Environmental Illness, Acupunctural Sensitivity, Diagnosis and Treatment of Auto Immune and Herpes Syndrome
Acupunctural diagnostic points are called "Au Shi" points by the Chinese. They may or may not be located on known meredians, and may or may not be known points on a meridian.
Au Shi points are only sensitive during periods of illness, when the body's electrical systems is disrupted. Blockages of energy or Qi (pronounced "Chi") cause build ups of energy in inappropriate places-much like a tree falling into a stream blocks the water into a pond. When the water has collected more than what the banks can hold, it finds new routes- out of the pond or general flooding of neighboring areas until the tree is removed from the stream.
Au Shi points are the "ponds" of energy formed from blockages. They may also be from "ponds" seeking another outlet and tring the "jump" tracks, so to speak. When the condition is resolved in the body, they go away-just like the waters in the pond.
Over the thousands of years the Chinese have had to observe the comings and goings of Au Shi points and conditions associated with them, they have confirmed them to be "diagnostic" for many forms of illness and dysfunctions of the body. Our Western Medicines even uses several of these to diagnose- the most common being the one for appendicitis.
With the advent of new diseases and dysfunctions from environmental chemicals, that weren't around thousand of years ago when the " Bible" of Chinese Acupuncture was written, new Au Shi points have and still are being discovered. The ones we present here are documented to exist in horses as well as humans suffering Environmental Illness. We hope to update this list as more come to light.
Failures of Au Shi points:
CURRENTLY, ABOUT 1/3 OF THE NEW HORSES COMING IN FOR REHAB AND TO OUR SEMINARS ARE NUMB ON ALL ACUPUNTURE POINTS. THIS DOES NOT MEAN A NEGATIVE DIAGNOSIS, "AU SHI" OR DIAGNOSTIC THE ACUPUNCTURE POINTS TYPICALLY BECOME VERY SENSITIVE AFTER BEGINNING THE VITA ROYAL PROGRAM FOR 16 TO 72 HOURS. THEN THEY PROGRESSIVELY DISAPPEAR AS THE CONDITION RESOLVES.
THE CHINESE DESCRIPTION OF THIS PHENOMENON IS THAT THE ANIMAL IS ACTUALLY ENTERING A STATE OF DYING, AND THE QI (LIFE FORCE) HAS GONE VERY DEEP, AS IT DOES BEFORE DEATH.
THE VITA ROYAL PROGRAM RESTORES THE QI VERY QUICKLY SO THAT ACUPUNCTURAL DIAGNOSIS AGAIN BECOMES ACCURRATE.
THIS IS LIKENED TO A PERSON WHO GETS MUGGED ON THE STREET, AFTER WHICH, THOUGH HURT, CAN TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW BADLY THEY ARE HURT.
BUT IF THAT PERSON WAS HURT SO VERY BAD THAT THEY WERE LEFT UNCONSCIOUS, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN TELL YOU ANYTHING, MUCH LESS HOW BAD A CONDITION THEY WERE IN , UNTIL THEY GOT SOME MEDICAL HELP FIRST.I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER ACUPOINTS, IN BOTH HORSES AND HUMANS, THAT HAVE VERY BENEFICIAL EFFECTS WHEN BLOOD INJECTED. THEY WILL BE ESPECIALLY HELPFUL FOR DEPRESSED STATES, CHRONIC FATIGUE WITH HYPOTHYROID AND AUTOIMMUNE PROBLEMS. ALL OF THESE ARE ADDED TO THE ''EPM" POINTS, WHICH I CONSIDER REALLY TO BE "ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS" POINTS, AS THEY EXIST WITH OR WITHOUT ACTUAL INFECTION BY PROTOZOA WHICH BY ACUPUNCTURAL DIAGNOSIS ALONE CANNOT BE DETERMINED.
BLOOD INJECTIONS IN HORSES OF 2 TO 5 CC PER POINT CAN BE DONE AS FREQUENTLY AS WEEKLY, OR AS NEEDED. THESE POINTS ARE: LIVER 8, LARGE INTESTINE 10 AND 11, SMALL INTESTINE 9. NEW POINTS WILL BE ADDED AS THEY ARE DISCOVERED AND VERIFIED. HUMANS WITH E.I. DOING SELF-BLOOD INJECTIONS ON THESE POINTS HAVE REPORTED SUCCESS USING 1/2 CC PER POINT.
Environmental Illness /
It is important to understand that these points may be reactive with or without actual protozoal infection. This means that these points are more clearly associated with conditions that lead to EPM, EPDS which is actually an Environmental Illness. This means that "the doors to the body for infection are open, but it is not known if that infection has already entered." Looking at the blood under a microscope may help to give more information about an actual infection. The term EPM should be limited to the actual infection and not the Environmental Illness that comes first.
Injection of a patients' own blood to act as an auto immune stimulant was known and used many years ago in human and veterinary medicine, before the age of antibiotics. It is on that precept that we have incorporated this procedure in our approach to Environmental Illness and Equine Parasitic Disease Syndrome.
Recommendations for attending veterinarians; Identify the decribed Au Shi points. They will react bilaterally but in about 75% of all cases, right side reactivity will be more pronounced.
The horses will also exhibit sensitivity on the Immune point as sdepicted on the Auto Immune Sydrome chart, below. Points Bladder 46, Bladder 20, Gall Bladder 25 are used therapeutically. Inject B12 (Vitamin) in these points bilaterally. Leave needles in place until repolarization of tissues takes place. (Vibration of needles will stop.) ( use a 20 gauge 1 1/2" needle)
c. Upon cessation of needle vibration, IMMUNE POINT (behind arm) should disappear- DON'T POKE WHEN EVALUATING POINT REACTIVITY, Simply apply a firm gentle pressure.
d. Cessation of sensitivity on this point implies a good prognosis, suggesting the presence of a favorable immune response.
Also, refer to the following Herpes Syndrome diagram to locate the Specific Diagnosis point for Herpes Syndrome. Please consult my manual and tapes for furthere information on Acupunctural Diagnosis and Treatment as well as Van den Bosch's Equine Acupuncture Atlas.
For the Envirnomental Illness points, inject 5cc of the horse's own blood into each of the points, beginning with the front points (K27), then the left rear & lastly, the right rear. Then inject 2cc of B-12 into Bladder 46, Bladder 20, Gall Bladder 25 to see if the autoimmune point cleanses.
Some horses may need to be injected weekly, at least in the beginning, as gastric ulcers, liver toxicity from previous drugs, or immune suppression from corticosteroids, or immune exhaustion from excessive vaccination will require more time to resolve.
