\"Jake<\/a><\/p>\n

This a part of a 4-series blog, if you haven’t read the first part yet, take a look at it here.<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

After I got home from Dr. Jake Fratkin<\/strong><\/span>\u2019s seminar, I pulled Meridian Therapy<\/em> off of the shelf and began devouring it from cover to cover. Stephen Brown autographed the book and wrote these words in the front cover: \u201cYin Leads, Yang Follows.\u201d<\/p>\n

The essence of the entire book is the fact that disease starts in the yin meridians. When a patient presents in your office with symptoms, this is a direct reflection of imbalances which first appeared in the yin channels.<\/p>\n

Chinese pulse diagnosis is another example of how excess or deficiencies can be detected in the body before symptoms appear. Denmei says: \u201cTurning one\u2019s attention to the yin aspect, or the whole picture, is given precedence over consideration of apparent problems or symptoms, which are yang.\u201d\u00a0 The real problem lies in the yin channels.<\/p>\n

Dr. Fratkin<\/strong><\/span> taught me that the deficiencies in the yin channels must be addressed first\u2014and that if you treat the imbalances that present in the yin channels\u2014the yang channels will follow suit on their own. He made a bold statement: \u201cIf you only treat the imbalances in the yin channels, 80% of the patient\u2019s symptoms will be alleviated.\u201d<\/p>\n

How does this apply to the use of AcuGraph?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

After you graph a patient\u2014Dr. Fratkin<\/strong><\/span> suggests that you focus your treatment on the problems that are presenting specifically in the yin channels. Then the yang channels will balance on their own. The initial goal in treatment is to find out which yin channels are weak and treat them.<\/p>\n

Balancing the graph is easy. Simply follow the basic treatment in the AcuGraph system. If a channel is deficient\u2014we treat the tonification point on that channel. If there is an excess in the channel, treat the sedation point on that channel. This is considered a root treatment. Shudo Denmei says that if we do not treat the root of the problem first, that the rest of the treatment will be less<\/span> effective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The graph shows a picture of what is happening in the body. Start taking a look at your graphs from a little different perspective. To the right of your screen, right under the baseline graph, click on the box that says Yin\/Yang. The yin channels will be on the left. For now, just ignore the yang channels that you see on the right.<\/p>\n

This patient has two<\/span> concerns:<\/p>\n

#1:<\/strong><\/span> The Spleen meridian is low\/deficient<\/p>\n

#2:<\/span><\/strong> The Pericardium meridian is high\/excess<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How would you treat this patient?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Treat the tonification point for the Spleen\u2014which is Spleen 2.<\/p>\n

Treat the sedation point for the Pericardium\u2014which is Pericardium 7.<\/p>\n

You have now balanced the energies in the meridians. My experience is that when the patient comes back the following week, the graph has begun to stabilize–and symptoms begin diminishing. Treating the imbalances in the graph is considered a root treatment and often takes care of 80% of the patient’s symptoms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why does it work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Illness or injury is directly related to qi\u2014either the quality of qi or the movement of qi throughout the body.\u00a0 Anytime the body is sick or injured, it is because the energy is not smoothly moving through the channels. The body knows how to heal itself. It will heal itself if the movement and quality of qi and blood is normal. AcuGraph creates a picture of where the imbalances are in the body\u2014and a plan on how to redirect the flow of qi.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t watched the AcuGraph demo video…what are you waiting for?<\/strong> Click the button to the right and take 8 minutes to catch up with what we’re talking about.<\/p>\n

In the next post, I will share with you why Dr. Fratkin<\/strong><\/span>, who has been practicing for 30 years, trusts the graph<\/span><\/em>, and the amazing transformation that happened in my practice when I started trusting the graph. Part 3\u2014Trust the Graph<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> will be coming out shortly.<\/p>\n
