Free Webinar: Acupuncture Proof, Placebo and Powerful Marketing

Editor’s Note: This webinar on acupuncture evidence and marketing was presented live in 2016. The educational content remains relevant. Have you ever had someone ask you for acupuncture proof? Or have you ever been told that “it’s just placebo”? I have, and more regularly than I ever expected I would. Clearly, word gets around that it can’t be proven, or it doesn’t actually work. Acupuncture is widely maligned in “science” and the popular press as nothing more... Read more

Well, it Happened. How do we Move Forward?

Post-apocalyptic Acupuncture Practice Opportunities Wow. Almost nobody saw it coming. We thought it was a sure thing; the outcome was a foregone conclusion. And yet, when it hit, it caught nearly everyone by surprise, resulting in shock, fear, uncertainty, even outrage. Who even suspected we’d end up here? No, I’m not talking about the election—yet. But I easily could be, couldn’t I? The scenario does have a certain familiar ring. Actually, I was talking about the Great... Read more

What is the Graph REALLY Showing?

Editor’s Note: This post references the 2016 ACEP conference. The clinical insights about graph interpretation remain relevant. This year, just for a change, I attended the ACEP conference in Santa Clara, California. It was a great experience, but what was most surprising was what it taught me about AcuGraph and the “energy” it measures.  You might be surprised at what I learned. I’ll cut to the chase and tell you up front, AcuGraph is measuring more than... Read more

Lasers are Beautiful!

I have a lot of wellness patients in my clinic who come in for regular tune-ups. Most of them no longer have extreme problems, but they still love to come in for acupuncture on a regular basis. I think it’s because I spoil them. Lately, I’ve been doing something new on both old and new patients. New patients don’t realize that my technique is new, but long-term patients are noticing that something is “different” with... Read more

AcuGraph is celebrating a Birthday!

AcuGraph 5 is turning 1 year old this week. When I realized this, it made me sit back and think for a few minutes about a few things: AcuGraph 1 was first available for sale in the fall of 2003. This 1 year birthday of AcuGraph 5 is also a celebration of 13 years of continuing AcuGraph innovation and development. That’s quite an accomplishment, and one I’m very proud of.
