When everything is a hot point

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

What can you do when it seems like every point on the body that you touch with the BioFind wand produces a loud high-pitched tone?  If you have already turned your sensitivity setting down to 1 and turned down the gate (all the way counter-clockwise) and you are still getting too many tones - you may want to try an acupuncture meridian approach to using your BioPack.

For instance, we recently had a Peruvian Paso mare arrive with multiple veterinary diagnosis:  bowed tendons, stifle damage, lymph-eodema, and DSLD (degenerative suspensory ligament disease).  No matter what the real diagnosis, she is in a great deal of pain.  Her front legs are swollen and hot and she exhibits overall body stiffness.  Simply walking is difficult for her.  Our first attempt to use the BioFind produced over 50 “primary” point on just her neck and left shoulder.  She was obviously too reactive to get a clear idea of what points would be the most beneficial to treat with the lights.

So rather spend an inordinate amount of time using the “Hold” button method for determining the absolute most reactive points on her body, we chose to assist her using a meridian approach.  In acupuncture, all of the major meridians have association points along the Bladder meridian.  The Bladder Meridian is also important for clearing toxicity from the body.  So it is often beneficial to approach problems like this mare’s by beginning there.

Breeze recovers from a broken back

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

In December of 2005 I met Breeze. She was an 8 year old Morgan mare who was part of a string of horses used for taking tourists on trail rides here in the Coronado National Forest. She had been diagnosed with severe impaction almost 2 months before and was having to be flushed manually every day with water and given laxatives in order for her to pass manure. Her owner were about to put her down when we met.

What 3 vets had failed to notice was that Breeze’s tail could be lifted up and laid along her spine and her anus was completely flaccid. Her sacrum was twisted and one hip was locked at least 2 inches above and in front of the other. Subsequent vet inspection (by a different vet) showed that Breeze had somehow broken her sacral spine in two to three places and stretched or torn the sacral ligaments. She couldn’t poop because she had damaged the nerves that controlled peristalsis. (more…)

Most Valuable Tool in the Tool Kit

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

In my opinion, my BioFind is the most valuable tool that I have for identifying and locating problems. I have lots of treatment modalities that I can reach for: Reiki, Acupressure, Massage, Photopuncture (BioScan), etc. But you have to know where to treat! With the BioFind, even the most novice horse owner can locate blocked areas without having to know anatomy, acupuncture meridians or even how to see movement imbalances.

For more advanced users, the points that we locate (outside of trauma areas) are almost always acupuncture points that can be charted and used with uncanny accuracy to assist with diagnoses.

If you are new to using a BioFind, take the time to learn how identify which points are alerting most strongly and keep track of which points are showing up. You will begin to notice trends in which points show up for which problems.
