WHO AM I
In 2007 I lost it all in the financial collapse and went volunteering.85% of all
millionaires go broke, its a fact..
I failed miserably the first two years in acupuncture. It was spectacular!
Plastic surgeon, detox center, MD, allergist clinic, nurse practitioner, bio
identical, spa, wellness center, therapy combo, solo practice, house calls,
group, volunteer, working hourly, ER hospital, herbal house call van deal,
old folks home, 4 overseas volunteer trips
Then I finally figured it all out how to make a practice work
In my clinic, I see 110-120 people a week on my own, each patient individually, no
group treatments, no assembly line acupuncture. I see 25-30 people a day, and I
work 9-6/7pm, Monday thru Friday. My wife runs the front office, I do all the herbs,
treating, insurance, cleaning, laundry, make herbs, ordering of supplies and
materials. We have only been open since 2009 March. We were at 76 people first
week. I DIDNT KNOW ANYBODY IN MY AREA! It was a small town, 12,000
people mostly of fisherman/farmers/blue collar workers, no acupuncture ever in the
town.
Why am I here talking? Because I'm a novice. Because I'm new. Because I
dont know that much. If I can do this? YOU ALL CAN!!! IM NOT SPECIAL!

Books/Seminars
www.elotus.org
www.evherbs.com
You can purchase all these books from Evergreen Herbs

Dr. Richard Tan (any book or seminar)

Dr. Wei Chi Young (any book or seminar)
We will be discussing images and mirrors based on
teachings of Dr. Tan and Dr. Wei Chi Young. Both distal
acupuncture. Dr. Tan is Dr. Tans teachings and ideas.
Dr. Wei Chi Young teaches Master Tung acupuncture.
Some of the ideas are similar and some are quite
different.
Just keep an open mind. Its about clinical success not
which idea is better.

WHO AM I

Acupuncture
Dr. Tan, Master Tung- ALL ACUPUNCTURE WORKS! These are
the styles that work best for me

Herbs/Pulse diagnosis
Dr. Jimmy Chang

Practice management
Solo practice, no contracts, no community, bill insurance/ cash, 24 people per hour, sell Evergreen herbs, Design for health
supplements

Experience
62,000 treatments in American and Overseas.

How do I practice?
I have been taught Tung Acupuncture by Wei Chi Young and I have
been taught the Balance Method acupuncture by Dr. Richard Tan. To
them I owe everything I have learned.
Im also grateful for Dr. Mahers help and expertise. THANK YOU!
I had the chance to practice all these points overseas, doing
volunteer work, treating 100 patients a day. Volunteering is important.
It allows you to treat for free thus it allows you to treat without fear. It
allows you to experiment without worrying about booking the next
appt. You can test, try, retry, rethink, and all the time youre helping
others. People come for months, you can see the evolution of your
treatmentswhat is working? What is not working? Why not? Why is
it?
Treat as much as you can, you will get better with experience

Who AM I

Remember this!

Biggest reason people dont succeed is because

they dont expose themselves to the existing
information - Jim Rhome

Traditional Chinese medicine has been

chosen by the World Health
Organization for worldwide propagation
to meet the heath care needs of the
twenty-first century.

I'm just Brad. I have no magic needle, no golden touch, I

have no privileged information nor powerful potions. If I
can do it? Anybody can! Step by step. Needle by needle,
patient by patient, we learn. All this information is
available to everybody. There are no secrets!

If that doesnt excite you,

you better check your pulse!!!!

You just NEED TO PRACTICE and CRITCALLY think

Dont believe the lies!

Remember this!
120 years biology,
www.bluezones.com
Its not just how it is
you dont need to live like
this.
We are the Home
inspectors, Western Med
are the firemen. We make
sure the house never
catches on fire.

Polio and the common cold

207 countries in the world (give or take a few)

178th in infant mortality rate
70% of Americans take AT LEAST ONE prescription medication
45% of American population has AT LEAST ONE chronic disease
38th in overall health care system (38th, out of 38thats dead last.)
28th in life expectancy (some say 49th)
18 minutes an American dies of PRESCPTION PAIN med overdose.
13th in overall happiness
7th highest cancer country in the world
6th leading cause of death is Doctor mistakes (some say 4th)
4.7% of population yet consume 80% of all pain pills
2nd fattest country in the World (we just lost our #1 status to Mexico)
1 in diabetes rates in people 20 years and older! Now thats impressive! NOT!

Americans have shorter lifespans and higher rates of injury and disease
than their counterparts in other rich countries,

We spend 2.5 more than all other countries on health care and have lower
outcomes

Only 21,000 died of illegal drugs last year. 108,000 died of PROPERLY
PRESCRIBED and PROPERLY TAKEN Western Drugs. Huh???

MIRROR IMAGE

MIRROR IMAGE

Master Tung

Because there are?

Images Mirrors channels and Relationships

At least 6 channel relationships, some would even say 7 or 8

There are about 100 different images

Three are TCM some odd 300 pts, master tung 700 odd points
There are so MANY THEORIES
There are so MANY IDEAS

They all work, but thats not the question.

The question should be, what works better?

BEFORE WE START-

BEFORE WE START Are there other ways to image?

QUESTION
Does TCM use imaging and mirroring?
LU9, LI4, GB41, GB39, ST36, SP6, SP4, BL40?
Just to name a few.

Of course! Hand, head, ear, even other ways to image within the
distal community. I say, try one way for 50,000 patient and THEN
decide if it works. All this theory, its you and I that need to prove it out
in the clinic, on our own, with our own needles We will be discussing Master Tung ideas.

MIRROR IMAGE

MIRROR IMAGE

BEFORE WE START-

BEFORE WE START-

QUESTION

If you dont know Tung points?

Do these points work because the image and theory tells

us so? Or do they just work and we have used theory
and images/mirrors etc to help us understand a very
complex and mysterious healing mechanism?

Breathe! This class is about understanding images and

mirrors whether it Tung, Tan, TCM or ABC

Important distinction to be made here

MIRROR IMAGE

MIRROR IMAGE

BEFORE WE START

You will have to take notes

I didnt not everything in here
We will do lots of demos, they are not in notes
And ill go on clinical sidetracks,

LETS GO!

Really, what good is all this is you can make it work?

LIMB MIRRORS

EXAMPLES

The hand is the foot, the foot is the hand, elbow is

knee, knee is elbow, shoulder is hip, hip is shoulder

LIMBS
Very easy, you just need to match up the same bone,
or tissue, or muscles, or whatever.

LIMB MIRRORS REVERSED

Hand is hip, hip is hand, elbow is knee, knee is
elbow, foot is shoulder, shoulder is foot

MIRROR IMAGE

The challenge is picking the right way to balance it

My suggestion out of 7 ways to balance?
Use system 1 on the limbs. Id bet my practice on it.

MIRROR IMAGE
Arm will treat an arm (upper or lower)
Leg will treat a leg (upper or lower)

One more Mirror example, kind of

Just think like we say in TCM for Asthma?
The lung (the top) grabs the qi and the Kidney (the
bottom) roots the qi
Same idea the bottom or top of a limb can treat each other

MIRROR IMAGE

MIRROR IMAGE

EXAMPLE

MIRROR EXAMPLES
3 lateral passes, 77.27 treats upper leg
Fan Hou Jie treats opposite shoulder pain
San Cha San treats same side arm issues
77.22-23 will treat ankle pain
PC3 thumb issues

There should no grey area at all.

How are we doing?

Lots of ideas

IMAGES

So you just pick a Mirror and go?

NO!
Finding the correct mirror or image is STEP 1
Now, you have your image.
2nd pick your correct channel
3rd (not really THIS class, but relationships, reaction area, tissues
correspondence)

IMAGES
Are a bit tougher, we have to imagine a bit
You have to let go a bit

You can't just lines things up and start throwing darts.

Remember, we are not happy with a decent needle, we fantastic

Tung Family system
Any and all bones can be broken down into 3 jiaos.

3 JIAOS

MIRROR IMAGE
3 Jiaos
The most common bone is the 2nd metacarpal bone.
These Jiaos can be reversed
Examples:
Ling Gu, He Gu, Dai Bai

Heaven human Earth

Dao ma 3 needles in a row
3 is an important number in Chinese culture

MIRROR IMAGE
GB34 is on the Tibia bone. GB34 is at the upper jiao
of that bone. We know LI11 is great for blood
pressure reduction. LI11 is located on the radius
bone. If we break down the radius into three sections,
the upper middle jiao then LI11 TCM point is either at
the low end of the lower jiao or the upper end of the
upper jiao. LI11 is great for headache reduction,
typically because it is often caused by hypertension. It
also treats dizziness caused by hypertension. It still
works great for any headache or dizziness. But
typically, it works better if the headache or dizziness
is caused by a heart issue.

There is a point combination in Tung
acupuncture that is extremely effective for
many odd, random, and autoimmune
diseases, as well as any type of stagnation
issue. These points are called 77.27 or the 3
lateral passes. It is a set of 3 points evenly
distributed on the GB channel along the
fibula.

Questions on 3 Jiaos?

MIRROR IMAGE
Master Tung Family 12 segments
Any bone can be broken down into 12 segments

12 segments

Any bone can be broken down into 12 segments. Why is LI11 so great
for dizziness? LI11 is the head. The radius is broken down into 12
equal segments. Head, neck, upper limbs, lung/heart, liver, stomach,
duodenum, kidney, low back, lower limbs, thigh, and foot

The super secret Tung point for insomnia just below LI3? Hhmmmmm
And there ISNT 13 segments! Only 12 heart and lung are together

MIRROR IMAGE

MIRROR IMAGE

12 Segments examples

The first question I asked is, where do these 12 segments come

from and why are there 12 and not 11 or 13? When they say upper
limbs does that mean the bicep or the triceps? What part of the
bicep, the big head or the smaller head? What part of the stomach?
And, why the duodenum and not the jejunum?

This is very western minded thinking.

There needs to questioning, there needs to be research BUT you
and I also need to trust the body.

We still can't even explain caffeine yet via western medicine

We still can't even explain gravity.

Questions on 12 segments?

Making Images Work

Using images
3 ideas
Dont use the same image layer your
images
1-2-3 Needle Approach
Your Patient Doesnt Know Where the Pain
Really Is

Layer Your Images

The first is dont use the same image. Use different images. An
example might be headaches. We talked before about how the foot
can be head, the knee can be the head, the upper thigh could be the
head (along with many other images).
We said the 12 segments, or reversed could be the head, the upper
jiao or reversed could be the head. You understand many images. So
what do I mean dont use the same image? If you choose to do more
than the one body part, do not replicate it. This has HUGE CLINICAL
SIGNIFICANCE.

Making Images Work

The second biggest mistake I see distal practitioners making is the 12-3 needle only needles. Not the 1-2-3 by my teacher by Dr. Tan, but
the idea in Tung acupuncture that you can use 1-2-3 needles to fix
any and all patients. Again, after you have seen 100.000 patients and
inserted 1,000,000 needles that idea is great. By then you should be
able to use 1-4 needles and fix almost anybody or anything.
But to get to 100,000 patients you will need to be successful in the
eyes of your western patients. That success is dependent on two
things, your ability to run a business, and the other is you getting
fantastic results at least 80% of the time. When you first learn, prior to
your 100,000 patients you will most likely need more than 1-4 needles
to have fantastic results.

Expand your images

They only know what area is receiving the most input into the brain.
Yes, their kidneys hurt and they tell you, but their liver could also hurt
or they could have digestive issues and they wont know because the
brain is only focusing on the worst problem at that moment the kidney
pain. By expanding your images, you will automatically address
multiple issues.
If you still dont believe me, how many of you have patients with left
sided back pain. They come in, you treat them and then they say
what? Wow, my left side feels great but now my right side hurts. You
might reply with The pain moved. Actually it NEVER MOVED. It was
always there.

In the clinic, I have seen perfectly placed needles in the

correct points at the correct depth but yet the needle
doesnt yield fantastic results. This is usually because the
tissue needled is not the correct tissue for the disease.

You know, life aint all sunshine and rainbows.

Pain is temporary, it may last a day, a minute or hour or a dayor even
a year. But eventually it will subside and something else will take its
place

I DONT WANT TO HEAR PROBLEMS

I WORK IN SOLUTIONS!
Japanese, no word for problem, closed translation..a dangerous
opportunity
The biggest challenge you will face is not your client, its your own negative
review points about money, or insurance, or healthcare, or people or whatever.
KNOCK IT OFF! CHEER UP!

If I quit however, it will last forever

Remember, depression, frustration, anxiety, pain, dis-illusion, its just a
natural part of the process of becoming a stronger version of yourself. It
happens to us spiritually and happens in the world physically
You gotta breathe!
