Acupuncture Explained, Part I

by David Scrimgeour, Acupuncturist & Chinese Medical Practitioner, Boulder, CO



Many people are aware of the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating pain and injuries. However, acupuncture has many broader applications, especially for preventing and treating chronic diseases. The meridians and functions of acupuncture were described over 2500 years ago in the Classic of Difficult Issues and the Classic of Internal Medicine. One quote says, 
Some people say that an illness that has persisted for a long time cannot be removed.  This statement is wrong. When someone who is experienced in utilizing the needles removes such an illness, it is as if he pulled out a thorn, as if he untied a knot, as if he opened what was blocked.”
Traditionally, acupuncture has been considered an important means for tuning the body’s energy —described as Qi , to both prevent and treat imbalances leading to disease. Qi is further described as the primordial energy or vital force that flows through the body and governs all bodily systems, organs and functions. When we are in true health, with mental, physical and emotional vitality, we say the Qi is balanced. Tuning the Qi resets the body and guides it back towards homeostasis. When it is even slightly out of tune or imbalanced, symptoms will occur. Often they are subtle and manifest as lower energy, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, irritability, anxiety, depression, problems digesting food (heart burn, acid reflux), skin breakouts or recurrent viral infections. These subtle imbalances show up months or years before clinical diagnoses can be made of more serious diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorders or high blood pressure. Acupuncture can adjust these subtle energies at the first signs of deviation, bringing the body back into balance and helping to prevent chronic illness. If chronic illness is already present, acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas are some of the best treatments to guide the body back into health.

  1. My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house.
