Then please skip this section. If you are like most practitioners, however, and want and need more business coming through your door, then read on! OK, let’s say that you are a dedicated and skilled practitioner, you are well-trained and have invested in excellent equipment and you have a nicely feng-shui’d office. Shouldn’t that attract lots of business? Not necessarily. It’s vital that you don’t keep all this to yourself, and that requires marketing your practice. The word “marketing” often evokes feelings as comfortable for many holistic practitioners as stabbing one’s self with an ice pick, but it doesn’t have to be that way! The most effective and fun form of marketing is sharing what you love with as many people as possible. In this message-heavy culture, traditional advertising has become increasingly ineffective. People are inundated with marketing messages on TV, on their computers, on public transportation, in newspapers, skywriting and even above toilet stalls in restaurants! Yet what has always worked since ancient times still works the best. Your #1 job in promoting your practice is to dazzle your clients with impressive RESULTS as quickly as possible. RESULTS speak louder than any other marketing. In addition to being a RESULTS wizard nurture your relationships with the patients and friends who already know and believe in the value of your services. Kill them with kindness (not literally) and they will be your best marketing agents by spreading the word about you to those who trust them. Open houses have been highly successful for microcurrent and facial rejuvenation practitioners. Again, people get a chance to see it, feel it and touch it in small groups, and the attendees build each other’s excitement. If your goal is to bring in lots of referrals in a tough economy then one of your principal priorities should be to develop your own market niche within your community. This is often called your USP, or Unique Selling Proposition. If you don’t like the word “selling”, you could call it your UHO – Unique Healing Offering. Whatever you call it, people are looking for practitioners who they perceive as leaders or experts in their specialty. Please don’t be scared off by the word “expert”. There are plenty of selfdescribed experts on television, radio and national magazines with no more valuable experience and study in their field than you have. While no one can be an expert on all subjects, you can make yourself highly knowledgeable in your own practice focus or niche. 4 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 Here are activities that raise your visibility and esteem in your community and draw more new patients to you: 1. Have a website. Make it professional and attractive. Use it to build your list and establish yourself as an authority in a niche area of practice. Put valuable free information on it that your target customers will want to read – don’t just promote your practice on it. Change the content regularly. Our East-West Seminars marketing support team offers website reviews and consultation to help you achieve these objectives. 2. Create a newsletter. Some highly successful marketing gurus I know have taught that a good newsletter is the #1 marketing tool for a small business. It should position you as a generous authority, offer valuable tips for your readers and be fun to read. Accomplish that by including some things about your personality and experiences and offer incentives or contests to your patients. 3. Write articles. Put them on your website and in your newsletter. When someone sees your name on an article it immediately raises their opinion of you (unless the article is illiterate). Here’s a shortcut – you can browse my extensive articles on the East-WestSeminars.com Knowledge Base and get some good ideas and references for your own. Just be sure to credit me with any direct quotes or intellectual property. 4. Offer open houses and teach classes and in your office and for local organizations with members you want to reach. 5. Be philanthropic: Offer some pro bono services for those who can’t afford you, donate to a charity you believe in or conduct research or a clinical trial (which can be easier than you think). This is the law – as you give so shall you receive, or as the movie title said: “Pay it Forward”. On an inner level, offering these types of services cleanse and purify your own energy fields and raise your vibrational level, thereby making you more magnetic to more people. Maybe instead of the old saying “When the going gets tough the tough get going” we can propose “When the going gets tough the best healers get glowing”. (yes I have a silly side) I offer weekly webinars, most of which are free of charge. At least one webinar per month offers highly relevant business and marketing tips to give you more details on these points. You can view the current schedule and register for the webinars at www.eastwestseminars.com. 5 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 Masterful Results for Techno-Phobic Practitioners Many holistic doctors and practitioners have a love/hate relationship with technology. They love what computers and healing tools can do for them. They love the rapid, powerful results. However, many go into a panic-stricken, deer in the headlights reaction when confronted with the need to learn a new modality. I guess the majority of holistic practitioners like to work hands-on with their patients, and sometimes also feel that using a “machine” is a departure from that kind of pure person-to-person relationship. Yet using the right technology can boost and accelerate your results with relief of pain, facial rejuvenation and functional medicine and give you more time for helping your patients with their deeper needs. Here are some words of advice for techno-phobes who are nonetheless drawn to the advantages of using energy medical devices: 1. When it comes to learning how to use it, take a deep breath. Think about the smiling faces of your patients when they are surprised to see their pain disappear so quickly, or their face look lifted and toned after a facial rejuvenation session. Think about the new juice and excitement an effective new modality can bring into your practice. Connect with your desire to be financially successful. Then read the instructions or watch the training video with those motivations in mind. You’ll find yourself more focused and present. 2. Inspire yourself by applying the Power of Intention to your use of the new tool. Good energy medical devices can be a channel, or focusing point for your intention, love and caring. When you connect with your highest intentions for serving your patient before you pick up your treatment probes your treatments can be greatly boosted in effectiveness – and you will feel more inspired. 3. Walk before you run. If you feel technologically challenged don’t feel you have to learn everything about your device at once. Just start by learning one or two simple pain relief techniques, such as Circling the Dragon treatment or pad applications with motion. Build your confidence by seeing the positive results just from these simple methods. Then, when you are comfortable, move on and learn more. The training programs East-West Seminars offers for microcurrent electro-acupuncture can be paced like that – learn at your own speed and be motivated by the results you see for yourself. 6 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 How to Avoid Four Prime Causes of Failure with Pain Relief Treatment Pain is an incredibly complex phenomenon. It is an urgent message from the body-mind-spirit that some aspect is energetically blocked or out of balance with the organism. Pain is intimately related to trauma, attitude and emotion. In many cases acupuncture, bodywork or chiropractic treatment is able to relieve mild to difficult pain conditions to the satisfaction of the patient. Yet all of us encounter patients who do not respond satisfactorily even with well-chosen treatment. These cases are frustrating for both patient and practitioner, and can hurt your business reputation. Here are four prime reasons for these failures: CAUSE #1: Over-Reliance on Local Treatment It is instinctive to touch or rub a painful area when one is hurt, and it is also a common reaction to apply therapy primarily to the painful areas of our patients. Yet this is not always, or even often, the most rewarding treatment strategy. Our bodies are holograms. This means that each individual part is connected to the whole. This is not just an abstract philosophical concept, but a practical basis for obtaining outstanding results with your difficult pain patients, and for understanding how the body works.1 Some of the most powerfully effective and RAPID results with pain are obtained by creating a polarized microcurrent circuit between the painful area and a holographicallyrelated distal zone. Here is an example of applying polarized microcurrent stimulation to treat tennis elbow. Note how the + probe is on the painful elbow, while the – probe is on a tender holographic distal region on the opposite knee. CAUSE #2: Failure to Apply the Law of Polarity In my over 20-year teaching career, I have concluded that the factors in energy medicine that makes one of the biggest differences between clinical success and failure is the use of correct polarity in 1 For more details on holographic pain therapy, see my article posted at: http://www.east-westseminars.com/view_research.php?researchid=20 7 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 treatment. Yet few, if any, chiropractic or acupuncture schools teach much about this subject! Many microcurrent stimulators only offer biphasic, or alternating current. This is current with the + and – polarity switching back and forth every few seconds. Circling the Dragon technique using biphasic current has its uses and can produce great results under the right circumstances, but it' s only one tool in the toolbox and unfortunately it' s one many practitioners rely on too much. This makes them miss out on the deeper and potentially longer-lasting benefits you get when you utilize the Law of Polarity. Biphasic devices are easier to manufacture and simpler to teach about. But unfortunately they have only limited effectiveness. You can easily learn about the laws of polarity by reading my book Microcurrent Electro-Acupuncture2 or better yet, attending one of my hands-on seminars where I thoroughly demonstrate how to use the Law of Polarity when treating patients. It' s really very simple and can greatly enhance your results, regardless of what equipment or treatment modalities you use.3 CAUSE #3: Failure to Address Underlying Emotional Aspects of Pain Let’s face it. Modern Americans are stressed out with so many pressures and uncontrollable changes. Most people with relatively simple, short-term pain and illness won’t pay a practitioner, they will just “wait until it goes away” or take OTC medication. By the time they come to you, the pain or illness is usually well entrenched and often has emotional undertones. I’m about to tell you the bombshell breakthrough that will allow you to help connect with and balance your clients on a much more profound level. The great news – applying it can take you less time than you are spending now on other modalities! Here it is – color light therapy. This is an under-appreciated and very potent therapy. When appropriate colors of light are simultaneously added to microcurrent electro-acupuncture, you are addressing the physical, energetic and emotional levels, all at once! That' s because they' re all connected...and affect each other in ways that until recently, hadn' t been studied or very well understood. Many doctors see color therapy as a fad, a waste of time or worse. Yet this is only because they are not keeping up with the latest research! Did you know that light or color therapy is now extensively used for all of the following applications by doctors and hospitals?: • 2 3 Pain relief (including use by the US armed forces) Published by Desert Heart Press, available from East-West Seminars or Redwing Books You can view the schedule of seminars at www.eastwestseminars.com 8 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 • Photo-dynamic cancer therapies • Treatment of depression and other psychiatric applications (including color design of mental hospital facilities) • Children’s learning difficulties including ADHD • Wound healing acceleration • Killing resistant infections in the blood and body (including fungus) In addition to these medical applications there are many more holistic uses for color therapy. These include: • Boosting the power and effectiveness of acupuncture and microcurrent therapies for pain relief, internal medicine, addictions and neuropathy • Assisting emotional healing for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and many other presentations • Superior results for anti-aging facial and whole body rejuvenation • Spiritual/Soul level treatments that help address the causative level of chronic pain and disease CAUSE #4: Failure to Use the Most Effective Tools One of the biggest hesitations practitioners feel when making the decision to purchase a new piece of equipment comes from memories of prior disappointments. This usually came from investing in highpriced systems in the past where the reality of the results delivered did not live up to the claims and the hype from the manufacturer. Most of us invest in new therapy equipment for two main reasons: The first is to improve results with our hard-to-treat patients, or reduce treatment times; the second is to help make our practices more financially lucrative. So think about it. How many devices have you purchased that have actually accomplished both objectives in a way that made you really happy? Here are the main reasons so many energy medical devices have provided mainly mediocre or disappointing results: • They are not designed to perform techniques that are in accord with the actual energetic functioning of the body. This is simply due to ignorance of the Universal Laws of energy on the part of the equipment designers. For more details on this see my article “How to Choose A Microcurrent Device”4. 4 view it at: http://www.east-westseminars.com/devices.php 9 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 • They over-stimulate the body, thereby generally giving only inconsistent results and triggering uncomfortable reactions in sensitive people • They are confusing to use, so practitioners end up not using them properly • Quality of manufacture, service or support is deficient so they end up malfunctioning and then gathering dust in a closet I can say with absolute confidence, from my extensive clinical experience and that of a great many other practitioners, that non-needle acu-point treatment with microcurrents combined with added color light (Microlight) is one of the most significant advances in energy modalities and acupuncture in modern times. Modern electronics allows you to effortlessly use the power of polarity, correct frequency and waveforms, point location, electro-diagnosis and many other vital advances. modality is amazingly effective. This Microcurrent electro-acupuncture is unparalleled for its amazing clinical effectiveness, speed of results and patient acceptance (including children, animals and needlephobic adults). Three Methods to Improve Results and Reduce Treatment Times for Your Pain and Injury Patients When I attended acupuncture school in the early 1908’s I was taught to insert needles into appropriate acupuncture points and leave them in place for up to 20 minutes. Then turn the patient over and put needles in their back, if needed, for another block of time. This method produced positive results for many forms of internal medical imbalances and sometimes worked well for pain. But it was inconsistent and very time-consuming. I took lots of classes and experimented with various needling techniques and energy applications to try to find ways to have better, more consistent results in less time. Eventually I hit the jackpot and started enjoying my practice SO much more. Great news for you – you can now have the benefit of my years of tedious experimentation right here and now! The key is using microcurrent electro-acupuncture. Why does it work faster and better in many cases? The reason is that electronic acupuncture-type stimulation can do many things needles or standard electric or laser stimulation cannot do. The body is exquisitely sensitive to the factors of specific frequency, polarity and color, and is also very responsive to gentle stimulation (as opposed to harsh, high level currents). A good microcurrent device will make it simple and easy to utilize all of these factors. Here are three methods I use in my practice for getting better results in less time: 10 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 METHOD #1: Kinetic Microcurrent Therapeutics (KMT) You know what’s great about this method? It’s extremely simple! No knowledge of acupuncture or advanced anatomy is needed. Simply place four microcurrent interferential pad electrodes around a painful or injured joint or body area, start the flow of current, and then have the patient exercise that area. What kind of exercise? Just about any appropriate exercise will work, including simple range of motion movements, isometrics, rehab exercises, use of rehab machines or weight training. The key is to get a range of microcurrent frequencies circulating through the injured or painful area while simultaneous mobilization is being performed. A good device will allow you to deliver true interferential currents which automatically set up complex frequency patterns deep in the target tissues that deepen the effect. METHOD #2: Great Loops Balancing treatments This is done with polarized probe electrodes, placing a positive probe on a painful extremity joint area, and a negative probe on a reflex point on on the opposite quadrant of the body. Here is an example of doing that for shoulder pain: Again, this technique can be done successfully without knowledge of acupuncture points and meridians (although more knowledge is always helpful). Simply palpate the opposite quadrant joint for the maximally tender point. Place the + probe on the painful area and the – probe on the opposite tender spot and treat. This technique, when properly done, can relieve significant to severe pain in two minutes or less. The addition of color light (Blue or Purple for pain and inflammation) will significantly enhance effectiveness. 11 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 METHOD #3: Auricular Micro-Macro technique I really love this one! You probably already know about the power of using auricular (ear) acupuncture points for relieving pain and balancing the body’s energies. You may have leaned that in school. What they probably didn’t teach you is that the results of auricular therapy can be greatly augmented by creating a polarized microcurrent circuit between the ear point and its corresponding painful, or diseased body area. This dynamic, powerful technique accomplishes a great deal of symptomatic relief and systemic balancing within seconds. This picture shows the use of Micro-Macro technique for relief of shoulder pain. I’ve also used it with great success for low back pain, digestive upsets, Kidney weakness, migraines, cancer pain and knee pain. It is valuable for pain relief, internal regulation (through the autonomic nervous system connections) and can even be used for overall energetic balancing and as a support for treatment of emotional disorders. The ear not only contains points for the various anatomical features of the body. It also has corresponding points and regions for dermatomes, chakras and points of special effect. Micro-Macro technique can be used to for augmenting the results of almost any kind of therapeutic treatment. The common feature to all three of the methods described in this section is that they utilize principles of therapy that are in accord with Universal Laws of energy balance and movement. Kinetic microcurrent therapy applies added gentle energy to enhance the benefits of exercise, working with the body’s proprioceptive feedback system. The Great Loops and Micro-Macro techniques tap into the holographic nature of the body: the universal “as above – so below” principle. When these great principles of energy are utilized in therapy, there is an economy of time and effectiveness that greatly exceeds conventional acupuncture and electro-therapeutic methods. This then opens the power of “less is more”. 12 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 Six Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Microcurrent Therapy Device for Your Practice Your clinical tools are important investments in the success of your practice, and your patient’s wellbeing. It is important to do your homework before making a purchase decision, as many practitioners I’ve spoken to have regretted investing in equipment that turned out to be inadequate or came from companies with inadequate or non-existent training and support. Taking the time to understand what to look for in a device and company can save you years of headaches and struggles trying to find ' what works' and literally thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money that could be a wasted investment if you' re not armed with the knowledge you need to make an intelligent, informed and educated decision. Here are some important mistakes to avoid. MISTAKE #1: Purchasing a Device That Does Not Offer Selectable Polarity Strangely enough, most of the microcurrent devices marketed to practitioners do not have this feature, which is paramount for accurate, effective holographic pain treatment. You will certainly be very limited in your results without being able to set the polarities the body needs for balance because utilizing the Law of Polarity is one of the most significant factors in your ability to generate rapid, lasting results for your patients. I can teach you how to use polarity correctly so you can achieve the best results quickly and easily. It' s easy for manufacturers to jump on the electric-stim bandwagon and create a device that people will buy without even a rudimentary understanding of how to maximize it effectively. MISTAKE #2: Purchasing a Device That Is Not Precisely Calibrated With High Standards of Manufacturing The systems I design and consult on are made locally in the USA. These are not ' slapped'together in some factory overseas where we don' t know the people actually making them or know if there are problems until they start getting returned. Because of the precision necessary in a device like this, every device is tested and calibrated to exceedingly exacting standards before they are ever shipped out. If the device you are using isn' t calibrated precisely, you could still get ' results'with it but you wouldn' t even know if it was only producing a fraction of the benefits you could be getting. Unfortunately, many practitioners don' t figure out that their equipment isn' t delivering the results they' re looking for until it' s too late and they' ve lost patients who go looking for someone who can produce greater results. 13 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 MISTAKE #3: Buying From a Company That Does Not Have Experts on Staff to Offer You the Training You Need Even the greatest tool is useless unless you know how to use it properly. The training and knowledge you receive is just as valuable as the device itself. Some manufacturers are only in the business of selling machines and if you call their support team, they may not have one person on that team who is well trained how to use the device, let alone have any medical background at all! Make sure that you source your equipment from a company with support staff that are actively practicing energetic medicine and can help guide you to the best clinical applications given your unique practice and clients. Ask the company exactly what their training program is and make sure you don’t settle for less than what you need to be successful. MISTAKE #4: Buying a Device without Precise Feedback Capabilities One of the most exciting aspects of microcurrent electro-acupuncture is the ability to precisely and easily locate optimal treatment points, and to monitor the electrical changes in them as patients are treated. This really wows your patients, as they can see changes in their points for themselves right after your treatments! It also takes the guesswork out of it so you can focus on generating the results you' re looking for, quickly and easily. It' s amazing to be able to show patients the measured level of resistance that' s associated with a specific pain, for example, and then watch their reaction when they see the resistance melt away as the pain leaves their body. They can literally see it happening with their own eyes – confirming for them the scientific validity of this amazing technology. If you can' t demonstrate the science behind what you do, some patients can be nothing more than skeptical that it does what you say it does. This one feature alone has given our practitioners much more confidence and has turned many patients into very strong believers in this type of healing. MISTAKE #5: Buying a Device without True Interferential Capabilities Some of the most effective rehabilitation techniques involve use of mixed-frequency, four-pad microcurrent stimulation placed around an injured joint, often with simultaneous exercise. At the EastWest Seminars trainings we show you how to combine acu and trigger point probe treatment (for local and distal treatments) with local interferential therapy and exercise, to deliver results that really are nothing short of amazing. 14 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 MISTAKE #6: Buying a Device That Does Not Offer Color Light Therapy Along With the Microcurrent Microcurrent Therapy in and of itself is incredibly powerful. When microcurrent is combined with color light therapy (or Microlight), the effects are enhanced significantly. That' s because colored light is a vital part of the body’s information network, a.k.a the Living Matrix. For many years I used and taught the methods of microcurrent electro-acupuncture, without added light. Practitioners I was in touch with mainly reported very positive and satisfactory results. About eight years ago I started combining microcurrent with color light on the same treatment points and regions. Some of the people who had already used microcurrent for several years added the new light therapy probes. They then had a year or more to compare the results. The feedback we got showed the results were longer lasting (longer carry over of relief) and deeper (helping balance emotional and Root energies as well) in many cases. One acupuncturist in Nevada told me that pain and injury conditions previously requiring 10 or more sessions for resolution with acupuncture and microcurrent were only requiring 5 – 6 sessions after color light was added! This was typical of most of the reports. To help you in your “due diligence” process in investigating if Microlight therapy is right for your business, we have set up easy access to the clinical and business information you need to help you make an informed decision. A link to help you get started can be found on the home page of www.eastwestseminars.com . The Amazing Power of Color Light Therapy It may sound like a bad pun when I say that patients “light up” when I show them my color light therapy system. But that is what usually happens! We all instinctively have deep neural, hormonal and emotional connections to the various colors of the visible light spectrum. We love some colors, we dislike some, we tend to wear certain ones on our bodies, but we are in almost constant relationship with light and color. I have observed what I call “color hunger” in my patients – the innate craving for certain wavelengths of light that had been previously blocked in the body/mind. When such a needed color is administered through appropriate acu-points patients demonstrate profound shifts in symptoms, affect and diagnostic signs. 15 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 Here is some further information about color therapy: 1) The body’s subtle energy communication system is based in part on light flows. Research has shown that light travels through the meridian system, similarly to light moving through fiber-optic cables.5 Therefore appropriately selected colors of light are one of the most direct and profound ways to regulate the body. Light is the “language” that our bodies speak when information is being processed, so using Microlight therapy allows you to speak in the language of the body, which is why we' ve been able to generate such gratifying results with this form of treatment. 2) People love it. There’s just something about color… practitioners who have added color light therapy to their practices always have enthusiastic patients and increased referrals. People intuitively know, on an unconscious level, that color is at the root of their emotions and state of consciousness, and love the subtle, but unmistakable shifts they feel when treated with appropriate colors of light through their acupuncture points. 3) Color light is a primary link between Matter and Spirit. Psychologists have long known the relationship of color with mood, motivation and even mental illnesses. For examples: • Bright red, orange, and hot pink can increase muscular tension, emotional excitement and stimulate the release of adrenaline. Reds often increase energy levels and in some cases stimulate the sex drive. (Odom & Sholtz, 2009; Vodvarka, 1999). • Rooms painted with warm colors (reds, oranges) can create feelings of claustrophobia, while rooms painted with cool colors (blues, greens, purples) create the feeling of greater spaciousness. (Kaya & Epps, 2004). • Purple has been shown to increase creativity. It is associated with the Third Eye chakra. (Eiseman, 2003) • Blue, green, and turquoise may reduce stress and irritability, promoting relaxation (Odon & Sholtz, 2009). A primary pathway for the body processing color appears to be through the chakra system first described by ancient Ayurvedic medical practitioners. If you look at a chakra chart you will see that the colors associated with each center 5 Pankratov, Sergei. Meridians Conduct Light. Raum and Zeit. Germany: 1991 16 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 follow the colors of the rainbow, ranging from the coolest colors with shortest wavelengths (violet – crown of head) to the warmest colors with the longest wavelengths (red – root - perineum). Each chakra is said to regulate the functions of an endocrine gland and its associated hormones. These in turn switch on and off almost every body function, and have intimate relationships with emotions and mood. 4) How to use color therapy? There are many methods, each of which has different benefits. The simplest and oldest is bathing the entire body, or afflicted body regions, in a needed color of light (tonation). This method, which goes back to ancient Greek and Egyptian healing temples, is still very valuable and is suitable for patient self-treatment at home.6 Newer, more targeted methods involve applying smaller spots of color light through specific acupuncture and trigger points. This method provides much faster, and in many cases more powerful results. These two methods can be used together – with the more specific “colorpuncture” treatments being done in clinic by a trained practitioner, and the patient treating themselves in between sessions with tonation. How Microlight Therapy Can Help You Shift Your Patients’ Imbalances on the Core Emotional Level To truly do justice to this subject would take an entire report in itself, but I would like to introduce you to these possibilities in this e-Book. Early on my in own clinical practice it was clear that there were deeper issues underlying my patient’s complaints. Even when they were pleased with the relief they obtained from my acupuncture treatments, I was not always satisfied. I could see unresolved emotional and Karmic patterns within them that were likely to cause new issues to resurface. While having patients come back repeatedly is a good way to keep long-term business I was very motivated to try to find ways to help them come to terms with the core of their dis-ease. 6 The definitive reference guide for this method is the book Let There Be Light by Dinshah, available from http://www.dinshahhealth.org/ 17 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 Our ability to help our patients to heal is based on our own degree of healing and self-actualization. It is vital for us as practitioners to try to maintain as clear and high an energy level as possible, and to keep our inter-personal boundaries clear and strong. Then our presence can help facilitate deeper change in our patients. As we all know, this is not easy to maintain. Therefore a daily practice of Qi Gong, meditation, chanting or mindfulness is essential for those of us working with Energy Medicine. Hundreds of practitioners and myself have found that microcurrent and light treatment techniques can significantly boost our therapeutic reach for core level therapy, greatly reducing potential drain on our own personal energies. Here are Microlight techniques that appear to have the greatest value for this purpose: 1) PNE Balancing – This is a system that involves applying microcurrent and color light to selected body areas that help support nerve, organ, endocrine and energy balance in the body. These regions, called chakras in Ayurvedic medicine, are also the primary Mind-Body connection points of the body. This method involves applying a combination of microcurrent and appropriate colors to these areas (front and back) while guiding the patient in speaking healing affirmations or chants or practicing visualizations. 2) SERT and TERS7 – These are two brilliant methods developed by my colleague, Dr. Greg Nevens, for treatment of patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD and other psycho-emotional disorders. These systems involve stimulation pairs of distal acu-points with microcurrent and light while guiding the patient through a series of visualizations, thereby facilitating the “unwinding” of deeply held trauma from the body/mind. Dr. Nevens has reported war veterans with recurring nightmares having reduction or elimination of the nightmares after one or two TERS treatments. Applying these forms of core emotional treatment does not have to be highly time-consuming. In many cases I apply PNE balancing during the last 10 or 15 minutes of a therapeutic session, with many expanded benefits. PNE therapy is taught, hands-on, at some of my live, hands-on seminars. 7 SERT = Synergenic Emotional Reintegration Techniques. TERS = Traumatic Emotional Reintegration Techniques 18 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 The Hidden Dangers of Cold Lasers There is quite a bit of controversy in the holistic medical community and light therapy proponents about the differing therapeutic value of lasers, which produce coherent light, and LED or incandescent sources which produce incoherent light. The term coherent refers to light that is tightly focused, and does not spread out much over long distances. Lasers are coherent light. Non-coherent refers to light that is much less focused and spreads out all over the place. Sunlight, light bulbs and LEDS are examples of non-coherent light. Both types of light therapy are extremely useful and have their places. It' s important to understand which tools you need for which job in order to get the best results for your patients. For example, if you want to put up a picture in your living room you wouldn' t use a sledgehammer to set the nail – you' d use a regular hammer. The sledgehammer would do the job but would certainly be overkill and you may run the risk of doing damage to the wall or furniture, etc... The regular hammer on the other hand would be a much more appropriate choice given your task and therefore would be much more prudent. The same is true for coherent light (lasers) and incoherent light (LED' s and incandescent). Color-puncture is so effective because acupuncture points are energetic gateways and are highly responsive to light. Lasers are very good at what they do well. They are a highly focused form of light which penetrates deeply into the body. Lasers are very useful for treating skin lesions, scar tissue, micro-surgery and some kinds of pain control. The problem with lasers is that they can be too invasive and some researchers believe that they actually blow out the subtle energetics of acupuncture points over time. This could actually damage the meridian system and do more long-term damage than short-term good. Also, they produce unnatural form of stimulation to the body and rarely offer a range of color choices in single lasers, thus limiting the ability to induce different effects. The use of different colors allows you to select known color combinations that work in varying ways to produce either stimulation or calming effects depending on what' s needed in a specific treatment scenario. Lasers have a much higher cost, can be an eye hazard, and are not suitable for whole body treatments. Non-coherent (LED) light has less precise wavelengths than lasers but is significantly less invasive to the human body and much safer to use. The human body is programmed to respond to non-coherent light (such as sunlight) and can transform non-coherent light into coherent light internally under some 19 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 conditions, synthesizing it into the structure it needs to get the job done.8 The ability to select colors provides fidelity in your treatment protocols not available with lasers. Imagine the difference between a strictly classical guitarist and one who plays many different genres of music. They both play beautiful music but the one who can play different genres can play in a blues band, jazz, rock, country, classical, folk, etc... and adapt his music to the environment he' s in at the time. Non-coherent, colored light lets you do the same thing with your treatment protocols. LED' s are also much lower cost than lasers, can be used for whole-body or point-specific treatments, and are suitable for supporting resolution of a wide variety of pain, injury and disease conditions. For a more detailed discussion of Lasers vs. LED' s please read my article “Lasers and LED Treatments: Which Is Better?” at this link For Acupuncturists: Why You Should Offer Non-Needle Services, And How to Get the Best Results with it Simple – you will attract more needle-phobic patients, you can get significantly better results, and your patients will grow your practice through word of mouth and referrals! You will become the “Go-To” practitioner in your community with a reputation for achieving the results your patients are looking for, very quickly and painlessly. Microcurrent electro-medicine and electro-acupuncture is so versatile that it allows you to confidently treat many patient populations. Here are just a few of the uses our clients practice with success: • Pain Relief – I can confidently say that using Microlight equipment with the advanced treatment techniques we teach will take your results to levels you have always wished for – and beyond. • Esthetics—This can be an extremely profitable niche and is for many of our clients. • Needle-phobic patients—Many patients who are afraid of needles and who otherwise wouldn' t be clients have accepted, and been satisfied with, non-needle Microlight therapies. • Sports injuries—Injuries heal faster and with longer carry-over of relief. Once you earn a reputation for these kind of results you will be very busy. • Pediatrics—Children accept this treatment very well and love the color light. • Veterinary—Our Veterinarian clients have seen very gratifying results with treatment of dogs, 8 For details on how non-coherent light can become coherent in the body see book Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics by Leonard Mandel and Emil Wolf, Cambridge University Press 1995 20 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 cats, horses and more.9 • PT/OT—Pain management and range of motion results with worker’s Comp and personal injury cases has been remarkable. • Psycho-Emotional Balancing — See previous section regarding this aspect of treatment Another reason to offer microcurrent electro-acupuncture is that it feels so good to be regarded as a miracle worker by your patients. I interviewed a practitioner from Idaho who told me that she recently attended a book signing, and that many people were regarding her as a celebrity. They told her that they were so grateful that her microcurrent and color light facial rejuvenation treatments had not only made them look better, but had changed their lives for the better by making them feel more balanced and healthy! See testimonials at the end of this e-Book. The way to get the best results: get the most effective equipment and learn to use the most effective techniques. Align yourself with the Power of Intention while applying the therapies. Talk to your patients about the technology. They love being seen as intelligent people who are considered worthy of teaching them a little about how energy medicine works. Three Harmful Misconceptions about Electrical Stimulation What first comes to your mind when you read the words “electrical stimulation”? I’ve asked many people this question and have gotten answers including “over-stimulating patients”, “Yeah, I did that 20 years ago and it doesn’t work very well so I don’t use it anymore” or other very limited or negative conceptions about electrical stimulation (ES). I agree that conventional ES is relatively ineffective, or at best is like an electronic band-aid to provide temporary relief of pain and muscle tension. But when electrical energies are applied to the body according to the correct principles it can provide near-miraculous results. Here are a few of the misconceptions about ES that prevent practitioners from having those kinds of results: 9 See this short video of a veterinarian demonstrating his results with treating dogs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NonUmgw8wWM 21 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 HARMFUL MISCONCEPTION #1: Turn it up as high as they can take, it will work better This is false and dangerous. The human body is extremely sensitive to energy. The endocrine glands, nervous system and neuro-peptides that regulate our subtle internal communication system respond to billionths or trillionth-of-an-amp currents (nano and pico-amps)! Even though microcurrents can’t be felt much of the time, they are still considerably stronger than much of our own internal bioelectricity. Microcurrents are therefore in the perfect range for powerful clinical effectiveness because they are low enough to not disturb our subtle bio-electrical balance, yet high enough to “push” the body to instantaneously, and seemingly magically, relieve pain and other symptoms. Higher milliamp currents, as are used in TENS units, electrical-stim devices and electro-acupuncture machines, are useful at times for treating acute disorders, but can be “overkill” and actually hamper you from attaining the results you' re looking for. That' s why I recommend devices including both microcurrents and milliamps. 10 About 95% of the time I use microcurrents and 5% of the time I' ll use milliamp. Milliamp definitely has its place, though. I call it using the ' Big Hammer'and sometimes you need it to reduce acute inflammation, edema and for some paralytic conditions, but my experience and research validates that the human body responds significantly better to microcurrents applied in specific and easy to learn modalities, based on our understanding of both Eastern and Western medicine. HARMFUL MISCONCEPTION #2: Electric Stimulation Is Chaotic and Disturbing To Sensitive Patients The real truth is it doesn' t have to be this way. Stimulation is only disturbing when the wrong current is used, or current that is too high, or the current is used improperly. There are many people who have hated electrical-stim due to being over-treated with milliamp currents, which can be very uncomfortable. Yet these same, very sensitive people have become ecstatic microcurrent converts once they experienced treatment from a knowledgeable practitioner because the results were simply astounding. Unfortunately, many practitioners have unknowingly used electrical stimulation improperly – not through any fault of their own, but because of a general lack of knowledge in the community about how to design or use these devices correctly. 10 office Information on equipment may be requested by writing to info@east-westseminars.com or calling the EWS 22 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 HARMFUL MISCONCEPTION #3: Using “Machines” Is a Detraction from the Pure Practice of Chiropractic, Acupuncture or Other Energetic Medicine Far from taking away from the purity of your holistic practice, advances in technology allow you to generate the results for your patients that simply weren’t available before, using earlier tools. If getting results is important to you – then you want the best tools available to do the job because you probably didn' t start your profession to be simply a purist but to help people heal themselves in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Metal needles inserted into the human body create electrical discharges. This is much of the basis for the effectiveness of acupuncture. Osseous adjustments create measurable electrical discharges in the tissues. Modern electronics allow you to deliver far more precise stimulation patterns that can vastly increase effectiveness, as proven through years of clinical application and research. By using appropriate polarity, frequency and electronic acu-point location, the consistency of your results will improve dramatically. As long as most treatment remains in the subtle microcurrent range, the meridians become more balanced. This is easily verified by using any form of energetic diagnosis before and after microcurrent treatment. If you don’t believe this try it for yourself! Using pulse diagnosis, abdominal diagnosis, kinesiology or even some kinds of Western lab tests, test some of your patients before and after a microcurrent electro-acupuncture sessions. You will quickly see how rapidly well-placed microcurrent electrodes can improve diagnostic indicators. Four Steps to Effectively Incorporating Energy Medicine Devices into Your Practice Does what you’ve read in this e-Book sound great, but you don’t know where to start? The following guidelines can help you start building the effectiveness and income of your practice, starting from the first steps: Step 1: Make a commitment. Educate yourself. Learn all you can about how to incorporate the timeless principles of Energy Medicine into your practice. These principles are the basis for all effective healing systems throughout the world, from ancient times to the present. There are many kinds of devices and forms of treatment available so learn about what kind will be the most beneficial for you in 23 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 your practice. You want to be sure your equipment and treatment methods deliver the absolute best results you can provide your patients. Step 2: List your objectives. Get the best healing tools for your practice. Don’t compromise here, as that is “penny wise and pound foolish.” Do you want separate devices for every function you' re looking for or do you want them all seamlessly combined together? Are you already comfortable with energy medicine or is it important to you that you have thorough training and support from experts who are on the cutting edge of both the treatments and the technology? Step 3: Ask questions. The way you learn about a company is to ask specific questions and listen carefully to the answers. Here are nine tough questions to ask a device distributor or manufacturer before you place your order: 1. What methods of energy medicine do you recommend and why? 2. How is your equipment assembled? 3. What will your equipment accomplish for my clients? 4. Do you have ongoing training and research programs? 5. Do you regularly publish clinical and research articles (or something else you do)? 6. What do you do to help advance holistic and energetic medicine in the medical community? 7. Do you have licensed medical professionals on staff who are practicing energetic medicine clinically and actively involved in advanced research? 8. Do you have a community of practitioners that regularly exchange best practices and treatment methods? 9. Do you have other practitioners I can speak with who use your device? Call the customer care department of the company you are considering and see if they are easy to do business with. This can save you a lot of trouble. Probe the support staff with questions about the device and how to use it. Ask to speak to other practitioners who are currently using it and ask them what they like about it as well as what they don' t like, both about the equipment and the company. Ask to see testimonials of both happy practitioners and happy clients. Step 4: Review and Assess Prior to Purchase. Once you’re satisfied that you’re working with an honest, competent, professional company, call them and ask them to give you an assessment of how their technology and treatment protocols would best fit into your practice. Request their information so you can see what they offer in terms of equipment but also in terms of ongoing support, education, training and the advancement of the holistic and energetic medicine community. There is no “one size fits all” in energetic medicine. Be open to the fact that different patients require different approaches. Don’t worry though, learning new modalities and incorporating advanced 24 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 technologies into your practice is much easier than you might think. We are constantly holding webinars, seminars, live training events, teleconferences and posting videos, articles and updating educational content online in order to advance your knowledge and understanding of the most up-todate treatments available today. We are bringing practitioners together and creating resources to share the vast knowledge available to advance energetic medicine and raise the awareness of both practitioners and patients. By following these four steps, you’ll gain all the information you need to make an informed, intelligent purchase decision. If you want a cheap, relatively ineffective device to use in your practice, many companies can help you. You can always just buy any device that looks like it might work for you and hope for the best. However, if you want your practice to be on the leading edge of both treatments and technology – bursting at the seams with happy, satisfied patients telling everyone they know how great you are – then we invite you to call us. We’ll be happy to answer your questions – provide you with a free Information Pack and DVD, answer any questions over the telephone – or give you a complimentary Energy Medicine business consultation to discover the best way to incorporate an energetic medical device or Microlight therapy into your practice – without cost or obligation of any kind.

This is the only instrument of its type I have ever endorsed." ~ Nguyen Van Nghi, M.D., Director, French Review of Traditional Chinese Medicine Marseilles, France “After 30 years in practice it is remarkable to see pain disappear before your eyes…this system offers better pain relief than needle therapy. I now feel confident treating a variety of pain cases and expecting immediate results.” ~ Jake Paul Fratkin, OMD, L.Ac. Boulder, CO "I'm a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist, and I've dealt with patients with chronic pain syndromes for 20 years... Almost any kind of pain patient you can imagine can benefit from the (these methods), ... I find it very complementary to acupuncture because you have a machine that's portable , a machine that can do multi task, that's multi factorial... After the patients became enthusiastic, and the excitement not only affected the other physicians, but the staff, the particular treatment … started to sell itself, in fact the patients actually started demanding the treatment...“It wasn't more than probably about 10 weeks, probably about 8-10 week range before we completely recovered the investment. ~ John Porter, M.D. Phoenix, AZ “From the standpoint of a Chiropractor I’ve got to get though a lot of people quickly… I started using your methods and my results are way better, ten times better… I’ve used lasers (and other devices) on these points, all of it seems to work but this has definitely been a much, much bigger difference… I get big noticeable changes in seconds.” ~ Stewart Edrich, D.C., Los Alamitos, CA “I just wanted to let you know that I have been using the machine for the past two days, and wow! so far, we have been having terrific feedback and results. Thanks so much! I really appreciate how much of your learning and knowledge you share so openly.” ~ Tasleem Kassam, N.D., Calgary, AL, Canada “I wanted to let you know that I have been doing ELR (Energy Light Rejuvenation) treatments to many of my clients with colds. They are telling me that the treatments are enabling them to breathe much better and helping them feel better from the cold symptoms. Also, yesterday I treated a lady who had ringing in her ears and had it for many years. She said after I did the ELR treatment the ringing in her ears went away.” ~ Diane Lynch, Esthetician, Twin Falls, ID “Before I attended your class I had a busy practice but now I am flooded with clients. I have been working 6 days a week, with a list of people waiting to get in to see me… I have been doing work with the Acutron and have had fantastic results….” ~Andrya Lopez, Bodyworker-Holistic Healer, Modesto, CA “I am really impressed how fast it worked on me. What other wonders can be done with Microlight? WOW! I know there was a reason why I was waiting on purchasing color and matrix machines I have researched before I met you.:)” ~ Beata George, Owner, Euro Med Cancer Treatment Center, Phoenix, AZ 26 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 “Darren, as I mentioned to Jo Ann on the phone this morning, the technology, in and of itself is phenomenal. But the added bonus of all the extra trainings and webinars, the ongoing support is priceless, immeasurable. Really. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.“ ~ Maianna Fisher, NMD, Phoenix, AZ "The microcurrent has been a blessing to our patients and a joy to use. We have successfully helped a wide variety of health problems form acute trauma to chronic and non-responsive conditions given up on by the traditional medical community... In our minds there is absolutely no question that this machine does what the manufacturer says it will and then some.... We have used the Acutron for four months now, and have not had one question or denial from insurance. In fact, several carriers have told us they are very pleased with our therapies because they hasten recovery and speed healing and are thus seen as both clinically appropriate and very cost-effective. In the four months of use the machine has already paid for itself!" ~ James Bowman, D.C., Stevens Point, WI "The patient opinion on this machine is great, and it paid for itself in the first couple of months we had it" ~ Susan Mitchell, L.Ac., Fort Lauderdale, FL "I've had just phenomenal results with it....You can use it for so many applications... pain control, sports medicine.... a patient comes in with a problem, you do something to fix the problem, and they're overjoyed! ...there's nothing better than having patients love you." ~ Margie Simmons-Stuper, Sports Medicine Therapist, Mesa AZ "I've worked with a number of gold medalists at the '96 Olympic games, silver and bronze medalists, all high level athletes from 5 countries, and various NHL hockey teams... Very often they fly in and stay several days, and what I find is when I combine the therapies that (I learned from you) usually they only have to stay for 2 or 3 days and then they are pretty much on the road to full recovery... once the word gets out about the kind of work that you are doing you are going to be more busy than you can handle!" ~ Mark Scappaticci, D.C., Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada "I presently use seven units in six pain management treatment facilities. …. I generally do not endorse products for companies, but in this case I will, because I honestly believe that your device does all that you claim for it and more. This is refreshing. I use the therapy n in my practice as an integral part of the rehabilitation process. I can see how it could potentially save the health care and business communities billions of dollars in time lost at work or athletic activities. I would certainly recommend your systems to any health care practitioners desiring a non-invasive, safe and highly effective, as well as profitable, solution for building their practice. Treatments may be billed under established CPT codes. Finally, I have also been pleased with the (training) and ongoing customer support your company provides. Keep up the good work!" ~ Alejandro Katz, O.M.D., Q.M.E., L.Ac., Los Angeles, CA "The microcurrent system… has been in use at the Maryvale Samaritan Health Institute and Thunderbird Samaritan.... Microcurrent has been applied to a wide variety of painful conditions (including) post-op pain... The results have, in many cases, bordered on the miraculous. In some cases (it)has made the difference between treatment success and failure." ~ David Ogden, P.T., Phoenix, AZ "There's also some of our patients that come in with pain that really don't want to have acupuncture (needles)...it has greatly helped." ~ Susan Mitchell and Walter Young, L.Ac., Ft. Lauderdale, FL 27 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 "...Many myofascial pain patients who have sympathetically-maintained pain and cannot tolerate (even) light touch responded best to the device, using its milliamp-microamp combination therapy. Because of the excellent results... we have purchased one unit for each of our four offices. I would recommend the use of (this therapy) to other professionals working in the area of hand rehabilitation." ~ Peggy Langley, P.T., Hand and Upper Quarter Rehabilitation Services, Phoenix, AZ "On behalf of the Arizona State University Sports Medicine, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you... We have heard nothing but compliments from the athletes and trainers who have used (your system)... We have also found it very effective in reducing the amount of practice and competition time lost, per athlete. Thus, we are able to get them back on the field faster. As a whole, we feel that your system would be great benefit to any type of rehabilitation program." ~ Perry Edinger, Assistant Athletic Trainer, ASU Sports Program “People’s skin changes for the better no matter if they are 77 years old, a smoker of 40 years or a 30 year old… everyone gets compliments and everyone notices. The skin gets more youthful and alive!” ~ Penny Ordway, Esthetician/Owner, Eviama Life Spa, Philadelphia, PA “My experience of my first (ELR) face-lift procedure: beside an overall clarity in skin tone, the age lines around my mouth were hardly visible, and the puffiness under my eyes disappeared. More importantly, I felt a wonderful sense of calm well-being; my mind was very clear and sharp and has remained so. As a professional musician/pianist, I am finding that my creative energy has been heightened. It is as if my technique has been unleashed, yet outwardly I am very calm, almost peaceful. My arms and back usually get very tense very quickly at the keyboard, but I have felt none of that tension, rather a release and a strange sense of rejuvenation, as if a broken circuit of energy has been repaired. I highly recommend this procedure for an overall life lift!” ~ Nancy, ELR client, 52 years old, Orlando, FL “Ever since your last fall ELR seminar I have enjoyed so much personal and professional success using (your device) and the ELR products, especially the colored pulsed light. Not only have I enjoyed my practice more than EVER, but my patients are so enthused and impressed with the changes in their faces and whole bodies renewal. Their comments include: ‘my friends swear I had a surgical face-lift!’ ‘I feel like that man in the Viagra commercial who looks like he has the world on a string’ – ‘People say I look so good – did you lose weight? Did you just come back from a vacation and only after having two treatments’. Another patient adds ‘These treatments make me feel like pure bliss.’ Since I’ve added light technology (to my microcurrent therapies), I’m getting more dramatic, profound and better results. Patients seem to relax better and feel energized afterwards.” ~ Susan Roffman, RN, Acupuncture Physician, Orlando, FL “Using your system has truly revolutionized my dermatology practice. There are a few people who come along and make a really significant change in my practice and you are one, Dr. Starwynn. I’ve found the meridian balancing treatment alone helpful for psoriasis in my early experience with the unit. It’s truly amazing. I’ve only had it for 3 – 4 days and already I’ve treated 10 people... with great results.” ~ Don Baker, M.D., Gibbsboro, NJ “Quantum healing techniques are fascinating. Dr. Starwynn does an excellent job of presenting and dispersing information.” ~ Renee Hubbs, L.Ac., Okemos, MI 28 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012 “Thanks! Yes I'm using microcurrent electro-acupuncture quite a bit for orthopedic (arthritis) and sports related problems. I am the team acupuncturist for a triathlon team and it's amazing how well athletes respond to combination treatments you taught me. Yes, it helps they are in their early 20's but they love the treatments using no more than four needles and the rest your techniques.” ~ Gerry Dunphy, L.Ac., Brazil “As a licensed esthetician, when I compare the income producing ability of the ELR treatments, I can almost double my income in the same amount of time that it takes me to do a basic facial. Using Microlight therapy is the most leveraged treatment I perform for my clients. We both win! I make more money in less time, my clients see more results and maintain their results while spending less money than they would for a more invasive treatment.” ~ Barbara Balsamo, Lic. Esthetician, Fairfax, VA “OK, so this is really spontaneous. I have this client that all I had to do was explain what the microcurrent could do and the benefits of how the ELR works on her face and body, and she bought a package right then and there. Every time I gave her a treatment, she walked out excited and smiling and can't say enough about me to others. (and believe me, she is giving my brochures to everyone she knows) . This woman was one step away from seeing a surgeon to have a face lift, and she is so glad she did not choose that option. I have another client who said, "Anna, we need to get you out there and tell more people about the work you do, you are sitting on a gold mine". Very exciting times( even in these times). I love what I do.... Thanks doctor Starwynn for assisting me through your programs and seminars to help me achieve my dream.” ~ Anna Marie Davis, Esthetician, Capitola, CA “After just one rejuvenation treatment, my clients sign up for a series package…they can instantly see the results and the value.” ~ Beth Anne Fischberg, Esthetician, Revive You, Stoneham, MA 29 Darren Starwynn, O.M.D. East-West Seminars 2012
