Ear Acupressure for Chronic Pain Relief: "For overexcitement, it would regulate schizophrenic patient or depressed patient, restores tranquility, reduces chronic pain. So, you wanna take it anytime you have a patient who's been hurting, I think, for more than 6 months is chronic, but you and I both know we see patients who've been hurting every day for 10 years come in, and this can actually reduce or or stop their chronic pain. I've actually seen it to where the patient just goes, the next morning, I woke up, and I'm not stiff anymore, and I don't hurt in the mornings anymore."

Acupuncture for Hypertension and Stress: "Well, it's great for any type of anxiety, overall relaxation, general sedation. It's also a good point for your hypertensive patients along with and chronic stress."

The Power of Acupuncture: "I've only been certified or since o five. So going on 20 years of this and teaching for over 10 now, it but it still it shouldn't amaze me, but it still just amazes me every day and the research coming out, the newer research with the fMRIs and and the blood tests and the scans, the brain scans of how we're proving how these endocrine points really do produce different hormones in the brain and blood."

Acupuncture and Metallic Properties: "Well, actually, they or they're stainless steel. And so if that point needs to be sedated, if it's a hyperactive point or or excess chi, then I know I can use silver because it sedates. And then Jessica, gold will always tonify, and then stainless steel will do either one. So I tell people who are beginning to get your ACUPATCHES, maybe get 3 of each kind, but mostly get the stainless steel because they're amphoteric. In other words, they'll either raise or lower the energy in that point depending upon what the body tells that point it needs at that particular time."

Acupuncture Safety Concerns: "The ASP needles and things like that that go deeper, that can do damage to the cartilage that I've actually seen it and heard about it quite a bit. They're pretty they kinda splay when they hit the cartilage and, again, can do some damage and cause problems."

Integrating Acupuncture into Existing Treatment Plans: "Actually, Jessica, you would just implement I would suggest that you implement the modality of acupuncture into your treatment plan that you already have. So if you're seeing the patient 3 days a week for 2 weeks and then so it's your treatment plan already. It's not a separate treatment plan for the acupuncture. Just end it, adjust the patient. If they're not doing needles that day, and or you're just an auriculo electrical auriculoductor, then just take out your pointer plus or whatever you're gonna be using if you do electrical and treat, treat, treat, 5 to 10 seconds max on 2 or 3 points, and they're off. So it's not really you don't have a separate plan. It it depends on what your treatment plan is already. You don't have a separate day they would come in for for acupuncture."

The Impact of Acupuncture on Relaxation: "They wanna relax, they sometimes they are that's the only time of the day where they are actually not being overwhelmed with stimuli."

Chiropractic Insights: "And so they both have their benefits, but [...] relaxing and learning to breathe and letting that body heal itself is all their healing process too. So I would say go by your individual patient and what you know they need as the provider, and you will know after speaking with them, even on a first visit, what would be best for them."

The Power of Human Connectivity: "to remember how connected we all are and as far as the universe and the holographic universe and our bodies and each other and to never, never underestimate the power of the human beings."

Chiropractic Acupuncture Certification: "It would be an additional 200 hours on top of the 100 hour certification that would be required, and then a national board exam, which we hold once a year."
