One thing noone seems to understand about vaping, not even doctors. Innhaling even steam can be dangerous. That is because the heat from the steam can affect the cells lining the lungs. Heat is a form of energy. When that energy hits the cells and heats them up that causes the DNA of the cells to change the energy of the bonds and thus change the genetic expression of the cell. Generally changing the types of proteins produced by the cell. this is a known phenomena. Putting any type of energy into the system can cause this phenomena. So vaping is NOT harmless. Quite the opposite. Not that many doctors are aware of these facts. But I am an engineer and I do.

How potting energy into a cell can change them

Fot those of you that didn’t understand my last post here is some more information. Putting energy into the system changes the energy in the bonds of the DNA. So when the cell tries to make proteins based on the DNA, the chain will break at a different place than it would normally break, thus producing different proteins. Also, when the cell divides, it will also break the DNA chain differently, causing the cell itself to change. It is a well known phenomena that changing the temperature of a cell’s environment changes the kinds of proteins it will produce (changing genetic expression). And this effect is just from inhaling steam regularly. There will be additional potential problems from the chemicals used. It is just that the vape manufacturers and the FDA aren’t taking this into account when assessing the safety of vaping. Like usual, money over science.

Participate in Research Projects

I have decided to do my own research projects to demonstrate my antiinflammation treatment’s effectiveness in treating Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) as well as in Chronic Low Back Pain(CLBP). In order to get patients to participate, I will offer $10 treatments in order to cover the cost of supplies. For LBP patients, I require a radiologist’s report of X-rays, CT scan or MRI. For RA patients I just need proof of the diagnosis by an MD. I also require every patient to agree to come in for checkups 3, 6 and 12 months to document how long the treatments last. I let your body tell us how often you need to be treated. I have found that twice a week works best to start. That allows the treatment effect to build up. Some conditions require more frequent treatments. For example, treatment of opiate addiction requires twice a day treatment for the first day or two to help with the initial withdrawal symptoms. Once the improvement maintains itself without any backsliding, I know I can stretch out the treatments. from twice a week to once a week to once every two weeks to once a month. At this point the treatments will probably hold without further treatment, so I recommend coming in only if things act up again. For every patient, I will also need to know what treatments you’ve tried or are currently undergoing. Sometimes the best results are obtained by using both Western and Eastern treatments. Fortunately, acupuncture is compatible with most any other treatment. If you want to know more about me and my clinic visit my website at vackent.com. If you already want to participate call me at 206-850-7999 to set up an appointment.

Treating Chronic Low Back Pain(CLBP)

Many of the sources of pain in CLBP are the same as in the acute phase especially if they were not adequately treated in the first place. These are mostly from inflammation in nerve roots, attachment of muscle to bone and an inflamed Sacro-Iliac(SI) joint. The chronic inflammation causes it’s own set of problems which then show up later so  are often seen in the chronic cases. Pain causes muscles to get tight which then causes the attachments to get inflamed and painful. Chronic inflammation also can cause polarization of nearby tissues (usually the disk) which then causes a degenerative process to begin. I can stop the degenerative process but cannot repair the damage that has already occurred. In most of these cases my antiinflammation treatment be effectively used to treat them. Now if the disk is ruptured or severely herniated, surgery is probably the only solution. But I can treat the inflamed nerve roots. If there is pain ad the disk, it is probably degenerative in old folks.  In younger patients, it can be due to cracks in the disk which allow the liquid inside to leak out and injure the nerve. I have a treatment for that. Usually the back, chronic cases develop pain in the buttocks that can simulate sciatica and is often diagnosed as such even though it isn’t. It is actually because of pain causing a band of the Gluteus Maximus muscle to get tight. Acupuncture and electro-acupuncture are good at relaxing tight muscles. CLBP can also be caused from a poorly healed break. Or a break that wasn’t caught on X-rays, etc. So if the pain is actually on the vertebrae,  then I do a treatment that can cause the bone to heal. So if you have CLBP, I have the tools and knowledge that can in most cases help.

Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA)

RA is a difficult to treat ailment in Western medicine. It is understood that the condition is due to inflammation but the drugs for treatment of RA often have side effects or don’t work at all. Whereas, my treatment has worked every time I used it properly and has no side effects except possibly making you more relaxed due to the stimulation of release of endorphins.(which also helps with the pain). I will generally be working on the most painful points first which can change with each treatment. I cannot treat every place you hurt in one treatment because your body cannot take that kind of treatment but by also stimulating the release of endorphins, I should be able to relieve overall pain. Since my treatment stops inflammation, it can not only treat the pain but also stop the damage to the joint. However it cannot repair the damage that has already been done. Most people don’t think of acupuncture to treat RA but my new method works much better in treating inflammation than regular acupuncture or electro-acupuncture. Not only does it work, but I know exactly why it works, understand the potential problems with the method if done wrong and have perfected it. So if you have RA, I know I can help.

Repairing torn tendons, etc.

I can repair partially torn tendons, menisci, labrum, ligaments with a specialized form of electro-acupuncture. That can fill in the tear and strengthen the tendon, etc. It works best with tears less than 50%. The same technique can be used to speed repair of broken bones. It works through processes that have been observed in the body occurring naturally. I just use technology to simulate it. And the frequencies I use also stimulate the release of endorphins to block pain.

I have perfected a form of electro-acupuncture that works as good as cortisone without the downside. In particular, I can do it as many times as needed. I’m not limited to three like cortisone. So if we have trouble finding the right spot(which happens sometimes) it’s no big deal. As with cortisone, you have to get the spot where the inflammation is for it to work. Sometimes the area is large and you need to treat several spots in the same area (my treatment treats an area a little smaller than a dime). I have used it to treat successfully inflamed nerve roots of the spine, inflamed tendons(such as the Achilles tendon, carpal tunnel, medial and lateral epicondylitis, inflamed meniscus in the knee, plantar fascitis, inflamed Sacroiliac joint(common in low back pain),inflamed joints and inflamed attachment of muscle to bone, It will work on any inflammation I can get to with a needle(it should help with rheumatoid arthritis I just haven’t had a patient yet to try it on). Because it doesn’t have the limitations of cortisone and works just as well, you could say it’s better than cortisone. Since I am the one who thought this up and perfected it, no-one else knows how to do it unless I taught it to them. I have taught electro-acupuncture at Bastyr and SIOM where I did include it but of course they don’t have the experience with it like I do. One other thing I should mention, if you have chronic inflammation of thee nerve roots of the spine, you risk getting degeneration in the same area later on. This is because the negative charge associated with inflammation can cause polarization of surrounding tissues (usually the disk) which then causes the degenerative process. Has any doctor told you that? It the same process that the old joint replacements caused because the material they were made of easily became polarized which then caused the problems they had. They just haven’t applied that knowledge elsewhere. Just more proof they don’t know everything.

In addition, I also have a way to treat inflammation inside the body such as in the heart (which can cause an enlarged heart), in the intestines, Prostate etc. Here I use Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) which is not understood by Western medicine but my experience with it is that it does work when applied correctly. It is a form of needless electro-acupuncture and you don’t feel a thing(of course I can MAKE you feel it if you want but it is not necessary).

With all the news today about the prevalence of depression in our society I knew I had to do something. So I’ve decided to offer FREE treatments for depression! I just care more about people suffering from depression than I do about making money. Especially since I have the tools to treat it effectively. I have three tools that can change brain chemistry: Acupuncture, Cranial Electric Stimulation(CES) and a needleless form of electro-acupuncture called Frequency Specific Microstimulation (FSM). I have much experience in treating emotional problems including depression. I want to help when I can.

As an acupuncturist, I have treated many addictions, including heroin and methadone. In fact, I was trained in a diversion and treatment program in Portland, OR soon after I graduated. In my opinion, Opiate painkillers are too dangerous to be on the market at all. First thing that should be done is to take them off the market. Next comes treatment of those that have become addicted. Acupuncture should be a major part of treatment for one simple reason. That is because taking opiates slows and then stops their natural production in the brain. Acupuncture can stimulate that natural production thus helping with withdrawal symptoms. It can also help with the stress that often accompanies addiction. Of course, acupuncture is not a part of Western medicine. So I don’t expect our government to take advantage of what acupuncture offers. I expect the emphasis will be on more traditional approaches such as Western treatments and drugs. We’ll see. After all, it was Western medicine’s irresponsibility that got us into this mess in the first place. We should require that all other forms of treatment be tried first (including acupuncture) before any prescription for an opiate be allowed! I’m not saying all this just because I’m an acupuncturist, but because I’ve treated them and seen what works. In addition to acupuncture, these people also need some form of counseling to help them deal with the mess their life has become! With the right support, they can get their life back on track to being a productive member of society again. I’ve seen it happen!
