In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture point functions are the most refined part of a point, derived from its name, location, and channel characteristics, rather than being mere indications or symptoms. For example, the IG12 (Zhǒuliáo) point, meaning 'cavity in the elbow,' has functions such as releasing space, restoring mobility, reducing tension, and unblocking channels, which explain why it can be used for conditions like tennis elbow. Understanding these functions allows practitioners to apply points based on their underlying mechanisms rather than memorizing indications, leading to more clinically sound and argumentative practice.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. I think everything is working well there. Let me see how it's done. Here, here. Uh, I 'm not sure.
I have a microphone that practically speaks for itself, but I'm not sure if I'm broadcasting with that powerful microphone or just with the computer's microphone.
Okay, let's see, then, let me see. Well, welcome to the whole community. After discussing some technical topics here, I'm truly delighted to know that we are such an active community in the field of Chinese medicine, and one of the best features of the community for many of you is that it's free, right? Many of the activities are free.
So, dear Lao, how are you?
Greetings to beautiful Norway. He's already fast asleep over there. Rest in peace, dear Lao. Hey Guille, greetings to Venezuela. I've noticed that we have many students from Venezuela. How nice. This one, blessed one, may your light never go out, dear Glorita. This is the area we'll be walking around in. Pina, what a good question, Pina. When it says that the meridian enters, it means that it passes from a superficial level of the arm to a deeper level. I'll tell you, I'm not going to talk about plans, but if something comes in, then I'll probably change the plans, right? That 's the idea this phrase from the channel conveys, isn't it? So, if it enters, if it has the ability to change planes, then imagine the potential of this point.
After these sessions, I hope that your perspective on what such a ridiculous point can achieve has been completely changed.
Yes.
So, Jenny, how are you? I'm also happy here waiting for the broadcast schedule. Hey, thank you doctor for the wonderful work. A blessed Jenny, and may the blessings be shared. What do you think? For the entire community. Hey, Conchin, greetings to Spain. Let's go for it, Conchin. Wilson. Wilson is a long- time participant, I don't even remember him, Wilson, if he is a formal student of Grupo, you do n't ring a bell, you'll believe it. And Wilson used to always comment first, and now you always beat me to it, Wilson, but we remember you fondly as the first one, right, Wilson? Don't worry.
Patti, good afternoon. Greetings from the city of La Plata, Argentina.
Look, we have a presence throughout the Iberophone world.
We have trained more than 10,000 students around the world.
So, welcome everyone, really. This is Rome, greetings to Nicaragua. Eli, greetings to the Dominican Republic. This is so you can realize the wide range of impact broccoli has. It says here, "Good evening from Argentina, a big hello.
Eagerly awaiting, Joselito. We're almost there. I love it, Joselito, thank you so much for the reminder. Don't forget, look, these activities are n't funded by likes, of course. However, it's the way we know that this is having some kind of impact. I've already told you that, geez, everyone demands that these activities be closed to our paying community.
Please help me help you understand how these activities are received. I know, I know. Perhaps if you share these activities with your acupuncture communities, you'll be showing the secrets of acupuncture to others. And who are those others? Well, your competition. But look, let's not let knowledge stagnate. Give us a like. All you have to do is pick up a little finger, press a blessed button, and I know it's a bit of work, but if you want to help people and And if you want to study, please help us spread the word about these activities.
Share them in your WhatsApp groups, share them in your Telegram groups, share them on your channel. I know, I know. Look, sometimes when I see acupuncture channels dedicated to spreading Chinese medicine, which have a certain popularity, I feel like banging my head against the wall. And you know where that popularity comes from? From the community, from the people who watch the content. So, please help us out with likes, reactions, comments, shares. I know it's hard work, but don't be mean. This is Abrahamcito, ready to receive.
Today we're going to talk about the functions of the point... which point do I use?
So, Panchita, greetings, and we'll see you tomorrow in the live session of module two. Tomorrow I have a live session with the students of module 2 of the diploma in the fundamentals of Chinese medicine. See you there, Panchita, greetings, and get studying!
Very good, Panchita.
Chule, how are you? Let's continue learning about the blessed Chiao. We 're almost at the finish line, don't worry. Greetings from Colombia, Shimbao. You reminded me of a great teacher I have, Professor Arturo Gómez Mera. He's passionate about Shimbao. I'll have the chance to talk about it sometime soon. Hey, greetings.
Remember, as Ana María mentioned, we share a PDF document with you each week to complement this session. That document is only shared directly with our community.
So, Almita is kindly sharing the link in the comments section—what's that called? I think it's in the YouTube comments section. Almita, if you could share it on Facebook too. Wonderful, isn't it? Hey, greetings, everyone, greetings to you. I'm looking forward to the classes here, Luisito. Here. Oh, thank you so much, Almita. Hey, also, don't be shy, leave a like, greetings.
Whenever you're communicating on social media, you'll be chatting with Almita behind the scenes, so please send comments. You'll soon realize that we're active on social media. Thanks to whom?
Thanks to Almita. So, we pay her a ton of money to lend us a hand. So, give her some work, Almita. Hey, Liele, how are you? Lili is one of our students in the diploma program on the fundamentals of acupuncture in Chinese medicine, beyond the... Listen to the exquisite title of the diploma program. Tomorrow we'll be live with the students of module two, dear Lili, I'll see you there. It's so nice to have you here, isn't it? Um, Martita Migalis, your name sounds familiar as a student in module one of the diploma program. I see Anesca here, how are you?
Danesa, of course You're a student in the diploma program. Hey namesake, how are you? I'm so glad, namesake, that you're always active on the platform. That's great. Uh, namesake. Go ahead. Uh, my namesake had to be Daniela because, well, we Daniels are top-notch, top-notch.
Uh, my namesake is a student in the acupuncture fundamentals diploma program and she's very active on the platform. I'm so glad because, look, many students, it's true, this type of training we offer isn't for everyone because they have to sit down, be disciplined, and watch a video attentively. For example, right now the people who are connected amaze me because it means they still have the ability to concentrate, even though I 'm wandering around who knows where right now, but congratulations, uh, and right now concentration is a benefit. So, there you see my namesake very focused on the recordings, watching her sessions. Uh, our diplomas are offered virtually. So, go ahead, Daniel. You had to It 's Daniela. We Daniels, you know how we Daniels are, right?
Um, Chuchin, how are you?
Chuchin, greetings.
Ganijo Chamaco, how are you? Welcome. I've already forgotten your name, I'll remember it in a minute. Don't worry. Pay attention to the session. It's a student from your diploma program, module 1. I'll remember his name in a minute, I'll tell you. Belli, how are you? It had to be our student. Welcome, dear Beli Maripo, how are you?
Welcome. I haven't seen you before.
Welcome to these activities. In these activities, remember, we do them every week. So, look, welcome everyone. Uh, it's a pleasure to greet you. It's a pleasure to greet you from the different time zones of the world.
Uh, I must tell you that we are the largest Spanish-speaking community for the study of Chinese medicine in Spanish.
So welcome. For those who know me, my name is Daniel Le. I'm a doctor by profession, and I specialized in human acupuncture. I did postgraduate studies in Chinese medicine at Nanin. I earned a master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Taiwan, and I 'm currently a doctoral candidate at Chongo Atache University, which translates roughly to the Taiwan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
So, look, I feel I have the academic qualifications, the necessary academic expertise, to offer this kind of activity, which I'm calling for a kind of revolution.
Governments are going to start banning the channel now, but I'm calling the current situation in Chinese medicine a kind of revolution.
What is it that I'm here doing a little dance and telling you, "This little point is really good for the head, really good for the head." And in a minute you're already saying, "Oh, I'm an acupuncture genius!" I learned that this little point is really good for the head."
Contrary to what commonly happens on social media, where knowledge is fast, fluid, dynamic, watery, disappearing in minutes, these activities are intended to counteract this effect. Now, look, I now appreciate seeing human error.
I used to read an email and see someone with a spelling mistake and think, "Oh, this ridiculous person doesn't even know how to spell." And now I appreciate it because it means that if an email has a spelling mistake, it wasn't written with artificial intelligence.
So, look, what this type of activity tries to do is a long session in which we digest an acupuncture point in its different parts, its name, its location, its functions over the course of several hours with the purpose of rescuing a point from oblivion.
And this rescued point, I hope that by now, for those who have followed these sessions, the point of this series has been the Trown point. And I hope that by now, the people who have followed this series from beginning to end... Finally, I hope you know how to use this point knowledgeably, with arguments, with sound criticism, not just as a " good thing to do" kind of thing, please.
Yes, if any of you have managed to do this, congratulate yourselves because you have understood Chinese medicine in its argumentative soundness, in its poetic art, right? Chinese medicine isn't just a list of little recipes that, look, when you cook, when you prepare a stew, you add onion, you add garlic, you add salt, you add bell pepper, chili, etc., meat.
This is a recipe, but even then, just following a written recipe, well, guess what you have to do. Taste it to see how the seasoning turned out and adjust it. It works the same way in acupuncture. What you have to do is know this point, why am I mentioning it?
Because it's very good for kidney stones, not acupuncture. So, what do I have to do? Come and study with the group, even if it's just for an hour a week, okay? So, let's see, Look, in these activities, what we do is rescue points from oblivion. You in your clinics are probably very used to using the same points and the same 20 points as always. These activities are designed so that these points, which may have a very important cultural history, come out of oblivion.
Let me see over here. Odysseus says, "Master, good evening." I'm the one with the acupuncture face and I want to tell you that your classes have changed me and given me more confidence with you. How nice.
Depending on the country. Look, this, I'm very happy, I say. Hey, and look, don't start arguing with your teachers, okay? Sometimes this happens to me: you come and listen to something with me, and then you go to your teacher and say, "Hey, teacher, I learned this, I read it, I learned it by reading.
This makes sense." And your teacher, trying to maintain his position of authority, you tell him, "No, not at all. That's completely false because 5 x 5 is 45 and the radius is squared. So no, don't pit knowledge against each other, okay? Just you, using your own judgment, say, does what this guy is telling me have critical coherence? Does it have logical coherence? Give it a try. If not, remove him from your system. Okay?
But remember, in Spanish, unfortunately, you have to maintain your standards. In Spanish, there isn't a tradition of 'I'm from the lineage of the... of the... of the Castrejón acupuncture.'
No, it doesn't exist. No, because a professor doesn't have such a solid foundation of knowledge. Most people in Spanish don't have a solid foundation of knowledge. I even dare to say that many of those professors are listening to this talk, and I love it because at the very least, by immersing themselves in knowledge, they can transmit it.
You go and pay them, and here you receive the knowledge for free. They're no more than that." Good, that's for sure.
So, welcome, he says, "Hi, I'm running late, we're just about to start, don't worry. And today we have a slightly long day ahead."
Margarita, greetings. He's also my grandson. Oh, that's great. That's it. We have several babies getting acupuncture.
Get him studying, eh, that little rascal Isaac, welcome. Professor Lee, thank you for your willingness, and we're doing this to rescue Chinese medicine from oblivion, to avoid this fluidity. Perhaps you think that seeing the... and... and... I... I struggle with the idea of being short. I drastically opposed it.
However, you might see a one-minute short and think that with that minute you've already learned Chinese medicine. I'm not afraid to tell you no. That's fluid, it's water, it's garbage.
You need structural solidity, well- reasoned solidity. Agreed?
Here, Almita, I'll leave you the link in the comments so you can join the WhatsApp community if you have the chance.
Oh, good heavens, that's what you didn't tell us, Martita. Isaac is 9 years old. Do you know how acupuncture was learned in... Ancient China, dear Martita? Yes. You saw that Isaac was a bit mischievous, a bit restless. So I'd say, well, that Dr. Daniel gave me this idea, he pretends to know so much, that he has so many degrees. And you'd send him to me, you had to pay me, you had to give me a bag of gold and silver, you had to prepare food for me, something.
And I'd say, well, come on, Isaac.
Isaac spent a lot of time with me, and the first step for Isaac to become a good acupuncturist was to memorize the classic books of Chinese medicine. Once he had them memorized, I was going to test him. Okay, Isaac, tell me what the third line says in such and such section.
When Isaac was able to tell me that, he would be my disciple.
So, welcome, Isaac. Go on, go on, get to studying. Your future is Chinese medicine. Uh, very good, Martita.
So, welcome everyone.
What are we going to work on today?
The forgotten point of the show. So, look, what we do is break down an acupuncture point into its different parts: its location, its name, and its functions. And today we're going to talk about the functions of Large Intestine 2.
I'm curious about a comment someone made: "If this acupuncture point doesn't do anything for the intestines, why does it belong to the Large Intestine channel?"
There are many points that behave very similarly, and that's why this point might have been forgotten. It also depends a lot on your academic level regarding Chinese medicine and the different theories you're familiar with. For example, right now in the Fundamentals Diploma program, in module one, my students already know Win's theory, which is the one commonly taught in Spanish, and they're currently refining that theory with the help of organic physiology.
Later, we'll talk about the channel theory and the six-stage theory, for example, with the students in module two. We'll start talking about the six-stage theory soon. Stages. So, let's see, the knowledge of Chinese medicine was presented through different theoretical blocks, and the construction of an acupuncture point manifested itself at a historical level.
Look, now, if a gentleman, Dr. Chapaito, Dr. Chapaito, invents a cranial acupuncture system that he's directed to, so he invents it, and this Dr. Chapaito tells them, "This is really good, it's even better." But look, look at what Dr. Chapaito just invented. It's what, what, three years old.
Guess how many years of analysis, constant study, trial and error acupuncture points have.
So, look, if Dr. Chapaito invents an acupuncture point, doesn't that mean it's better than a point that has history, culture, and medical tradition?
Precisely, these activities arise from the idea of rescuing this instead of inventing new things.
So, look, look at the functions of an acupuncture point, and I want you to listen to this. Clearly.
This should, Zorrilla would tell me, I should be charging you for it, and I literally agree that I should be charging you for it.
An acupuncture point has several parts. The most refined part, in terms of historical, cultural, and medical knowledge, is something known as, well, my camera. It's something known as functions.
So, I know that many of the books you use to train are only good for propping up your tables.
If your table is wobbly on one leg, you grab the book, put it under it—what a useless table, right?
I hope that very soon you will have access to the material on acupuncture points from the Lee Group, because I promise you it's a gem. I'm sure it will revolutionize the study of Chinese medicine in Spanish.
And as I've already told you, I recently spoke with the supervisor of the Chinese medicine program in Spanish at the university here in Taiwan.
I told him, "Listen, we're going to publish several books." He and I are graduates of his university. "Are you interested in participating in some way as editors or something like that?" Guess what they told me. No.
Chinese medicine in Spanish is literally forgotten. Even you're training with books that were translated from Chinese to English, from English to Spanish. A certain Dr. Chapaito invented I don't know what, and improved I do n't know what else. So, I hope that the books from the " Revolution of Acupuncture Points" group, when you open a book on acupuncture, on acupuncture points, if you check the titles of each point, one is its location, another is its name, and suddenly they put these shoddy, cheap translations there that who knows where they got them from. I think they put them in Google Translate and that's how they put them. I've already realized the potential that the name of an acupuncture point has, and another is its uses and functions.
Yet another is the indications.
Commonly, Chinese medicine in Spanish is practiced based on the indications.
So you say, "Cho Leo is very good for tennis elbow, for the elbow of the surfer, for the footballer's elbow and for the elbow of I don't know how many sports they invent. But guess what, what they're quoting me for are instructions.
What I want them to understand for the benefit of their clinical practice is that an acupuncture point is used based on its functions.
Because guess what it took for us to know that the acupuncture point does all this.
The in-depth analysis of its name, its location, and its uses. The trial and error of its uses. And who tested it?
Dr. Chapaito.
No, it was tested by hundreds of doctors throughout the course of Chinese cultural history. That's why an acupuncture point has so much value, because it is history, it is culture, it is medical tradition.
Dr. Chapadito can invent vitamin H and vitamin J right now, but vitamin H needs time evaluation, something that acupuncture points already have.
So why study Dr. Chapaito's techniques when we have history in our hands? What's the problem? They don't have a foundation to review them on. They don't have the structure.
These sessions are designed to help you acquire the structure, do you realize that?
Yes.
So, don't think that the functions are Dr. Chapaito's invention. Dr. Chapadito put, this point looks really nice. Will it then help to relax the elbow? No no.
Functions are a conglomeration of the characteristics that a point of acuity possesses, its location, its function.
your name, your directions.
Yes. And look, one of the things that sometimes makes me poetically marvel— I'm a romantic, as I've already told you—is how a doctor from ancient China began to analyze the clinical effectiveness of this point, just as I presented it to you systematically. Do n't you think the Chinese guy said one night he fell asleep and suddenly, just like what happens to Dr. Chapaito, one night he fell asleep and oh my God, I dreamed a point, I'm going to write it down and it's really good for the elbow, and for the tennis player's elbow, the surfer's elbow, the soccer player's elbow, and the elbow of which one, which other one will be good for, the elbow of the American soccer player, please. OK? Understand that acupuncture points are not spontaneous, sporadic developments. Did you notice the structure of this acupuncture point that lies in its name, its location, and the channel it belongs to? We even talked about the route of his channel. Yes, very good, very good.
Odysseus says here, " When will those books be published?" Look, Odysseus, we have a long history. For those who have joined, I won't make it too long. Basically, we have about twenty-something books pending publication. This is material that I have been translating and adapting during my training. We have very valuable books, however, we haven't had the luck, we haven't been lucky enough to find a first publisher. We don't want to throw them in the trash. I've even suggested that we should give them away. Spanish-speaking people don't buy books, they only buy books by some white European guy with nice hair.
Yes, they do buy books there, but they don't sell books about Chinese medicine in Spanish. So, we had a publishing proposal, then COVID hit, then the geopolitical issue with Taiwan came up, a disaster. So, right now we're opting for self-publishing, you could say. However, there are so many problems there, but we're going to wait until we have at least three or four publications ready so that they have an additional bibliography to the ones they already have. One, two, so that they have a solid bibliography.
Solid, not only solid enough to support their tiny desks, but solid in terms of argumentation.
Remember Chinese medicine, you already realized that. How beautiful it is when it's argued, how beautiful it is when it's beautifully critical, isn't it? That's what it's all about, the exponential leap of Chinese medicine in Spanish, right? It says here, that's a good question.
Besides everything that has been explained, what effect can Chulia have? The functioning of the large intestine and the lung. That's how it is. So, look, Chulia belongs to the large intestine canal, dear Chucho, only because she got the canal. Because? Because the theory of channels and collaterals was developed at a different historical moment.
Sometimes I even like to say that they were first conceived, don't think that, like, the Chinese guy said, "Okay, there are channels, right?
And these channels have points, right?" I like to think that the points were first analyzed independently and then correlated with channels. Very interesting, isn't it?
Such a short-sighted view. That's right.
Look, there's an author named Bauman who says that society today is liquid, nothing is solid, nothing has any structure, nothing has any argument.
And we're going to see that in the videos. You, for example, when you watch even a short video of ours, you'll suddenly realize that there's a lack of information. The purpose of these longer sessions is to give you context, information, argument. Yes. Yes.
This site, the book of points, you'll be among the first to find out. You, Nutriacer, you're one of the students, I always forget your name. Nutriacer, you're very stingy, we say in Mexican slang. Um, I remember now, too. Your name. Um, you students, Nutrire is a student, our diploma program will be among the first to learn about the publications, and I hope they will revolutionize the world of Chinese medicine studies in Spanish. I proposed this to the president of the Chinese medicine degree program at the university here in Taiwan. Do you know what he told me? Okay, but we're not interested. Chinese medicine in Spanish is forgotten. Literally.
I'm sure, and he says, they will be a treasure. I'm sure. They will revolutionize the practice. We're no longer inventing the reconstructive energetic biomagnetism of Dr. Chapatín's bromolecular acupuncture.
We're not talking about Chinese medicine from its roots.
So, let's see, look, these are the functions of the show point. These are the written functions. I've already talked about this in some other live streams, which you've probably forgotten or weren't listening to, so I'll say it again. In Chinese medicine, for example, in the degree program here in Taiwan, we use a foundational book, and it's a book that is frequently updated.
Right now, for example, we're on the sixth edition, if I'm not mistaken, which has received a lot of criticism because they've removed some things, added others, and so on, right?
And in those books, the functions of the points are standardized.
One, one, one. So, these descriptions I'm giving you are the standardized functions of this acupuncture point.
But all these functions, I want you to remember, originate from its name. For example, let's see, we're talking about how the name of the point means "cavity in the elbow," right?
So, why did I put it in big letters in case it still was n't clear?
Why then does it "release space"? Well, this point releases space, restores mobility, reduces tension, allows passage. From where? From the buttocks.
And I hope, I hope that right now at home you're thinking, " This elbow is ridiculous, ridiculous." And why?
Why?
Because of its name, because of its channel.
I was talking to you in the previous session, the channel in Its path, in its specific classic description, enters the outer edge of the elbow.
And where is the Chlea point?
At the level of the outer edge of the elbow. One of the theories was that this point is the access point, the cavity for entering the canal. Therefore, I told you about the whiplash microsema.
Why does this whiplash microsema have argumentative basis?
Because the point has the capacity to mobilize the entire canal.
It has the capacity to influence the entire canal. Because this point is useful for unblocking the nose. Because the nose is a cavity, the point is a cavity.
It enters a cavity, cavity, cavity, cavity, cavity, cavity. So, it will also be good for modifying other cavities, such as the eye or the anus.
Hold on, I'm going back. What's it called? Cavity in the elbow. So, what cavity specifically does it work for? For the cavities that post- occupy areas have territory around the canal and its access.
So the canal reaches the nose, why does it open the nose? Why doesn't it open the ear?
Why doesn't it open the urethra? Do you understand? So, all these functions, look, it relaxes. What? The elbow. It promotes joint movement. Which one?
The knee, the elbow. It relaxes the tendons. Which ones? The elbow tendons. And it activates the channels. Which ones?
The large intestine channel, the channels surrounding the elbow.
It unblocks the channel and relieves pain.
So, if I have a headache, this point will be very good. It doesn't unblock the channel, and it relieves elbow pain, activates the blood, and disperses stagnation. From where? From the liver.
No, from the elbow.
Yes.
So, look, I've told you about several stimulation techniques based on their functions. So, look, when you read an acupuncture book, even one by Dr. Chapaito, you read his book, which is really great, and in Dr. Chapaito's book it says, "I invented a new point." Oh, wow, how wonderful, because I saw it in my Dreams. Good, Father, right? Okay.
So you read in the functions, and in the functions, the point will be that says all this, all this, all this has its origin in the location, in the name, in the channel. And all this is history, cultural history, medical history.
Yes, please treasure it.
Look, I know there will be a lot of lycopodium around here. Those who know homeopathy will understand me and will say, "No, I already knew all this." No, I was already practicing this 80 years ago. " You're just ridiculous, you say it so beautifully." But I already knew that.
But honestly, look, being humble, tell me, who among you used this acupuncture point before seeing this session?
And you'll realize that this point, that's why I forgot about it.
So, look at this stimulation technique. You'll remember I told you we have different ways of mobilizing the point, and this point is very sensitive to directions.
Right? So, why? Because look at this hole, where does the sand fall from?
Everywhere.
So, by its very nature, by its ability to enter the channel, it has the capacity to modulate the directions.
Right?
So, look, I know this might not interest you because all you want is to help people. Oh, and it's just that I fell in love with Chinese medicine, but then you see the biomagnetic pair going by over there.
Oh, how cool. Oh, I fell in love with the biomagnetic pair too. And so... Moving on to homeopathy. Oh, I've already fallen in love with homeopathy too. Why am I so easily infatuated? Why did God make me so in love?
So, listen to what I'm about to tell you. I literally approve of Zorrilla's idea that it should be charged for.
Pay close attention.
The acupuncture points in Dr. Chapaito's books have a section that's relevant to all of you in Spanish, which is the indications.
There's a much deeper topic to discuss here.
However, look, the indications are: the point is good for rhinitis, the point is good for immunity, the point is good for the flu, the point is good for gastritis.
But what I just showed you about the Chulia acupuncture point are its functions.
The functions explain exactly what a point does, using the logic of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The indications explain symptoms, illnesses, and conditions for which an acupuncture point can or cannot be used.
So, look, you who are... You are privileged to be connected to this session, and I hope you are paying attention. The next time you see someone in an acupuncture forum asking, "Tell me points for rhinitis," the first thing you should think is, " This person is destroying Chinese medicine."
The second thing you should think is, "This person has no idea how acupuncture is done."
The third thing you should think is, " Invite them to the live sessions with Crúpoli."
And the fourth thing is, "They are thinking in terms of indications."
Now that you are present in this session, I am going to ask you to think of an acupuncture point in terms of its functions.
And I want you to realize that these functions are not abstractions; they come from the location, the name of the channel, and the characteristics and qualities.
Right?
So, let's see, the functions are the most historically, culturally, and medically refined part of an acupuncture point. If I tell you, " This point is good for rhinitis," I am talking about an indication. And this is false, isn't it? The point Choulea can be used—look at my face—it can be used for rhinitis. Listen, doctor, so it can be used for sinusitis too. Look at my face, it can also be used for sinusitis. But what if I tell you? This acupuncture point opens the nostril.
Oh, man.
Imagine all the possible indications I give you.
So, if you say, "This point is really good for elbow pain," that's an indication.
It's if you don't practice Chinese medicine, you're dedicated to conventional medicine, you're students of conventional medicine, and you diagnose that a patient has tennis elbow, wonderful, because they have alterations in obduction, pronation, and retroflexion. Okay, I'll let it slide because you don't know Chinese medicine, you don't study Chinese medicine. But if you are students of Chinese medicine, then you should use the language of Chinese medicine, please.
So, when a person tells me, "This point will be good for immunity," what I do first is block to that person.
Then I report it as spam, I report it as pingim, and I report it as a pervert, and then I realize that this person has no idea what Chinese medicine is. And look at the practice of Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture, in Spanish.
It's degraded, a cartoon, a cartoon that Dr. Chapaito tells you, unfortunately, and Dr. Chapaito does translations from English to Spanish, from Spanish to I don't know which two languages and in the end Dr. Chapaito has seriously damaged the practice of acupuncture in Spanish. I am going to ask you to please study in depth the acupuncture points of the hands and their functions. Of course, a guide is important, and that's why I'm here. However, at the rate we're going, we'll finish by the time I turn 80, won't we? From now until I see them on the other side. So, this is because they realize the amount of information that an acupuncture point has. I mean, I don't know, I don't know if they'll land it without ego. Okay, look, tell me, where did all that information about this ridiculous point that I didn't even use come from?
Yes. Now, imagine the famous spots. In our course, for example, on acupuncture point selection techniques, I present many of the famous points, but imagine the amount of information there is about a famous point. For example, look, uh, Jin Seneng is a famous plant, it has to be studied. In the theory of Chinese medicine, we have two volumes of a book of this size.
To study trusan in the theory of Chinese medicine, we would need two volumes of this size.
Yes, just so you get an idea, right? I had a sponsor named Fucán who gave me a budget to make some videos of famous points countering this series of forgotten points.
And look, in the syllabus he gave me, the first point to review was Susan Le; there must be a video I made somewhere in there.
And suddenly when I started working on the point in its analysis, holy crap, I said, "No, with this point it's going to take me about 15 years to work on it."
So, look at the richness of an acupuncture point, okay?
This, over here, Nerit, uh, we make several calls around here. Send an email so they can send you all the courses we have. Look, it's really expensive, and all I want to do is help people.
We have free courses, we have paid courses so those who complain too much, send an email and they will send them to you.
Hey Luzma, acupuncture is beautiful and must be complex. Look, when you suddenly realize something, it 's very easy, why is that? Listen, look, I can learn it in a month, in a weekend course, I already learned it. Why is that? Because Dr. Chapadito is teaching me well, or only halfway, or because the technique is very easy, or because, what could be happening?
Yes. So, acupuncture is wonderful. And see its complexity.
Yes.
The acupuncturist's reasoning cannot be taught. It's not taught, look, because it's known from recipes or I don't know what happens, dear Hannibal.
Honestly, I don't know what's going on in Spanish.
Chinese medicine is at its worst in Spanish. Right now, with the liquidity that knowledge has, it is at its worst.
I congratulate you for being involved in these activities and for still being able to capture your attention. Yeah, that's wonderful and it's going to give them that extra boost. Yes, this way Dranos, master, the book of 101 diseases. I don't love this one, check it out, but I don't love it.
This, that's a book, no, I don't know the author, I don't know if he's still alive, but that's a book from a newsstand, literally in Mexico I've seen it at newsstands.
So, I recommend the following. Before the Grupo Le book on acupuncture points is published, which is three volumes, listen carefully, a three-volume acupuncture book.
Ah, cool, but my book only has 200 pages, but it was written by the master doctor Chapaito.
So, it's not good. He went to China for a visit, but he went to China.
So, what would that be like?
Open Dr. Chapadito's book, open another book, open three books and compare them for me, please.
Don't believe Chapaito, don't believe Chapatingas, don't believe Chipitunguis, believe the argument, the criticism that comes from you and use these theoretical tools that I give you to evaluate the quality of a material. If this acupuncture point in any of the books of Chapatito, Chapatingas and Chapatunguis, says that it is good for treating the buttocks, please say, then don't go out. So Dr. Daniel is deceiving us.
Gossipy, because Dr. Chapatungas says it's really good for the buttocks and he told us it's good for the elbow. Gossipy opinion.
And that depends on you. They need to apply judgment to their knowledge.
When they go to any course, they usually suddenly pay for a Grupo Le course, go to a course that teaches them something in a weekend. Go. But while they are sitting there acquiring as much knowledge as possible, because they adore and love knowledge, let them say, let's see, with discernment, was what I learned enough, where does it come from, etc. The person who teaches it has the necessary licenses. Ah, he went to China.
Ah, but for a stroll. That's what they didn't tell you. Oh, very good. So, let's see. Yes, it is very important that they apply sound judgment to their training programs.
Yes. Very good.
I'd like to know who Dr. Chapadito is, or if there are several of them, you know?
Dr. Chapadito, Dr. Chapatungas, and Dr. Chapatingos.
Then they say, "That's right, that's right, Anita. That was a sponsored activity, and the idea was to present everything. The sponsorship was cut off, there was no response from the community because there were no reactions, no comments, nobody shared anything.
Because, what do they share?
I do a little dance, and then they share it because look how ridiculous the doctor looks, just so people can make fun of him, right? Then they share it. So, that's why, my dears, the Susan activity was canceled because there was no response from people.
These sessions were almost canceled because there are no reactions, no shares, no comments, but if I come right now and do a really ridiculous salsa dance, then yes, because I 'm not good at dancing. Then they share it. Oh, I share it. Look how ridiculous that ridiculous guy looks. Then they share it, now they share it.
I'd like to learn; in my country they only teach one day, I don't think that's enough, that's the standard. And I know, look, suddenly they say, well, I've already failed my Career, well, what I want to do is study quickly to help people.
So, I studied this short course and now I'm going to help people, help people.
Where's the money? Well, guess what, you're not going to fill a waiting room, you need dedication, effort, study.
Look, a lot of what I say to the students enrolled in the diploma programs we offer is that I assure them that upon completing one of our free or paid training courses, listen carefully, they will increase their confidence and they will increase the number of patients. That's what happens when you study, there's no other way.
Very good, Anita.
Also Twina acupuncture, not just massage. That's Twina. Imagine how widespread acupuncture is at this level in Spanish. Now, imagine how widespread Chicón is, how widespread Twina is, how widespread all these hand techniques are. Yes. Very good, very good. Look, then, let's see.
One of the most famous indications of the point Chowout, instructions. I hope the difference is clear.
How do I want you to think about an acupuncture point in terms of its functions? What I just told you, I promise you should be charging for it, and I promise you that if you paid attention, it will solve many of the clinical dilemmas you currently face. What do you have to do, unfortunately?
Memorize them. Oh, no, but I just want to help people. You have to memorize things. Someone who really wants to, I do n't know, make money, right?
Listen to how ridiculous that sounds.
Okay? So, um, here Alvarito says, "I'm in the United States, and I'm a Nicaraguan who studied at a Japanese university, and today I'm working here." I want and ask for more information to continue learning.
I look forward to your helpful information. It will be a pleasure. At some point, look, I liked to say that in the United States the level of information was better because there are Chinese medicinal plants, so the level of information was better.
Right now, with the closure of all programs, with this cold war, literally, one of the ones, well, this is a very complex issue, take it with care, but one of the ones punished in this cold war between China and the United States has been Chinese medicine. Think about it, the Chinese medical universities have closed. Because?
Curious. So, at this literal level, right now many Americans are looking for places to practice, because the practice, acupuncture, is no longer becoming established.
Suddenly they'll see Dr. Chapatico, Chapatico writing books in Spanish.
This little dog is fantastic. So, historically, the location of individual points came first, and then the channels. That's right, dear Chucho. Just imagine how many acupuncture points were lost. That's what Tong's house did, and they too, oh, how they love it, have already fallen in love with another acupuncture.
So this tung tung, as they say in Spanish, which in Chinese is called tong, the teacher, uh, Tom, this uh, he historically described points and acupuncture, but he developed a specific school of study for his system.
that is not related to the channels.
In Spanish, what's happening? Ah, the point is, the 10 little legs of the frog are really good for colitis.
They are simplifying Tom's art.
As a good Taiwanese student, I have a lot of knowledge about Tom.
Why don't I spread the word?
Because if they don't know basic Chinese medicine, why is our flagship diploma program called "Diploma in Fundamentals of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine"? Because I realized they don't know basic Chinese medicine.
Suddenly one of our diploma programs is language diagnosis. Then people started studying tongue diagnosis with us, and suddenly I realized that you always ask, "Is it toned, is it dispersed?" The earth, the glass, the wood, they don't know Chinese medicine. That's why we started teaching Chinese medicine. So I would recommend not starting with Tong unless you're literally starting with almost a disciple studying here in Taiwan, right?
Well, Chinese medicine is much more effective than conventional medicine, although there are advances, and it has no negative side effects. Let me think about it. I'm a little against not doing it anymore. If it weren't for conventional medicine, we would die at 40.
If we didn't brush our teeth, we would die at 40. And you know, all these advances were thanks to modernity. We're not fighting, Nutri, don't worry. Hey Dela, don't worry, Delia, we 're not fighting. We only work from our trenches, with our language, right?
And Delia, Delia is a student, our diploma program, he knows that perfectly well.
Here in a strip that's appearing on the screen, you'll see the email there. I know, he's very small. I wouldn't want it written on my computer.
You'll see the email there.
That's how it is. The only way we know this somehow generates some kind of interest in you, even if it disgusts you, is because you already knew all this, the things this ridiculous person says don't stop you at all, because you've been practicing it for 80 years.
Put a sad face, or I don't know what face you can put on social media, a sad face or something, a thumbs down, I do n't know if you can, put there that it disgusts you and leave a comment. This disgusts me, doesn't it? Even if it's just to give us an idea, right? Very good. So, look, one of the most famous indications of the ticked spot, uh, the large intestine spot 12, which you already realized loses all its usefulness. The issue was designed for you, for the foreign community that wanted to study acupuncture.
Here in Taiwan, my Taiwanese students shouldn't think I'm at point 12 of the large intestine. Uh, I do n't tell them the choleado point.
Yes. Why? Because of cultural richness. Oh no, but it's in Chinese. I just want to help people, help them a lot, and they can pay me if they want.
So one of the points here says, "I agree that conventional medicine fails in chronic diseases; it only treats symptoms." No, be careful, we're not fighting. Hey, I'm a doctor of conventional medicine and we're not at all at odds. Uh, no, no, no, no.
Put a fight here. I already checked the diagnosis. You are a student in our language diagnostic course. Review the fundamentals, because you might be missing something. And keep at it with a steady hand. In pulse diagnosis you'll find it useful because in pulse diagnosis, right? Yes, yes. In pulse diagnosis I teach them the art of meditation, the art of concentration, the art of focus. You're going to love it, Anita.
So, look, the Chulia point, one of its most frequent, most referred indications is the very famous tennis elbow. And now, look, I want you to imagine the following scene.
A person who does not have to work to live because they have a well-resolved economic life. In the afternoons we go to play a little tennis, squash, padel, which they've changed the name of now. So, oh boy, he relaxes a little, he has a good salary, maybe he has a nice company there, something, and suddenly, oh, he starts to get a pain in his elbow, on the outside of his elbow. Yes.
And she says, "Oh, I'm going to my physical therapist because she has major medical insurance. I'm going to my orthopedist to see if I need surgery."
This happens in the upper middle economic spheres, but in the economic spheres in which we are commonly accustomed to seeing our patients, the famous tennis elbow should not be called tennis elbow, it should be called the housewife's elbow, the worker's elbow.
So, look, if a person, for example, uses a screwdriver, they may possibly have lateral picocondylitis or the famously misnamed tennis elbow. They call it tennis elbow in the star-studded circles, right?
So, our actual patients arrive with this condition. Just so you know, because I was mopping, because I was drying the rag, the cloth for drying, for cleaning the floor, my elbow started to hurt on the side. Almost exactly at the level of the chleado point. Almost exactly at the level of the chleado point.
This patient, for example, says that he drills this with an instrument, then he started with discomfort and this wouldn't be tennis elbow, it would be vibrating tool elbow. Suddenly, a housewife who carries buckets and pails of water has a tendency, through repetition, to develop tennis elbow.
My dear friends, in the next session we will talk about stimulation methods for tennis elbow. OK? Let's review a few questions and comments from the community to close today's session, which was extremely relevant. Oh, but he didn't even tell us how to use anything. I hope you have treasured what I told you in this session, which is extremely relevant. OK?
Um, very good, very good. Go ahead, Anita.
Pulse diagnosis. We're not against it, but doctors are against acupuncture, and they say YouTubers and physiotherapy are bad. Yes, well, there's a lack of a little bit of judgment there.
Look, this is true, we have to be careful. We too must defend ourselves using Chinese medicine. I am at an intermediate point because I am a doctor of conventional medicine and I am an expert in Chinese medicine. No, I'm not an expert, I'm an academic in Chinese medicine. No, so it's because the expert says he came to China on vacation, right? Expert, master knowledgeable in Chinese medicine. So here I am in this in-between world. Sometimes I find it difficult to explain to doctors, for example, that acupuncture has tangible benefits, that is, not only as a psychological therapy, right? Tangibles. Yes, but it's true. the hairdressing profession. That's right, Shelly, so much drying of hair, so much doing this movement, so much repetitive movement causes inflammation in a specific area.
So, patients have this tennis elbow, lateral epicondylitis, this is very, very common in the clinic.
Uh, that's right, Kenny Germita. They just have tennis elbow, because those who play tennis, and I think that of the world's population, not even 1% of people play tennis. Uh, tennis is a sport for a medium-high standard, right? Upper middle class. Well, at some point, I'm not upper middle class, but at some point I got curious and you have to buy rackets, replace the racket, I think every time you play because these ones weaken, buy special shoes, special clothes, pay the court rental, well it's tough, isn't it? Best game at home with the Nintendo, right?
This point lubricates the elbow joint. Be careful, Margarita. If you're not going to start influencing our star student there.
functions. What you said is true, it's a bold statement, bold, but remember, functions.
A patient comes in and says, "Oh, I have a lack of lubrication in my elbow."
You're going to say, "So, let's see, I'm going to activate the blood and diffuse stagnation in this patient's elbow using the choleo point."
Yes. You don't say, 'Hey, I'm going to lubricate it right now,' you don't just spit on it to lubricate the elbow even more. No no. Hey, be careful with those statements. Hey, Con, thank you so much. No matter how much I explain it to them. I don't think he understands me. I don't know if I'm speaking Chinese, I'm not speaking English. What language am I using? We need Kong.
Con is a student in our module one diploma program and she is an expert in sign language. I don't know if I said it right with "if not, scold me". So, I need Const here to be here, doing this so that you understand me. I don't know, tell me so we can let Con know and connect her here live, and also tell them things to pay attention to.
This says this point Delia, this point could include the problem of where Achilles Delia is. I now have enough authority to ask Yul to remove you from the diploma program. Well, you're talking nonsense.
Remember, what is the name of this point?
Onta. Onta. Let's see.
The cavity in the elbow. This character shows the elbow.
So, if you were to tell me, this spot is good for the Achilles tendon.
Where is the Achilles tendon? On the ankle, on the heel.
The answer would be, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. And suddenly you'll stop seeing the screen because I've already unsubscribed you. It 's not pchame. I hope that's perfectly clear, okay?
Ah, that's totally right, look at the function more than the indication. That's how it is.
Please, please, the next time you see someone on a forum asking for points for rhinitis, please block them.
Stop wasting time giving him points for rhinitis and go study your book by Dr. Chapaito, at least.
Not to fight, of course. The thing is, most doctors are like that, and that's where the problems lie, right? My student with a handsome man, as always. Greetings, dear. Martita, how are you, Martita? And that goes without saying about body massage therapists.
That's how it is. This is where many problems start. Look, Chinese medicine in Spanish has many problems due to a lack of government regulations, for many reasons, right? Well, what else can we do but study?
For someone who works in cafeterias where food is served, that's how it is.
People who carry very heavy trays will suddenly realize that they get lateral itching.
Tennis elbow is a very common condition and we will review it in the next session. I'm going to give you stimulation techniques, and I hope that with this introduction it has become clear what I mean by tennis elbow. OK.
He says, "I have tennis elbows, but that's from practicing." Exactly.
Boxing is also a requirement. The boxer's elbow no longer needs to be put on the con. That's how it is. Oh Jorgito, a pleasure, dear Jorgito. Chule, can the concept of points first and then channels be transposed? Aren't the channels supposed to be the projection of the organs? Chule, you are a student in the diploma module 2 and you more than anyone else, more than anyone else, should understand that Chinese medicine was built and suddenly sometimes in Spanish it is the worst of the dissemination that is done, I can't imagine. Imagine it in other languages.
Look, the most spoken language in the world is Chinese, then English, then Spanish.
If Chinese medicine in Spanish is presented as garbage, as a caricature, I ca n't imagine it in other languages, Arabic, Portuguese, these poor languages. But well, then, uh, Chinese medicine is built on the basis of different theoretical models that suddenly, with teaching, seem to be just one. For example, in module two we are going to study the six-stage theory. We already talked about the metabolism of fluids. Did you realize that this theory of analyzing fluid metabolism dispels the idea that there is only moisture and phlegm? There aren't many more.
So, in the construction of Chinese medicine, the theory proposes that first the isolated points of channels were described, isolated even, let's see, look, why in the bladder channel, which is a channel, an organ, a vein X, why are there shu points on the back?
Because the acupuncture points were possibly described. First, before the channels.
Curious, curious. It's a curious analysis that isn't conceived in Spanish, of course.
Ah, if there are people who believe that acupuncture doesn't heal, they are wrong. That's how it is. Hey Jenny, thank you so much for your lovely explanation of this forgotten point. I've already applied it to myself and as you say, you have to feel it, experience it. Greetings to Cali, Colombia. Thank you for participating here. I am referring to the elimination of tendon tension. Yes, yes, yes, Margarita, I'll do it. Good, good, Margarita. But remember, the way you use words determines how much mastery you have of something. Look, if you go to the museum and suddenly you see this coin, right?, which is a coin, yes?
I tell them, "Describe this coin and tell me, 'It's pretty.'
You know what? Your language isn't enough. What do you have to do?
Study, read. So that you can tell me, 'This coin has a copper color, it has some letters, it has a number, it's possibly a Taiwanese dollar, a Taiwanese dollar,' and so on, and so on, and so on. Okay? So, in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, what I do with these sessions is give you the language so that you have descriptive tools and don't just say, 'This patient, this point is good for immunity.' Yes. So, be really sharp about that, okay? Abrahamito, excellent explanation. Thank you, Doctor, for letting us know the reality of the points. It's a pleasure, dear Abraham.
Welcome to these activities. Odiseo, "I really like your passion and humility in the face of tradition." A pleasure. His vocation, my vocation, is teaching Chinese medicine. It's a pleasure to share it with you. Um, greetings. Yes, I admired his exhibition. Yes, yes, yes. That session was a sponsored session and we were planning to give the whole session, but there was no response. So, what are we getting tired out of, especially the sponsor? What are you paying for, right? And I totally agreed with him, didn't I?
So, share this content. They're going to train their competition, but don't look at it that way. Think about how we're going to prevent knowledge from stagnating. Go for it, don't be mean. This spot is not for No, it 's not for the elbow. How could it not be? Ah, I see, I see. What did Armandito correct him on? I was just about to unsubscribe and ban you from everywhere. I'm going to ask you right now, Yulia, to get banned from everywhere. It's not for your feet. That's how it is. That's how it is.
Hey, it's not Achilles, hey, it's carpal tunnel syndrome. Ah, ah, this way third. Even so, I'm going to give you this look. I'll send it to you for carpal tunnel syndrome. Yes, but with this face because guess what, on the wrist there are many dots, some famous, others forgotten.
Let me see. Of course I enjoyed this class, just like all the classes of our dear teacher. It's a pleasure to know that you are a student of the diploma program. How nice. I was going to tell you that we'll see each other tomorrow, but no. Tomorrow I'm meeting with the people from module two.
Um, thank you, doctor. I've been practicing it on myself and have verified its effectiveness. Very good, Eli, how nice.
Sorry, it's not a spot for feet. You get the idea, otherwise you wouldn't even be seeing me on screen anymore. Hey Mariel, thank you very much, teacher.
Extraordinary knowledge that he shared with us. Blessings from Mexico City. Greetings to you there, World Cup city. He's always said it, teacher, let's look at the functions. Firstly, I dare say that just the functions and location are enough. The instructions arise naturally from the functions. Look, in the course on techniques and selection of acupuncture points I talk to them about the indications and their relevance in the theory of Chinese medicine, but in the theory of Chinese medicine.
And with great care, when I disseminate this publicly, I fully emphasize the functions. But when I share this, for example, in the diploma course, this one, the diploma course on acupuncture point selection techniques, I make a point about the relevance of the indications, which is something to pay attention to, right?
That's how it is. In the next session, then, we're going to talk about tennis elbow. This way, let me see Lili. I do n't think everyone heard about Susan Le's session, or is that just me? I didn't find out. Don't worry, Lili. It was a video, it was a project that consisted of several sponsored videos that were on the YouTube channel, they weren't live, it was just one video, but that sponsorship was lost because the sponsor did n't see a response from the community.
So, because I'm losing my money, because there's no response, it's not just me who's wasting my time, right? This, but that's why I'm asking you to react to this content, to share it with your communities. It's a pleasure, dear Humbertito, and a pleasure to everyone here. Let's prevent knowledge from stagnating.
Thank you so much, Anita. So, check your email if you're interested in any of our training courses, and keep an eye on our posts because you'll see them active very soon. Okay, we'll see each other next week then, remember, same time, same channel, and next time we're going to talk about the famous tennis player's elbow. Be good, take good care of yourselves, and see you soon.
