Acupuncture versus Lifewave patch technology

Catherine Many people ask me, "What is the difference between using LifeWave patches and getting acupuncture?"
Since I am an acupuncturist, I am in a good position to answer that question!
Both acupuncture and LifeWave activate the body's energy system to heal itself. Both use specific acu-points on the body for its effect. But here is where they differ:
LifeWave patches are programmed to perform specific functions in the body, such as increasing fat burning for energy like in the Energy Enhancer patch, or telling the cells to put together more Glutathione molecules in order to detoxify the body and mop up free radicals like in the Y-Age patch.
Acupuncture has no specific programming except for the actual point location and intention we use that point for. In acupuncture, I cannot increase the body's strength by 40% within minutes of needling someone like the Energy Enhancers can!
Acupuncture, on the other hand, can treat a variety of ailments all at once. Acupuncture, of course, requires a specialist to perform and the availability of the patient to come to regular weekly appointments (at least initially). Each appointment is about 1 to 1.5 hours long, and it is suggested that you should take it easy after each appointment, precluding any heavy duty work or exercise for the rest of that day.
Say you had insomnia and couldn't get a decent night's sleep. You could come to acupuncture 3-5 times to see whether it would help. Now during that time, I'd be possibly looking for other things to treat. That would cost around between $300 - $500 and take about 5 1/2 hours of your time.
The Silent Nights patch is $90 retail for a 2 month's supply. You will want to use it everyday at first rotating through all the acupuncture points on the brochure. Most people respond within about 3 weeks or sooner and, if not, we add the Aeon patch during the daytime to decrease stress. By the way, Dr. Norman Shealy has recently done a study on the Silent Nights patches and showed that 72% of participants had a decrease in daytime sleepinesss, 80% improved teh quality of their sleep and 88% improved their length of sleep.
I've had many patients not have to pay for acupuncture because they found relief in a simple patch...and let me tell you, they were absolutely thrilled!
If you have not yet used LifeWave, I urge you to get some today! To try Lifewave, go to www.lifewave.com/acupark or contact me at 206-799-8947 and we can discuss it further to see if LifeWave is right for you.>/p>

Thyroid Protocol
Mon, 02/28/2011 - 18:16 | Catherine Thyroid patches follows a protocol of three days.
The first day, Energy Enhancement patches go on the middle of the neck horizontally on stomach 9, the white patch on the right and the tan patch on the left. Stomach 9 is directly over the place where you can feel your carotid artery pulse,
Next, put a glutathione patch in the center of the neck, between the 2 energy enhancement patches. See the picture below. Make sure you are drinking lots of water!
