You can slow or stop the spread of an infection with just acupuncture needles. It is actually very simple. This is especially good for superficial infections. In this case the area where the infection is tends to be hot and red (all signs of heat excess in Chinese medicine). There will typically be a ring of red skin de-marking the area that is infected. So, you just have to needle about a quarter of an inch away from the red area and all around it, with the needles spaced about one inch apart. But why would this do any good? There is actually a very good scientific explanation. And it has to do with electrical charge.
A friend of mine (another acupuncturist) once asked me if my treatment would work for infections too since they are both associated with heat. Off hand, I did not think so, but it got me thinking about it. So, it got me thinking about how a pathogen like a virus or bacteria infects a cell. Then it came to me, the pathogen must first attach to the cell membrane like a lock and key. And that involves charges on the cells and pathogens surface. And with charge, I can mess that up completely. But how was I to get both positive AND negative ions to the area? Then I realized that I could do it with just a needle! So, let’s go over how that happens.
The first part of the question was easy: every time you put an acupuncture needle in the body the free and loosely bound electrons on the surface of the skin go the needle and collect under the skin. The skin naturally holds electrons since the skin has both electrical resistance (resists the flow of electrical current(electrons) and electrical capacitance (can store electrons kind of like a battery). The electrons are attracted to the positive charge that occurs naturally on the underside of the skin. This difference in charge between the surface and underside of the skin has a voltage of as much as 90 mV depending on how charged up the skins capacitance is. This voltage is what drives the current of injury. These electrons become loosely bound to the positive charges under the skin. But the positive charges on the surface of the pathogen are looking for electrons too and have a stronger need for them (I like to think of it as a hunger) than the underside of the skin. So, they fill that part of the “lock” on the pathogens surface. And since there plenty of electrons to go around, everybody is happy. So, we get the electrons from the surface of the skin. But what about the positive ions? Where do we get them from? That is where structured water comes into play. Now it so happens that a typical acupuncture needle is made of surgical stainless steel. I so happens that stainless steel is naturally a hydrophilic surface. And hydrophilic surfaces naturally make structures water one layer at a time on hydrophilic surfaces when exposed to regular water and infrared energy (i.e. heat). And those conditions are met when you stick an acupuncture needle anywhere in the body. And that gets us exactly where we need to go since as a result of making structured water, a hydrogen ion (positively charged) is released into the extracellular fluid. So now we have our source of positive charge. And all from just a needle! So, the positive ions are attracted to the negative charges on the surface of both the pathogen and the cell. Thus, blocking the ability of the pathogen to attach to the cell. The electrons will be the first to act since they are freely available in quantity. The hydrogen ions will be slower to act since they take more time to become available. That is why you must needle all around the infection. Even the depth of insertion can play a role as well as the length of time you leave them in. We are even using the heat produced by the infection against it since heat is what drives the structured water production. And you don’t need to “get Qi” here since all this action has nothing to do with the nervous system. But is OK if you do get Qi, since it will help release endorphins to relieve pain. Maybe this is why we do not hear much about patients getting infections from acupuncture. One other advantage of this method is that it should even work on even antibiotic resistant bacteria.
And if you have a diabetic wound that is not healing, I can fix that too. There is a protocol in Frequency Specific Microcurrent that can heal diabetic wounds and speeds up healing of any wound. I have even modified it to treat the worst case of athletes foot that the doctor had ever seen (all over bottom of both feet).
