At least 75% of this class, some in far away places such as India and Japan, are still in practice more than 10 years on.

This is the 3rd in a series of Infant Acupuncture videos recorded in the past week.

Ruby is besieged by teething pain and restless sleep during the night.

Mum is slowly going demented.

Ruby is responding well to treatment and will be coming into clinic again today.

Allyshia subject of the post referring to chest congestion responded magnificently to treatment last week.

Last Nights Moon from Point Danger on the border of NSW and Queensland, Australia

Hope all is well in your world.

Luca is just 11 weeks old and has received 3 Infant Acupuncture treatments so far to alleviate colic type wind pain at night only.

Another case of parental sleep deprivation!

Frustratingly he improves for the night after treatment then relapses again.

I have recommended that his parents seek the assistance of a medical practitioner to ascertain the cause of the little fella’s tummy woes, endogenous or exogenous or a combination of both?

Bottom line is he responds to treatment but for a limited time only.

There is the distinct possibility that I am applying an inappropriate root treatment and I am considering the possibility of changing from a Liver Root treatment to a Spleen root treatment.

I have been led to believe that whilst the meridians are active at Luca’s age the points are not clinically significant, however my clinical experience challenges this belief and I have found children’s response to treatment can vary significantly depending on the root treatment applied.

I am continually surprised by the response of children and infants to the most minimal stimulation.

Hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoy giving the treatment.

Have a good one,

Alan

To be Coinfirmed

An ex client recently recieved my clinic newsletter with a link to WorldAcupuncture.com inserted.

His response below is followed by my reply.

I am grateful that he is sufficiently interested to read my newsletters let alone check out my blog.

Alan,

I must admit that I quite like your posts.

Tell me, how often would you surf in a week? Also, do you meditate?

Do you find that regular surfing helps to keep your mind on track? I’m starting to find this & I am contemplating moving closer to the Northern Beaches ie Narrabeen so that its easier to surf in the mornings on week days.

Let me know your thoughts on this?

Cheers ……..

Living in Sydney, my ex client is physically a long way from me but is a virtual neighbour.

Thanks …….,

Appreciate your feed back muchly.

I surf around 7 times weekly…not necessarily everyday.

I meditate in a functional way not in the ideological full lotus position.

Narrabeen is one of my adolescent haunts having cut my teeth on the northern Beaches of Sydney growing up in Manly and visiting most of the pubs and beaches on the Peninsula on an amazingly regular basis.I have lived at Narrabeen, Collaroy, Dee Why, Harbord, Fairlight, Balgowlah.
Surf at North Narrabeen gets very good and very crowded.

For mine, surfing encourages osmotic interaction with salt water for extended periods of time and in that environment find myself in the strangest,  most exhilarating and unpredictable  situations, a great way to start the day, bringing some semblance of balance in an otherwise crammed agenda, split between expanding my IT intelligence in the virtual world, practicing my clinical skills in the real world and relating one through the other for the benefit of those interested in developing their clinical skills.

Can’t see you regretting any move to Narrabeen

Although if I had a choice I would go for Avalon or Newport

Back to work for me.

Kind Regards,

Alan
