Acupuncture, Fish Oil, & Portion Distortion, These slides contain three separate presentations that could be given at local community centers to help educate the general public on the afore mentioned issues. All are mainstream concerns or modalities now in Western culture and are now utilized in the United States. Acupuncture in the United States is licensed and legal when practiced correctly. This is important so that no one is injured and more Western people are now open to learning about the benefits of acupuncture. Selected Subjects: 1) Acupuncture is now an approved treatment for most medical plans. 2) Fish oil is a needed supplement by a majority of Americans except perhaps those with a high fish intake. 3) Portion distortion has run rampant through the United States and needs to be address if we want to help 1/3 of the obese or over weight Americans and get them back to better health. 
 All of my presentations include handouts, a resources list, plus a small 5 question quiz to ensure seminar attendees understood important lecture points. This assignment was labor intensive I hope that I have gotten a majority of it done correctly. I had to re add in my syllabus but have done so. I have a sneaky hunch that I have over done the work but I’m trying to error on the side of to much work verses not enough work. Thanks to any and all that take a peak. There are speaking notes at the intro of the presentation and also at the end of each of the presentation slides.

3. Acupuncture Basics
• Acupuncture has helped billions of people over
the last 5,000 years. Acupuncture is the medical
practice of inserting very fine needles into
specific acupuncture points of the body.
• Why Should I?
• Oriental medicine seeks to aid the body in healing
itself.
• Diagnosis are based on symptoms presented by
the patient.
(Laird, 2014, Acupuncture Needle Image).

4. What many think but its not so bad.
(Michalak, 2014, Pin Head Image). (SCMW 2014, Acupuncture Spine Image).

5. Acupuncture Does So Much!

6. How Tiny is An Acupuncture Needle?
(Welker, 2011, Needle Image). (Omni flow, 2012, Needle Size Image).

7. Dr. Magbanua
Body Mapping
Techniques.
Some of the related tissues are as follows:
 Skin treats skin, Bone treats bone, Muscle treats muscle,
Tendon treats tendon.
• The specifics of this technique are based on channel theory
and imagery to locate points.
• Anatomical relationships on the opposite side of the body
are used.
• Needle depth and placement are decided by condition
being treated.
(TCM discovery, 2011).

8. Acupuncture
Meridians
Needle Placement can be in the
channel of the Meridian but
doesn’t have to be exactly
placed. This goes against some
of the teachings in acupuncture
schooling but Dr. Magbanua
technique is now being taught in
seminars locally and around the
world.
Magbanua (2014) states that
Needle placement is also on the
opposite side of the body to help
treat pain. An example, with
low back pain on the right side
the needles were placed on the
left side. Utilizing Meridian
tracks from ones ankles to ones
elbows. Needle depth varied
based off of condition that was
being treated.
(Ronning-Topping, 2014 Meridian Line Image)

9. (2014, image cat acupuncture). (2014, Porcupine Image Above), (A microscopic view of a
replica porcupine quill Karp Lab/PA, Krumboltz, 2012
Hmm, I might Try the Porcupine but not sure about the cat.

10. MYTH: Acupuncture hurts.
FACT: The needles used are so thin and flexible that most people just feel a tiny prick and a
warm feeling in the affected area – if anything at all.
MYTH: You can get diseases from acupuncture.
FACT: Anyone practicing acupuncture in the United States is required to use disposable
needles. So no needle is ever used twice.
MYTH: Needles are stuck into nerves.
FACT: Needles are inserted into muscles. A certified acupuncturist has extensive education
in human anatomy, so he or she knows the safe spots to use needles.
MYTH: Acupuncture only treats pain.
FACT: Acupuncture has been known to treat a host of other problems including insomnia,
fatigue, digestive problems, infertility, inflammation related illnesses and many more.
MYTH: Acupuncturists are not licensed professionals.
FACT: Today, acupuncturists are required to do three to four years of graduate work in
Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they also have to pass national certification exams, Clean
Needle Technique certification, and CPR in order to be licensed by the state (Om Flow,
2012).
Acupuncture Myths & Facts:

11. Take Home Message.
Acupuncture is tolerated by most.
Needles are about the size of a human hair.
Acupuncture has been around for about 5000 years.
Especially helpful for chronic issues:
Pain: Total Body, back, carpel tunnel, sciatic.
Internal Issues: GI Tract like IBS.
Other: asthma
More than one way to do something:
Dr. Magbanua Body Mapping Techniques show that exact
needle placement isn’t always needed and that Bone treats
Bone, Skin / Skin, & Tendon/Tendon.

13. Speaking notes• Slide 1 Speaking Notes; I’d Introduce myself and my history, National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Personal Trainer, Graduate form Kaplan University
Health and Wellness Program. I well teach English has a Second Language and be a Personal Trainer or Life Coach in Rayong, Thailand. There well be a small quiz at the end of
each presentation and hands outs for local resources to receive more information or learn more on a topic.
• Slide 2 Speaking Notes: I’d discuss the origin of Acupuncture, read slide info. Explain why many choose Eastern Medicine Philosophies over Western Medicine Philosophies.
Many people prefer treating the issues versus masking the symptom with pills or pain killers.
• Slide 3 Speaking Notes: Many think the needles are big and they well turn into a monster like Pin head or the Needles well hurt. The needles do not hurt they are small and for
most people you can’t feel them. On occasion a needle depth can cause discomfort but by letting your Dr know they will adjust the needle for your personal comfort.
• Slide 4 Speaking Notes: Discus the three Points and give examples for each category, Pain, Internal, and Other uses. Discuss with audience to see anyone has any of the mention
issues and whether they would try acupuncture.
• Slide 5 Speaking Notes: An Acupuncture needle is about the same size has a human hair and it is flexible. Though it appears scary looking they are not and a skilled
practitioner can place them with no pain. Think the size of a human hair Not a Match Stick, Medical Syringe, or Sewing Needle, Acupuncture Needles are about the size of a
human hair plus it is flexible and penetrates easily and for most pain free. It truly doesn’t hurt!
• Slide 6 Speaking Notes: The specifics of this technique are based on channel theory and imagery to locate the points. This essentially means that when there is a skin condition,
we look for the related area by channel and image, then needle that area, but only to the skin level. If we needled to the bone level, the effectiveness would be less. Typically
working on the left side of the body effects the right side of the body and working on the right side effects the left side of the body. Think of how Right handed people are left
brained and Lefties are in their right mind (some humor has I’m a leftie).
• Slide 7 Speaking Notes: It is a bit different learning these techniques but there is something to them. Dr. Magbanua has been using these techniques for 15 years in the USA and
teaching them for the last 7 years.
• Slide 8 Speaking Notes: A bit of acupuncture humor. Tease about owning a cat and that acupuncture needles are thinner than porcupine needles and they don’t have barbs that
keep them hooked into your skin when you remove them. An interesting side note Researchers have found that porcupine needles contain "microscopic backward-facing
deployable barbs" that enable penetration and "high tissue adhesion." In Plain English, the needles are really good at both breaking the skin and staying in place thanks to the
barbs. The discovery could help those who require long-term IVs and be used for medical treatments that require staples to keep a wound from splitting (Krumboltz, 2012).
• Slide 9 Speaking Notes: Discuss the various Myths and Facts about acupuncture. Once again talk of my many months of treatment and what I experienced good or bad.
• Slide 10 Speaking Notes: Speaking Notes: Read the entire slide Take Home Message Acupuncture is tolerated by most. Needles are about the size of a human hair. Acupuncture
has been around for about 5000 years. Especially helpful for chronic issues: Pain: Total Body, back, carpel tunnel, sciatic. Internal Issues: GI Tract like IBS. Other: asthma.

of the mention issues. Adding fish oil is another tool for their health tool box. So many different possibilities.
Slide 19 Speaking Notes: There are no RDA’s set for fish oil at this time but the American Heart Association recommends 2, 3.5 oz
servings of fish per week. I’d discuss what CHD is Coronary Heart Disease and why fish oil is import for those that have this. I’d crack
a few jokes about DR. Seuss and explain that Dr. Seuss had it correct for saying up to 5 servings of fish weekly, (teasing everyone).
Slide 20 Speaking Notes: Read the slide, let it be known that fish oil can be taken by most people. If taking high does do so only with
medical supervision.

Portion Distortion is a An upward shift in the size and calorie count of a serving of
a particular food served to the general public, especially in fast-food restaurants (The
Free Dictionary, 2014).
Obesity is common, serious and costly, one-third of U.S. adults (34.9%) are obese.
Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain
types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death.
The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008.
Medical cost for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal
weight. (CDC, 2012).
You can’t catch portion distortion like a cold but you can learn to eat to much, One

42. Speaking Notes
• Slide 28 Speaking Notes: Week three Portion Distortion Seminar, I’d Introduce myself and my history, I’m a National Strength and Conditioning
Association Certified Personal Trainer, A recent graduate form Kaplan Universities Health and Wellness Program. I well teach English has a Second
Language and be a Personal Trainer or Life Coach in Rayong, Thailand. I’d go over the slide notes and ask the 4 questions covered on the intro slide.
• Slide 29 Speaking Notes: Portion Distortion goes hand in hand with obesity. Americans are becoming supersized. Other countries are having similar
issues also. Countries That stick to the olden way of eating and avoid fast food stay leaner.
• Slide 30 Speaking Notes: Go over the different points on the slide, point out what we do at the movie theaters with over eating popcorn or drinking 3 sodas
when we should have only one soda.
• Slide 31 Speaking Notes: I would point out the up word trend of obesity in America. All this has happened in the last 25 to 30 years. I would also add the
side note that many countries with fast food restaurants are having similar issues around the world. Portion Distortion goes hand in hand with obesity.
Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are obese: 35.1% (2011-2012) Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are overweight, including obesity:
69.0% (2011-2012) Percent of adolescents age 12-19 years who are obese: 18.4% (2009-2010) Percent of children age 6-11 years who are obese: 18.0%
(2009-2010) Percent of children age 2-5 years who are obese: 12.1% (2009-2010)
• Slide 32 Speaking Notes: A bit of humor, noting that we are what we eat or perhaps we become what we eat. Need to get back to exercising or hunting
and gathering are food.
• Slide 33 speaking notes: From less than 9% to greater than 45%. For a guy 12 to 18% body comp. is a typical or healthy range, for a woman 18% to 24%
would work. I would ask were people felt they fell in. I would also point out that you could be over muscled and be considered obese if using a BMI
scale.
• Slide 34 speaking Notes; I would discuss how Americas waist line is expanding due to Portion distortion. I would also explain that this is happening
around the world and there is a strong correlation to eating out to much or eating at fast food restaurants. I would answer questions on Portion sizes.
• Slide 35 Speaking Notes: Do you want to walk for one hour and forty minutes, for your Big Mac? A moment on the lips a life time on the hips.
• Slide 36 Speaking Notes: Speaking Notes slide 35: How Much should you eat. I would hold up various house hold objects so that people could see a
proper serving size. The hands on portion size demo allows many to get a great visual for what actual serving sizes. Most people are shocked when they
see they only get a small scoop up pasta since the Olive Garden, or Spaghetti Warehouse offer never ending pasta plates or dishes and one could eat a
weeks worth of food in one meal with left overs for later.
• Slide 37 Speaking Notes: You can use your hand size to determine how much to eat. I would demo this and have audience members show me their fist
size. I would then go into a store of Eating with balance and eating about a handful size of protein and carbs at most meals. I would demo this with my fist
size and say that you should eat to about your own fist size, I’d crack a joke: bummer if you have small hands.
• Slide 38 Speaking Notes: I would give this image to the class and have them answer which one had the most food. Then I’d ask them why they answered
the way they did. Most answer the smallest plate. If you fool your eyes you fool your tummy. All three have the same amount of food but by switching to
smaller plates you can trick your mind into thinking it has eaten more.
• Slide 39 Speaking Notes: Like everyone in the world it is nice to eat out but the best trick anyone can do is split a meal with a love one or eat half now and
eat half later. Many restaurants well split your order to two plates or put half in a to go bag.
