Ancient acupuncture with modern tools.
So, I have this problem that’s been bothering me more and more lately. Every time I think about it, I’m reminded of my kids… As you may know, I have a lot of kids–9 of them in fact. It’s a fairly common occurrence for my kids to complain to me about one problem or another. After years of experience with this, I have settled on a standard answer I give all of them now. “There...

A few weeks back, late on a Friday afternoon, I was getting ready to pack up and go home for the weekend. Almost everyone in the office was already gone. Oddly, I heard the bell ring as one of our blog followers walked in the front door. Imagine my surprise! Because Miridia Technology is located Idaho, we don’t have very many walk-in customers. Dr. Matthew Grippi, a practitioner from Eagle, Idaho, was intrigued by a... Read more
Do you remember your life before email, cell phones, and internet? Even though it’s fun to reminisce about the olden days, I can’t imagine trying to live my life NOW without them. I love the world of modern technology I enjoy now! It’s hard to believe Auriculo 3D has already been on the market for well over a year. I was just looking at an old blog post from early 2012 where I shared “A... Read more

Wow, I’ve had a couple of really stressful days–leading to feelings of anger and frustration. This morning when I came into the office, I decided I needed some acupuncture. Dr. Larsen has been really busy and I hated to bother him–so I opted for a quick Auriculotherapy treatment. After he teased me a bit for coming to work cranky, we did a quick search for ANGER in our Auriculo 360 program, and came up with... Read more
This Shoulder Injury Healed Fast…. This Summer I’m going to be more careful. No shoulder injuries for me, I’ve learned my lesson! You see, last Summer my stepson was preparing to try out for football and he wanted to be a receiver. Receivers need to be good at catching the ball, so I decided to throw him a few hundred passes. Of course, I didn’t warm up…who thinks of that…right?! Boy did I... Read more
Hello Friends, Dr. Chris Teo has contributed another cancer case study. This one deals with before and after graphs in a breast cancer patient. We receive reports from many practitioners that use the AcuGraph to create a baseline score from which to measure improvement. Nutritionists, Naturopathic Doctors, Herbalists, Kinesiologists, Reiki, Bio-Feedback and Massage practitioners. Knowing your starting point and measuring improvement is valuable to both the practitioner and the patient! We appreciate Dr. Teo’s research.... Read more
A good tutor will give you an assignment with something to think about before your next tutoring session. I noticed that 5 of you posted your thoughts in comments on the blog. Perfect! So, how did the rest of you do? If you’ll recall…a couple of weeks ago I posted two graphs that were similar yet different, and a list of several questions to ponder. (If you haven’t read the first part, click here). If... Read more
This week Dr. Larsen is out of town, so we thought while he’s not here to stop us, we’d dig up and share a few gems from the archives: Now there is a point to showing you these pictures of Dr. Larsen from around 20 years ago: today we are announcing a free new update to Auriculo 3D, and...

Once you have used AcuGraph for a while, your graph analyzing skills become quite refined. Graphs begin to come alive and tell you a story of what is happening within your patient. Often, you begin to form a hypothesis before the patient even reveals their chief complaint. Who wants to practice graph analysis? I have two graph reports to share with you–from two different patients. Patient #1: Patient #2: Tell me what you see when... Read more
Hello Friends, If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve no doubt seen some of the excellent case studies submitted by Dr. Chris Teo. He runs a cancer care clinic in Malaysia that specializes in treating cancer with herbs and energy medicine. AcuGraph is an important tool Dr. Teo uses to monitor patient progress and adjust treatment. Today’s case is a very rare cancer called Pseudomyxoma Peritonei. This cancer spreads to the body cavity... Read more
A few weeks ago, I was visiting my daughter in Washington, DC. One of our goals for the trip was to do a little shopping–specifically to find a new spring purse! Unless you are a woman, you just don’t know how many details you need to think about when trying to find the PERFECT everyday purse. For example–here is an important consideration…My sister once told me the bigger your purse is, the smaller your butt... Read more
Are your ears burning? If not, then they SHOULD be! We were talking about you this morning in our Monday morning planning meeting. This morning’s topic of conversation focused a lot on auricular acupuncture. We are busily preparing for the long-waited re-release of the Stimplus Pro acupoint stimulator, which just happens to be the best handheld tool we’ve ever found for auriculotherapy. Yep–you heard me right. The Stimplus Pro will be back VERY SOON! I... Read more
I recently received an email from a practitioner asking some really important questions about AcuGraph. I thought many of you would benefit from hearing the answer too–so I’ll address it in today’s blog. Hi Kimberly, I have been in deep thought the past couple of weeks on how to really know how many treatments each patient needs. I have been starting patients out with 1 course of care (12 visits) and then doing a progress... Read more
Have you heard? April is has been proclaimed NATIONAL FINANCIAL CAPABILITY MONTH by Presidential Decree. The proclamation calls for helping people learn responsible budgeting, financial literacy and sound decision making. Sounds good…right? Since this proclamation was made on April Fool’s Day, there was a certain amount of chuckling. Some were sure it was a joke. But aside from the obvious irony of any branch of the Federal Government attempting to encourage responsible budgeting and sound decision... Read more
