[Acupuncture-students] ten acupoint for all disease

[gregory budiman]

Thanks a lot for the information. 
But how is the method of puncture of each points? Tonify or reducing methode, or only retain the needle for.....minutes?

Hi Gregory!

Maybe the "Miriam Lee Great Ten" - Sp 6, St 36, LI 11, L 7 and LI 4 
bilaterally - ten needles. Supposed to be an all-purpose treatment you can 
use on the fly, without differentiation. I tried it when I was a beginning 
intern because I was very confused by it all and didn't know what I was 
doing. All the patients got better right away so now I always use it, as 
well as other points, and I do now do differentiation. Link to her book, 
"Insights of a Senior Acupuncturist", watch for the word-wrap.



> From a "doctor business" point of view, it works too good - the patient is 
cured immediately and doesn't come back. If he/she thinks he/she is cured 
after one treatment and then the condition later comes back, the conclusion 
in his/her mind is "Acupuncture doesn't work". Now, I don't treat until the 
fourth visit. They have been sick for months or years before they get to 
me, what is a week more? First visit I tell them what information to gather 
for the next visit, list of meds and so on, second visit I take a complete 
history and exam, third visit I do a report of findings and maybe sell them 
some herbal pills.
