    The Scapula—Studies of Tian Zong and related points.

    In the Chinese tradition the shoulder girdle represents one’s destiny, and  Tian Zong  encourages that expression,  the actions of man in harmony with his own destiny and his own genetic past, with ‘Heaven’. This implies  human kind  guided by an innate wisdom.

Acupuncture S.I.d.A - MANIFEST

The Italian school of acupuncture (S.I.d.A.) was founded with the aim to bring together the cultural experiences of various schools of acupuncture and reading of ancient texts of Chinese medicine in the light of classic Taoist interpretation of oral tradition handed down to us from prof. Jeffrey Yuen.

This, followed by a constant and careful clinical verification, inspired us to create easily reproducible treatment schemes that, distancing us from the protocols properties, leaving intact...>

A central serous retinopathy

G. L. a 64 years old woman, the consultation reason:
Reduced visual acuity caused by a central serous retinopathy.
The disease started two years ago. It seems without a cause.
Other symptoms:
The patient just reports some occasional prophetic dreams. The symptom shows a disorder of the ministerial function of the liver. We treat it with the Ki 21 point. The Ki 21 point, You Men, tones up the blood of the liver drawing from the Chong Mai “the sea of the blood”.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for 10 years (broncopatia e broncopneumopatia sono la stessa cosa?..ho trovato questa traduzione in inglese).
In my personal medical experience I treated four central serous retinopathy patients in this way. Three patients of them got healthy again and the last one didn’t get any improvement.
Dr. E. D’Onofrio, who works in the University of Chieti, treated other patients by the same points. I asked him to share his medical experience.

Therapy: GB 37, Ki 21 Symptoms analysis
The central serous retinopathy is a retinal disease characterized by a slight accumulation of a fluid under the retina. It could be caused by an accumulation of humidity in the retina.
In order to purify the humidity, it's necessary to use the points of the gall bladder. In this particular case you can use GB 37: the Guang Ming point.
In fact, according to our school, all GB points activate the function of purifying the humidity by the gall bladder of the curious organ.
I want to remember some points which purify the humidity in different areas:
GB 8 = Marrow
GB 22 = Vessels
GB 29 = Bone
GB 20 = Brain
GB 26 = Uterus
The points from GB 35 to GB 39 are specific (according to SIdA ) for the orifices of the head which are connected to the brain:
GB 35 = heart = word disorders
GB 36 = lung = smell
GB 37 = liver = sight
GB 38 = spleen = taste
GB 39 = kidney = hearing

Clinical course
At the end of the second session the patient says that she got an improvement of eyesight. We have to wait one month to repeat the O.C.T. in order to have an objective evaluation.

    Pre-Natal And Post-Natal Heaven
    What I want to assume is that the structure of acupuncture refers to an ancient law, known by all initiation traditions, which the Chinese have renamed in terms of yin and yang, and that could be read again under this ancient lens for adding meaning and some new modality to our therapeutic approach. This law is the law of the 3 octaves.

    The relationship between Connectome, Zong qi, Wei and Qiao
    Personality and I.Q. can be explained by connectomes; maybe even memories - the most peculiar expression of our identity - are coded in our connectome. Genes alone can’t explain how our brain has become what it is. Connectome, unlike genome (even considering the variations of code triplets expressions: epigenetic), keeps changing during the entire life.
