SV: pulse diagonis

[Guest guest]

Hi members of CHA

I just wanted to make a few comments about pulse to see if anyone had any

ideas as to what is happening in what I describe below.

For the past four years at the college in Christchurch New Zealand I was

asked to teach the pulse. My classes were small, 9-12 people and it was run

over a 8 week 3 hour per week term. For the first half of the class I went

through theory mainly using Flaws book on pulse and also using some

overheads from Seiferts Li Shi Zhen pulse book. I am teaching first year

students. Then we would set up tables and feel pulses of each other.

Now for 3 years in a row something very interesting has happened.

All the keen 1st year students would ask me what pulse is this ,is this a

wiry/bowstring pulse? etc.

I would take a pulse of a student and then come to a conclusion eg bowstring

on the left liver position, fine overall etc and say to a student " here

.....feel a bowstring pulse " . So about 3-4 studnets would feel the pulse and

then the last student would say " this does not feel bowstring " . Another

student would feel again and also say the pulse has changed.

Then I come back and yes , the pulse is no longer bowstring and all the

pulses have changed dramatically in a space of 15 minutes.

 

I see that all the time. Especially in almost healthy individuals. The touch

of others change the pulse, especially the intent of others. Thjis makes it

very difficult to have sudents in your practise.

 

Now, these students are not practising any kind of qi gong , massage or

anything to influence the status of health of the patient. I know many

acupuncture practitoners go by the rule that the pulses must change during

the needling in order to acertain that the treatment is doing something.

I have suspected that even the intent of an acupuncture practitoner could

influence the pulse but what has happened here at college has ruled that

out.

Do pulses just change with the ebb and flow of the day even after after 15

minutes? Are some acupuncture practitoners just concluding the wrong things

because the pulses have changed during a treatment? Does just touching

someone change the pulse?

 

I diagnose the animals (in 20 years), by having someone to touch them, and

then read the change in the touching humans pulse.

A story; I was pulsing a horse outside my home. The friend of the owner

walked up and down the street. When he came closer to the horse, the

SP-pulse of the horse decreased, when he went away, it was becoming stronger

again. I said to the friend; you have a weak spleen. he told me that he had

been in hospital for 14 days just for his weak spleen, and he was amazed

that I could feel that on such a great distance.
