Dud Studs:
Treating the couple
HEATHER BRUCE
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

Does he
REALLY
want to be
a dad?

Pre ICSI
 Bne 1986, Shane, 24 TTGP 7 years – only pus and dead
bits of sperm after a massive testicular infection 8 years
before.
 Within two weeks she was pregnant – both of them 3
sessions/week. (I was only out of my own maternity leave for
this time)
 Massive 8 extras clearance, with lymphatic drainage, moxa
on needles and Western herbs, dietary advice and
supplements.
 (She had been previously on Chlomed massive doses, on
the off-chance a live sperm found its way in - & her life
horror after in the past decades as a result of this

Pre ICSI
 Bne 1987. Bryan, Fireman. 30 only 1 million sperm –
down from 5 million which made his 6 year old.
 Donor sperm had not worked in IVF latest round (had
to be at least 30% looking normal – but he had not
enough to use even).
 Had been to another acupuncturist – seemed to be just
building Ki points – so I used my usual moving
blockages approach – one session initially weekly till
his health was improved, then fortnightly – within 4
months - sperm had improved enough for him to
continue baby making naturally at home. .

Pre ICSI - Shane
 Bne 1996
 Moved up from Sydney, where they would not accept his
sperm as too damaged (when 30% was pass mark).
 A year working with him only – then they went back to
Sydney, different IVF clinic – no questions asked as he was
easily well over the expected levels, and she was then easily
pregnant on IVF.
 (His father was a waste empire person, so he had spent his
youth in garbage and heavy metal contamination).

Brenton
 Bne 2014 27 yo,
 2 rods in his back when 15yo, as severe scoliosis
 Varicocele repaired 18 months ago – but still infertile.
 Took Western herbs and some supplements – no idea
results as the abnormals in last few were missing.
 (Count - less than 1 million/ml)
 Somewhere between 6 - 10% normal looking.
 No sperm defragmentation test done.

Compare with Kevin
 Bne 2013/4 39 yo TTGP 8 years – all natural therapists, IVF did not work.
 Mild CP from birth injury, adopted out after first 6 months in Irish orphanage.
 Is now in a much better condition, BUT BBT still 36.2 and
 She (45) has significant PCOS issues and is well now – as opposed to all
other natural therapists focusing on fertility for both.
 He is resistant to all changes, still smoking, sometimes taking herbs,
supplements, invariably not showing up for appointments.
 Getting very angry with me in sessions, very stressed at work and taking it out
on her – (not growing into being a dad-to-be).

Questions to start
 Do you see ‘qualified’ patients?
 Qi – flow through all meridians as designed?
 Blood – is it blocked - small veins?
 Heart – are they open to change?
 Sexuality – is it easy and fun?
 Relating – are they ‘on same page’?
(Or are your seeing one of the not-parents only?

All farmers know . .
 Get the best stud possible
 Keep the breeding stock well fed and watered
 In the best condition prior to mating
 if carrying multiples – need supplementation
 As few stressors as possible give the best results
 All know to not get in between a just birthed mammal
and her offspring

An elder, noticing changes
 In my time in clinic I have seen increasingly in patients:
1) – Disempowerment and inability to think independently
2) - A loss of common sense across all human life (“What does
‘research’ show?”)
3) – A stunning lack of relationship cause to effect
4) – ‘What is in it for me?” Take hold
5) - Instant gratification being the sole driver – no thought or
care for what follows – esp in reproduction

Tribal wisdoms

Why are we here?
 Depends on your culture as to what story pops up
 Biologically – to reproduce – the bottom circle.
 Karmically/spiritually - to experience
 ‘Our’ culture – depends on what religious creed as to
what you think.
 All have tribes of inclusion/exclusion.
 All run by commonality of beliefs. .

www.sharpen-up-your-results.com NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

What is a ‘body’?

Understanding being human

What is a person?

The personality thinks it ‘is’ all

Further questions . .
 What brought YOU into this style of healing
 What are you comfortable with?
 What part of the person are you working as?
 What part are they engaged with you/here as?
 Where do you work from?
 What is the point of consciousness that allows the most
change in a session – or in life?

We ‘want’ . . .

What is health?
 Ability to adapt to change
 All made slightly different (hence meiosis – sexual
division - not mitosis) – so when conditions change,
some will survive ..
 BUT with all the alterations – esp. with vaccinations
and thus inserted/embedded debris – maybe not ..

What does disease teach?
 Breeching of homeostasis
 A need to return to balance
 Suffering .. .
 Relieved through acceptance

Specifically in reproduction
 Experts no longer seem to see the obvious – it takes two to
make a baby) (Henry VIII th phenomena)
 Leaving well alone gives the best results.
 (What used to work still does)
 No improvements in health outcomes past a great deal of $$
made and a fear of trusting self and nature
 It takes a village, and an intact culture to rear a well adjusted
adult, with a sense of purpose and belonging

How Jing Manifests

Where does Jing come from?
 Parents
 Their parents
 Post natally – made well (10% of babies born in Bne
are preterm). (WHY?)
 Orderliness and security of life
 Good ingredients, potential allowed to express –
epigenetics.
 Early life regularity/sense of calm and safety.

In East Asian medicine
 In the West, a loss of perspective – health?
 Disease management is sooo much more profitable though . .
 As Dr John Shen always said – always follow life.
 Instead – those with a perceived science and past medical status
being validated as though that gives them advantage.
 Journals with medically trained specialists - physios and their
versions; midwives and theirs; scientists and GP’s; theirs - where
is the pure energy work, and heart, and soul being taken as the
real gold standard?

Examples of what I mean
 Dr Hammer in his pulse work – leaves out what underpins all the
work - Dr Shen’s system’s model. (Also Dr Shen’s work on what
breaks a human – in all stages)
 No mention of the Bao Mai connection and how we are all
creatures with heart and soul in pregnancy texts geared for
medicos (need to get away from us being ‘woo woo’ . . . . .)
1. Texts missing normal, especially foundation of life
2. How to make a great baby and what is needed of mum prior to
conception
3. Dad’s bad sperm and what comes next – implantation failures,
miscarriages, dud babies and a lot of heart-break - then he walks.

It is all about him
 Fertility is a measure of health - all farmers know this.
 BBT? Rectal – see past P/P
 Early life – was it stable/moderate/respectful?
 Breeding history – what about lineage/exposure to fetal and
environmental toxins?
 His body – made well?
Accidents?
 Drugs/modern life impacts

Are they even
at the same
point in their
lives?

The Great Sperm Race

Mum can’t get dad over the
baby line without his help
 In my 35 years of working in fertility/obstetrics . .
 No failures – except – when lack of patience and my not seeing
him. He holds the baby key.
 Hence – I have a stack of infertile results – with only a handful of
‘good’ ones in all that time.
 (Where are the unfortunate partners to the women who are too fat,
too thin, too neurotic, too end, too old etc?
 All are dads – as one gets the one pregnant.
 BUT the men are no longer good enough to just treat her.

Sperm free fall
 1980’s – had to be at least 80.5% visually normal looking – one
head, one tail and a rounded head of on it – to be considered the
LEAST fertile.
 1990’s - dropped to 50%
 1996 – dropped to 30%
 2000’s – dropped to 14/5%
 2010 – dropped to where ICSI can potentially help – anything
over 3%.
These figures are the bottom dwellers - not to be aspired to.
DNA fragmentation Is not measured by these tests.

Recent dwindling possibilities
 Bne 2014 David 3 IVF attempts with 15 normal – most 2
headed and 2 tailed (Why??) and only 3 million per ml.
 No one mentioned what he could do to help become a dad.
He has also roseacea, high BP (on medication), reflux, IBS,
hot feet and is a very hot sleeper at night.
 This is all by 28 yo!!
One hour’s cross fit exercise every day.
 Rectal BBT 36.1 C.
 No Sperm defragmentation test done.

Why we need good sperm
 250 million start out . .
 Few left after ejaculation, getting through the cervix and
the ambush awaiting there - esp with immune system
to attack sperm
 Must find the Fallopian tube entrance.
 Go through there (maybe 20 left)
 Fight to fertilise (maybe just 2 left)

Fallopian tube

Perhaps
ponder

Assume all want same
outcome
 IVF clinics are now listed on the Stock Market.
 I watch patently unwell, couples desperate, seduced by
marketing, and false hopes, with no inherent idea of what
makes a well pregnancy or baby .
 I watch acupuncturists treat only the wrong person.
 Believing the 4% (or 15% looking ‘normal’ until Oct 2010)
will be good enough to make babies.
 Where is the survival of the fittest?

Just how good is good
enough?
 So we pretend it is all done in a petrie dish . .
 Do we know if the medium used is inert, or going to
create genes going on and off when not appropriate –
in the offspring of the offspring?
 All the checks to ensure this sperm can make it – have
we removed them at our peril?
 Is good enough really good enough?

Not just Chinese herbs
 Rajish came in with his wife. He had two sperm tests – two
years apart. The first showed 10 million /ml and 5% normal
forms. The second was 50 million /ml and 80% normal
forms.
 The difference? Ayurvedic herbs from his uncle, when he
went home to India for a while.
 Paul – stopped all coffee, drank only water and ate more
protein – and accidentally they are pregnant with No 2.
 He was 9 years TTGP with first wife, who was pregnant
easily 6 months after leaving him.

Minutes from conception

Capacitation – fuel?
 Ki Qi??/Liver Qi?
 Sperm must swim in highly viscous fluids.
 They do so by propagating waves
 Fuelled by ???
 Ki yang/Liver Qi . . .
 All designed to weed out those that can’t do it well.
 Survival of the fortunate does not equate with vibrancy.

ICSI

So if it is done in a dish . .
 No quality control .. . Do they get capacitation going?
 ICSI – apparently visually perfect may have no chance . .
Those babies more likely to be ‘no good’ ..
 IVF scientists said – at least 60% now embedded were
chromosomally damaged.
 Prior to the pesticide/radiation/toxicity crisis – all I worked on
did not miscarry . . . (Pre 30 years ago)
 Now - why would you try to stop a miscarriage?

Only one winner

Baby Ingredients
 Conscious intention at this point in the planet’s life
 Clean environment to allow normal to thrive
 Good sperm
 Good eggs
 Great garden for planting (soil, weather conditions)
 Nutrition and safety in gestation

Acrosomes
 Sydney patient – at present just Skype - 33 years old -
100%of his sperm have acrosome damage.
 No normal forms.
 Also – leaks prior to all urination (Urge incontinence)
 Has done for at least 10 years.
 Has apparently no trouble with his health . . BBT 36.6!
 Yet to see him – she also has problems . . No point IVF

Ideally
 Sperm quantity - should be 200-300 million/ml
 Sperm quality – (morphology) should be at least 90%
NORMAL looking (now the bar is over 3% or 4% - down
from 15% in 2010 and from 30% in early 2000’s and 50%
from 1990’s and 80.5% in 1980)
 Motility – most rapidly swimming in a forwards direction . .
 DNA intactness – quality measure – (no good just having
one head and one tail of normal appearance) at least get the
DNA fragmentation test done .as an extra so you can all see
where it has been initially.

These figures may seem odd
 They are what was normal and are now not.
 (Unless he is creating miscarriage through his caffeine
habits .. Melissa’s man – even his own mum wondered).
 He tested 46% normal looking and 346 million/ml . .
 And 4 miscarriages and no sex for 8 months, as she does
not want another miscarriage and the GP says - ‘go to IVF’ .
. (so she can lose two or three at once??)
 After 4 ½ months both off caffeine, she instantly conceived
and held onto this baby.

Normal digestion
 Dependent upon the TH system to not be broken.
 Good gut flora itself dependent upon food in, metabolism
(Yang QI) working well –low thyroid info) and a happy
disposition – with few toxins cellular or situational.
 Need micro and macro minerals to allow the ‘hormones’ –
esp thyroid to function.
 The gut should support life of mum and her fetus, if no cold,
or anger is stored, (esp in the form of gall bladder
heat/stones/resentment) and the gut flora are well.

Digestion – what should
happen

3 sons - 10 years before
 2008 - International pilot, 42.
 Vasectomy reversed. Apparently all ‘her’ fault.
 5 miscarriages - she just turned 40 – and her age is seen as
why the losses are all at 6 weeks 3 days each . .
 GP would not test him – ‘no need to test sperm as she is
getting pregnant – must be bad eggs – too old’ . .
 Until testing showed only 5% of his sperm were normal and
there were only 11 million of them.
 She was diligently (at 40!!) conceiving to lose every month,
as his sperm were just no good.

IVF even did not work
 Acup and herbs/supplements /life changes improved visual sperm quality
significantly - - then they went to IVF.
 Got 20 eggs – all fertilised.
 What had happened to him in the interim? (Between 3 sons and now?)
More radiation than optimal?
More life stress?
 Please do not assume it is her . . Age or state of health – as it looks as though
the modern world is out to kill off the men . .
 She was in a perfect state of health - especially after all the work put in to
make her Blood energy perfect.
 Embryos made were all genetically not good.

Not starting from the
beginning
 Need a steady place to grow baby – in the world,
society, couple relationship, mum’s body
 Sex is to make babies
 Healthy means fertile.
 All stock breeders know this.
 A mix of parental stock and good nutrition/low stress.
 Nothing blocking winning ‘The Great Sperm Race’ . .

Common story
 She is looking for baby #2
 42, grossly overweight, grateful I am seeing her.
 Told she is ‘too fat’ and ‘too old’.
 Also he has ‘super sperm’
 BUT . .

Extra problems. . .
 Retroverted uterus – and they have been avoiding their
favourite position – which was in effect great contraception –
as they needed to be using deep rear penetration.
 Were using saliva as lube as she as always dry (digesting
the sperm)
 Neither were able to sleep as baby had renal reflux.
 Their house was always being broken into as it looked totally
wrecked from outside (EQ in Chch problem).
 Sperm were only 18% looking normal anyway . .

Apparently ‘need’ donor eggs
 Chch 2010 – (31 yo) Found a donor – came to see about her
health post implantation – I said - need better sperm.
 Supposedly he had ‘super sperm’ quality according to her IVF
doctor. (20% only).
 Suggested she made large food changes, took a few vitamins, laid
them out for him (his sperm to be used) and some sexual
adjustments when they were about 3 months into new foods/no
caffeine.
 Donor cycle did not work, but she was naturally pregnant after a
holiday and was sure that the change to deep rear penetration
worked!!

Donor eggs *2
 Brisbane, 2007 M, 31, been on IVF for 5 years – first cycle
a miscarriage and nothing since then.
 Apparently ‘need’ donor eggs but they have run out of $
 20 kg overweight, lost a tube to IVF, felt literally mad; not like
‘herself’ for years.
 One year later, coming to me I spotted his dodgy sperm (50
million, 15 % normal) after only drinking soft drink, having a
headache daily, tongue said it all first time I saw him – so he
was the focus in food/exercise changes – think patchy
yellow coating with cracks . .

Patience needed for repair
 Once $5,000 worth of patch-her-up surgery post IVF was
done, they had no more money.
 Went off to continue good eating, living well, with her
gradually still losing weight, both feeling fantastic
 Naturally pregnant after repairing from the medical madness
(IVF is not the first place to start – healthy parents-to-be is).
 She had Factor Five Leiden, and the IVF doctor did not
speak of pregnancy likely complications with her.

BIRTH OF A ? ROSE?

Sperm any good?
 No one is testing for caffeine
 SOME one is going through all the ‘Red Bull’, ‘Mother’, ‘V’
and coffee and all that coke.
 Brisbane 2007 - Mike – and his wife did not want needles –
just advice.
 He was drinking 10 cups of decaffeinated coffee a day (‘but
it is alright it – is ‘decafe’)
 Off this and on vitamins, ecstatically pregnant 6 weeks later,
lost it and then two in 14 months accidentally – caffeine was
finally out of his system)

Toxins
 Go to www.ourstolenfuture.org
 Look up ‘body burden’
 Read ‘Slow Death by Rubber Duck’/’Toxin Toxout’
 Remember ‘The Silent Spring’
 Look around – Roundup, Wifi, phone in pocket, dirty
electricity, halides, heavy metals and all toxic residue
the rain rains down through, leaving its load in the soil
to be growing our food.

Hormonal ‘mud-map’

What tends to block nutrient
assimilation/life

Melbourne 2014
 All women I saw on the locum were with men with under 5%
normal looking sperm - yet all were told that they needed
donor eggs.
 None were informed that their men were really infertile.
 All thought it was their age (three were over 40): all with
remarkably stressful lives. Thin, ‘neurotic’/Blood def
 One had husband as a diesel mechanic, one dealt in new
cars and smoked, all were sure it was them alone stopping
babies. (often PCOS, no period/stressed)

Treatment Strategies
 Animal breeders and farmers start with great stock.
 Patience and self discovery grows the inner person,
who will be a better parent.
 Get rid of what is clogging up the system, to allow
nature to reassert itself.
 How can we help nature to make the best baby with
the strongest Jing possible? (Not just any old baby -
the apparently fastest way).

50% to 95% in 2 months
Bne 2007
 100 million/ml to 225 million/ml
 How?
Life changes back to as near as 30 years ago as
possible.
 No ‘treatment’ – just more conscious living,
 Drinking only water, eating only protein, fat and 4
++cups veggies daily: no gadgets after 7pm, bed
asleep by 9pm, a lot of exercise.

Men’s issues
Warm feet - at night/often sleeping hot (often years)
 Low basal temp – often 35.5 – most under or just in 36
C – in a ‘straw poll’, in 2006, only one of 27 has normal
– 36.8 – usually a man with a partner not pregnant is
not even 36.6!!!
 Cool to touch penis – when erect
 Gut issues – either active IBS/reflux or easily seen by
looking at the mess on his tongue . .
 Exercise/lifestyle – usually sedentary & toxic.

Her Jing Markers
 Hair – flower of the kidneys
 Nails – and red start to periods – (and hair) blood quality
and liver blood esp.
 Sleep – blood nourishing Shen & peaceful ? Amount of
Liver Stuck
 Vaginal Lub – estrogen/Ki yin/jing
 Libido – myriad – incl. Ki yang
 Teeth – Jing/Ki/aging sign (gift horse in mouth. . . . )

Straw poll of 28 current (2006)
women fertility patients
21 - Hair issues/falling – often in clumps
14 – Hot Feet - at night, so out of covers
12 – Low/absent libido (not all asked)
12 – Low/no VAGINAL LUBRICATION (not same as
above always)
9 - Fingernails – poor quality, slow growing
12 – Grinding of teeth/very disturbed sleeping
9 – Brown beginning to period

Sacred foods
 All traditional societies ensured the health of the true
through keeping all in good condition as could afford to.
 No vegetarians – all need to eat organs and all ‘cheap’ parts
(non muscle is best).
 ‘The Nourishing Traditions of Baby and Child Care’ – Sally
Fallon Morel and Thomas Cohen cover it well.
 Variety, colour, moderation, nutrient dense
 Fat and sun needed for mineral absorption

Supplements
 Vit C - at least 15 gms daily – initially to assist detox of
liver and addicted substances -maybe drop to
reasonable levels – then at least 5 gm still
 E and Selenium added
 Need B complex, magnesium esp topically
 Glutathione – esp useful – ingredients – far more
deeply coloured veggies - and sulphurous ones (kale,
brussels’ sprouts, garlic, eggs)
 Read ‘Research into Improving Sperm Quality’ eBook

1 - Clear out what is not
supposed to be there
 Trauma, esp stopping digestive processes
 Old stories – behaviors/habits sitting upon their
hearts and souls
 All non nutritive ingestibles
 Toxins held within fat cells - use liquid activated
zeolites to safely remove. What is blocking life?
 All heat sources - and technological equipment that
is frying sperm generating cells.

2 - Add in what is critical
 Water - pure and lots of it – non chilled
 Fat – as the basis of all hormones and sperm
 Protein – as the body’s building block
 Mineral and vitamins – in the form of varied,
extensive plants and nuts/seeds
 Traditionally based diets – all ate omnivorously
and all of the animal - as the bone broths and organ
meats hold the keys to human health and vitality.

Still may not be enough . .
 In the 1970’s – just needed to treat her – for ??? a few
sessions and she was pregnant. (He was naturally
fertile - no huge reservoir ofchemical toxins, Wi fi,
phones in pockets, caffeine.
 In the 80’s – some vitamins and still just her.
 In 90’s – minerals added in. Men appear (no ICSI).
 2000 - herbs added. Easy – esp with both on board.
 2010 – when 4% was ‘good enough’ . .

Sleep/exercise (in sun & fresh
air)

 ’Common sense’ . . . What all grandparents would say
 Includes feeling safe – this may cycle back to 1) –
above
 Rest and regeneration away from all electrical and
lighting circuitry – esp no Wifi, electronics, or new phones
switched on near sleeping area.
 Sleep - at least 7 hours preferably more and before10 pm
– preferably before 9pm.
 This is a major cause of the BBT /thyroid/adrenal collapse
as all are then using their ‘free’ time to entertain
themselves, instead of restructuring the day light-hours.

3) continued – common sense
 Sunlight – vital for health – and Vit D levels to be topped
up with supplements initially to be at the top range of
‘normal’ – as all hormones and life depend upon its
existence. (aim for at lest 100nm/l)
 Physical exercise - at least an hour daily – with at least
half of this as cardio to ensure all circulation is able to
move and the oxygenation so very important for life is
happening – outside in fresh air.
 Standing and moving all day – not sitting – if a
‘desk’/computer job – standing desk – not bunching up
the pelvic area as it needs to be free flowing and the
scrotal area needs to be cool and well ventilated.

4 – Couples at play
Touching/clearing massage, moxa, bonding activities,
way more sexual expression
 At least half an hour of touching daily – non sexual.
(This will increase the couple bonding and oxytocin
thus hormonal levels to enable the ‘feel good’
mechanisms to turn on baby making activities).
 Even living in the same place helps .. (FI/FO)

Home moxa
 Instructions in ‘What Dads Can Do’ DVD
 and also online – www.simple-natural-solutions.com.au
 Moxa – Bl 23., GV 3, 4 and CV 4, 6, St 36 – as all will
enhance the production for better Jing . .and of course ramp
up the Ki Yang to allow sexual expression and the increased
sperm production -
 Placental enhancement also – pelvic circulation to be
boosted.

Home play
 Massage techniques as per WDCD work – and the moxa first
as it moves and warms and lets the obstructions clear ahead of
the massage so it is far less painful/more enjoyable – and gives
the boost to the sometimes flagging Kidney Qi that needs to be
there for all aspects of sexuality and reproductive vigour.
 Prostatic drainage (see below) – easily done - at last weekly
and more if there is significant pain and blockage in the pelvic
region – as discovered when doing this work. When it is not
painful – and drop it to monthly – as long as the testicular
function is normal – if not – keep going at least weekly till it is.

What we add into the mix
Support above
 1 – Why? (Jing markers /TH/inner duct info)
 2 - BBT – Yang measure – ad thus gut/allergies/auto
immune and blood stagnation
 3 - Undoing what is blocked – scars, old trauma
 4 - Direct them to lifestyle issues that have been
missed
 5 - Dietary changes - as in nutrient dense

Questions .. .
Look at what makes good periods/eggs/sperm
 What does Ki yang mean in sexuality?
 Why is ‘normal’ not happening?
 Look to male BBT – is it rectally 36.6/8 initially in am?
See www.easybabies.com.au
 What needs to be cleared out before a new project
(baby) can be started? (Do we build a new house before
cleaning out the block? Why think it appropriate with
making a baby?)

Until recently . .
 No men without babies and having a normal temperature . .
Was my ‘gold standard’ . .
 Now there is so much toxicity – phthlates?
 Dirty electricity? Wifi? Phones in pockets?
 Pesticide and chemical residue?
 Accumulation of distress on every level giving mixed signals
 Who really knows?

Undo what is stopping nature
working
1 - Microclimates - removing lurking cold
2 – Unblock meridians – scars/bleed veins
3 - Using massage with acupuncture to improve outcomes
Jing markers/ fertility prognosis (foundations of lifelong
health ) measured through YANG – BBT
He holds the future in his family jewels

MICROCLIMATES?
Past the rectal BBT,
Palpation will direct you.
Returning to our medicine and energy we will again be
empowered as healers.
Where did we forget that the body has ENERGY and it can flow
or stagnate?
From there – all PHYSICAL blockages eventually become
named /medical conditions.

What Does Yang Do?
 Digestive fire – needs to be protected to provide life
 Thyroid (BBT) and other metabolic issues
 Circulation and eventual degenerative changes if
damaged.
 All aspects of Spleen Qi holding
 Immune/lung Qi strength
 Reproductive & sexual ‘oomph’
 Fluid transformation

COLD – BE GONE!!!
AREAS TO LOOK
Upper back
Belly
Hands & feet/
bum at night/
general chilliness
REMOVAL METHOD
Scraping & cupping
Cup navel /then moxa on
ginger/salt
General navel cupping with
possible back work

Getting Stuck Blood to move
 Bleeding little veins ..
 Massive results all through body – not just instant
comfort ..

Likely results
 What I have seen happen so far
 Instant suppleness of the joint
 Headaches/stuffy head/sinuses cleared
 Sense of lightness in the legs
 Cleared whites of eyes
 Veins in other foot disappear so I can’t bleed them
 Leg/shoulder joint pain/stiffness remove
 All Stuck Blood eased all through body

In women
 Get them to pull up vaginal muscles, then start on the inner
thigh/Sp channel broken veins – the smallest possible.
 Any change will impact on how they feel.
 The tongue may not change – but their sensation of being in
their body will.
 Pregnancy – essential to work on these – see all the
pregnancy work for the AACMAC 2014 on www.sharpen-up-
your-results.com

Why/how?
 Bleeding the congestion in the Luo releases the Qiao
 What do the Qiao vessels do again?
 Yang – provide circulation from the head/eyes
 Yin – to the head and eyes
 Brain – all matters
 Lateral body, esp joints
 (Includes here all seizure/brain storm activity)
 Likely clearing potential/future stroke activity

Plus
 Cosmetic – they are gone!!!!
 Must have been hydrated before bleeding happens
 Not on a new moon or day before or after
 (MOON PHASES run the water on the earth and in the
body - also the energy flows).
 Acupuncture is energy medicine and ALCHEMY

Using Massage To
Enhance Acupuncture
Outcomes

Why?
 My personal practical positive
 Is more effective and less painful than strong needle
stimulation
 Allows the time to RELATE with the patient and for
them to feel cared for – and to calm down (we ARE
primates)
 It works!!!!!! (Results = ’evidence’ based)

Protocol
 Moxa on sacrum to loosen the yang
 Stuck Liver Qi – bra line area
 Sacral/pelvic opening
 Upper lymphatic drainage
 Lower lymphatic
 Prostatic drainage if male
Incorporate needles as required – I usually intersperse
massage as I go (see articles on sharpen–up site)

Prostate Work
 Actually invaluable for prostate health
 Fertility – esp assisting varicosele and other physical
damage (think stray hits to genitals over a lifetime)
 Cardiac clearance – frees upper heater
 Often frees up the lower back issues
 Allows all meridians free movement – all associated
with Liver/emotional /sexuality

Prostatic Drainage Protocol
1. Cup cold from navel if belly cool
2. Massage sacral area after sacral moxa
3. Attend to any relevant scarring (blocking channel flow)
4. Needle Bl sacral points and all other relevant – Shen
calming etc . .
5. Master Points and belly moxa on needles
6. Possibly upper lymphatic THEN this . . .

Most Men
 Prostatic drainage
 Find this extremely uncomfortable
 Reassure them that it will not be this bad again.
 Use all the moxa and needles first as it softens the pain
and maximises positive effects.
 Find the left side worse, so do the right first.
 Often feel a lot taller immediately after

Master Points to Palpate
In all – use the area, not specific location for point as in texts
 Sp 4 – MP Chong (deobstructor meridian)
 GB 41 – MP Dai Mai – girdle meridian
 Ki 8 – Xi Cleft Yin Qiao
 Sp 8 – Xi cleft Sp meridian
 Cv 2 – local
 Pc 1 – Mu of Pericardium (experience point – also ‘Kidney
Yang’ measure)

Baby Making
 Where would we expect a builder to start the new project –
on the empty block of land, or ON TOP of the derelict
building?
 To make good sperm – with what is left over from living a life
– need the gut and the yang to be strong.
 Why do we at least not clear the space (have normal
menstruation = good Qi and Blood circulation and
production BEFORE attempting to make a new person with
the old goods?

Simple!!!!!
 Get rid of what is clogging up the system, to allow nature to
reassert itself.
 In any area – often is in expectations, and even not really
being committed to the one who is presently partnering.
 Look to life – vets and farmers - no farmer would choose
any old stud – needs more than a penis.
 Patience and self discovery grows the inner person, who will
be a better parent

Usual couples
 Of the 20 I have currently seeing me (note couples)

had 7%)

baby with any of these men.

Nature
rules

Must do their home play
 This young couple totally committed to making babies as the
only way of married life.
 Having only miscarriages, less than 1% normal looking
sperm, IVF was not an option – left with helping themselves
via nature.
 After a year of diligent homework – she was pregnant with a
son, born 6 months ago.
 Many times weekly moxa and prostatic drainage session for
him.

Too young to not have babies
 He at 17, has had many health challenges, some survival
ones – at his own birth.
 She at 20, has had her own major Jing depletion from early
life.
 5 miscarriages so far
 Family history (him) – several brothers have malformed
apparatus, he had testicle problems not picked up without
palpation (no one did – just said go to IVF).

At 16 ½ years old!!
 Mother had 11 – first birth twins. 2 years between.
 He was born dead, blue.
 Mumps at 8 yo.
 Bad hits to testicles a few times growing up.
 One testicle very different – now better with
supplements
 Hot feet at night.

Can it be this simple?
Is the easiest condition.
 Restore health and fertility
 BUT – still may need toxins out ..
 Replenish the middle heater and allow natural to flow
 Can see what is happening - they are so time poor
 Not relating
 Gratitude needed for what they have.

Him
 Rectal BBT too low – 35.9 – 36.2
 S/t heart burn.
 In growing toenails.

No idea of morphology as NZ no longer tests for this. 88%
are alive (at least!!).
 So far 5 miscarriages.

so possibly not much left over for him.

sexual prowess, is likely to lose control of bladder.

teenager, and no with falling hair and poor nails.

Need to put them back

and Heat then to build up the Kidney Qi/Yang/Jing

more Vit D and C small amounts often)
