Mike - thanks for posting this info - as always I've learned a couple

new things - I'll get my homeschool degree in anatomy yet :-)

PS I know what the acpuncture/electrical stimulation thing is - it's

a stimplus and uses microcurrent. When it locates an acupuncture

point that needs attention it beeps fast - you activate it and you

get a small electrical current running through your body - with the

entrance at that point. Works great to relax local muscles. I carry

mine with me and have used it countless times to head off headaches.

Has a lot of other applications, but the only thing I've used it for

is to do acupressure on the points on my ears (which is called ?????

I forget).

Dear Mike,

Thank you so much for helping my daughter! It means so very much to me.

You are always trying to make life better for everyone, and you have helped

many of us directly and indirectly over the last few years. Am going to sit

and read your emails and Kristy's~~

, good news that Lindsey is feeling a bit better...it's hard to

watch these little ones hurt! Betty, you are so strong~I hope that knowing

so many love you and understand eases some of the pain and stress you are

having.

, I will phone you tomorrow............am glad you are home and safe.

Can't wait to chat.

I appreciate you all so much. Am going to bed tonite.& not stay on the

computer...it has been a very tiring day and it has caught up with me!

Is anyone else having trouble with the time change for Daylight Savings? I

have trouble going to sleep at night, and 6am seems to be coming far too

early! Y'all feel that way too?

hugs,

Sue J.

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

One of my Jin Shin Do instructors (the PT) has one and uses it in

her clinic work. She showed it to us when I took the acutonics

class. My first reaction was " neat - I need to get one of those. "

Then I found out the price and thought " no, I don't. " 's was

something over $100 but I don't remember the exact price.

For those not familiar with them, what they do is measure the

electrical conductivity of the skin. I can't remember off the top

of my head if there is more conductivity or less at the acupoints,

just that there is a measureable difference compared to the

surrounding skin. The stimplus detects that difference. My

interest was for use in precise location of points and for showing

other people. But sense I can pick up the different sensations with

my hands, I figured I would save the money and spend it instead on a

book or class.

Working ear points is called " auriculotherapy. " One of the major

premises of oriental medicine is called " As Above, So Below. " In

brief, this holds that different locations on the body have points

that represent the body as a whole. Another more familiar term for

most people would be Reflexology. The main body areas with points

of correspondence are the feet, the hands, and the ears.
