If this was directed to me. Sorry I can't decipher the MIME file. It comes

out with all garbled letters.

 

If this question is also directed to me........'What do you mean exactly?'

 

I mean exactly that many schools DO NOT teach L-5 ChiZe (in classroom NOR in

clinic) correctly and most all of the books and diagrams are incomplete

presentations of where the point is exactly located. Typically the point is

described as:

On the cubital crease medial to the tendon opposite PC-3.

The real question is HOW MUCH MEDIAL? 2 fen, 1/2 cun, 1 cun, 1+cun or ????

I have seen way too many practitioners place this wonderful point 'miles' off

where it belongs. Even off the channel pathway. Therein lies what should be a

clue. The image of the channel pathway doesn't seem to come to their minds

when needling ChiZe.

If one palpates PC-3 (immediately lateral to the tendon) in the cubital

crease........one WILL feel a definite sensation that there is a point

located there. BUT if you go immediately medial to the same tendon there is

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING there pertaining to anything, especially Lung 5 ChiZe.

Part of the problem exists because the schools don't require much self

needling. At least here in the USA from what I have seen. A student SHOULD

be required to needle as many points as they can access on their own bodies

....hundreds of times. How else can you get to know what the patient generally

will feel. Many points have their own different sensation such as thickness

or thinness, etc.

 

I have to close this file and reopen another file from my archives and will

post what I consider a fairly accurate triangulation of ChiZe's location.

Then you decide if it seems logical along with checking your own sensations.

Someone said to me on another list (sarcastically)....'if I found a new

point' and 'who was I to challenge all the great masters'. This is NOT A NEW

point location and the old masters knew exactly where it was located. Just

that the scribes didn't take it down completely nor accurately and for the

most part MOST (in the reproductions of books and charts) they couldn't care

less.

 

Hope that answers your question....at least initially.

 

Hang on and I will post the description.
