AK, Akupunkture & Command points

1. AK, Akupunkture & Command points Dr. med. Eugen Burtscher

2. Goodheart has treated certain muscle weaknesses with the use of tonification points (= one of the command points) Acupuncture system is one of the five factors of the intervetebral foramen (IVF) Application of AK for checking the system of meridians and associated organs (Goodheart, Leaf, Walther, Gerz) AK and acupunture points

3. Description of the muscle - organ - meridian - classifications from Goodheart Relations with the associated sedation point on the same side of the body can be verified Example: Normotonic M. rectus femoris (SI - associated) is weakened through the sedation point SI 8 on the same side of the body AK and meridian correlation I

5. Sedation point = the most reliable method of sedation ( ICAK Conference in Monte Carlo 1996) An internal disease pattern without a definitedifferentiation between hypertonic and normotonic muscles is unimaginable The sedation point is only one of the five command points onto every meridian Further command points offer more intense possibilities of sedation or tonification AK and meridian correlation II

6. Effective potential of all command points From 1997-2001 analysed with AK from Gerz, Eppler-Tschiedl, Suntinger and Burtscher Results:Book “ AK-Meridiantherapie (AKMT) - synthesis of acupuncture teaching and Applied Kinesiology” (AKSE 2001) AKMT courses belong to an obligatory curriculum of the IMAK Effective potential of the command points

7. Combination of AK and command points - short AKMT - it permits detection of coherences between organs, meridian functions, focuses and structure Diagnostic possibility Analysis of meridian- and organ systems Differentiation of focuses and intolerances Differentiation of the effectiveness of therapeutic substances Therapeutic possibility Efficient acupuncture with 2 to 3 needles AK and application of the command points

8. Association of meridians to muscle testing gives an overview of the condition of the meridian: An empty meridian correlates with one or more weak associated muscles in the AK-muscle testing An exaggerated meridian correlates with one or more hypertonic associated muscles A balanced meridian is associated with normotonic muscle testing of the correlating muscles ( Goodheart, Leaf, Walther, Gerz) Diagnostic overview

9. Identical AK results ( CH, TL) Identical findings on several teeth  Evaluation? Consequence? Lots of incompatible nourishments Reduced compliance of the patient Development of counterproductive stress Difficulty when meeting multiple focuses and intolerances

10. Example for further differentiation: Indicator muscle hypertonic through nourishments / focus:  Sedation point doesn’t weaken any more  However more sedating points allow further differentiation Primary treatment of most irritating factor Focuses creating hypertonic muscles

11. Example for further differentiation: Weak indicator muscle through nourishment/ focus: Tonification point strengthens/ does not strengthen More tonifying points permit further differentiation Primary treatment of most irritating factor Focuses creating weak muscles

12. Primarily evaluation of most possible findings AK muscle testing CH, TL Functional orthopedic results, … Best acupuncture point which negates all positive findings when challenged or therapy localized Acupuncture will be successful AK and acupuncture procedures

13. In most cases only 2 - 3 highly efficient acupuncture points Reduction of needles being used Good compliance Element points are most commonly found Only few acupuncture sessions (treatments) will be necessary (5 - 7x) AK and efficiency of acupuncture

14. Five points on each meridian are called command points Correlation of each point to an element with its given quality Each meridian contains of one: Origin of command points Earth point Fire point Metal point Water point Wood point

15. Five Elements - localisation

16. Command points colored in every element

17. Element points (colored)

18. Command points with element points circled

19. Mother - child - cycle = tonification points (underlined)

20. Child - mother - cycle = sedation point (underlined)

21. Grandmother - grandchild - cycle = control points (underlined)

22. Grandchild - grandmother - cycle = support points (underlined)

23. Element points with the correlated color

24. Element points act in an overall way on other elements with only minimal effect on their own element Element points work simultaneously: Tonifying on the son-element Sedating on the mother-element Controlling on the grandson-element Supporting on the grandparents- element Element points are the central key points of the command points Element points - work of action
