Abstract
Access to the amygdala gland allows for the practitioner of kinesiology
the technology to delve quite deeplyinto the body’s anatomy and
physiology. There is not a disease known to man that is not in some
way influencedby the behavior of this central brain gland.
Note:
The Brain’s Limbic system is the super-occurance of the Amygdala
Brain. The information expressed here has its entrance as CL-ing with
deep touch CV 24, light touch CV 14 (explained on pages 7 and 8) as it
is enlisted there as CV 14: Amygdala. Light touch helps us focus on the
physiology of the Amygdala. Reusing of the points on the Centeral
Vessel (CV) results in the sub-categorizing of the subsequent 24 points
in the here described manor.

This concept of the set up was born originally by Dr. Nogier, the
famous French auricular clinician, therapist and researcher. He found
that in using the auricular points in the ear to combat acute pain that
the results were in the 30% to 35 % range.
This discovery of amplifying the pain was the first so-called set up
used in acupuncture. Since that time Dr. Alan Beardall found that the
same set up procedure could be held indefinitely without keeping the
patient in pain continuously by way of his (early 1980’s) discovery of
"advance and lock."
The bi-lateral hip joint is usually the most effective because of its
massive range of motion capability. Thus a greater a percentage of
possible Ruffinni end-organ excitations are available, as a strong
carrier wave. This motion has the ability to carry an amplified signal;
being activated somewhere elsein the body, to the sensory cortex.
Thus interceding with the motor cortex to switch the operation of all
AP’s truly balanced indicators, creating an indicator change (I/C).
The concurrent exchange between the sensory cortex and the motor
cortex acts like a tri-nary switch, across the board, to all AP truly
balanced bi-lateral muscles.

the change in the I/M, like a switching devise used in electronics.
Only in electronics it’s a binary system of On or Off.
These simple amplifiers, on-off switches are known as the electron
tube or today’s version of that, as a transistor.
Realizing that some skeptics will still not use this method, there is
another method to "get the same information." Two, three, four and
five pointing (Goodheart, et all), is also an accepted AK protocol. To
do this requires skill in the use of finger touch and hold.
Unfortunately the patient and the therapist do not always have enough
availability of digits.
Remembering that TL-ing means: ONLY when the client touches the
point there will be a change of indicator muscle. For example: Indicator Change
TL-ing of Governing Vessel 20 for a cranial imbalance (Deal). (I/C)
Circuit Localizing
Thirdly as a reminder that to Circuit Locate (CL), (AP, et all) means
(CL-ing)
that an indicator muscle (I/M) will change by either person touching
the point and getting I/C. Our AP method uses the acupuncture point
and it’s software meaning, as the first point. The meaning for any
point can at best be ascertained through the use of it’s potential as it
is observed empirically over the years.

Still in P/L, go through the 24 CV points again, this time light touch.
i.e. the physiology of the Amygdala. This is providing the previous set
up’s have been constructed and set in place.
T/L for priority
There are 24 specifically identified physiologic activities noted by
Guyton’s physiology text and through trial and error method. It is
important to note that all the way through this procedure each T/L
should be inspected for priority as per Dr. Sheldon C.
Lets now go to the amygdala points themselves that are light touched
and create a (I/C).
CV 1: Arterial pressure:
Have the client sit up quickly that will either raise or lower the arterial
pressure to the point where it will create an I/C, if in fact there is an
imbalance. If an I/C occures, correct via AK methods, then recheck
until it no longer causes the change.
I used P/L, but I also could use the copper penny or have the patient
continue to TL-ing he glabella. Then redid the examination of
setting up the circuit as described. When it came time to do the set
up the indicator changed true to form.
CV 2: Heart rate:
Take the pulse in a resting position.
When movement, emotional or chemical stimulation changes the
pulse that is all right.
When it causes an I/C then there is an aberration or imbalance to
that activity. This shows up like a lie detector for finding food
allergies.
The case that comes to mind for this set up is the lady who was
ghastly afraid to speak in public. After each speaking engagement
she would have the dry heaves due to the tension. She was
instructed to load the crystal during her presentation and at the
time of her customary trip to the toilet afterwards.
The action of the indicator is also very relevant to the activity of the
stomach. Did it go O/F or U/F and did it have many (PoS)?
NOTE: Be sure that the patient has an empty rectum and or bladder
before choosing to activate this physiologic activity. When you ignore
this NOTE be prepared for the consequences.
Dilation:
Have patient with eyes open to ambient light; take an all-encom-
passing black cloth, completely cover the eyes in such a way as to
make it totally black to them, without touching the eyelashes.
If the indicator falters or changes, use priority correction for best
results. Many times vitamin A will make for a lasting balance; some
people may need a regimen for 2 to 4 weeks.
This almost always shows up in the case of nightblindness,
especially in the elderly. For best results use the Psoas or the
Rhomboid as your H/I. The Kidney and Liver meridians best
represent the eyes in acupuncture lore.
CV 6: Piloerrection:
The physiology of hairs standing on their ends, most commonly occurs
in the patient at6a time of conscious recognition of things familiar.
This is the case in deja vu. It is almost always an indicatorof our 6th
sense.
Have the patient recognize a time in their life that they just knew
something was amiss. This usually gives an I/C as a warning that
something is about to happen.
If you do not get an I/C, this physiological awareness is dulled or
stuck. People who say they knew something was going to happen
but don’t listen or trust this intuition most often have this
imbalance. They have desensitized their 6th sense.
Usually calming methods of meditation can be used to restore this
aberration. This lack of balanceand trust of the five senses is
usually routed in early childhood as the imagination is squelched
by an overbearing parent or teacher.
Look back in time to this early programming to get the ultimate
correction, setupand then apply your correction.
CV 9: Circling movements:
Often times you may notice a person that just can’t seem to get
through a doorwaywithout hitting one side or the other. These people
will have this center disrupted.
The most dramatic instance of circling was one summer during the
heat of June, I observed a Doberman pincer chasing his tailfor hours
and hours.
How is it that our brain can discern the difference between the
subtleties of fear, fright, afraid, scared, dread, fearfulness, terror,
horror, panic, alarm, dismay, perturbation, consternation,
trepidation, apprehension, misgiving, uncertainty, suspicion,
mistrust, distrust, qualm, worry, disquiet, disquietude, solicitude,
concern, angst, anguish, anxiety, trembling, shaking, quaking,
quivering, palpitation, uneasiness, apprehensiveness, butterflies,
nervousness, queasiness, cowardice, timidity, diffidence,
hesitation, cold feet, second thoughts, the creeps, buga-boo,
bogie, nightmare, phobia, hesitate, suspect, anticipate, expect,
apprehend, forebode, quail, flinch, recoil, shy, shrink, blench, funk,
cower, skulk, shiver, shudder, revere, venerate, be in awe of, etc.
These are just the synonyms for fear.
CV 12: Rage:
A pure form of hate is rage. Rage is the total loss of control of anger, a
madness of sorts, to a level of violence. The violence can be directed
inward to create a stress so tremendous that cells begin to physiologi-
cally stop their ability to function. This can and does happen at the
sight of greatest weakness. Liver, gall bladder, tooth eye, etc. will take
on this amplified violent force in each event.
This incredible machine somehow stays alive after all of this. What a
miracle by nature. Just imagine how tuff our cells really are to take this
constant barrage of feelings, day in and day out. That’s why in AP we
go to such lengths to identify the histology, the cellular actions of the
organelles and the set ups for software/ hardware awareness.
It does give a real clue as to their maybe being at very least, a type
A personality. Quite often this will be on fire, so to speak, when
someone is in acute pain. If balanced at that time, it many times
will lesson the aggravation. It has a tendency to lend fuel to any
fire in the body physiology. On the other end of the scale, if this
set up goes to too many powers of stress U/F it could lead to
lethargy, apathy, chronic fatigue disinterest in life and a host of
weary conditions of physiology, including but not limited to
suicide.
Watch your I/M, it tells you much more than maybe you can
imagine. This also represents the fight part of fight or flight.
I interject here that in AP we make almost all of our balance
procedures part of the set-up.
The 4 most common procedures we implement are the Seven Chi Key’s
TM, AP; 5 Houses of Chi Tm, AP; Figure 8’s (AK), (TFH),(AP); Centering
(AK), (AP). You can also achieve the same results with your existing
methods of correction, remember to focus, focus, focus with
confidence.
CV 13: Escape:
To withdraw, pull away, get free, flight, break loose, evasion, bail out,
departure, desertion, bolt, loophole, out rush, migration, elope, drain,
slither away, abandonment, take to ones heals, hightail it, skip town,
leave, etc. etc.
These are only just a few of the many more ways that someone can
feel escape. Each init’s own right a separately defined and felt equation
of the cascade of hormones and nerve impulses that trigger ever so
slightly different from each other. It is the hesitation part of any
feeling, or lack there of. When rage is at it’s height, escape is at it’s
least. Usually found in the form of a very U/F condition of the
indicator.
Fight, flight, freeze. This is the other side of rage. Escape is a separate-
ly recognized aspect of physiological animal function. I specifically
remember a case in point.
More importantly she was able to trust herself, to have the spunk
to stand her ground. The amygdala is a wonderful electrical
contraption, it’s so much fun to play with. Enjoy!
CV 14: Punishment:
We as humans being are far superior to the rest of the animal
kingdom. We have the built in capacity to punish ourselves.
I end with the word judgment, because I believe that most of us take
this on like a mainframe computer. It is so indelibly marked within us
that every feeling we have has a bit of this rascally tilt lodged within
Is there any ESCAPE? Doesn’t the FEAR of losing en RAGE, one’s soul to
the point of PLEASURE? We seem to Love it so much that we mastur-
bate ourselves in it. It’s no wonder we get physiologically disturbed by
this process.
It persisted. All the king’s men and all the men’s horses were not
going to get this headache to dissolve. After locking in the 360
degree wheel of acupuncture, AP, I was able to, in an energy sense,
lock in the whole of acupuncture and then the brain set-up
presented itself. As Dr. Beardall said to me personally "It’s all in the
set-up".
Then it was just a minor trip over to the amygdala, set-up the 5
demons, with all of their hardware (PoS). Instead of manually
balancing anything we let the music of Mozart, playing all the while,
do the imposable.
Who has the time or patience to practice this art? I do, if it works.
By now you must be imploring me to teach you the short cut. By golly
by George there is one. This requires you as a master-kinesiology
practitioner, to develop a skill to tell the difference between one ounce
of locking pressure to the muscle and or 10 or100 and 1,000.
This is all relevant to them, and how vocal and focused they become
with each statement. This understanding has helped me bring quite a
few people out of deep depressions. I trust that I have implied its value
in fighting depression of any kind. It’s important!!!
CV 15: Fear:
As listed earlier in the article there are many forms. It is fear that
creates paralysis in our mind’s eye. It’s a stop button to cease all
motivation for any given condition or situation at hand. When fear
becomes a phobia, that’s when the disease is in full bloom.
Phobias can alter the way we are so unconsciously, that we don’t even
notice their advent, until someone points it out to us. Both Nikola Tesla
and Oliver Heaviside who is the inventor for long distance telephone
capabilities had scotophilia loving the dark and Tesla had columbo-
philia, love of pigeons and triphilia, love for the use of the number 3.
This disorder is usually found in little boys 85% of the time and in
adulthood it’s 50% to 50% for men and women (Cohen, The secret
language of the mind, 1996).
CV 16: Pleasure:
Love potion # 9, remember the song. Fortunately the gods of the
Universe started us out on the right track. We as humans then,
somewhere along the way, started falling in love with punishment.
Rewarding ourselves became the tradition with whatever felt good to
placate the moment.
That first puff on a cigarette, the delicious piece of desert after a large
meal. The abuse we give out or receive in a relationship with anyone or
anything.
That desire for alcohol is laying in wait for a balance to this point.
Just put a taste to the tongue and the circuit will download most of
its riches into the I/M. As always when working with confirmed
alcoholics, never put it on the tongue directly.
Pour the offensive elixir in a vial or tincture bottle before touching
the skin at CV 22. The liability for giving it straight to an alcoholic
is astronomical, Dr. or not.
Our purpose is to help them. In all reality this point will appear with
just about everything we like if in fact it is not good for our physiology
as humans. Appearing on stage with this is reverse adrenal syndrome
(Goodheart). The extreme pleasures of weird variety known as philia’s
as we mentioned earlier with Tesla, usually show up as many (PoS) O/F
on this point and at least one of the other previously described points
of awareness. Collectively they will appear when CV 23: Curiosity and
CV 24 Present status of surroundings, shows up.
Spending the time with CV 24 is a better return for the investment of
time. It will not necessarily get rid of the individual combination of
these points. CV 24 cleared first though will save a lot of time in the
long run. That point will be detailed at the end.
That, in it’s self, falls in the category of CV 13: Escape. The spiritual
thoughtlessness takes us to a different world altogether. Breaking the
meta-physical law of change is what’s at stake here. That law states
that everything changes(AP). The more we resist it by holding on, the
greater the friction is when it finally snaps like a rubber band.
The ricochet comes back to haunt us. It stores itself in the form of
many PoS.
CV 17: Erection:
The process of erection is triggered in both men and women. It is
precipitated usually by gestures of masculinity or feminism to the
receiving aroused gender.
The amygdala is not the only center that could be interfering with the
outcome. May I interject here that other parts of the limbic brain may
need to be investigated alongside of this set-up. Before balancing
proceeds check the other 23 anatomical aspects of the limbic system
with their physiologic counterparts and add all priority imbalances to
the circuit.
This will increase your odds of success immensely. In my office I
personally see to it that the spouse of the individual is present to
secure the patient and also secure the best set-up situation possible.
It also protects me if I have a member of my staff on hand during the
balance.
Many men are unaware that they can also arrive at a base of the shaft
type orgasm flush with the pubic symphysis without any other
stimulation of the erect penis. Generally speaking most men do not
discover this until their late 30’s, or not at all until they are instructed
Though when both types of orgasm are present in the experience with
their mate it has been likened to a spiritual awakening.
More often than not the area of the amygdala that controls it along
with the energies that coincide with the gluteus maximus sexual
energy is out of balance. Balance alone is not going to make it happen
but it helps increase the likelihood.
I can only encourage you to experiment and realize what is possible for
yourself and your patients.
CV 19: Ejaculation:
The process of ejaculation is much more complex than it might seem.
For the male it isa release of the seminal fluid in a rhythmic and
powerful series of contractions trustfully shooting deep into the
vaginal cavern. This warm sticky fluid moves rather slowly.
Millions of sperm are created but it is only one that finally makes it to
its destination. This is when the female ejaculate comes into play.
Though not absolutely necessary it does have a physiologic function.
Much of it is expelled out of the vagina for lubrication purposes.
There are sufficient amounts left to lessen the surfactant level of the
male ejaculate and create a viscosity easier for the uteri to rhythmically
assimilate toward the ovary. The amygdala controls the release of
oxytocin at the posterior pituitary facilitating the female rhythmic
contractions of the uterus to pull the culmination of male/ female
fluids forward to the ovum for successful impregnation of the ovary.
As more and more women enter the same roles as men have taken
for centuries the stress that goes with it has played havoc on their
monthly menstrual cycle and their fertility factor. Though in today’s
world an everyday mother has her hands full of stress.
Everything being aligned, the first day of the menstrual cycle will mark Testing Menstrual
itself on the GV 1 point in the form of over facilitation of the I/M. Cycle
The acupuncture system is unique in that even the specific days of the
year are represented in the wake of the unilateral 361 points
associated with the calendar. Subtracting the 2 equinox days and the
2 solstice days from 365 leaves a day for every acupuncture point.
The sun seems to stand still in the sky on those four days, of each
90-day cycle as the seasons begin to change. This unique scale of time
is so precise that even the planets affect the various meridians in
specific ways.
In the Good Old Days of evolution we came to know this nature as God.
We formulated fantastic stories to measure its greatness including but
not limited to the issue as to gender. Each society has a different belief
as to Gods existence and It’s His (Father) time or Her (Mother) nature.
The name of the religion does not matter but the correlation to nature
through its tenants is what gives it omnipotent powers. Nature is
omnipotent therefore God is Nature and omnipotent.
Good luck and good menses. For men the testes and or testicular
rhythm is, with the urge to find a mate, the male equivalent to their
female counterparts ovulatory cycle.
I find that working with this set up on men who have little or no urge,
usually finding a U/F, quite promising in restoring drive. The opposite
is true for overly promiscuous men who can never seem to shut it off.
You will find this point in a high degree of O/F.
Other I/M’s used at this point lose a high degree of accuracy unless
they belong to the Pericardium (PC) acupuncture meridian as a H/I.
After giving a thorough balance to this set up I have observed many
successful offspring. This can be and has been a life giving balance.
After birth it is a common habit for the uterus to stay in the relaxed
position losing much of its contractibility. This set up may be used to
restore the contractibility if the female attempts to squeeze her uterus
internally as a preset up and held in P/L. In the case of a dropped
uterus, in which I have worked with several, the woman needs to
reinsert it.
Having the woman lubricate the uterus with Aloe Vera gel before
reinserting may assist in the odds of success. In men the equivalent
para-mesonepheric duct degenerates before birth. Though it has been
my experience that this set up will help in the case of seminal duct
inflammations proximal to the prostate.
CV 23: Curiosity:
This is probably one of the most important physiological set ups you
can master. When the desire to know about the world around you is
gone, life heads toward death. Would you like to re-instill life into a
dying person? Work on their curiosity button. Curiosity may have killed
the cat and or opened Pandora’s box.
In conclusion
All of the above set up technologies are only effective if the therapist is
specifically focused on the setup and correction. The greater the set up
and correction: the greater the miracle that resides in the patient will
manifest. After 18 years of research I have to admit I wholeheartedly
believe in the application. I trust that you will find even greater fever
for its use. With All Encompassing
