In this section we try to inform both medical professionals and the general public about news in the field of health, and provide advice on life hygiene. These are, on the one hand, articles contributed by our collaborators, and on the other hand, relevant news that appeared in other media.
Acupuncture is an energy medicine that is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Zhēn 针), which is made up of two clearly differentiating facets: one preventive and the other curative. In Far Eastern medicine, paramount importance was given to preventing the onset of disease, trying to harmonize man in his constant dynamism between heaven and earth.
We owe propieptive posturology to Dr. Bernad Bricot, who, based on the studies of doctors Bourdiol, Nogier and Baron, has perfected a method that makes it possible to treat a wide variety of spinal disorders, using proprioceptive insoles that incorporate a CPRP (plantar center of postural reprogramming).
The magnetic resonance quantum analysis method is a recent, fast, precise and non-invasive spectral detection method, which makes it especially suitable for the comparison of the curative effects of different medicines and medical products, and for the verification of possible abnormal states of health. The main analysis items number more than 30, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular condition, bone mineral density, trace elements, blood lead, rheumatism, lung and respiratory tract, nephropathy, blood sugar, stomach and intestines, liver and gallbladder, cranial nerves, gynecology, etc.
Homeopathy is a therapeutic method developed and developed by a German doctor Samuel Christian Friederich Hahnemann, who was born in Dressen (Saxony, Germany) in 1755. Although he came from a humble family, he studied chemistry and medicine at the Universities of Leipzig , Erlangen and Vienna. He paid for his university studies by translating texts, since he was fluent in several languages, including Greek and Latin.
Metameric massage is considered a neural therapy: it acts from the periphery through cutaneous stimulation and produces an effect on the organs through the viscero-musculo-cutaneous reflex. This massage consists of the treatment of the different metameric areas on the skin surface of the body, since a diseased organ can produce symptoms in a certain area of the body with which it is related: pain, tension, vasomotor disturbances.n.
In the human body there are several zones or microsystems that reflect in small areas everything that happens in the organism. They are also known as "microsystems of acupuncture" or simply as "reflex zones". These areas have a special innervation and their stimulation has an effect on the patient's health, since they can be used both in the diagnosis and in the treatment of a large number of diseases.
Depression is one of the diseases with the greatest increase in our society, undoubtedly encouraged by the deep crisis of our times, both in the economic sphere and in the family and social spheres. But modern medicine, instead of trying to understand the causes and help solve them, prefers to give a kind of "candy", in the form of antidepressants, which have a pleasant effect, helping to close one's eyes to reality. And as the saying goes: "eyes that do not see, heart that does not feel". But those "candies" cause 40,000 deaths a year in the United States and hundreds of thousands around the world.
This is an "anti-stress" technique induced through sensory stimuli in the cephalic region and the auricular pavilion, based on craniopuncture and auriculotherapy, through which certain reflex areas related to the brain are stimulated.
Although the technique seems simple, it requires knowledge of anatomy, craniopuncture and auriculotherapy. On the other hand, the technique can be accompanied by other sensory stimuli such as the use of certain aromas (osmotherapy), sounds (phonotherapy) or colored lights (chromotherapy).
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), smoking is a dependence on tobacco nicotine, which generates various diseases in the human body, after a constant intake of this substance and others that enter the bloodstream with each inhalation. Faced with such a situation, it is known that tobacco use is one of the main causes of mortality in the world and for this reason awareness of the disadvantages of smoking has developed. Thus, for some years, many have tried to give up cigarettes (cigars or pipes), and have used nicotine replacement therapy and some others that affected smoking behavior.
According to Robert Kulacz, DDS, and Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, we should think twice before having a root canal performed on us. After several years of research, doctors Kulacz and Levy, following the ideas of Dr. Weston Price, have come to the conclusion of how dangerous the practice of root canals is, due to the danger of suffering various types of bacterial infection. Previously Dr. George Meining had published a book entitled "Root Canal Cover-Up" which exposed the dangers of root canal treatment due to multiple systemic infections. Both Dr. Price and Dr. Meining were criticized by their dental colleagues, whose concern was more for "dental aesthetics" at any price than the health of their patients.
One of the problems faced by acupuncturists who begin to treat is knowing how to choose the most appropriate treatment in each case. Generally, the "most comfortable" route is chosen, which consists of consulting a vademecum, of the many existing on the market, such as "101 diseases treated with acupuncture and moxibustion" published by E.L.E. from Beijing, Fundamentals of Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion also published by E.L.E. from Beijing, Patogénie et pathologie energétiques en médecine chinoises by Nguyen van Nghi, Ed. Don Bosco, Marseille, L'Acuponcture chinoise by G. Soulie de Morant, Ed. Maline from Paris or the Therapeutic Formulary that I published in 1980 with the Ed. Miraguano, among many others on the market. The problem is that we choose the one we choose, it is always about the personal experiences of those who wrote those treatises, and their "therapeutic formulas" correspond to specific patients in very personal circumstances.
There are a large number of studies corroborating that the ideal temperature for sleeping oscillates between 15º C and 20º C, while above or below that temperature range there is some discomfort or restlessness. However, said study requires certain considerations to be taken into account.
Chromapuncture is a technique based on traditional Chinese acupuncture, through which the body's energy pathways are stimulated thanks to small colored light bulbs. In modern language it would be the action of photons (particles that form light) on cations (electropositive of a molecule) contained in the organic electrolytic solution, especially in the mesenchyme or matrix of the cell. The human body contains a large amount of metallic substances in the form of microscopic particles such as iron, aluminum, copper, lead, etc., which are found in our organic fluids such as blood or the fluid that surrounds cells. When light, thanks to the particles that compose it, that is, photons, collides with these metals, a physical effect called photoelectric is produced. This phenomenon produces a certain energy that depends on the wavelength, that is, the color of said light. And it is this energy that is transmitted through the energetic "meridians" that allow the maintenance of all bodily functions.
How many times when we get up in the morning and look in the mirror, when we go to brush our teeth, have we observed a strange appearance in our tongue. White, yellowish, with red dots,..., the color and texture of the tongue immediately reflects the state of our health. A morning exam can help you discover small alterations in your body or that of your family in time.
It is estimated that 80% of the population has suffered or will suffer some type of back pain. There are people who think that their backs will never hurt until one day, when they bend down in the shower to pick up the soap or lift a box, they get "stuck" and have severe back pain. The age does not matter, although with the years the risk can be even greater. But on other occasions the pain occurs for no apparent reason.
Dr. Albert Abrams (San Francisco 1862 – 1924) is considered the father of radionics, a therapy that tries to cure diseases by balancing people's vital energy, using a series of instruments capable of generating healing waves . But actually Dr. Abrams was a "rediscoverer", since the knowledge of "healing waves" goes back to the remotest antiquity.
