Ancient acupuncture with modern tools.
As I mentioned yesterday, I will be posting a few how-to videos for using some of the new AcuGraph 4 features. Today’s video tip demonstrates the power of the new printing presets, and shows exactly how and when to use them! Enjoy… Don’t forget… AcuGraph 4 discounts all end on... Read more
A very sincere thank you to everyone who has responded with such positive comments about AcuGraph 4 both via email and on the blog. My favorite discourse was with Dr. Ralph Wilson… Via email early in the morning he asks this question: Hi, I seem to have successfully downloaded the... Read more
Hello Everyone, Just taking a quick break from the rush of AcuGraph 4 upgrades to post a tip. I often get asked about graphing children and infants. People want to know if it’s appropriate to do so, and the answer is YES. I originally was introduced to Ryodoraku acupuncture years... Read more
I’ve got good news on a couple of topics for you today. First, since my last post, I’ve heard from a number of you and the message is clear: When can we see AcuGraph 4? And how much longer must we wait to get our hands on a copy? This... Read more
Here’s a tip: Don’t graph your patient if their hands have spent the last few minutes in water. Allow me to illustrate. The other day I decided to graph my wife at home. We had just finished cleaning the kitchen and doing dishes, so her hands had been continually wet... Read more

Question: What’s the difference between the two graphs below? The answer may be a little more complicated than it first appears. As you can see, both of these graphs have exactly the same values for every meridian. In fact, both of these graphs were produced from the same exam. But... Read more
Today’s blog entry is really more of a mini-survey. Let me explain. As professionals, we all tend to gauge our equipment investments based on the potential return on those investment. We buy new equipment, take training courses, select our office location and furnishings, and pretty much make most business decisions... Read more
First of all, thanks to all of you who responded and commented on my last post. I really appreciate your input and the lively conversation. This is exactly what I wanted to see. For today’s post, I’m using a question posed by Dr. Jerry Nesseler: “How can I quickly explain... Read more
We get lots of questions about TCM interpretations of AcuGraph results. TCM practitioners are sometimes confused about how to interpret graph findings that don’t *seem* to agree with their TCM training. One common example is Spleen Excess. What do you do when you see an excessive reading for the Spleen... Read more
