I'm Sorry and I Should be Flogged for Not Doing This

Hi Supporters,

The community is about to get a whole lot cleaner. All video content will now be presented a lot better.

All videos are being uploaded DIRECTLY to this community now. No external links. No clogging up the News Feed (when viewing from laptop).

What this means:

On laptop/desktop: All videos including webinars and recorded Q&A and round table sessions can be found under 'Content' in the menu on the left hand side.

On your phone using the app, all videos will be right in the news feed and can be played right in the app. It looks a heck of a lot better.

The News Feed will be cleaned up and primarily for Supporters to post case studies, questions, and comments as y'all have been doing already. It will just look better.

Thank you! I'm still learning and always looking to improve things.

Perfusion vs. Blood Pressure

Hello,

Lately, I have been using relatively extensively the perfusion treatment, particularly on a patient suffering from MS. The benefits in this latter case were quite amazing, i.e., a significant improvement of energy and mobility, as well as of the general spirit. I treated this patient with almost exclusively EA perfusion treatments in the upper (T1-T5) and lower (T10-S2) segments, with weekly sessions over a period of 6-8 weeks.

This being mentioned, I also started wondering if the perfusion treatment may also offer benefits in terms of high blood pressure. Research has shown that acupuncture can reduce both the systolic BP (~ 5–10 mmHg) and the diastolic BP (~ 3–6 mmHg), as a result of (i) a reduction of the sympathetic nervous system, (ii) an increase of the parasympathetic activity, and (iii) the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin, and nitric oxide. An improvement of the vascular function and peripheral circulation is also evoked as a possible ...

If external rotators for the shoulder show weak in the exstore scan, how do we address this?
