Harness the power of the Stimplus Pro and provide cutting-edge auriculotherapy treatments to family, friends and patients in need.
The Healing Power of Acupuncture Acupuncture is a healing modality that has been around for centuries with sound scientific evidence. It is safe and in many cases, works when other options have not. The type of acupuncture that I use is called auricular acupuncture. This means acupuncture in the ear. It is common for a patient to ask "Doc, how can you make my back feel better by poking a needle in my ear?" Well, you see, it works like this, your ear is a microsystem of the body. Points on the ear correlate with different areas of the body. It stimulates the meridian, or energy system, releasing energy blockages. In addition acupuncture releases endorphins in the brain, encouraging the brain to fight pain naturally. I am fortunate enough to be part of a pain management team at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas where we use holistic health practices to help people with chronic and acute pain. My part of this program is acupuncture, meditation and therapeutic yoga. I create a protocol for each patient to fit their particular needs. The outcome has been excellent. Among my family and close friends I am lovingly referred to as the witch doctor, or teased about that voodoo stuff I use. I take it as a compliment. And, you know what? It works, and it works well without all the nasty side effects that long term use of opiates can cause. If you struggle with pain, anxiety or depression, I can help you, please contact me at [email protected]. Together, we will find a solution.

Introduction: This is a detailed comparative analysis of the effects of direct-current (DC) microcurrent point stimulation (MPS) on the autonomic nervous system, when applied in the Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) protocol for 8 patients with histories of pain. Methods: Evaluations entailed a standard baseline visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, saliva cortisol, and a baseline status of 27 autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions, for a total of 29 markers, all repeated prior to and following electrotherapy on this cohort of patients. Results: The ANS response to microcurrent point electrical nerve stimulation reflected a statistically significant pre–post improvement in 8 of the 29 markers collected: (1) pain on the VAS scale was reduced by 63% (2.0625 points; 95% CI [confidence interval]: 1.2745–2.8505; P = 0.0001); (2) heart rate variability improved by 42% (662.375 points; 95% CI: -1273.675 to -51.075; P = 0.037); (3) high frequency–vagal tone improved by 56% (231.25 points; 95% CI: -430.42 to -31.58); P = 0.029); (4) exercise tolerance increased by 22% (9.500 points; 95% CI: -16.747 to -2.253; P = 0.017); (5) parasympathetic activity improved by 38% (14.000 points; 95% CI: -23.202 to -4.798; P = 0.009); (6) stress was reduced by 27% (39.125 points; 95% CI: 1.945–76,305); P = 0.042); (7) the PTGi [photoplethysmography index] cardiac marker of endothelial function, arterial blood flow, and ANS regulation improved by 48% (21.5125 points; 95% CI: -35.441754 to 7.5832461; P = 0.008); (8) cardiac marker PTGVLFi [Photoplethysmography very low frequency index]—an ANS regulation marker of endothelial function and an indicator of ß-cell activity had a statistically significant reduction of 36% (9.250 points; 95% CI: 1.062–17.438; P = 0.032). Salivary cortisol decreased by 14% (0.08286 points; 95% CI: -0.1182 to 0.28384; P = 0.352). Conclusions: The positive and impressive results in this study showed significant improvement in several parameters of ANS function and reduction in pain and cortisol levels. If replicated, this study paves the way for use of DC MPS applied to the BFA protocol for other pathologies that are known to be affected by sympathetic nervous system activation.
