Imaging Made Easy
Your vision will become clear only when
you can look into your own heart. Who
looks outside, dreams; who looks inside,
awakens.

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!

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!
Remember this!
120 years biology,

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.
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???

BEFORE WE START-
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.

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
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.
MIRROR IMAGE
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?

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

Usually, not always, but the whole torso can be
treated on the limb and that usually corresponds
with the same level.
This works better for internal issues, pain its ok, but you
break downs at the joints not that effective.

they are copyrighted. There in my book coming out very

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
MIRROR IMAGE
MIRROR IMAGE
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.

As you head to your clinic? You want happy patients? You want successful
outcomes? You want GREATER needle efficacy?
PAIN
name pairs (Tung) or (Dr. Tan) system 1 for pain limb
Zang Fu Bei Tong (Tung) or (Dr. Tan) system 4 for Pain torso
defer to shoulders and hips FIRST as limb pain then 2nd torso pain
INTERNAL ISSUES
reaction area, theory, or zang fu if you prefer
Confused? When you dont know? Too complicated?
Trust the body. 3 jiaos, 12 segments, overlap images, be redundant, a few more
needles is ok
AS you head to your clinic? You want happy patients? You want
successful outcomes? You want GREATER needle efficacy?
Overlap your images
Expand your images
And for Gods sake quit doing the same Dao Ma on both arms and
bilateral legs. I swear Im going to pull my hair out.
CHANGE IT! THINK! IMPROVISE! OVERCOME! ADAPT!
AS you head to your clinic? You want happy patients? You want
successful outcomes? You want GREATER needle efficacy?
Thank you!
