How interesting, Mike! It sounds like you're really enjoying the class and

learning a lot! You'll be a walking encyclopedia yet!

Some Techniques re Heart Attacks, Seizures, Asthma

Two days down; two to go.

One of my classmates holds multiple tickets. He is an M.D.,an LMP,

and an Acupunturist. (He took his medical school training in China,

so of course the state of Washington won't let him practice medicine

here without going back to med school.)

At any rate, he was telling me three " interesting " techniques that I

will pass along. They are for stopping a heart attack, stopping a

seizure and stopping an asthma attack.

To stop a heart attack while it is happening, grab the person's LEFT

little finger with your left hand. At the same time, put the tips

of your first, second and third fingers of your right hand on the

thoracic vertebrae between the shoulder blades, roughly T4-5-6.

To stop a seizure, grab both thumbs, one in each hand.

To stop an asthma attack, grab their left middle finger with your

left hand. At the same time, put the tip of the middle finger of

your right hand on T3 - roughly on a line with the tops of the

scapulas.

We are also learning some new points and ways to combine points.

After class is done, I will post a few of them. One is for stopping

excessive menstrual bleeding and I know that subject has come up a

couple of times recently.

Mike,

First, I don't get on very often. Working full-time wears me out. Been around

now though for about 8-9 years or so. I'm an friend of Barb's Mother-in-Law

Pat. Anyway, can any of the above techniques be done by the individual

involved? Well, maybe not the heart attack, but like the asthma one? It might

come

in handy if it could be done yourself.

I've been reading a lot of the posts lately about the various body work.

I've got the Trigger Point Workbook (not the exact title but you've mentioned it

recently) and some of it has helped a lot!!!! Finding some of them takes a

bit of work though. But, when nothing else is working, it seems to give relief.

Now if I could just get things to stay relieved, but with HEDS that's

probably not possible totally. Anyway, you have really added a lot to the

discussions - thanks!

-----------------------

There is a variation for the heart attack one that someone could do

themself if they are flexible enough to reach up and over with their

left hand to get to the spine between the shoulder blades. Instead

of grabbing the left little finger, stick it in your mouth and BITE

the sides of the little finger at the base of the fingernail. That

is the cross-over point between the heart meridian on the inside and

the small intestine on the outside of the finger.

I don't know how to do the seizure on your own because it takes two

hands to grab the two fingers.

I do, however, know of a different technique for asthma attacks. I

have not used it personally but it is one that one of my instructors

has had first hand experience with. It is Kidney 1 on the bottom of

the feet. There are two pads on the ball of the foot, with the

division being basically on a line with the second toe. Come down

onto the arch just off the pad below the second toe. Press into the

spot on both feet.

Don't feel bad about having trouble finding some of the points -

some of them are difficult to locate. As for getting relief and

keeping it, that is one of the beauties of the eastern/energetic

approaches. They may be treating symptoms and in that sense be a

form of suppression therapy like meds. But unlike most of the pain

meds, they can also effect long-term changes if you keep doing

them. It won't happen with one or two sessions and it won't happen

overnight, but they can make lasting changes for some things. And

trigger points fall in that category.
