Ancient acupuncture with modern tools.

Enjoy… Don’t forget… AcuGraph 4 discounts all end on June 15, so be sure to order before then. The price of both new system purchases and the software upgrade will be increasing significantly. Don’t... Read more
A very sincere thank you to everyone who has responded with such positive comments about AcuGraph 4 both via email and on the blog. My favorite discourse was with Dr. Ralph Wilson… Via email early in the morning he asks this question: Hi, I seem to have successfully downloaded the sofware. I would like to use the new cover page, etc. How do I find where to do that? Thanks, Ralph W. Then, later that... Read more
Hello Everyone, Just taking a quick break from the rush of AcuGraph 4 upgrades to post a tip. I often get asked about graphing children and infants. People want to know if it’s appropriate to do so, and the answer is YES. I originally was introduced to Ryodoraku acupuncture years ago when I took my newborn daughter to the acupuncturist because she wasn’t sleeping very well at night. The acupuncturist used an old manual Ryodoraku... Read more
I’ve got good news on a couple of topics for you today. First, since my last post, I’ve heard from a number of you and the message is clear: When can we see AcuGraph 4?

We’ve been extremely busy here with a flurry of... Read more

Here’s a tip: Don’t graph your patient if their hands have spent the last few minutes in water. Allow me to illustrate. The other day I decided to graph my wife at home. We had just finished cleaning the kitchen and doing dishes, so her hands had been continually wet for about 15 minutes. Take a look at her graph: Note that all... Read more
Hello Again! I’m back, having spent most of last week at the Society for Acupuncture Research 2010 International Conference. All I can say is WOW! This year’s conference title was: Translational Research In Acupuncture: Bridging Science, Practice & Community.

Greetings and best wishes for 2010! What a busy year-end it’s been–and what a great year! 2009 was certainly an exceptional year, and not just in bad ways. I’ll write more about that later, but for today, I’d like to show you a quick case. Take a look at the following PIE Graph: What do you think? Honestly, if someone showed me this PIE without any other information, I’d think, “Hmm. Score is just a... Read more
I was in Kansas City last weekend where I taught a module on meridian graphing at the Acupuncture Society of America. I ran across an interesting case: One of the students in attendance at the seminar had slipped the night before and fallen down some stairs onto concrete. She landed on her right side and noted that she had pain in her right hip and the right side of her back, as well as her... Read more
