selected - a green light will indicate
the device is functioning. Then, turn the output
switch corresponding to output end
according to need.
4. Hand Massage
Affix the two electric conductible rubber pieces
to the place to be massaged (or to the areas of girth).
Then, connect the lead wires to the pads, while plugging
the other end of the wire into any one of the output
sockets in the lower part of the device. Set the "power" is
set to "ON" position, the timer as desired (if more
than one hour, timer is set to " on " position).
Press the knob of wave forms selected - a green light
will indicate the device is functioning. Then turn
the output switch, corresponding to the output end,
gradually from a lower level to a higher level until
a tingling sensation is experienced. After a period
of treatment, if you feel the current is weak, the
output may be increased. If the output is strong
yet the feeling remains weak, you may connect two
outputs to increase the treatment effect. Several
output ends may be used at the same time for enhancing
the rehabilitation, such as for sportsmen recovering
from fatigue.
5. When finished the "timer" switch is set to "OFF" position
automatically and the "power" switch
should be set to the "OFF" position also.

Natural healing enthusiasts around
the world using the scanning technology of the
Advanced Bio-Photon Analyzer as an energy balancing
strategy to help maintain a healthy state for themselves,
their families, and pets.
One of the great advantages of the
ABPA is that the person's physical presence is
not necessary for treatment - a snippet of their
hair is used to act as the link (witness) between
patient and practitioner or grand mum and grand
kids etc. The witness provides the focus of attunement
between patient and practitioner during analysis
and treatment. This link is based on the principles
of Holography in which, from a vibration and energy
viewpoint, a small portion removed from the whole
(e.g. a hair sample removed from the body) reflects
the total energy pattern of the whole,,,with the
ABPA this is very simple as no previous Intrinsic
knowledge is required,, the unit is fully automatic...More
