Digestive Health1. The Physical function of the Small Intestine
The Small Intestine is a semi-permeable barrier that has a basic function of sorting the food we eat into:
•       Something to be used by the body
•       Something to be passed out as waste.
The outer surface of this barrier is composed of a mucous layer and is colonized by beneficial bacteria, and elements of the immune system.  Beneath this mucous layer are the epithelial cells of the Small Intestine. These cells are joined together by Tight Junctions, which are like a protein version of stitching.
Chinese Medicine describes the Small Intestine function thusly:
The Small Intestine presides over the division of solids and liquids
The Small Intestine directs the fluids to the Urinary Bladder and the Kidneys.
It governs the separation of the pure from the impure :
Most importantly, the Small Intestine is responsible for absorbing the nutrients from food. These nutrients enter into the Liver to be processed and then assimilated into the flesh and blood.

2. Dysfunction of the Small Intestine Function: Leaky Gut
Naturally, problems will develop when this barrier is not functionally intact. This is a condition known as “Leaky Gut Syndrome.” Instead of only allowing the purified essence of the food into the Liver, Impure substances enter as well. These impure substances can trigger inflammation, as the body tries to defend itself. These particles will get tagged by the antibodies of the immune system. This can lead to food allergies, and food sensitivities and the inflammation can set the stage for arthritis.
Major contributing factors to “leaky gut” are antibiotic use that decimates the colonies of beneficial bacteria and allows an overgrowth of Candida, and NSAID’s such as ibuprofen and aspirin.

3. The Mental function of the Small Intestine
In Chinese Medicine there is an understanding that there are mental & emotional functions coupled to each of the 12 organ systems. The mental functioning of the Small Intestine is analogous to the physical function of separating the pure from the impure. This involves a mental “sorting function”.  If your life involves a lot of sorting and separating, this taxes the energy of the Small Intestine system.  Typically, administrative work involves handling what is important vs. wasting time dealing with unnecessary tasks. An executive assistant’s job, for example is to act as a filter for the executive, and to provide the executive with only the necessary and important information, and to screen the less important calls, etc.

Such work can be a contributing factor to a decrease in the function of the small intestine. Conversely, a poorly functioning Small Intestine, will impair one’s ability to discern what is useful from the waste.

4. The Small Intestine & the Heart
The Small Intestine is a yang organ that is connected to the outside environment, even though it is inside the body. It is receiving all the food, drink, medication, drugs & chemicals from the outside that are put in the body through the mouth. Every yang organ has a yin (internal) counterpart. The Small Intestine’s yin counterpart is the Heart.  In these yin /yang organ pairs, a disease can transfer directly from one organ to the order.
Modern clinical research is bearing out this observation.  Congestive Heart Failure is associated with chronic inflammation, increased permeability of the wall of the small intestine and increased endotoxins from bacteria absorption.

5. The Small Intestine and the Liver
What the Small Intestine allows to pass into the body goes directly into the Liver. A second connection with the Liver has to do with circadian rhythms of the body. The time of the Liver is 1-3 am, which is the polar opposite of the Small Intestine, (1-3pm).
If the Small Intestine is leaky and allowing impure toxins into the Liver, the Liver will then have more work to do to clear these toxins. If the leaky gut is long-standing and the Liver is chronically overloaded, toxins will then begin to spill into the Blood. The Blood will then shunt the toxins into the Lymphatic system, leading to an overburdened immune system.
A chronically toxic overloaded Liver and Lymphatic system sets the stage for weight gain, inflammation, arthritis, fluid retention, food intolerances, heart disease and more.

6. Small Intestine and shoulder pain
Figure 2. highlights points on the Small Intestine Meridian. Long-standing energy blocks in the Small Intestine meridian can be felt as musculoskeletal pain around the shoulder and neck, and can lead to problems in the organ; conversely, problems in the organ can be felt along the pathway of the Small Intestine meridian. The Small intestine meridian passes over and around the shoulder blade and up the side of the neck. This is a common area to carry stress.

7. Acupuncture’s role in the Healing process
Releasing blockages in the meridian system with acupuncture has a profound impact on the internal organs. Releasing the physical tension in the body has a synergistic effect that optimizes the other necessary changes that need to happen in order for true healing to occur.  These changes should be approached in stages.
•       Changes to the diet to remove offending & allergenic foods (allergy testing can be instrumental in identifying  these)
•       If Candida is present, it is necessary to stop promoting the growth of Candida by eliminate sugar & refined carbohydrates.
•       Detoxification
•       Rebuilding the intestinal flora
The process takes time and it is critical to take a holistic approach. Depending on the severity of the damage of the intestinal lining it can take from 4-9 months for full recovery. Failure to identify and eliminate allergenic foods will slow down the process. If Candida is present then it is imperative to change the environment that allows for it and to eliminate any overgrowth that may be present. Chronic toxic overload needs to be addressed as well through detoxification.  Once those changes happen, then it is time for rebuilding the intestinal microflora. Acupuncture can be used throughout all the stages of the process to maximize the results and increase the effectiveness of the internal work.

8. Psychospiritual Speculations
The ancient Chinese spoke of the organic oneness of body, mind and spirit. This understanding is preserved in the classical texts and in the traditional names of the Acupuncture Points. Sometimes the function of a point is suggested by it‘s name, other times its anatomical location is suggested. Often times both are referred to.  On the small intestine, there is a specific point that is invariably reactive on nearly 99% of patients I’ve worked with. The point is located on the Scapula, SI 11, and the chinese name is 天宗,Tian Zong, Heavenly Ancestors.
Heavenly Ancestors reminds us that in this life we are not only dealing with our own personal issues and karma, but we are also working through the karma we have inherited from our ancestors. It is weight we carry on our shoulders. As we grow and mature and begin to take personal responsibility for our destiny we gain the energy to properly assimilate life into our being and honor our deep inner self. We can then develop the strength to carry what is truly ours and to let go of what is not. This takes a big load off of the small intestine meridian, which then allows more energy to flow to the Small Intestine organ which can then get back to the work of assimilating our life and creating the person we wish to be in the world, and by doing that we are doing our part to create the world we wish to be a part of.

4. There is a sequence to the flow of energy through the 12 meridians; this sequence is what creates the Circadian rhythm in the body.  Each meridian has a 2 hour window when its qi is flourishing. The time for the peak of energy of the Small Intestine is from 1-3 pm. Imbalances in the Small Intestine system can manifest as a deep collapse of energy at this time. The Liver has a peak of Energy at the opposite time, 1-3 am.

Acupuncture for wellness

 

accupoints croppedAs of January 1, 2014, according to the Essential Care and Benefits Bill (passed by the state of California in April 2012) portion of the Affordable Care Act, every insurance (except Medicare, Medi-Cal and Tricare) company must cover acupuncture services for the treatment of pain and nausea, regardless if the acupuncture is dispensed by an M.D. or by a licensed acupuncturist. Even at this late date of November 20, 2013, many state agencies are unclear about the logistics of the process. Yet, acupuncture is to date a covered benefit for several insurance companies and many are enjoying the benefits of this medicine dispensed by acupuncturists, who are primary care physicians in the state of California. The purpose of this article is to inform those of us that are not familiar with the healing benefits of this medicine.

Above all, the objective and the value of any medicine is the resolution of the patient’s imbalance with the least amount of harm to the patient. The bottom line needs to be returning the patient back to normal and/or healthier than before the illness occurred with little to no side effects. Chinese medicine delivers both the primary goal of effectiveness of natural medicine as well as a comparatively low cost to accomplish the results. In most cases, with Chinese medicine the ailment has been relieved, education and experience in the arena of preventative medicine has been achieved, and the relaxation of the mind, body, and spirit has been initiated. Acupuncture also produces homeostasis and relaxation in the body which is integral to the healing process. This ancient energy medicine sets in motion a life long standard and intention of wellbeing and longevity.

Acupuncture is an advanced, refined method, not an alternative or complementary
form of medicine. In most of the thousands and thousands of treatments at
Vibrational Healing Arts and acupuncture clinics all over the world, acupuncture
(with Chinese medical herbs as needed) has been a stand alone medicine. Using,
for example, 36 gauge sterilized stainless steel needles placed strategically, a
multitude of conditions including back pain from herniated discs can be successfully
treated in six to twelve treatments. Numerous illnesses from anxiety to alopecia,
pain to PMS, and insomnia to interstitial cystitis encompass the range of
acupuncture success stories.  A vital part of the Chinese medicine practitioner’s
or any physician’s responsibility, is to determine whether or not the patient requires
a different or an additional style of medicine to complete the healing process. For
example, the patient may be advised to go immediately to the emergency room, to
get adjustments from a chiropractor, or receive sessions with a psychotherapist.

At the initial intake, consultation, examination and acupuncture treatment, there is a course of action established with qualitative and quantitative markers to assess pain levels, range of motion, levels of inflammation, frequency of recurrence of the condition, etc. Lifestyle and nutritional modifications and guidelines are agreed upon to meet each patient’s individual needs. Generally, two acupuncture treatments are recommended per week at the beginning. As the patient improves based on the markers, treatments decrease to once per week, every other week, and then on an as needed basis. At Vibrational Healing Arts, the success rate is a conservative 75%. Some conditions that have not been completely reversed with acupuncture in this office have included post-surgical complications, severe inflammatory conditions that require cortisone injections, back pain in elderly obese patients on several medications, broken bones, and severe ligament tears. No single medicine successfully treats every condition. The key is to discern what medicine is the most appropriate for the individual patient.

Chinese herbal medicine, often used as an adjunct to acupuncture, is designed to target a range of disorders from the common cold to infertility. The collection of herbs that comprise the Chinese herbal pharmacy are specific in their botanical nature and function. When prescribed by a properly trained herbalist, the side effects are minimal to nonexistent. Minimal side effects may include slightly increased urination or bowel movements (not diarrhea). A low percentage of patients that experience  mild nausea while taking herbs are instructed to reduce the initial dosages and take the herbs with food. A few of the conditions treatable with herbs are colds, flu, cough, asthma, immune related imbalances, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, Crohn’s, hair loss, shingles, dermatitis, PMS, migraines, Meniere’s, hypertension, anxiety, low energy, anemia, hot flashes, night sweats, pain, sprains, female and male infertility and insomnia.

Acupuncture has been recorded in history as the primary medicine in several countries for over three thousand years. Because the mechanics of this energy medicine are not yet fully understood, acupuncture has often been dismissed. Gravity and the applications of the three laws of motion existed long before Isaac Newton discovered them. In addition, Newton’s laws of motion are not applicable to quantum mechanics particle/wave dualities. Under scrutiny of the scientific method; particles behave as waves, waves as particles, and as neither and both. A new paradigm of viewing and operating in the quantum world is slowly being accepted. We may find the answers to how acupuncture works in the realm of quantum theories. In fact, physicists who are also acupuncturists find agreement with these ideas. In the interim, acupuncture continues to prove its effectiveness.

Acupuncture, a successful tradition

 

AcupunctureOne of the treatment methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture involves the stimulation of specific points by inserting a needle under the superficial layers of the skin. From the Chinese Medical perspective, the needling at these points is meant to regulate the body’s energy (Chi, Qi, or Ki), blood or fluids of the body to bring about a harmony of yin and yang energy.

The needles used during an acupuncture treatment are filiform in nature; this means they are solid, not the hollow needles that are used for blood draws or immunizations. These needles are not as thick as the hollow needles as well; the median thickness of an acupuncture needle is 0.22 millimeters(mm), compare that to the thickness of hair which is between 0.04 and 0.25 mm. Needles are generally not painful or even felt by the patient.

The points stimulated during an acupuncture treatment mostly fall along the energy pathways of the body known as channels or meridians.  The points are not chosen randomly, but are specifically selected on an individual basis by the practitioner based on a pattern derived from the four diagnostic methods: observation of the patient, hearing and smelling, asking the patient about their condition, and palpation or feeling the affected area of the body.

“A Pathway to the Life You Want

TCM, or Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a profound pathway to create the life you truly want to live, the life you were born to live. It’s a timeless bridge that can initiate and support change and growth in any and every life dimension: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

An Ancient yet Completely Modern Healing System

TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) has the power to unlock your true potential and help you develop and use your own unique gifts and talents. Its insightful wisdom and ability to understand and address individual health needs empowers each person with a way to unite body, mind, and spirit—the foundation for lasting, authentic health. TCM teaches you how to live a life of balance, wellness, and harmony.

It’s true that TCM is one of the oldest healing systems on the planet. It has actually been in continuous practice for thousands of years. How can something so old still work for people living today—in your life?

TCM can be effectively applied to help heal anyone and any health issue no matter what year it is because it’s rooted in unchanging natural law, which has its source beyond time. This unique paradigm of medicine grew out of penetrating observation of how everything in our reality functions at the deepest, invisible levels and interacts with the surface or visible physical levels. It’s a medicine of extraordinary relationships. Every TCM principle, theory, and healing practice reflects and harmonizes with the relationships that exist within natural law.

Four Key TCM Principles

  • Your body is an integrated whole. You are a complete package. Each and every structure in your body is an integral and necessary part of the whole. Along with your mind, emotions, and spirit, your physical body structures form a miraculously complex, interrelated system that is powered by life force, or energy. Everything you need to heal yourself exists within your being.
  • You are completely connected to nature. Changes in nature are always reflected in your body. TCM factors in the particular season, geographical location, time of day, as well as your age, genetics, and the condition of your body when looking at your health issues.
  • You were born with a natural self-healing ability. Your body is a microcosm that reflects the macrocosm. Think about it: nature has a regenerative capacity, and so do you. Sometimes, this ability may appear to be lost or difficult to access, but the good news is, in most cases, it is never completely gone. TCM helps you recharge this self-healing function.
  • Prevention is the best cure. Do you know your body is continually revealing signs about the state of your health? Let’s face it, it’s common to ignore these signs or symptoms until something more complicated arises. Yet this is not an effective personal healthcare strategy. TCM teaches you how to read the language your body communicates to you with and be proactive about your health.”

Ayurveda 1

 Ayurveda is an age old traditional medical practice of India.

 

“Ayurveda means ‘Science of Life’. It deals with each and every aspect of human life. It’s first objective is to maintain the health and happiness while the next is to manage and restore the status of health and productive state of mind. Ayurveda offers wonderful tools for better life style. It gives equal importance to our body, mind and soul ; therefore works with holistic approach.

The Body Matrix

Life in Ayurveda is conceived as the union of body, senses, mind and soul. The living man is a conglomeration of three humours (Vata, Pitta &Kapha), seven basic tissues (Rasa, Rakta, Mansa, Meda, Asthi, Majja & Shukra) and the waste products(Mala) of the body such as faeces, urine and sweat. Thus the total body matrix comprises of the humours, the tissues and the waste products of the body. The growth and decay of this body matrix and its constituents revolve around food which gets processed into humours, tissues and wastes. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and metabolism of food have an interplay in health and disease which are significantly affected by psychological mechanisms as well as by bio- fire(Agni).

Panchamahabhutas: The Five Basic Elements

According to Ayurveda all objects in the universe including human body are composed of five basic elements (Panchamahabhutas) namely, Akash (Ether), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire), Jala (Water) and Prithvi (Earth). There is a balanced condensation of these elements in different proportions to suit the needs and requirements of different structures and functions of the body matrix and its parts. The growth and development of the body matrix depends on its nutrition, i.e. on food. The food, in turn, is composed of the above five elements, which replenish or nourish the like elements of the body after the action of bio-fire (Agni). The tissues of the body are the structural whereas humours are physiological entities, derived from different combinations and permutations of Panchamahabhutas.

Health and Sickness

Health or sickness depends on the presence or absence of a balanced state of the total body matrix including the balance between its different constituents. Both the intrinsic and extrinsic factors can cause disturbance in the natural equilibrium giving rise to disease. This loss of equilibrium can happen by dietary indiscrimination, undesirable habits and non-observance of rules of healthy living. Seasonal abnormalities, improper exercise or erratic application of sense organs and incompatible actions of the body and mind can also result in creating disturbance of the existing normal balance. The treatment consists of restoring the balance of disturbed body-mind matrix through regulating diet, correcting life-routine and behaviour, administration of drugs and resorting to preventive Panchkarma and Rasayana therapy.

Diagnostic Methodology

Ayuvedic approach of diagnosis is very unique and different from conventional medicine. An Ayurveda physician examines patient and disease both for confirming the diagnosis and status of disease.. The physician takes a careful note of the patient’s internal physiological characteristics and mental disposition. He also studies such other factors as the affected bodily tissues, humours, the site at which the disease is located, patient’s resistance and vitality, his daily routine, dietary habits, the gravity of clinical conditions, condition of digestion and details of personal, social, economic and environmental situation of the patient. The diagnosis also involves various other examinations, like- Pulse examination,: Urine examination, Tongue examination etc.

Preventive Approach Based on the Concepts of Aetio-Pathogenesis

Ayurveda has developed a very vivid analytical description of the stages and events that take place since the causative factors commence to operate till the final manifestation of disease. This gives this system an additional advantage of knowing that possible onset of disease much before the latent symptoms become apparent. This very much enhances the preventive role of this system of medicine by making it possible to take proper and effective steps in advance, to arrest further progress in pathogenesis or to take suitable therapeutic measures to curb the disease in its earliest stage of onset.

Treatment Approach

The basic therapeutic approach is, ‘that alone is the right treatment which makes for health and he alone is the best doctor who frees one from disease’. This sums up the principal objectives of Ayurveda, i.e. maintenance and promotion of health, prevention of disease and cure of sickness.

Treatment of the disease consists in avoiding causative factors responsible for disequilibrium of the body matrix or of any of its constituent parts through the use of Panchkarma procedures, medicines, suitable diet, activity and regimen for restoring the balance and strengthening the body mechanisms to prevent or minimize future occurrence of the disease.”
