Brad Whisnant, DAOMYour vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.

Carl Gustav Jung

WHO AM IIn 2007 I lost it all in the financial collapse and went volunteering.85% of all millionaires go broke, its a fact..

I failed miserably the first two years in acupuncture. It was spectacular! Plastic surgeon, detox center, MD, allergist clinic, nurse practitioner, bio

identical, spa, wellness center, therapy combo, solo practice, house calls, group, volunteer, working hourly, ER hospital, herbal house call van deal, old folks home, 4 overseas volunteer trips

In my clinic, I see 100-110 people a week on my own, each patient individually, no group treatments, no assembly line acupuncture. I see 25-30 people a day, and I work 9-6/7pm, MondayTuesday- Thursday/Friday. My wife runs the front office, I do all the herbs, treating, insurance, cleaning, laundry, make herbs, ordering of supplies and materials. We have only been open since 2009 March. We were at 76 people first week. I DIDNT KNOW ANYBODY IN MY AREA! It was a small town, 12,000 people mostly of fisherman/farmers/blue collar workers, no acupuncture ever in the town.

Why am I here talking? Because I'm a novice. Because I'm new. Because I dont know that much. If I can do this? YOU ALL CAN!!! IM NOT SPECIAL!

WHO AM I Acupuncture

WHO AM I



Remember this!

Polio and the common cold- the significance? 200 countries in the world (about 193-196) 178th in infant mortality rate 38th in overall health care system 28th in life expectancy 13th in overall happiness 7th highest cancer country in the world 6th leading cause of death is Doctor mistakes (or 4th depending on study) 2nd fattest country in the World 1-2 men and 1-3 women (Americans) will get CANCER! Every 19 minutes somebody dies of prescription pain med overdose 50% of all heroin addicts; they got their start with prescribed pain meds 900% increase in babies being born ADDICTED TO PAIN MEDS. 90,000 people go the ER each year from acute liver failure because of Tylenol? 4.7% of population yet consume 80% of all pain pills We spend 2.5 more than all other countries on health care-out outcomes are usually lowest We take the most prescriptions than any other country America typically ranks LAST OR DEAD LAST in health comparisons of all industrial countries. Huh??????????????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

TUNG PREGNANCYI used the Pt. Numbers by Dr. Wei Chi young and Dr. Maher. MY pinyin is horrible ALL BOOKS can be purchased through Evergreen Herbs.

You can use your TCM with Tung if you want, just relax and breathe.

I usually about 5-15 pts, you can use less, its fine. You wont do well if you use too few points when you are learning. Dont you think a GREAT outcome is more important than holding strongly to an ideology of 2-5 pts? Breathe.

Please read my Tung Document attachment, it will tell you all about theory, we just dont have time in 2 hours. Theory is a 96 hour class, then a lifetime of continued study.

BUY A BOOK! What book? Pick one that you will like!

TUNG PREGNANCY

A great way to treat distally. Typically, I never do, treat the groin area or the breast area or the low back area.

I think treating pregnancy issues is a GREAT reason to start using distal points.

We need to treat systemically, RARELY is pregnancy is singleproblem

You need to ask for 3 cycles then you can give up on me. Western meds will ask for YEARS to get them pregnant. Use herbs and acupuncture IF POSSIBLE.

TUNG PREGNANCY GENERAL IMAGING, 80-20

The face is the groin area.

Lower wrist hand, lower ankle foot is groin area. Fingers and toes

Focus on LI- LI fixes KD, LV, ST Focus on SP- SP controls KID Focus on correct image Focus on usual culprits, KD, LV

TUNG PREGNANCY

Master Tung Acupuncture

Master Tung Ching-Chang, was one of the clinical methods he most frequently employed. This technique can succinctly be stated as follows: three points are needled simultaneously to profoundly obtain qi (De Qi) and rapidly effect a cure. Dr. Tung did not greatly concern himself with supplementing (Bu) or draining (Xie) needle techniques, but rather with powerfully obtaining qi (De Qi) to influence the Reaction Areas of the points needled. In this style of acupuncture, the more you obtain the qi, the quicker you got results. (Master Tungs lecture on Acupuncture, Dr. Maher)

TUNG PREGNANCY

WOMEN80-20 rule

TUNG PREGNANCY- POSTPUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

So all the post stress, crying emotional aspects.

As wells a retained fetus, parts, stuff, poor periods, discharge.

Herbally? Do your differentiation OF COURSEbut a nice way to start for 30-90 days is the blossom series for women

And men? Give them blood movers and yang tonics. We want more testosterone and more blood flow. Almost all yang tonics are great for sperm production, DNA of sperm, motility, morphology, etc.

TUNG PREGNANCY- DURINGI'm not a huge of fan of treating DURING pregnancy.

If they have pain? Do what Dr. Tan does, 1-2-3 and treat it. It will probably come back because, duh, they have the child in them.

Usually, I treat the morning sickness etc. Works great.

Usually during pregnancy, I do more ears, head, heat lamp, hot packs, etc. I needles, pregnancy, and America legal system? I dont like it.

reaction area neurophysical acupuncture. This reflects the knowledge of the delicate energy of the body and the neuroanatomical and neurophysiologic aspects of the body. This acupuncture style also corrects and heals the body through the manipulation of the peripheral and central nervous system by affecting the neuraxis, the actual anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the body. (advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Dr. Maher)

TUNG PREGNANCY

MEN



TUNG PREGNANCYLess than 2% of all men are treatedMEN are responsible for 40% of infertilityHUGE MARKET for any practitioner to expand their practice

90% of all men will come in for pain. You need to be GOOD/GREAT at treating pain. Once you fix that, then they will almost ALWAYS open up to you, I have this issue or that issue

Here are the typical ranges for men:Age: 20-40 testosterone level: 400-1,080 Age: 40-50 testosterone level: 350-890-

Im 43 and am now 860, but was 420

Age: 50-60 testosterone level: 250-750Age: 70 or above testosterone level: 250-650

TUNG PREGNANCY Two top things you see in your clinic: From your TCM point of view

Need to lower stress/increase circulation Liver qi, move qi move blood Side note, if you penis isnt working? It means your heart is in

trouble. Canary in the coal mine. Increase hormones, adrenals/thyroid

Kidney yin and yang, really focus on thyroid and adrenal function

Thyroid test? Do you know? T4/T3, TSH, high T4 but low T3 conversion? This is important stuff, western docs dont get it.

Kidney yang/qi/yin all that? The Chinese didnt separate the kidneys from the adrenal glands. Its the adrenals.

TUNG PREGNANCY HERBS Look at Evergreen Vitality, and Vital Essence, Kidney Yang Tonic, Kidney

Yin Tonic, Imperial Tonic, Vibrant, Circulation SJ etc.

Great stuff to start with.

Look at Thyroforte, low thyroid, adrenal function great stuff

Look at Calm ES with Circulation SJ. Calms shen, moves blood. (dont be scared about Circulation SJj) If you prefer Jia Wei Xiao Yao San, Yi GanJian, Chai Hu Long Gu Mu Li Tang, Ban Xia Hou Pou Tang, etc etc

All these are or should your base, 50% of your formula then modify.

TUNG PREGNANCY Stress, adrenals, cortisol, desire 6603-4, 1010.22 biyi, 77.18-19-21

77.27 Great for any stagnation, stress blockage

22.08-09 on SI Channel, reaction are of Kidney

11.01-2-3-4 and Dr. Mahers 3 finger yang. The LI is so great, the LI gets KID, LV, ST

1010.01-5-6-8 stress on the DU channel, with Ear Shen men, Ear pt zero, An Mian

Very nice head tx for men, when they are stressed about the whole thing

FINAL THOUGHTSSome basic points

You can add these in with your TCM points if you feel safer

These point are used 80% on all pregnancy cases (pre/during/post)

These points can be used on woman AND men.

Infertility is not easy

You will be usually, working in conjunction with other providers

You will need 2-3 cycles before you can make an opinion

Dont just treat the woman, look at the man as well

FINAL THOUGHTSI found my own truth through 50,000 patients and continue to find my

way

You dont have to listen to me

Use ANY teacher, as a guide.

You must WALK THE PATH

YOU MUST LEARN YOUR OWN TRUTH
