Summary: Blood-sugar levels were assessed before and after 200 applications of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in 32 patients. The results were as follows: An average decrease of 1.54 mmol/lt in 70.5%; an average increase of 0.82 mmol/lt in 28%; and unchanged results in 1.5%. Longterm sugar HbA1c was reduced by an average of 1.23%. The most efficient application of LLLT was with the red intravascular laser using a frequency setting of 3323 Hz, the insulin frequency. Further studies are necessa...

Micosystems of the human body are used in various areas of healthcare and wellness practice from acupuncture to reflexology — with traditions of use well before the developments in modern medicine. Microsystems, as respective to acupuncture specifically, have helped expand the field of acupuncture from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to a variety of methods now practiced worldwide with the use of needles, pressure, Low Level Laser, and electro-stimulation. Microsystems are based on the ...

The Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS) is a physiological response of the neurovascular system of the body to information being brought into its energy field. This response is palpated on the wall of the radial artery. The discovery of the VAS by Dr. Paul Nogier in 1966 brought an energetic diagnostic tool to the world. Muriel Agnes, founder of the Canadian Institute of Auricular Medicine (CIAM), studied the VAS to explore mechanisms for understanding the VAS. The studies include a clinical demo...

Physicians who practice medical acupuncture, often provide acupuncture treatment in cases where patients have reportedly “failed” to respond to contemporary Western medicine, and have found provide considerable benefit. Physicians appreciate an understanding of the biologic evidence, and in the paper, "Acupuncture: The Search for Biologic Evidence with Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography Techniques," Zhang-Hee Cho, PhD, and his colleagues present comparis...

David Alimi at Neurosciences Society used Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate the direct relationship of auricular reflex zones (acupuncture points on the ear) to corresponding points on the body. Request the full paper on ResearchGate Reference:Alimi D, Geissmann A, Gardeur D.

In an article by Dr. John M. Ackerman, the subtle energy research initiated by the orthopedic surgeon, Joseph H. Navach, MD, is highlighted. Work, that has focused on a dermal-vascular reflex to an autonomic nervous system response known as the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS). VAS palpation has been used for fifty years by thousands of physicians around the world as part of auricular acupuncture and auriculomedicine applications in, or supplementing, their clinical practice. The purpose of th...

Prof. Serguei Timochevski achieved blind testing respective to the VAS with the Acus system he developed in November 1996. He observed a concordance between detection achieved by the VAS and electrical differential detection plus “a general concordance of 90% between detection by the Acus system and electrical detection.”  Reference: Rouxeville, Y. Acupuncture auriculaire personnalisée. Sauramps Médical Montpellier; 2000:84-85,128-130.

Owing to the fact that analgesic drugs do not always offer adequate pain relief, cancer pain is a difficult problem for clinicians. For over 30 years, auricular acupuncture has been used in pain treatment, and recently has been used for complementary treatment in cancer pain. The authors report results from auricular treatment in a series of 20 patients with cancer pain. Read published research.   Reference:  Alimi, D., Rubino C., Leandri, E.P., Brulé, S.F. Analgesic Effects of Auricular Acup...

In a research study published by Kroening and Oleson, the application of a rapid detoxification procedure for narcotics was provided to 14 chronic pain patients to support withdrawal from opiate pain medications — and help reduce or avoid the severe withdrawal signs which accompany detoxification in chronic pain patients taking high levels of analgesic medications. After first switching all patients to oral methadone, each patient received bilateral electrical stimulation to needles inserted ...
