Hello Folks! Couple questions on perfusion protocol:
1. Would it still be effective to use the perfusion principle with only estiming 1 side? For example, pain in the left arm, using perfusion principle on only Left side UB 11-UB15 on the left side and connecting the leads to UB 11-Ub12?
2. In Exstore the leads are attached to right needle to left needle. Would if be effective to attach leads on all left side and all on right side? or must they be attached Right needles to Left needles. For example Right UB 11 to Right UB 12 leads on this side and then Left UB 11 to left UB 12, and so forth.
Thank you, Tina

I wanted to follow up on this case to discuss possible medication removal resulting in improved and consistent firing compared to when she was on the medication. Sudden improvements in mental state, confidence in movement, and improved strength.
There is a medication called Auvelity. Its a combination of Dextromethorphan and Wellbutrin (bupropion).
Dextromethorphan is normally used as a cough suppressant in OTC cough syrups from what i understand by reducing the overfiring of nerve impulses that cause cough. In higher doses though it can cause loss of some motor function, make it harder to coordinate movement, and can impair some receptors associated with memory. It can be classified in higher doses as a dissociative drug like ketamine. It is used recreationally by some people.
2-3 weeks off of this medication she feels alive and coordination is phenomenal but I saw changes week 1 ...
NIH Safety and Efficacy External Link
Found this the other day and wanted to share. Very good article to external link to show clinical research on many areas with acupuncture along with safety and efficacy in one place.

Sorry for missing the comments — I spent the last four hours in clinic treating 20 patients using electro-acupuncture. The invitation for tonight’s 8:30 PM webinar still stands and is open to everyone, including those who may have expressed themselves less professionally here. Anonymous attendance is welcome for anyone who prefers it:
