Home Again - for four days

[Guest guest]

Got back home to Seattle a couple of hours ago and just now finished

scanning (emphasis on scanning - not reading) two week's worth of

posts.

Right up front, my thanks also to Debbi for suggesting the SoCal

party. She did an outstanding job on putting it all together. I

personally enjoyed putting some live faces to names on the list. I

also definitely appreciated the opportunity to be able to work with

some more people with EDS. Among other things, this was my first

chance to work with someone with VEDS as well as someone officially

diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. In fact, I got to work with two people

with Fibro.

As info - no doubt about it at all anymore in my mind. The official

diagnositic points for Fibromyalgia are in fact acupuncture points.

Most of the points are ones that I personally use in my basic Jin

Shin Do release pattern. I found it interesting that the points

were all tender (suggesting to me that there was an energetic

imbalance involved). It also suggests that a full acupressure

release treatment should provide symptomatic relief. There

definitely needs to be more work in this area.

I will post separately, but the last couple of weeks have also been

a good test on using a Visceral Manipulation technique for

symptomatic relief of Acid Refulx disease. According to my wife,

her symptoms have been reduced by about 90 percent and she is using

nothing more than a finger tip and one spot that I showed her. I

will put out a more detailed post on this before I leave on the next

trip.
