| ＜Q3 Treatment manual against corona and flu＞ |
|
 Virus loves the old stagnant blood |
|
Many clients say, "I have not caught
cold since I had received Acupuncture."
It may be explained logically. Acupuncture
sticks the acu-needles into the body. Moxibustion
burns the moxa on the skin. The extraordinary
incidents astonish the immune system, which
begins to patrol the whole body and finds
a tiny trouble at an early stage. I think
it will be one of the workings.
Besides, Acupuncture helps the circulation
of the blood. From my experience, the corona
viruses are fond of the stagnancy, from where
they make great inroads in the human body
as a springboard.
Muscular stiffness presses the inner blood
vessel, and then the blood becomes stagnant.
Acupuncture makes the muscle loosen, and
then the fresh blood gets into. The viruses
lose their comfortable place.
"Catch cold" indicates that the
"cold" signifies the "corona/flu
viruses". Also Spanish phrase "resfriado (=coger frío)" is signifies in the same way.
The old blood is cold and the new blood is
warm. Taking away such a local "cold"
can seal the entrance and obstruct progress
making colony.
I have caught cold hundred times, and have
treated hundred people including myself.
The "cold" was my "neighbor"
and "rival" who interrupted my
activity.
On the occasion of the coming of the COVIT-19,
I introduce you my stored arts of treatment
against the "cold". |
|
| Scenario of battle against cold and flu |
|
|
|
"Catching cold" is an invasion
by the viruses, either corona or flu. However
you have a chill or sneeze or cough, you
are not yet "cold" without the
viruses. Warm and move to prevent infection. |
|
|
Catch your primary sign of the infection,
such as "feeling chill", "somehow
out of tune in the throat or nose",
"heavy head", "sensitive skin",
etc. Drive the viruses away on the edge. |
|
|
As the viruses begin multiplying, the immune
system starts a full-scale attack. A fever
weakens the enemy. Warm yourself as hot as
you can, and discharge the evil by sweating.
|
|
|
The force of viruses increases. You suffer
terribly with pains in your head, throat,
joints and muscles. Make up your mind to
fight with all your power. It's better to
lie down to concentrate on the battle. |
|
|
Observing carefully, you will sense the very
moment you rise from the depths. This is
the turning point that your immune system
begin to win. Then you will cure rapidly
and gain the antibody. |

| A & A' : Shut the entrance of "cold" |
|
The meridian route, Governor Vessel (GV),
passes in the center of the back. The vertebra
which builds the spine has the "spinous
process" in the rear.
The acupoints exist in line on the dents
between the processes.
"A=daitsui (GV14)" exists between the cervical spine
and thoracic spine. As you turn the head,
only the cervical spine moves. Find A in the boundary. |
 |
 |
|
"A=daitsui (GV14)" is said the entrance of a "cold".
I learned the multi-piling mox is efficacious
at the beginning. But it is impossible to
do by myself.
I discovered that the gold grain applied
on an adhesive plaster is efficacious.
One day, so chilly in November, I had a motorbike
trip to the Mt. Akagi with my friends. |
|
|
|
A leader, 22 years old, had a fever more
than 38° C. I put the gold grains around
A.
He cured before we arrived at the top of
the mountain. Then another boy said, "I'm
catching cold, too". He also cured when
we came back to Tokyo. |
|
 |
|
In those days, I worked as a physical therapist
in a hospital. As I told this episode to
inpatients, the whole room was thrown in
uproar. Old inpatients asked me next to next,
saying, "I have caught cold for months".
But the effect was zero. It seems to relate
to the age.
This treatment is efficacious at the stage
1 and 2. It seems to seal the entrance, or
likely it may warm acupoints. With prudence,
I always put on A’which exist below.
If your neck and shoulder are stiff, the
viruses will enter from here ( ) as one of the entrances. Several acupoints
(●) related with the lungs exist around. To
warm there is one of the keys of primary
care against a cold. |
|
| B: Warm the depths by multi-piling mox |
|
One of the acupoints of the meridian route,
Large Intestine Meridian (LI), "B=gokoku (LI4)" exists deep in the hand between the
the thumb and index finger.
Push strongly toward the index finger, and
you find a painful lump. B is as if a large pool. If Qi is stagnant
there, you feel pain. As the stagnancy fades,
the pain becomes less and less. |
 |
| B：multi-piling mox |
|
Twist the moxa as fine as possible like a
thread, put it on the moxa sheet, and burn
it. Next, put a bit bigger moxa on the ash.
Make it bigger little by little according
to the size of the ash. The multi-piling
mox warms the deep cold. As the heat arrives
at the depths, you will cry out, "heated!!".
Then it's well-done. This treatment is efficacious
at the stage 3 and 4.
One day, I had a high fever more than 38°
C, suffering with swollen throat, nose and
face. The viruses was increasing powerfully.
After the multi-piling mox on B, the heaviness of my face began to lighten.
I repeated more than 50 times to complete.
I have experienced also the right B went down the fever 0.4° C in the left
armpit. The left B went down 0.4° C in the right.
The multi-piling mox has some famous arts.
Using some acupoint on the arm, it can drain
the swelling from the face. "LI11"
for an oral inflammation is also efficacious.
Let me add that I use B by an acuneedle for a toothache.
The moxa smoke is effective for the respiratory
organs, including asthma. Breathe the smoke
slowly into the nose and throat. However
you can smell nothing at the beginning, the
sense of smell will recover little by little. |
|
| C: Drain the stagnancy from the meridian route |
|
"C=shoyo (LI1)" is an acupoint of the Large Intestine
Meridian (LI) .
Some important acupoints in the arms and
legs are categorized by a mystical significance.
In the end of the fingers, there are the
acupoints defined as a "well" which
is the arrival and departure point of the
meridian route.
C exists beside the base of nail of the index
finger. |
| ■ acupoints like a "well" |
 |
 |
|
 |
The phlebotomy - drawing some drops of the
stagnant blood - from C has a big power when the viruses begin coming
into the body. If you drain the stagnancy
from the "well", you will probably
clean up all through the route.
It is one of the very famous
arts handed
down from generation to
generation. |
The Lung Meridian (LU) is Yin, and the Large
Intestine Meridian (LI) is Yang. Both are
characterized as a "metal", and
make a pair of "Yin and Yang" which
is the interacting principles of opposite
essences; inside and outside, right and left,
female and male, reverse and obverse, etc...
The cold enters from Yang, and stays in Yin.
When the viruses enters, first Yang (LI)
is shaken. The evil makes Qi stagnant, which
will cause a chain reaction, that is, a vicious
circle.
It is like a traffic congestion. If some
cars stop somewhere, the route gets choked.
If those cars are removed, the traffic gets
smooth.
Qi brings the blood. A finger has only one
artery and one vein. C exists both in the end of the finger and
the meridian route. To drain some drops of
the stagnant blood is much quicker than to
wait to be solved.
As the obstacles are removed, Qi begins to
flow powerfully all through the meridian
route. So almost all the tiny evils will
be swept away.
The phlebotomy has an immediate effect at
the stage 1 and 2. But it will be lighten
somewhat the heaviness of the cold at any
stages. |
|
| D: Specific acupoint for nasal congestion |
|
|
|
"D=hiyo (BL58)", an acupoint of the Bladder Meridian
(BL), is the specific acupoint for nasal
congestion.
My first meeting with D was when I was in the first grade of my
Acupuncture school.
Then my nose continued to stuff after a cold
had cured. Just in time, I learned, "Use
D for nasal congestion", which had described
in a Chinese classical book written 4000
years before. |
As I tried to put the silver grain on D, the congestion soon faded away. It was
a miracle of effect. 3 days later, driving
a car on my way, I thought "it will
be already unnecessary". As I took it
off, my nose began to stuff rapidly. As soon
as I arrived home, I put it again. And then
my nose began to pass.
D is also useful for the empyema and so on.
When you suffer with a hay fever (allergy
to pollen of a Japanese cedar), the least
you will be relieved of the stuffing. I was
often troubled with the nasal catarrh from
my childhood. But now I am unrelated with
the nasal congestion thanks to D.
My D is, a little different from the general
acupoint in the book, placed near by the
Gallbladder Meridian (GB) rather than the
Bladder Meridian (BL).
My D exists about in the middle of the leg; between
the calf and the thin, and between the knee
and the ankle.
Let's find out D by yourself. Sit with your leg bent out,
and look at around the
center of your leg.
|
|
To begin with, ascertain the point by your
finger. Push softly around there, breathing
slowly only through the nose. You will find
the point where the nose can pass the air
a bit smoother.
Next, put the bottom of a toothpick, breathing
by the nose, on the finger mark to find the
pinpoint. Put the silver grain on it. As
the adhesive plaster peels off, put on the
other leg. Use right and left alternately.
The remote control treatment is a balance
therapy. So you can use the silver grain
only for the one purpose. If you use more
than two points, all effects would be wiped
out. |
|
| E: Take away the swelling of the throat by
gold grain |
|
At the beginning of a cold, you may find
the swollen lumps (●) in the throat.
There are a lot of lymph nods in the throat,
which work as gatekeepers to stop the disease
germ invading the body.
As you put the gold grain on the top of the
lumps, the swelling begin to shrink little
by little.
The adhesive plasters begin to peel off in
a few days, then all the lumps will fade
away. |
 |
I know the effect, however I don't explain
the reason whether the gold grain may "draw
the evil" or "warm the point".
This is a local control treatment. So you
can use as many points as you like at the
same time, including other purposes, such
as stomach ache, muscular trouble, and so
on. Find the swelling by your finger and
put and put it on every lump.
Let me add an information. In my younger
days, one of my favorite use was a Chinese
herbal medicine, "kufu-gedoku-to".
It is a specific medicine for tonsillitis,
which is immediately potent at the beginning.
I experienced it also worked when I lost
my voice by the swollen tonsil. Marvelously,
I recovered the voice in a few hours. |
|
| F: Stop the dry cough and prompt to drain
the sputum |
|
A cough is a natural immune reaction to discharge
the poisonous matter. It works for pushing
something out from the throat, the bronchi
and/or the lungs. I feel doubtful about stop
it indiscriminately by a medicine.
But the dry cough is very hard. One day,
I suffered terribly with incessant cough
watching a TV movie. I was so upset that
I felt as if I had no time to breathe. I
tried to stick in various acupoints next
to next to search one which has the effect.
Then I found "Fa=gekimon (PC4)" stopped the dry cough, which was
belong to the Pericardium Meridian (PC),
not to the Lung Meridian (LU). Only I stuck
shallowly - about 0.5 millimeter - by the
thinnest acuneedle.
As long as the acuneedle remained there,
the cough stopped. As soon as I took it off,
the cough started again. So I tried to put
the silver grain on Fa. But the effect was a little less than the
acuneedle.
I tried also to put the gold grain on "Fb=tentotsu (CV22)", an acupoint of the Conception Vessl
(CV) which passes in the center of the front.
Then I discovered that a set of F (Fa+Fb) took away the dry cough perfectly.
| F use as a set (Fa+Fb) |
 |
|
 =Fa gekimon (PC4) |
 =Fb tentotsu (CV22) |
|
|
|
gold grain → gekimon (PC4) |
|
PC runs through inside and center of the
arm; the middle finger ～ palm ～wrist ～forearm
～ elbow ～.
It exists about
in the middle between the
wrist and elbow,
a little nearer elbow. Stroke
your skin lightly,
and you find it in a slight
hollow. |
|
silver grain → tentotsu (CV22) |
|
It exists between the clavicles, above the
breastbone, and bottom of the throat. |
|
|
The "dry cough" is unnecessary,
that is, nothing but the excessive reaction.
It's not only hard but also exhausting your
physical energy.
But there is an "indispensable cough"
that discharge wastes, such as broken lymphocyte
or dead viruses, wrapping in the sputum.
F (Fa+Fb) will help your cough working for the normal
purpose.
In 1999, my father was in hospital because
the esophageal cancer spread to the lungs.
I was so sad and drove to Niigata every weekend
for the treatment.
His terminal pain was faded away by Age-Old
Anma without medicine. And F prompted to drain the sputum. I think over
I was so lucky to help him easy and happy
in his last days. |
|
| Take away a local cold by Moxibustion |
|
As I mentioned above, "Catch cold"
indicates that the "cold" signifies
the "corona/flu viruses". Everybody
have some personal "cold point",
which may change of age or environment. Observe
yourself, and you find your cold points.
Some cloths and food can warm yourself. Besides
that, Moxibustion has an immediate effect
on the local "cold point".
In my younger days, my legs were always chilled
to the born. Acupuncture release me from
it, but next, I came to feel chill in my
arms.
The right figure is an example of the indirect
Moxibustion on my arms. For no particular
principle, I put the indirect mox, using
"kamaya-mini", on all the points where I felt cold.
The moxa smoke is efficacious for respiratory
organs.
I had to burn them without delay. If I lost
the timing, the cold would invaded the whole
body.
|
 |
 |
kamaya-mini (light) : for indirect use |
| The inner moxa is a bad one mixed with leaves
and steams. Never burn the contents directly on the skin. |
|
|
|
| To rise your body temperature is to rise
the immune power |
|
The new corona, COVIT-19, may strike a mortal
blow to old people, but it hardly ever gives
a serious matter to young people.
One day in 2016, my mother was sick with
pneumonia. A nurse, who worked in my mother's
special nursing home for old people, accompanied
to a hospital.
She said, "Old people apt to have neither
fever nor cough in spite of catching cold
or pneumonia. When we notice something is
wrong, it often happens it's too late as
the X ray finds almost all the lungs are
white."
The difference between the old
and the young
is not only the strength of immunity
but
also the body temperature. It's
generally
believed that people who have
higher temperature
are much stronger against the
infection.
The young move much, and the old move less.
If you say to the old, "Move from this
chair to the other", they take the shortest
route in minimum motion.
Children move incessantly. While sitting,
they swing the legs and wiggle the body.
While walking, they come and go, run around
and jump up and down.
The "children's wasteful moving"
is the very secret of keeping your youth.
By moving wastefully, you can rise the body
temperature. The energy-saving is a straight
line to a coffin.
Rise your power of immunity by moving and
moving, such as some sports, exercise, chattering
loudly, laughing, exciting joyfully, etc.
 |
The vegetables have the great power from
nature.
They grow by pumping Qi energy in the earth.
Warm yourself by eating a hot vegetable soup
in season.
Chemical-free ones will be better if you
can get them. |
|
I recommend you a negimiso soup when you are busy. Put in a bowl a
large quantity of chopped negi (Japanese onion). Put a heaped teaspoonful
of miso (soybean paste) and a little dried bonito
shavings.
Pour boiled water into the bowl, and eat
while it's hot.
The aroma of a half-boiled negi is also efficacious for your respiratory
organs. |
|
 |
|
|
| Fight quick while you have plenty of energy |
|
Both corona and influenza viruses cause a
"catching cold". Nowadays some
tests can identify them in exact timing.
But I think it is unnecessary to distinguish.
Both symptoms are much the same, besides,
the way of fighting is totally the same.
In my latter half of twenties, I met a Chinese
herbal medicine, "kakkon-to", which was useful at the beginning
of a cold. As I took it at once, the curtain
fell for the time being. But it does not
kill the viruses.
The viruses stayed in the human body watching
for a chance to down the strength of the
host. However I had been able to hold for
a week, and two weeks, the time would come
the second curtain rose. The viruses restarted
to multiply. Then I already lost enough energy
by the prolonged bargain with them. As a
result, I had to take much time to recover.
Eventually, I found the best way to conquer
a "cold", that is, to fight immediately
while I had plenty of energy. As you notice
to have failed in stopping the cold at the
entrance, you must make up your mind to stand
against a do-or-die resistance.
Acupuncture instructs your body how to cure.
Try to make full use the arts mentioned above,
and you will ease your fighting. |
|
| Injure the viruses by a fever, and discharge
with a sweat |
|
As the viruses multiply, the thermoregulatory
center in the brain reports the body to be
too cold, and orders to rise the temperature.
A chill is a sign from the brain. A fever
is a natural immune reaction to conquest
the enemy. All the living things should be
damaged by a higher temperature.
As you make it lower by the antipyretic,
you may hinder the immune power. Besides,
the up-and-down repeat exhausts you. The
quick attack is a shortcut to success, better
than the prolongation.
A long established remedy, "Warm yourself
as hot as you can, sweat abundantly, and
discharge the poisonous matter", is
much more reasonable.
I introduce you my favorite way of fight
at the stage 3 (& 4). Observantly, I
check some signs of the invasion, such as
a chill, heavy head, stuffed face, parched
nose, and irritated throat. My skin also
gets sensitive because it relates with the
Lung Meridian (LU).
As I notice them, I take a hot bath. However
I don't feel hot while having a chill, I
keep staying. After the bath, I drink the
coldest beer. It is not only my favorite
but also I hope for the effect somewhat as
a fermented food.
Then I get into the bed with a hot water
bottle, wrapped up in an abundant quilt.
I sleep like a log to concentrate upon a
battle, and sweat and sweat and sweat.
At the beginning, the sweat is slimy because
it contains poisonous factors of dead viruses,
broken leukocyte, etc.
I must often change into the dry pajama from
the slimy. Dry towels and cotton goods are
useful for wrapping myself and absorbing
sweat. |
|
| Hard-earned immunity is your true comrade |
|
In my first half of twenties, I caught cold
very often. My elder sons were the same.
We three used to down with a fever around
40° C in every month.
Then I met a doctor whom I respected much.
He taught me there was no medicine for kill
the viruses. He said, "Try to fight
without medicine, and you know you cure by
your self-healing power. So you will have
confidence by experience."
Chemical-free vegetables brought us the turning
point. I grew to have cold only twice a year.
Next turning point was Acupuncture. I came
to catch cold once a year. Nevertheless I
often suffered I felt nearly "cold".
So I discovered various arts mentioned above.
Actually, I have not caught cold ever since
I played tennis under a burning sun. Far
from that, I have never felt even "nearly
cold".
It is said, "Sunburn prevents a cold".
The ultraviolet rays may work. It may be
that to move hard in a sweat for hours produces
a good effect. It may be that my autonomic
nervous system has developed by the extremes
of weather.
Or, it may be that I have been infected with
all types of corona viruses, and I obtain
the antibodies against multiple variations.
It's unbelievable, but now I get free from
the anxiety of cold. At last, I break with
my lifelong enemy at the age of around sixty.
By the way, my two sons and a daughter got
stronger in a few years, and seldom and never
caught cold.
Mind and body act on the same principle.
A hard-earned experience will be the most
reliable comrade which eternally helps you.
But, if you escape from the reality deceiving
yourself, such a half-finished experience
should be nothing. You will suffer with similar
troubles one after another.
The natural immunity you have won without
medicine or vaccine is very strong. After
you have borne the pain, the crown of victory
should help you later. |
