We would like to share with you our personal view, beliefs and approach about the research that is presented on these pages.
We both value the research of modern science and the many developments that have been discovered.
We also value the depth of wisdom and knowledge of traditional and classical five element acupuncture, which integrates the many aspects of body and mind.
We acknowledge the information gained from research, and we endevaour to use it where appropriate when meeting the needs of an individual who is suffering in health.
We hope later to share more information on the five elements of acupuncture.

(2017) Transverse striation needling for 30 cases of cervical spondylosis.
Method. 'Thirty patients were diagnosed with cervical spondylosis. Transverse striation needling, i.e. transverse insertion into the transverse striation of the cervical vertebra, was adopted for the 30 patients, and conventional acupuncture at Fēngchí ( GB 20, bilateral), Jiānjľng ( GB 21, bilateral) and Jiānzhōngshù ( SI 15, bilateral) was combined. The treatment was conducted for once a day, twice a week, and 6 times were needed in total. Follow-
