Dear Guy and our fellowship.

 

THIS IS MY PRIVILEGE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE to all of you. I hope some

day, we would come together and learn something more exciting.

 

I have learned TCM theory over and over which is fascinating and to

me is very accurate.

What I have done is to create and imagine of pictures and questions. I

often asked myself a lot of questions and answered them to myself. I

must find an answer for each of my question.

I used at least 40 needles for each treatment -this was how I had

been taught and practiced from the school as an intern, and herbs were

prescribed more than 15 ingredients- each time. I left the needles on

the patients' bodies after the treatments eventhough I had searched

thoroughly a few times to make sure. NOt only that I must waited at

least for the patients to go home and come back so I could ask whether

he / she would feel better.

From the books and from study from school and from our

practitioners -our professors, we all use too many needles and ask our

patients after a few treatments, or after the first treatment at least

the next day.

I thought to myself " I can not do this anymore, I must find my own

way "

 

I MUST DEVELOP MY OWN !!!!!!!!!!

ONLY ONE NEEDLE for each patient. I saved a lot of needles in this way.

LOOK AGAIN AND THINK : There are so many diseases, so many names

of illnesses. Each illness was used too many needles and they were not

effective. Each point was described in detail -in books, what they can

do, but we ignore its importance and used too many points anyway which

lead into confusion and cause diffidence in ourselves.

 

My ADVICE : LEARN YOUR DIAGNOSIS CORRECTLY, MERIDIANS, AND ORGANS

CAREFULLY.

Even if you miss the acu-point, your herbs will enhance and accelerate

the healing. If the healing is not brought in by acupuncture

treatments, at least you do not miss your shot by herbal formula.

AFTER CAREFULLY STUDY DIAGNOSIS, MERIDIANS, ORGANS ... THEN STUDY

POINTS AND ITS INDICATION !!!!!!

Then applied them........ THAT IS THE TRICK.

Ex : a true case : a patient had a sorethroat from coughing or

from external pathogenic factor " Wind cold or heat " or from long

term illness from deficiency. I checked pulses, tongue, posture,

spirit , and inquiries - usu 15 - 20 minute each new patient.

 

A sorethroat with deficiency : Let say I made mistake , used LI 4 and

manipulated, then asked the patient to swallow his throat see if the

sore was still there. This was a wrong point, of course, the sore

would not disappear.......... OOP, WHY ???? Oh, I used wrong point to

reduce heat. I counted as zero. Then I used Du 14 ( internal heat ),

same thing , nothing happen... Again I discounted as none... I

proceeded again with Ren4 ( tonify yin and body fluid ), again nothing

better, I also discounted this point, again as zero... WHY ???

I tried again, chose K6 ... BINGO ... BINGO ... WHen the patient

swallow his saliva, no more sorethroat. Then I counted it as one

needle. I rewarded myself, " I AM THE ONE WHO COULD DO ACUPUNCTURE

WITH ONE NEEDLE "

I tried different patients with same problem. It worked as a charm!

But I did not stop there.

I wanted to try my theory, same problem ,in different patients I

inserted needles in three different places as : L7, K6 and LI11 ...

OOP, nothing. I removed LI 11, nothing ...Finally I removed the L7 ,

BINGO , BINGO , BINGO.........

 

NOTE : Each time I removed the needle or inserted more needles , I

manipulated them and ask my patient to do some action to provoke the

pain or discomfort.

 

This is how I got instant results from each treatment and I know

precisely which to choose.

BUT THERE ARE MANY CASES WHICH ONE NEEDLE WOULD NOT DO THE TRICK, I

MUST ANALIZE AND ADD EACH ONE TO FORMULATE THE TREATMENT. All I have

done, not astrayed or wandered from the theory.

 

I DID NOT INVENT ANYTHING NEW, BUT I FOUND WAY TO PROVE THE POINTS OF

THEORY WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY.

 

I KNOW SOMEDAY, SOMEONE WILL LEARN FROM THIS METHOD WILL FIND OUT MORE

AMAZING RESULTS IN AN INSTANCE...

You must do it yourself or someone should see I do it and watch! Oh, I

do not think so. I count on all of you. YOU CAN DO IT AS I CAN.

 

 

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL !!!

I hope all of us would learn the pulse diagnosis correctly because I

seen many of us does not understand pulses at all.

I HAD DEVELOPED A METHOD which we can understand pulses without

thinking or memorizing, same way as our diagnosis.

 

I am sorry I talked too much , sounded as a commercial man. Please

forgive me.

 

GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Nam,

Thanks for sharing your passion and experience.

 

The one-needle technique or two (dui-xue) or three needle combinations

work amazingly with the right diagnosis and mind state

 

Could you share more specifics?

 

I had a toothache and tried all kinds of stuff.

What worked best was LI 4 opposite side (one needle).

The sharp pain (9/10) went away in 5 minutes and never came back.

 

Also, the combo I've tried on myself, GB 20 and DU 20

completely straightens out the spine and the legs.

DU 20 (100 meeting), GB 20 (Yang wei, Yang Qiao)

 

Of course, Master Tung uses only 1, 2, or 3 point combinations.

 

Thanks.

k.

Dear Dr. John,

 

The one needle you chose for toothache , LI 4 , was also described

in books, but it is extremely important how you recognize it and use

it properly - I must admire you for this... All we have to study is to

study the diagonosis carefully and then points so we may not choose a

wrong point.

You started with one point and the toothache vanished. This is what

we want to see and encourage all of our TCM professionals. If other

points were added at the same time, I think probably the internal heat

instead was consumed, it spreaded around and then come back later. The

pain would come back in hours or the next day. Some antibiotics can

cause extreme heat and cause toothache. Your case was excellent. In

your case I would try the same thing if the upper gum-toothache. If

not resolved, I tried S44. Stomach channel for gum, face, sinus "

especially for infection or heat- more blood more Qi channel "

Toothache cause by stomach heat or LI heat " Yangming heat " which

is the best to choose LI4, this toothache from either infection or gum

disease. Other cause from loose tooth , I think I would choose Liv 2

for Yin def which may not hold the tooth, and then have the dentist

recheck... I do not understand why there are a lot of us just choose

local points and ignore the diagnosis.

FOR STRAIGHTEN OUT THE SPINE AND THE LEG, you had done an amazing

effect. I would love to hear more from you and other cases you had

experienced.

Du 20 is best for the brain and also for the spine, but I had never

thought it could straight the leg or spine. What a miracle combination

you had done.

G 20 , I used for Wind " interior / exterior " with dizziness or

headach as a secondary. I had never thought that strong wind would

curl up the spine, muscles, tendons, or ligaments, but now I think it

would , such as in tetanus, covulsion....... WHAT A COMBINATION!!!

 

THANKS FOR SHARING YOU EXPERIENCE WITH US. I HOPE EVERYBODY WOULD

ENJOY THE SAME SUBJECT HERE AS I DO... Should we all share some

difficult cases or some successful cases here.

 

Thanks to all,

 

Nam Nguyen

This reminds me of some Japanese techniques I use from time to time, where

sensitive places in the abdomen will change with the right needles.

Likewise, I've seen points that were sensitive to pressure, suddenly change

when a needle is used in a different location. For example, I have a patient

who I just began seeing, she is a runner and starting having pain in her

left leg. SP6 on the left was extremely painful to the touch, but after

needling LV5 on the right, the pain at SP6 disappeared. Did it change the

pain she has with running? I'll find out next week!

wonderful discussion...wish more were like this.

 

I think that it takes lots of courage to use this approach. Your

diagnosis, as pointed out, needs to be accurate but in addition, you

need to have a clear cut " issue " to be addressed. The problem I see

is that so often our patients come in for treatment with multiple

issues and multiple presenting patterns. How do you, Nam and others,

address this?

 

I have often used the three needle approach but now, thanks to all of

you, I will use it more carefully and with more courage to stick to

it....forgive the pun!!!LOL

Dear Diane,

 

Multiple patterns and symptoms are not as important

as I concerned. I am only worrying about the chief

complain or the most bothering issue of a patient.

From this point, I have to relate all other symptoms

or diseases and see them as a manifest of a main

complain.

No matter it is a deficiency of excess, the main

symptoms must be addressed first.

 

BUILD YOUR TRUST :

Sometimes, there is a difficult case I would say

this before the treatment " Oh ! Your energy seems too

low at this time. It must be taken care first by

this.... and some herbs before I can bring good

result. " Or, sometimes when there is a case which

I might expect to take a few treatments, I would say "

Your body react wildly too strong. It requires a few

treatments before gettin good result "

I had a case with meningitis, severe headache at the

occipital, severe tinnitus, nauseated often.

This lady , age 47 , came to California from

Sweeden for a treatment from a relative's referral. I

told her I never had any experience with this case and

I would prefer her to see specialist. She said she had

tried all but no result. She wanted to try this with

me. I asked for 5 treatments before I surrender. She

agreed.

The first 5 treatments, I used one needle, for at

least 20 locations " 20 needles " , spent 30 minutes -

45 minutes a treatment. Eventhough I had used with

bleeding method, local, distant, emperical points.

Nothing helped. After 3 treatments, no results, I

almost gave up and said " No result so far, I had

tried and studied this case so hard and tried it but

to me it seemed no result. "

She encouraged me , " Doctor ! If you don't give up

on me. I will try with you for more treatments. I have

reserved hotel here for 2 weeks and will stay with you

and I will come everyday. "

At the 6th day, there was slight improvement. She

pronounced it with joy. The 7th day was 70%

improvement - upon her words. After the 8th

treatment, no symptoms remained. She came to visit me

the remaining days before going back to Sweeden.

 

THE STORY HERE is not for bringing up the

successful treatment, but the trust... I CREATED A

TRUST FROM THE BEGINNING by telling her I had no

experience and I would try, so give me a few tries...

This will also happen to you all.

 

GOOD LUCK !!!

I too believe that the minimal needle technique with carefully chosen

point(s)is the best. I'll tell you how I came to that conclusion. A

few years back a friend who does Reiki started experimenting with me

using her hands over needles I had put in my body. Being very

sensitive to the movement of energy I made some observations.

 

(1) The needles work like " magnets " drawing energy to that point for

therapeutic effect. When she would do her Reiki cleansing technique

where she placed her hands at the head and at the feet, I could feel

the energy at the needles being dispersed. We decided that she should

work with the needles and hold her hands directly over the needles to

" amplifly " their work.

 

(2) Since the needles are like magnets drawing energy, every time you

insert another needle, some energy is pulled away from other needle(s)

already in the body, so each successive needle(s) inserted further

weakens the strength of other needle(s) in the body.

 

(3) The fewer needles inserted, the greater the magnetic pull at each

site and the more powerful the treatment.

I strongly have to disagree with this when dealing with chronic long-

term disorders. For acute infectious disorders or injuries, of

course we have to address the main issues, but even here a patient's

constitution has to be considered with hot or cold, vacuity or

repletion, location of disease in specific channels, etc.

 

If one is treating chronic disorders, the patterns will be more

complex, and must be addressed in their entire manifestation.

Otherwise, treatment will just be window dressing.

Dear Dr. Rosenberg,

You are absolutely right. The experience I shared with TCM

professionals here is just from one tiny scope with a strange

experience. Different people have different experiences.

Severe, infectious and acute cases, I must have the MDs back up. I

do not take everything in my own hands. I know my limits and stay

within the scope of practice. We are happy if our patients are happy.

But there are cases you may not agree nor believe. I have seen

chronic alleric problems such as asthma, sinuses, itching had been

treated for years without good results. I had some lucks treating

them within a few times with " cured " . I said cure because no

recurrent after a few years. AGAIN , NOT ALL CASES ARE ALIKE !!!

 

YESTERDAY, I had heard my daughter blew her noses up so hard. It

came out with blood. I was in the backyard I could hear her blowing.

For the first time, I asked her if I could treat her. Surprise ! She

agreed. I took her pulses - slippery-full rapid. The nose was blocked

on the right side.

I chose S36 , the left side. Twisted and regulated the needle for

a minute - nothing happened. I withdrew the needle. Checked the

pulses, changed to S36, the right side. Regulated for another minute,

again nothing. I was so discourage and said. OK, dear. That's it for

today. I may have to try again tomorrow.

BUT wait......... After an hour, I asked her. She replied, the

nose was completely free till today , 28 hrs passed... HEY ... HEY...

Sometimes I gave up too soon, but the body of the patients help

themselves......... This is the first time I have failed in stffy

noses in 50 - 60 cases - not instant result as it should be.

I do not think chronic cases will take time to heal, but depend.

Most of us are out of track, making wrong guesses. I used to have

lucks and I count on them.

I have seen many different cases in our forum, but I did not

respond to them, for I have not known those cases and have no

experience either.

MY ADVICE : DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE BOOK 100%, but apply and see

the results. SOme chronic cases can be resolved in a few treatments ,

less than 5.

 

GOOD LUCK Dr. Rosenberg !

One point I think that needs to be made here, and seems to come up a

lot on the TCM list, is that acupuncture/moxabustion and herbal

medicine are two different modalities, with similar but differing

diagnostic systems. I think this sometimes leads to confusion in

discussions. It sounds like the cases you are describing are

primarily acupuncture, please correct me if I am mistaken.

Hi Nam,

 

The examples you have given are all well and good. It would seem to be ok in

minor illnesses to “have a go” in those cases with which we have no

experience if that is disclosed to the patient. Personally I think it is

often a bit of an ego trap and we should refer and have a duty to refer and

KNOW where to refer, even if that is for a second opinion of another

specialist.

 

WIth serious cases where time is of the essence it is not ethical to “HOPE

FOR THE BEST” but we could justifiably be part of a team.

 

An example would be leukaemia where some stats have shown very high recovery

rates with chemotherapy. We could then assist with the side effects such as

nausea.Your examples could also have led to bitter disappointment, that is

the other side of the coin. Enthusiasm will never replace wisdom.

Re: Re: TMJ " ... INSTANT RESULTS !!! NEW PRACTICE METHODS !!!

 

 

 

Dear Diane,

 

Multiple patterns and symptoms are not as important

as I concerned. I am only worrying about the chief

complain or the most bothering issue of a patient.

>From this point, I have to relate all other symptoms

or diseases and see them as a manifest of a main

complain.

No matter it is a deficiency of excess, the main

symptoms must be addressed first.

 

BUILD YOUR TRUST :

Sometimes, there is a difficult case I would say

this before the treatment " Oh ! Your energy seems too

low at this time. It must be taken care first by

this.... and some herbs before I can bring good

result. " Or, sometimes when there is a case which

I might expect to take a few treatments, I would say "

Your body react wildly too strong. It requires a few

treatments before gettin good result "

I had a case with meningitis, severe headache at the

occipital, severe tinnitus, nauseated often.

This lady , age 47 , came to California from

Sweeden for a treatment from a relative's referral. I

told her I never had any experience with this case and

I would prefer her to see specialist. She said she had

tried all but no result. She wanted to try this with

me. I asked for 5 treatments before I surrender. She

agreed.

The first 5 treatments, I used one needle, for at

least 20 locations " 20 needles " , spent 30 minutes -

45 minutes a treatment. Eventhough I had used with

bleeding method, local, distant, emperical points.

Nothing helped. After 3 treatments, no results, I

almost gave up and said " No result so far, I had

tried and studied this case so hard and tried it but

to me it seemed no result. "

She encouraged me , " Doctor ! If you don't give up

on me. I will try with you for more treatments. I have

reserved hotel here for 2 weeks and will stay with you

and I will come everyday. "

At the 6th day, there was slight improvement. She

pronounced it with joy. The 7th day was 70%

improvement - upon her words. After the 8th

treatment, no symptoms remained. She came to visit me

the remaining days before going back to Sweeden.

 

THE STORY HERE is not for bringing up the

successful treatment, but the trust... I CREATED A

TRUST FROM THE BEGINNING by telling her I had no

experience and I would try, so give me a few tries...

This will also happen to you all.

 

GOOD LUCK !!!

Hi Ray,

You remind me of a case.

I had a patient - a lady, age 73, who had intense abdominal pain

for more than 2 weeks. No bowel movements for one week. I asked her

to see her family doctor or a GI specialist for further. Her

daughter, age 50 , told me that she had visited her family doctor

recently for this case and was taking some medication for pain.

Before and after the first treatment I insisted her to see her doctor

because the pain go away does not mean a cure. I am writing down a

note here on your chart that I strongly advise you to see your doctor.

I chose S 36 , then S 37. The pain disappeared. Both of them were

joyful and asked me if they could go to Las Vegas to have fun. I

demanded her to see her doctor first. They agreed.

2 months later, the daughter came in alone in tears, crying for at

least an hour, saying her mother passed away. I expressed sympathy

and asked what happened. I asked her if she had seen her doctor. She

said that both of them were so happy after the treatment with me. The

next day, they went to Las Vegas without seeing her doctor. They

though it might be fine. THey enjoyed there with the slot machines

for 4 days. Suddenly the pain come back and she was brought to the

Emergency. It was found that she had a twisted intestine and it was

blocked. The surgery was performed and she died because of the

surgery's infection.

She told me , " It is not your fault doctor. YOu had advised us to

see our family doctor which we did not. I came here to tell you what

had happened and appreciated your concern. "

 

NOTE : I DO NOT TAKE SERIOUS CASES OR SEVERE CASES IN MY OWN

neither present my sole treatments will be a cure. I prefer to their

family doctors or ones I known. Beside, I write down on the chart -

that date- with advice to see their own doctor.

 

Whatever we might call it " Minor illnesses " we treat, fine to me.

I am extremely happy to take care of minor illnesses because I will

be free of trouble.

 

WE ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE A BACKDOOR IN CASE OF A BACKFIRE !!!

 

A different case : A special friend of mine, acupuncturist, had an

ovarian cancer. Her oncologist suggested a chemotherapy. She was in

fear, asked her acupuncturist friends. Ten out of ten advised her not

to take chemotherapy which was very dangerous and offered her some

cancer formulas. All of them were so sure that their formulas were

highly successful in all cases. However, when she present one formula

to another. Most of them said, " Oh, these formulas are fine but they

are too weak. Mine here are much stronger and for sure they are much

better. "

When she asked me, I resplied : YOu must have chemo as your

specialist requested. Do not listent to all of your garbage friends.

I do not if they have ever treated any cancer patient and if they

had - how many had died?Go and have your chemo, then taking your

supplement herbs for support.

She took my advice and went with chemo. I do not know if you are

all agreed with me, but I am truly concerned with the patient's

health not with my formula or other hand-down formulas. Cancer

problem is just like a thing on-fire if ti is not put down

immediately, there are no time to stop it.

I STRICTLY DO NOT BAD-TALK ABOUT OTHER PROFESSION BUT GIVE THEM

RECOGNITION. Reversely, we , TCM often says : Oh, Chemo is dangerous

and produces serious illnesses... What a badtalk, non-ethical and non

professional !!!

 

THANK FOR YOUR POINT OF INTEREST.

 

GOOD LUCK !!!

Dear Dr. Rosenberg,

 

I use acupuncture treatments to immpress patients for instant

results, most of the time. Herbal formulas are used to consolidated

the treatments and to supplement my income. Without acupuncture, I

have other skills to build their trust. Talk is cheap. People need

proofs. If my diagnosis is accurate and my treatments bring no result.

I am out of the game " Big mouth " .

There are cases of acuphobiac patients who are difficult to

convinced that herbs will help. I must build their trust. I think I am

stronger in herbs than acupuncture, but in combination I have more

confidence.

If you come up with a diagnosis different between acupuncture and

herbal medicine views, you should reobserve your diagnosis. THere must

be a missing link.

 

GOOD LUCK !!!

 

Nam Nguyen

Sorry,

I strongly disagree. There are overlaps between herbal/internal

medicine diagnoses with acupuncture/moxabustion, but their original

criteria are different. Acupuncture is more closely aligned with

channel theory, herbal medicine with zang/fu visceral bowel pattern

differentiation.

Dr. Rosenberg,

I appreciate your opinions and your views. You may

have something strong which I need to learn from. I

think you are perfectly right in many ways.

I do not try to differentiate the two, but join them

and try to see the entire picture. I try to make thing

as simple as I can and I am only concerning in

results. Probably , this is my weakness.

I wish there are somebody or you would help me

further to strengthen my diagnosis and my treatments

to help our patients.

Thanks for your points of views.

 

Sincerely,

Nam Nguyen

Dear Nam,

You don't need my help, I think. It is obvious you are very

experienced and knowledgable. It is always difficult to communicate

via e-mail in forums, so much is lost when you do not know the

person, see them work on their patients. We only have words to

communicate with. My concern is not with your ability to practice,

but with those students and practitioners who may misconstrue what

you say and over-simplify the diagnostic basis for treatment, whether

with acupuncture or herbal medicine. The ability to embrace

simplicity comes with deep experience and study of the Chinese

medical classics.
