About True Acupuncture

While True Acupuncture is primarily concerned with diagnosing and treating the “root” condition it is natural that any practitioner develop more expertise in certain areas, though True Acupuncture treats the individual holistically. You can read more about this style at the True Acupuncture web site and here.

About Facilitated Conscious Change

This is a “mental health” technique developed by Charles Strodtbeck to deal with the subconscious mind and it’s role in health, happiness, and life in general. Several techniques and theories are utilized in FCC to bring about true conscious change. This technique is not “talk therapy” and it works amazingly fast eliminating fears, phobias, addictions, changing self perceptions, and bringing about a real change in the way you think, feel, and behave.

Pain Relief & Pain Management in Parker & Lone Tree

The treatment of pain can be broken down into two main categories, pain management and pain relief. First, let’s look at both utilizing acupuncture and then we’ll turn our attentions to Facilitated Conscious Change (FCC) and the treatment of pain. [. . .]

What is FCC?

Facilitated Conscious Change (FCC) is an unique therapy that treats at the highest level, the level of mind. It not only releases the mental causes to illness and emotional imbalances, but facilitates a true change in your conscious state of being, giving new direction to your life (read The Value of Facilitated Conscious Change). This is done by releasing, literally within seconds, the attachment or “energy stagnation” associated with any idea at the level of mind.

You will be able to feel the difference in your state of being immediately. Not only does Facilitated Conscious Change remove the negative attachments to an idea, it allows all energies at the highest level of mind to flow freely while a given idea is held in mind. As a result, you release the negative and find yourself in a very positive state of “free flowing energy,” often described as “being wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket,” thus signifying a “true clearing.” [. . .]

Treating menopause and the symptoms of menopause with acupuncture

The basic underlying component to menopause symptoms is generally a dysfunction with the endocrine system. Many may not know that acupuncture can directly adjust the endocrine system and bring it back into a homeostatic state very quickly and easily.

A good definition of internal medicine is, “specialties of medicine which includes prevention, diagnosis, and care of adults with general illness, disease and injury.” In general internal medicine refers to the “non-surgical” treatment of illness. Even though it isn’t used often with acupuncture, it should be. True Acupuncture is, in my opinion, the best non-surgical medical treatment modality available today.

Acupuncture & Alternative Medicine

In China acupuncture is used in conjunction with Western Medicine; however, the style of acupuncture generally used in hospitals in China is local and/or local distal treatments and not True Acupuncture, thus modern acupuncture is seen more as a treatment modality for pain than anything else.

This is what is generally taught in Traditional Chinese Medicine schools in the United States; however, I’ve found that True Acupuncture goes far beyond this. It has a profound ability to correct functions of systems that have lost homeostasis.

Controlling weight with acupuncture and Facilitated Conscious Change

Weight gain is a very complicated conditions. There can be numerous causes to a person’s sudden weight gain: mental or emotional, physiological, dietary, exercise, endocrine, and a rarely understood components of evolutionary protection. I will take each of these components and discuss how acupuncture and FCC can address the causes to help you with yourweight loss.

The treatment of skin with acupuncture & alternative medicine

During my training in Traditional Chinese Medicine I consistently heard that acupuncture could not treat skin conditions very well and that herbs were needed; however, upon studying Morant’s True Acupuncture and applying it I found that skin conditions were one of the easiest conditions to treat with acupuncture. In facts, skin conditions such as eczema, rashes, carbuncles, furuncles, and acne responded very well to acupuncture. Sine that time I have treated numerous types of skin conditions with great success and many times on myself. Let’s take a look at some of the more common skin conditions and their causes according to True Acupuncture theory.

Eczema

Throughout my journey in the health care field, I’ve not only studied numerous modalities and techniques but I have been treated by practitioners from numerous modalities: allopathic, homeopathic, osteopathic, acupuncture, herbal, energety healers of all types, and other complementary therapies. During this time, I came to realize that regardless of the practitioner, most therapies did little if anything to benefit me as the patient. Owing to the lack of results that I saw and received, I began my search to understand why this was the case. [. . .]

Charles’ long winding journey. . .

In 1995, after dedicating more than ten years working with a major airline, Charles decided to pursue a career in the health care industry. At first glance, Naturopathic Medicine seemed a perfect fit and he began with undergraduate studies in psychology at the University of Arizona.

During this time, however, Charles’ health took a serious turn as he developed chronic fatigue and serious kidney problems. Charles sought help from one of the top graduates from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, but little if any benefit was attained. Assuming that it was just the practitioner and not the medicine, Charles kept his sight on Naturopathic Medicine, although he began seeing an acupuncturist in Tucson.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncturist had studied in and was from China, and the treatments were very intense while the same points were treated every single time with extremely strong stimulation. (please go here to read more about “True Acupuncture”) After a number of treatments without any benefit Charles decided to work on his heath by himself.

Charles’ next move brought him to the Seattle area where he attended Bastyr University of Naturopathic Medicine. Unfortunately, Charles quickly became dismayed with Naturopathic Medicine; during his first year of study, Charles had numerous treatments at Bastyr’s clinic and with Naturopathic Doctors in the area and found that the diagnostic and treatment methods used were inadequate. Consequently Charles began consulting a fellow student’s father who practiced Chinese herbology.

For the first time since the beginning of his illness, Charles saw an improvement in his health. This positive experience with Chinese Herbal Medicine, combined with his overall disappointment with and unsatisfactory education at Bastyr University, and the consensus amongst senior students and graduates to avoid the Naturopathic route if they could do it all over again, solidified Charles’ decision to leave Bastyr University and pursue Oriental Medicine. By the time Charles began his education in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in 2001, he had already studied many of the numerous techniques listed below which broadened his understanding of health and disease.

As Charles quickly moved through the didactic courses ahead of schedule, and all the while researching related Oriental Medical theories, he found his desire for Herbology waning. Yet, his pursuit of knowledge led him to the works of George Soulie De Morant and Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, in which his entire perspective of medicine transformed dramatically. Although not yet finished with his second year of Oriental Medical education, Charles had already delved fully into the study of Morant and Quimby’s works.

He quickly found that “True Acupuncture,” as described by Morant, was far beyond any other form of health care he had been exposed to and Quimby’s works enlightened him to even higher levels of treatment via the mind. Throughout his journey Charles has studied numerous modalities, of which only a few are worthy of attention. Through the study of Morant and Quimby’s work, Charles uncovered levels of healing for the mind and body that he never imagined possible when he first began his journey.

Although the road has proven to be long and winding, the wisdom gained has been immeasurable, leading Charles to the comprehension of “True Acupuncture”—a form of acupuncture that is not known and understood by the majority - and the development of Facilitated Conscious Change.

Following is a list of modalities that Charles has studied. Although a quick study into these modalities may pique one’s interest, Charles cautions that deeper understanding of many of these “techniques” will reveal the method’s complete reliance on the placebo effect, thus negating true and lasting effects.
