Question

CONTROL - 5 Elements

Answer 1

FIRE/ Taste - Tongue, Complexion, Pulse EARTH/ Tactile-Lips, Flesh-Lips METAL/ Smell-Nose, Skin, Body hair WATER/ Hearing-Ears, Bones, Hair WOOD/ Eyes, Muscles, Nails

Answer 2

* RUNNING THE MERIDIAN: from High # to Low # weakens assoc. strong muscle from Low to Hidh strengthens assoc. weak muscle * SHORT CONNECTION MERIDIAN: 1. connects end of one meridian to beginning of next 2. connects some meridian to specific acupoints * MIDDAY/MIDNIGHT: 1. * Refers to opp. relationship on the 24 Hrs circulation of Energy 2. a strong stimº to one the opposite effect ton the midday/midnight meridian. The effect is magnified if stimulus is applied during the PEAK TIME * ALARM POINTS: Dx & Tx in Classical Acupunture * TSING & AKABANE POINTS: Entry & Exit Points on **finger ant toetips**(aide to transmit energy to the next meridian) * HSI POINTS: Supercharger points, stimulated when level of energy is very low

Answer 3

* SOURCE POINT: x4 more active than any other points on meridian. Locates on Writ and Ankle . aka NAKATANI * TEISTEN: non piercing needle for acupoint stimº * x1 FEN . 1/10th of the TSUN * LAW OF STIMULATION: stimº will first cause Activity, followed by eventually Sedaton, and finally anethesia * LAW OF DEFICIENCY: if there is no need, stimulus will be ignored (stimulating a point that is inactive will have repercussion) * COMMAND POINTS: each meridian has **x5 Command Points** one for each Element. They are used to transfert the energy according to the 5 Elements Law

Answer 4

* in classic Dx, first Superficials are felt then Deep with stronger pressure 1. Superficial / Yang Meridians 2. DEEP / Yin Meridians * If Pulse is STRONG / Excess of Qi, if Pulse is WEAK / Lack of QI * In AK: points are separated by about a patient's finger width. GV & CV 1TSUN distal from distal pulses * More than 1 point can TL * In AK meridian Dx is more effective determining the Deficient Meridians. the Assoc. Weak Muscle will test strong with TL on the Alarm Point * SUBCLINICAL: no +ve TL but +ve when patient STOP BREATHING (no diaphragm mobility will lower the general level of energy in the meridian's system) * D. Leaf (flowchart) no Pulse Dx, check: 1. Dehydration (wet skin) 2. Hold Breath 3. Test in Gait

Answer 5

Background: * muscles have a mixture of aerobic & anaerobic fibers, with dominance of one type * AEROBIC : Slow Twitch Fibers - Postural Muscles (require myoglobin for O2 and Fat for convercion to ATP) * ANAEROBIC: Fast Twitch Fibers - Phasic Muscles TEST; 1. Strong Muscle in Clear AND not WK w/ TL to 5 IVF factors (if does correct first) 2. AEROBIC TEST: 10 Contractions during 10 seconds - ANAEROBIC TEST: x20 contractions during 10 seconds POSITIVE TEST. weakening of the muscle before completing the number of contractions, WK eliminated with TL to NL or NV TREATMENT: AEROBIC WKNESS 1. only **1 muscle**; **Fe++** 2. **>1 muscle**;:**EFA** 3. NL or NV that eliminate (M/C NL sometime both) ANAEROBIC WKNESS 1. only **1 muscle : B5** 2. NL or NV that eliminate TREATMENT IN FLOW CHART - DAVID LEAF in sll types of weakness test and Treat NL AEROBIC: 1. If muscles on same extremity - Treat Vascular Communication Circuits (BCEC) 2. Muscles on the opposite Extremity - **Fe++** i.e. Lower-Upper Extr 3. only 1 MUSCLE - Set exercise Routine (less reps than +ve test) ANAEROBIC 1. mucles on same extremity - same as above (BCEC) 2. Muscle on opp extremity **B5** 3. only 1 Muscle - set exewrcise Routine BOTH AERO-ANAEROBIC WKNESS 1. need of **EFA** **SPECIAL NOTE** A predictable weakness not found - e,g Psoas, glut Max in +ve ADAM's TEST (scoliosis)= it could be a AERO/ANAERObic Muscle dysfunction
