Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)

Question:
I have been reading your book (Energy Medicine) looking for clues about what I can do for my tinnitus. I am flushing Kidney meridian and then strengthening it. I also flush Triple Warmer and then hold its sedating points. This helps with some of the symptoms, but I would like to know if there are any other things I can do to eliminate this problem completely?

Answer:
You are already doing a great job figuring out things for yourself, and yes I do have a few more suggestions. There is a point near the jaw that you can find by placing your index fingers in front your ears and your thumbs just below your cheek bone. When you open your mouth wide, your thumbs will drop into an indent. If this spot is tender, massage it daily. Also, if you wrap your hands around the back side of your head, your fingers will easily fall into the central lymphatic points. Massage them. You can find a picture of these points on page 96 of Energy Medicine. In addition to flushing and sedating Triple Warmer, I would follow the Triple Warmer meridian, starting at the eyebrow and going down and around the ear, feeling for sore spots. Wherever you find a sore spot, hold it with firm pressure, but not deep pressure, until the pain diminishes.

Lazy Eye

Question:
My son was born with a "lazy eye." Until now he has had an easy enough time managing it.  But he is now a college student, and the intense studying fatigues his eyes.   As a result, he is having a lot more trouble with this problem.  What can I have him do to help himself?

Answer:
Get him into the habit of deeply massaging the K-27 points (pp. 74-78) twice a day, especially when he is tired. He can also massage the bone/orbit surrounding his eyes. This is done with the thumbs pointed into the bones that surround the eyes.  The eye bone massage should be done daily and deeply.  Also, have him palm his eyes while breathing deeply for about 30 seconds.  I am also a big fan of the "spindle cell maneuver," which in this case would be for him to gently pinch and stretch the eyelid of his good eye twice each day.  In addition, the 5-minute "Daily Energy Routine" explained in Chapter 3 of Energy Medicine should help him not only with his general health and sense of vitality, but also with the "lazy eye."

Graves Disease

Question:
I have Graves disease and am facing the prospect of having radioactive treatment designed to kill my thyroid. I would consequently have to take medication for the rest of my life.  Can energy medicine offer an alternative treatment?

Answer:
The triple warmer meridian governs the thyroid. Graves disease involves triple warmer having been in a state of panic for so long that it does not know how to properly manage the thyroid.  Without seeing your unique energies, I cannot tell you which energy techniques would be most helpful, but I can offer some best guesses. In my experience, sedating triple warmer via the acupressure points, and then strengthening it, followed by strengthening heart and spleen, also using the acupressure points, can alter the direction of this disease.  Balancing all body’s energies is also very important.  The "Daily Energy Routine," coupled with tracing the 14 meridians (easiest to learn from the videotapes), is a good way to accomplish this
