Traditional Chinese medicine has been chosen by the World

Health Organization for worldwide propagation to meet the
heath care needs of the twenty-first century.
If that doesnt excite you,
you better check your pulse!!!!

TUNG INTRO
In 2007, I graduated from acupuncture school, and needed a break. I started a non-profit, and went volunteering for the next 3 years.
I volunteered in India, Vietnam, Honduras, Guatemala, and in America.
I failed miserably the first two years in acupuncture practice. It was spectacular!

Plastic surgeon, detox center, MD, allergist clinic, nurse practitioner, bio identical, spa, wellness center, therapy combo,
solo practice, house calls, group, volunteer, working hourly, ER hospital, herbal house call van deal, old folks home, 4
overseas volunteer trips.

In my clinic, I see 100 people a week on my own, each patient individually, no group treatments, no assembly line acupuncture. I see
25-30 people a day, and I work Mon-Thursday, 3 tx rooms. My wife runs the front office, I do all the herbs, treating, insurance,
cleaning, laundry, make herbs, ordering of supplies and materials. We have only been open since 2010 March. We were at 76 people
the first week. I DIDNT KNOW ANYBODY IN MY AREA! It was a small town, 12,000 people mostly of fisherman/farmers/blue collar
workers, no acupuncture ever in the town
YOU CAN DO ACUPUCTURE ANYWHERE! Quit thinking in terms of do people like acupuncture here or there? Think in terms of
are there sick people here? Is so? I provide medicine and I can be of service! It just so happens that you do acupuncture and
herbs.
Why am I here talking? Because I'm a novice. Because I'm new. Because I dont know that much. If I can do this? YOU ALL CAN!!!
IM NOT SPECIAL!

TUNG INTRO
I have been taught Tung Acupuncture by Wei Chi Young and I have been
taught the Balance Method acupuncture by Dr. Richard Tan. To them I owe
everything I have learned.
I had the chance to practice all these points overseas, doing volunteer
work, treating 100 patients a day. Volunteering is important. It allows you
to treat for free thus it allows you to treat without fear. It allows you to
experiment without worrying about booking the next appt. You can test,
try, retry, rethink, and all the time youre helping others. People come for
months, you can see the evolution of your treatmentswhat is working?
What is not working? Why not? Why is it?
Treat as much as you can, you will get better with experience

TUNG INTRO
The biggest reason people dont succeed is because they
dont expose themselves to the existing information - Jim
Rhome

I'm just Brad. I have no magic needle, no golden touch, I have no

privileged information or powerful potions. If I can do it, anybody can!
Step by step, needle by needle, and patient by patient. We learn. All this
information is available to everybody. There are no secrets!
You just need to PRACTICE and CRITICALLY think

TUNG BASICS
Top complaints 95% of all cases (over last 3 years 20,000 cases)

Upper neck/shoulder
Low back
PAIN anywhere
Sciatica
Joint pain, knee, elbow, fingers toes, shoulder
Headache, trigeminal neuralgia, tmj jaw pain
Sleep (too much too little)
Stress/depression/anxiety/fatigue/libido/no zest for life
The big 3, heart issues, Type 2 diabetes, Cholesterol

General wellness, general issues, neuropathy, numbness, weirdness
Last resort -Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, tinnitus, MS, auto immune etc

Yes I see many others, like hypoxemic respiratory failure or scarlet fever, but do
we see this all the time?

TUNG BASICS
Ill cover Tung theory as we talk.
Its impossible to cover it all in 1 hour, let along 4 days a normal length Tung seminar
And ill explain the theory, I have many ways to discuss theory this is only one way.
Master Tung theory is deep and rich. Lets keep it simple shall we?
And like gravity, it worksregardless if you get it or you dont. These points are the
same, they work! THERES NO MAGIC! They work better if you know why, but still my
wife who knows nothing of acupuncture could be super successful if I told her what
points to do and she had no idea why.
But one MAIN CONCEPT? Dont try to be Dr. Jesus. See Dao Ma Concept

TUNG BASICS
The Dao Ma Needling Technique of Master Tung Ching-Chang was one of the clinical methods he
most frequently employed. This technique can succinctly be stated as follows: three points are
needled simultaneously to profoundly 'obtain qi' (De Qi) and rapidly effect a cure. Dr. Tung did not
greatly concern himself with 'supplementing' (Bu) or 'draining' (Xie) needle techniques, but rather
with powerfully 'obtaining qi' (De Qi) to influence the 'Reaction Areas' of the points needled. In
this style of acupuncture, the more you obtain the qi, the faster your results will be.
Disease is non-intrinsic object of our body. If you get it, just remove it. Master Tung
Over 60% of Master Tung points are in Dao Mas
Dr. Maher, Advanced Master Tung

TUNG BASICS
Tao tells us of the Great Triad (Heaven-Mankind-Earth) which can be
loosely translated to mean the path from obscurity into manifestation.

3 Depths of needling of every point (dr. wei chi young)

3 needles in a Dao Ma
3 is a very important number
1=1
1+1=3
1+1+1=4
The needles are SYNERGISTIC!

TUNG POINTS
Gu Ci Yi Er San

Bone Spur Points

Gu Ci Er
Bone Spur Two Same as Gu Ci Yi
Gu Ci San
Bone Spur Three Same as Gu Ci Yi
Gu Ci Yi
Bone Spur One
Bone spurs, pain of the vertebrae, traumatic injury of the vertebrae
LI12 is first point, then 2 cun proximal, 2 cun more proximal
CLINICAL APPLICATION
I would suggest clinically these points work better than Ling gu for low back pain. They are just
amazing and they are less painful for western patients. 3 points in a row treat the upper , middle,
lower part of the spine. Where at Ling gu is one point and only treat low back pain. I would
suggest I use these points 70% of time and ling gu 30% of time. They are just that great.

TUNG POINTS
77.01-2-3-4 Reaction areas: Brain and spine
77.01 Zheng Jin/Upright Tendon/In the center of the tendon of calcaneus, 3.5 cun superior to the heel.
77.02 Zheng Zong/ Upright Ancestor Two cun superior to ZhengJin (77.01).
77.03/Zheng Shi/Upright Master 2 cun above 77.02
77.04/ Bo Qiu Two and a half cun superior to ZhenShi (77.03)
Classical indications-cholera morbus (sudden turmoil disorder), aching pain of the back, and nose bleeding.

TUNG POINTS
77.01-2-3 and at time 77.04
CLINICAL APPLICATION
These are YOUR GOTO POINTS for neck pain, on the bone, cervical issues C1-7/T1. If you add in 77.04
then we are treating to around T4 zone. On the spine, DU, and BL channel. And KD channel if you
understand the Jing Jin channels.
I frequently will use 77.-01-2-3-4 with ren 24 for neck pain.
These points can be and are used for low back pain, the image and channel and for brain problem because
of the reaction. I love this points for all the conditions. They are powerful, effective and NOT painful. You
can needle this points on people face up or face down. The key to these points IS THAT YOU MUST TAP
THE BONE to make these points effective. Needle thru the tendon to the bone. That is key.
CONTRARY TO OPINIONS? You can NEEDLE THIS POINT WITH PEOPLE LAYING ON THEIR BACKS!
COME ON! IMPROVISE, OVERCOME, ADAPT!

CLINICAL APPLICATION
These are some of the ONLY points that are truly indicated for GB21 pain. Interesting to note that
these points are on the BL channel. How can they treat GB21 pain? See, Master Tung was aware of
the Jing jin and and tendino muscular relationships. These say that the traps are NOT the GB, but
in actuality the BL. Here master tung point for Trap pain are on the BL channel.
The other clincal application is for diagram, chest breathing issues. The reaction are is the chest
and these points do a lot for breathing, chest constriction tightness.
When we think pain in the upper back? 77.26 should one of the first point groups that comes to our
mind.

QUESTIONS

A life time of learning

Learn 20-40 amazing points, then you can add later on
Learn 1-2-3 top things each point does, thats enough
You wont learn it all today, its impossible.
ONCE YOU FULLY SEE THE THEORY, you will not need the indications, the
indications will come make themselves aware to you

KEYS TO SUCCESS
Expand, overlap, be redundant- once you are awesome? Sure 3-6 points

You must WALK THE PATH

YOU MUST LEARN YOUR OWN TRUTH
