BACKGROUND Common causes of pain include trauma, obstructions, musculoskeletal to nerve
inflammation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pain often results from blockage of Qi or Blood
stagnation. The site of the pain on any living cells often presents with excess Qi, temperature,
voltage and resistance. By accurately identifying the site and matching that with the least resistance
points on practitioner’s hands, one can move ions in Fascia layer to reduce pain. The severity, cause
of pain and the conductivity of the fascia layers determine how fast the ions can be moved between
cells, which results in action potentials to be changed and propagated; thus deciding the outcome of
a treatment. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a famous saying “Bu Tong Ze Tong, Tong Ze Bu Tong”,
means “no blockage, no pain. With blockage, there is pain.” The blockage area can be detected by
palpation due to the presenting Qi and other cardinal signs of inflammation. It is hypothesized that
by redirecting or draining ions using a less resistance living body (practitioner’s hand), moving Qi
and helping the blood flow can lead to a great degree of pain reduction.
METHOD Detect the site of pain and blockages for treatment using the following four techniques.
1. Global fascia palpation locates the area of obstruction. 2. Craniosacral assessment on fascia
assesses the rhythm, area of restriction or obstruction. 3. Using meridian points on practitioner’s
palm Ht8 and PC8 to scan the points presenting abnormal thermal radiation, excess Qi from the
patient. 4. The key to the treatment is moving excess ions and rebalance the charges, so having
lower resistance or voltage on practitioner’s contact hands and fascia layer can be helpful. Washing
hands and grounding are expected to reduce excessive ion charges from practitioner’s hands.
Treatment starts as soon as the practitioner put both hands over the area to be treated.
Craniosacral therapy techniques are used to release the restriction during the treatment.
RESULTS A retrospective charts review on >50 clinical cases showed great pain reduction with the
above method. These cases include: Facial Pain due to Trigeminal Neuralgia; MS; Anal Fissure
Surgery; LBP; 2ndary to lumbar spondylosis and spinal stenosis; neck pain 2ndary to cervical
spondylosis; headache; migraine; musculoskeletal pain; post knee surgery; tooth ache and dental
procedures. Each treatment lasted between 15 minutes to 1.5 hour. All resulted in 60%-100% pain
reduction. The same method was experimented on a gutted Tilapia fish, which had a much lower
resistance. It was hypothesized that ions would flow into the fish to sustain functions of cells. The
procedure was done an hour after Tilapia was gutted. No movement was observed prior to the start
of procedure. After 15 minutes of treatment, the 1st muscle contraction was felt. Following 45
minutes of the procedure, the Tilapia had a contraction rate at of 50/min; and the mouth, fins and
tail all moved in a smooth and regular rate. The cells of Tilapia were recharged to sustain their
function following the trauma, which was gutted in this case.
CONCLUSION Accurately locate the area by using fascia palpation, craniosacral rhythm
assessment, thermal scanning over acupuncture points may reveal the path of least resistance path
to successfully move ions in fascia layer to reduce pain and restore the normal function.
