AK and acupunture points

• Goodheart has treated certain muscle weaknesses
  with the use of tonification points ( one of the
  command points)
• Acupuncture system is one of the five factors of
  the intervetebral foramen (IVF)
• Application of AK for checking the system
• of meridians and associated organs
• (Goodheart, Leaf, Walther, Gerz)

AK and meridian correlation I

• Description of the muscle - organ - meridian -
  classifications from Goodheart
• Relations with the associated sedation point on
  the same side of the body can be verified
• Example
• Normotonic M. rectus femoris (SI - associated)
  is weakened through the sedation point SI 8 on
  the same side of the body

AK and meridian correlation II

• Sedation point the most reliable method of
  sedation
• ( ICAK Conference in Monte Carlo 1996)
• An internal disease pattern without a definite
  differentiation between hypertonic and
  normotonic muscles is unimaginable
• The sedation point is only one of the five
  command points onto every meridian
• Further command points offer more intense
  possibilities of sedation or tonification

6
Effective potential of the command points

• Effective potential of all command points
• From 1997-2001 analysed with AK from Gerz,
  Eppler-Tschiedl, Suntinger and Burtscher
• Results Book AK-Meridiantherapie (AKMT) -
  synthesis of acupuncture teaching and Applied
  Kinesiology (AKSE 2001)
• AKMT courses belong to an obligatory curriculum
  of the IMAK

7
AK and application of the command points

• Combination of AK and command points - short AKMT
  -
• it permits detection of coherences between
  organs,
• meridian functions, focuses and structure
• Diagnostic possibility
• Analysis of meridian- and organ systems
• Differentiation of focuses and intolerances
• Differentiation of the effectiveness of
  therapeutic substances
• Therapeutic possibility
• Efficient acupuncture with 2 to 3 needles

8
Diagnostic overview

• Association of meridians to muscle testing gives
  
• an overview of the condition of the meridian
• An empty meridian correlates with one or more
  weak associated muscles in the AK-muscle testing
• An exaggerated meridian correlates with one or
  more hypertonic associated muscles
• A balanced meridian is associated with
  normotonic muscle testing of the correlating
  muscles
• ( Goodheart, Leaf, Walther, Gerz)

9
Difficulty when meeting multiple focuses and
intolerances

• Identical AK results ( CH, TL)
• Identical findings on several teeth
• ? Evaluation?
• Consequence?
• Lots of incompatible nourishments
• Reduced compliance of the patient
• Development of counterproductive stress

10
Focuses creating hypertonic muscles

• Example for further differentiation
• Indicator muscle hypertonic through
• nourishments / focus
• ? Sedation point doesnt weaken any more
• ? However more sedating points allow further
• differentiation
• Primary treatment of most irritating factor

11
Focuses creating weak muscles

• Example for further differentiation
• Weak indicator muscle through nourishment/
• focus
• ?Tonification point strengthens/ does not
  strengthen
• ?More tonifying points permit further
  differentiation
• Primary treatment of most irritating factor

12
AK and acupuncture procedures

• Primarily evaluation of most possible
• findings
• AK muscle testing
• CH, TL
• Functional orthopedic results,
• Best acupuncture point which negates
• all positive findings when challenged
• or therapy localized
• ?Acupuncture will be successful

13
AK and efficiency of acupuncture

• In most cases only 2 - 3
• highly efficient
• acupuncture points
• ?Reduction of needles
• being used
• ?Good compliance
• Element points are most commonly found
• Only few acupuncture sessions (treatments) will
• be necessary (5 - 7x)

14
Origin of command points

• Five points on each meridian are called command
  points
• Correlation of each point to an element with its
  given quality
• Each meridian contains of one

Earth point
Fire point
Metal point
Water point
Wood point

Element points - work of action

• Element points act in an overall way on other
  elements with only minimal effect on their own
  element
• Element points work simultaneously
• Tonifying on the son-element
• Sedating on the mother-element
• Controlling on the grandson-element
• Supporting on the grandparents- element
• Element points are the central key points of the
  command points
