In it he describes his experience using acupuncture to treat himself. He is also writing a book on how he treats many conditions to share his 30 years of experience. Thee book I am working on now is tentatively called “Treating with Charge: A New Way to Use Acupuncture and a New Understanding of how Acupuncture Works”. He has had an article published in “Acupuncture Today” on what the meridians really are in Western terms. His 2nd book has just been released is called “Scientific Acupuncture”where he describes how to do all the treatments he uses in his clinic and how they work. He calls his version of acupuncture Scientific Acupuncture since he can explain how they all work from a scientific point of view and everything he does is based on how it works. This goes from his needling techniques to the many electro-acupuncture treatments he uses, many of which he developed himself. His specialties are Electro-Acupuncture and Scalp Acupuncture. Over 80% of the patients he treats find at least some relief. He has designed and tried to build electro-acupuncture machines one that can do everything including some treatments he has developed himself (He couldn’t get a manufacturer do it for him). And he is continuing to design more treatments. His latest is a treatment for Cataracts that will also help for the dry type of Macular Degeneration.
