Last week I took my almost paralyzed grandmother to the accupuncturist Dr. Mariano Teng at the Holistic Center in SM Megamall. It was a good wheelchair push distance from the parking lot on the 5th floor as the Holistic Center is in the middle.
My grandmother kept repeating these items:
She used to see Dr. Benjamin Aquino, but he’s dead now. And Dr. Teng says he met him in their accupuncturists association.
She says she has high cholesterol levels according to her last blood test. Of course I know high cholesterol levels should be 200 plus your age. So since my grandmother is 83, her ideal cholesterol should be 283. Her last reading was 310. Of course her western medical doctor thinks that is too high… pharmaceutically brainwashed to sell cholesterol lowering drugs.
She says she can’t turn in her bed by herself.
She can’t stand up by herself.
She can’t walk by herself.
And that she is always constipated… because she has been drugging herself for so many years… and those drugs cause constipation… and she’s been using drug laxatives for many years…
And I told the accupuncturist that my grandmother has seen the Dorn-Method specialist and has fixed some misalignments a few weeks ago.
The accupuncture session was very methodical. An electrical meter was placed on one hand, and the other end was touched at different points of the body. This measures the energy or electrical activity of the organs. Dr. Teng marks the readings on his prepared table sheet. He then uses a ruler to draw a line to see the averages, the hyper active organs and the hypo active organs. With this analysis he knows which points to place his needles. Very logical, very much straightforward. The needles are in place for 30 minutes. Every so often he taps the needles to stimulate those nerves. The objective is to balance out those electrical measurements.
Dr. Teng says my grandmother needs to return on October 19 Sunday, and so she shall return with me on that day.
As a sidenote: I tried accupuncture myself for the first time. The readings were as I expected: hyper liver, hyper gall bladder, hyper stomach. Maybe it is time for another liver flush?
