ALS, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis III

Spiral scheme consists of 3 type of meridians:
--- vertical, used for acute or fast-developing conditions
--- horizonral or circular, used for chronic or deep-rooting conditions
--- spiral which have universal use

There are highlighted vertical meridians of :
--- green - Wind - muscle system 
--- blue - Burn - brain and spinal cord 
--- orange - Dryness - sclerosis as process and progressive shortage of any function 
Light and Darkness as main energies involved in the process:
--- Light responsible for destruction of motor neurons on the most fundamental level - violet
--- Darkness responsible for progressive loss of function on the most fundamental level - black







(The situation is more complex as Light energy is destructive in structural scheme and healing in functional and Darkness energy is vise versa
so will not be discussed further.)

Circular meridians can be highlighted similarly (highlighted is Wind).
Spiral meridians are well seen because points are mapped  with  priority to them, 
which make this scheme most universal in use.


Meridians to work in Diamond Energy System:

Diamond Energy System has the most fundamental 
action however it's  too complex for non-professionals:
--- for location of points
--- even there is chakral mapping of points on joints possible to use by non-specialists, this is too demanding and much less forgiving than Spiral or Nails system (the reason most schemes here are done in those 2 systems)


However massage of these meridians and those 
described earlier by a tip of a pencil or similar may already help in hands of non-specialists.

ALS, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis II

Spiral schemes give more treatment options and potential info about a disease than many other 
in a single scheme and also allow treatment by zones.

There can be mapping for zones for excess and lack of energy like it is done for points, the data may be obtained by the same instrumental metods like electropuncture
ALS:

Zones of excess of energy, marked brown, 

A disease usually gives mirror-like picture for structural and functional energies schemes:
where there is excess of energy in structural scheme there will be energy deficit in functional scheme and vise versa.
Here in both cases zones are positioned almost the same which indicates zones of fundamental energy disorder.


Zones of energy excess are important for a disease which  gardually reduces energy potential of the body in general:
--- one may apply remedies like described anticancer remedy to dissolve energy excess right on the zone 
on palm or abdomen
--- redistribute energy excess by massage along the spirals path which is good for self-treatment 


Overall energy distribution in meridians show rather scaring picture:
for the first scheme in a row:
--- there is general assymmetry 
--- energy excess at left side for all spirals and energy deficit at right side
which seems to reflect the reality of "lateral" in the name of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

ALS, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Summarizing the symptomes:
--- progressive destruction of motor neurons
--- slow but steady development which is seen as irreversible
--- the prospects are complete loss of function of muscles
The main pathogenic energy responsible for this is energy of Darkness in Su-jok terms.
There may be 2 types of schemes:

 Functional approach, dealing with accumulation 
of Darkness energy i.e. progressing disability.

Structural approach is to fight destruction of motor neurons:

Both schemes are optimized for men: schemes have  type of spinning for left and right hands which better matches men's classification for structural and functional aspects.


If perform these schemes on the abdomen which
is especially effective against such severe and 
deep-rooting condition, one uses both spirals
in the same area and determines the order to use 
them.

Acupuncture redardless of a particular disease

1. Constitution energies.

Everyone has his own Energy constitution from the moment of birth with certain energies

in excess and certain insufficient, 6 Qi System:

 This determines the general tendency to a particular type of diseases, emotional and mental portrait etc.

If one has excess of:

--- Burn: prone to put on weight, effluent emotionally or creativity/imagination on mental level

--- Dryness: pale complextion, punctuality, curcumspection

--- Cold: catches cold easily or cold hands, feet etc.

There will be general lack of:

---Wind, Heat, Dampness

This gives acu recipe to correct on fundamental level:

sedate Burn, Dryness, Cold, tone up Wind, Heat and Dampness

in many cases this gives better results then addressing the disease.

There are complex conditions like diabetes which affects a lot of organs and systems

where such general correction gives vivid improvement which has been shown by

a number of Su-jok sources.

Done as a prophylactic, this makes one more resistant to any type of disease one is prone to.

Probably the most complex disease to treat is drug addiction and it's even hard to give a general

recipe for it.

However if compensate the lacking energies in energy constitution, this often gives clear 

improvement.

Such acupuncture is better to do in more fundamental system like Diamond Energy System, on
Lateral or Front Border meridians which cover the whole body, though the same in Spiral System
also works well. Besides, this system gives more options: for the case of
sedate Burn, Dryness, Cold, tone up Wind, Heat and Dampness
one may:
--- do sedation of Burn on Burn meridian, Cold on Cold meridian etc and the same for tone up
--- sedate Light points on all meridians to sedate and tone up them on those to tone up

2. The Time energies.

There's been example of healing by the moment of time the problem appeared:

http://acupunctureforsingers.blogspot.com/2010/02/emotional-traumas-timeback.html 

http://acupunctureforsingers.blogspot.com/2010/02/timeback-september-11.html

There is ancient and powerful healing by just one needle, the Open Point, which is also in Su-jok.

General idea is to syncronize one's energies with certain "standards" like adjusting the clocks via standard

time.

One of such is the "24 hours external time energies cycle":

--- 2.00 - 6.00 - energy of Wind

--- 6.00 - 10.00 - energy of Heat

--- 10.00 - 14.00 - energy of Burn

--- 14.00 - 18.00 - energy of Dampness

--- 18.00 - 22.00 - energy of Dryness

--- 22.00 - 2.00 - energy of Cold

For example, harmonization for the Heat point on Heat meridian at 6.00 - 10.00  will correct

any condition during this time period:

--- marking the point by green + massage

--- taping green natural crystals onto+massage

--- moxibition with cigar parpendicular to the point

 The problem is, the local time works well only for those who reside
in the same place, generally there should be calculations regarding
the time zones, so for travelling buisnessmen/touring musicians the
situation quite complex.

3. The basic energy points to raise energy and immune responce:

Polycystic ovaries

Not related directly to cancer topic however considering info in the post:
http://acupunctureforcancerideas.blogspot.com/2010/07/benign-and-malignant-tumours.html
this may be topical.


Ovaries:
--- are controlled by energy of Darkness in main energy of Darkness 
(reproductive system)
--- cyctic formation is excess of harmful Dampness energy
The scheme looks as:
Darkness--->Darkness: Dampness sedate, Wind tone up, Light, Darkness control
the scheme in Nails system:

Arrows show direction of
moxibustion or needles at the 
points






That polycystis ovaries are often accompanied by weight gain is no surprise as
this is excess of the same Dampness energy on the level of whole body.

Similar situation with often observed hormonal disorders as Dampness energy 

also controls endocrinal system.

The Thumb System, all cancer cases on one joint

There's been given schemes to treat cancer on joints according to the main energy

of organ:

http://acupunctureforcancerideas.blogspot.com/2009/12/organs-have-their-basic-energy.html

Energies on left hand - Yang or Hetero group: 

1. Cold: bladder

2. Dryness: colon

3. Dampness: stomach

4. Wind: gall bladder

5. Heat: small intestine

6. Burn: spinal column
7. Light: 

8. Darkness

1. Cold:  kidneys

2. Dryness: lungs.

3. Dampness: spleen

4. Wind: liver

5. Heat: heart 

6. Burn: brain 

7. Light: 

8. Darkness

Since thumbs are controlling for all other fingers, there exist
more fundamental Thumbs system which comprises all above energies on 4 meridians:

--- wrist joint line - Neito meridian
--- root thumb joint - Gomo-meridian
--- 2-nd thumb joint -Hetero meridian
--- the line around the nail - Neitro-meridian


Points are 2-3 mm size:
--- red - Hetero
--- blue - Gomo
--- green - Neitro and Neito
and are at 90* to each other - at 6.00, 9.00, 12.00and 15.00 on the joint line if look from top.
For nail meridian points are on flesh touching the nail from outside




This allowes to treat all Hetero conditions on Hetero-meridian and all Gomo conditions on

Gomo - meridian.

Since cancer is mainly Cold = Gomo disease, all cancer cases may be attributed to the root 

thumb joint N2. 

Cancer is treated according to the general principles:

--- to fight it's main energy one sedates Gomo (Cold) and tones up Hetero (Burn) - points 1 and 2, marked A on the pic

--- to control cancer's spreading, one sedates Hetero and tones up Gomo - points 1 and 2, marked B 
on the pic

--- Neitro and Neito points 3 and 4 are controlling, at least in case of self-treatment by 

non-specialists - green points on joints lines.
Neitro Point 3 for both cases is on the same meridian
Neito point 4 for both cases is on the nail meridian
--- treatment for non-specialists is taping crystals of the same colour, more in previous 
posts

Esophageal cancer

Related to the news about Seiji Ozawa, Japan's most noted conductor, who has been diagnosed 
with esophageal cancer in its early stages:
http://english.cri.cn/6666/2010/01/08/1261s540914.htm
Mapping of esophagus like it was previously done for body areas, gives general scheme for
esophagus, which can be viewed as a part of stomach system:
Heat--->Dampness(stomach system)--->Heat(esophagus): energies to work on


As it is reported as early stage cancer, it is Wind or Heat stage in Su-jok classification:
http://acupunctureforcancerideas.blogspot.com/2009/11/cancer-stages-in-su-jok-acupuncture.html
there may be 3 general schemes: 
--- to fight cancer's root energy i.e. Cold:
Heat--->Dampness--->Heat: Gomo sedate, Hetero tone up, Neitro and Neito control
or Cold sedate, Burn tone up, Light, Darkness control
--- to control cancer's spreading:
Heat--->Dampness--->Heat: Hetero sedate, Gomo tone up, Neitro and Neito control
--- to fight cancer specifically at this stage:
Heat--->Dampness--->Heat: Wind sedate, Dampness tone up, Light and Darkness control
assuming cancer is at Wind stage.
Second and third schemes are basically the same as Wind is Hetero energy and Dampness is
Gomo energy.
Third scheme in Spiral system:

--- the scheme uses spirals going inward assuming this cancer case was induced by external harmful factors
--- points 1 and 2 target the esophagus
Heat--->Dampness--->Heat
--- yellow point is sedation of Wind 
--- additional blue point means also sedation of 
Cold, the basic cancer energy
--- dark green points are controlling points.


This type of schemes is probably the most complex in Su-jok, however the simplest to use - the image is resized to palm.





Such scheme allows concentration of healing energy in a very narrow place for strongest action, 
to fight localized tumour like brain tumours.
It also gives list of energies involved in this cancer case, which allows work on them as main energies, which means involvement of the whole body:

This may be valuable to treat methastatic cancer
developed from once located, as it seems logical
the energy sequence once propelled it reflect in the ways it may spread.


















There can also be different mapping of esophagus from it's being between 5-th and 4-th chakras, 
which gives characteristic Heat and Wind energies, like Heat and Dampness for the previous scheme:

As time has passed since the moment the news about his cancer have been published

(January 2010), these schemes will need certain corrections if use them right now.

Blackseed and Hilba: cancer treatment

Blaskseed and Hilba are well-known first of all in Muslim world for their healing properties.
Blackseed is referred there as "cure for everything exept death".
Hilba is described in the words: "... If people knew it's true value, they'd trade it for the price
of gold".
Scientific studies have shown both plants are unique source of active substances, in particlar,
the discovered antibacterial/antiviral properties of blackseed were really amazing.
There are many recipes with blackseed as a core component cited in books on Muslim medicine
including cancer treatment (was given earlier).
Blackseed is believed a very promising herb for this which is no surprise for Chinese and Su-jok medicine for it's having strong Yang energy.

Hilba is effective in treatment of women's diseases, fertility problems, sexual dysfunction,as a unique source 
of vitamines and trace elements to promote recovery after serious illness, and also for cosmetic purposes,
so it may be classified as Yin energy plant.
So they both may be seen as Yin-Yang pair and the whole branch of herbal medicine may be 
based on these two plants.


Regarding cancer: 
--- blackseed acts as Yang destroying root cancer energy = Cold 
--- hilba can nurture and support giving energy and essential substances to restore body and functions.
This may be very essential at late stages of cancer, with a lot of badly damaged areas and little energy, 
so destroying tumour alone can't solve the problem.

The already mentioned anticancer remedy:
--- blackseed, finely grinded - 135g
--- blackseed oil, 125 ml
mixed to give a viscous pulp, also may be finely grated carrot and garlic in lesser quantities.
This mixture is probably too strong to be taken by mouth, and is oriented more on application on organ's zones.

Alternative to basic energy points II

More effect if also do the same on right thumb:
--- current state and acute conditions are generally reflected on left thumb
and chronic/deep-rooting on right thumb
--- women usually have left arm as leading for treatment where the problems 
may be better reflected, and men - right arm.
--- the same treatment can be done on thumbs of feet; arms are Yang and legs are Yin 
so one can further expand it.
So general energy balancing is using both thumbs for a session.


Basic energy points are also on feet but this is less comfortable for self-treatment.

Alternative to basic energy points

Basic energy points are essential charging and harmonizing tools 
http://acupunctureforcancerideas.blogspot.com/2010/08/basic-energy-points-and-chi-gong.html


There exist system of meridians with similar harmonizing effect on the whole body,
in fact, they are part of Cylindrical Spiral system the vertical Neitro and Neito meridians 
(matching the Du-Mai and Zheng-Mai in Standard Corresponding System) with very convinient 
location of points:

This exists on every finger but as thumbs are controlling for all other fingers, the most general action will be there.


Points are located on the central lines for each side of a finger so that:
--- on the first phalange - 4 points on the line connecting joints, all at equal
distance to each other, i.e at 1/3 of the length of the line
--- there are overall 5 points on the upper line connecting the 2-nd joint and the root of nail (including one on 2-nd joint which belongs to both lines)
at equal distance to each other, so one divides the line in half then again
each half in halves.

Everything the same for the inner side of thumb.
The 2-nd phalange surface is curved so the distances are on a real
line drawn from the point on the 2-nd joint to the point on the top
of finger.


The best treatment seems to be moxibustion, the sequence 
of treatment may correspond to:
1.--- upward for the inner side of the thumb
--- downward for the outer
the flow of energy in Du-Mai and Zheng-Mai 
2. the flow of energy for the Spiral system: both points upwards
which is better for overall harmonization of the body.









It seems to give no less balancing and harmonizing effect compared to basic energy points and directly
involves all parts of the body.
To unblock badly blocked areas in case of metastatic cancer especially if some parts of tumours
have solidified after medical treatment, this may be better than basic energy points.


Moxibustion in this method works fast and powerfully, so can hardly be recommended for 
self-treatment in case of cancer especially last stages, because of danger to speed up
cancer proliferation.

Cancer and smoking

There are numerous studies and publications on smoking and cancer risks.

Su-jok can point to several unpleasant moments about modern lifestyle:

--- cancer is related to Dryness energy growing from epithelium and 

connective tissue

--- Dryness controls lungs and colon among inner organs, respiratory and 

immune system

--- Dryness relates to negative emotions of grief, frustration, depression

So everything which weakens respiratory system directly harms everything related to 

Dryness energy.

Obesity and cancer

A review of the problem may be found in:
http://ehealthforum.com/blogs/dr-robert-wascher/obesity-and-cancer-risk-b10026.html

The study shows in particular:
--- overall 21% higher risk of cancer
--- 50% higher risk for colon cancer
--- 162% higher risk for ovarian cancer
--- 321% higher risk for cervical cancer


Obesity is probably to be regarded the same serious for cancer risk as for risk of
heart diseases, because:
--- it is caused by excess of Dampness energy
--- basic energy of cancer is Cold
--- in an energy circulation 
Wind--->Heat--->Burn--->Dampness--->Dryness--->Cold
Dampness opens the Yin part of the circle and Cold is final stage, so evolution of Dampness
disease into Cold disease is quite natural.
