Acupuncture without Needles

Using “acupuncture pain patches”, I can often achieve pain relief faster than I can with traditional acupuncture.  That’s good news since you’re probably not an acupuncturist.  What’s even better news is that I can teach you how to use these pain relief patches so that you can do your own “acupuncture without needles” and get the same results that I’m getting.  If you are ready to let go of your chronic pain right now, then read on because this technique is the fastest way I know how to get rid of pain.  Even if you’re skeptical because you have severe pain or your doctor has told you that you’ll never get better, just try it.  At least ninety percent of people with chronic pain that I’ve met respond to this technique the first time I teach it to them regardless of the laundry list of incurable diagnoses their doctors have given them.

 

IceWave Pain Relief Patches

In Chapter 6, I spoke about the LifeWave Y-Age Aeon patches that I use specifically for balancing the brain.  In this chapter, I will show you how I use the Aeon patch as well as the LifeWave IceWave patches to relieve acute and chronic pain.  The IceWave patches come in a set of two; one white and one tan.  The white patch is more positively charged and the tan patch is more negatively charged, and when used together, they move energy in the body.  The energy flows from negative to positive.  In Eastern medical philosophy, pain is caused by a blockage of energy, so if we move energy through the blockage, then the pain symptoms subside.

The LifeWave patches work by reflecting and sending infra-red energy.  They are a form of portable phototherapy, also known as light therapy.  The spectrum of frequencies it reflects is due to the nano-sized crystals within the patch.  The crystals are embedded in a polyester membrane which is then surrounded by a waterproof seal.  There is a medical grade adhesive on one side of the patch which is the side you’d adhere to your skin.  Once these patches come into contact with your energy field, they “turn on” and begin reflecting specific bands of infra-red energy emanating from your body. 

The IceWave patches have the effect of increasing energy flow between the white and tan patches.  Research studies have proven the efficacy of these non-invasive patches to produce significant pain relief effects.  The Aeon patches have the effect of decreasing the body’s stress and inflammation.

There are two basic pain relief basic protocols that I will cover in this chapter.  The first pain relief protocol is called the Clock Protocol and it is uses the IceWave patches to relieve localized pain.  The second protocol uses the IceWave patches to relieve generalized pain, or whole-body pain.  If you have pain in more than one area or joint in the body, you may wish to try the whole-body pain relief protocol.  People with fibromyalgia who have the “hit by a truck” kind of pain throughout their bodies often respond well to the whole-body pain protocol.  You can try both to see which works better.  Generally, we don’t recommend using more than two sets of IceWave patches at one time, unless you’ve been specifically trained in advanced uses of these patches.  Please note that LifeWave does not claim that their patches can cure, treat or prevent any disease.  The advice herein is to teach you how to use them to reduce or eliminate the symptom of pain.

 

General Guidelines when Using the Patches

1.        Store the patches in a cool place away from strong electromagnetic fields, such as cell phones, and heat.  I store my patches in a basket on top of my bathroom counter.  They are about three feet away from overhead fluorescent lights.  In the winter when the sun shines horizontally through the windows, I cover my packages with a terry cloth so that heat from the passive solar exposure won’t heat up my patches. 
2.       Do not carry your patches close to your body unless you are using them.  They will become activated on exposure to your electromagnetic field.  If you wish to carry them in your purse, store them in the original packaging or purchase a metal wallet so that any body heat is reflected away from the patches.
3.       Do not cut the patches in half and do not re-use them once the adhesive backing is removed.
4.      Both the Y-Age patches and one of the IceWave pain patches are white in color so if you take them both out of their packaging, remember to label them on the back when you’re doing the protocols below so you don’t mix them up.  I usually write “A” on the back of the Aeon patches and “IW” on the back of the IceWave patches.
5.       Drink plenty of pure filtered water while using patches as they work better when you are fully hydrated.  The signaling or communication system of the body is much more efficient if your cells are hydrated.

 

Materials You Will Need:

         One or two sets of LifeWave IceWave pain relief patches
         Optional: one or two LifeWave Y-Age Aeon anti-stress patches
         Tape that you can use to temporarily adhere the patches to your body.  Clear tape, masking tape, or medical tape works just fine
         Glass of water in case you need to hydrate
         A quiet setting so you’re not distracted by television, telephone or other people
         Pen and paper to jot some notes

 

The LifeWave Clock Protocol for Localized Pain

If you have not been drinking water before testing this protocol, you may wish to drink 16 ounces of water before patching.  It isn’t necessary, but I find that many people are dehydrated and don’t know it.  If you regularly consume caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, then you’ll actually urinate an excessive amount of fluid throughout the day and become dehydrated.  Caffeine is a diuretic and can cause dehydration.  If this is your first time doing this protocol, I recommend drinking a couple glasses of pure filtered water beforehand.  Other than that, follow the instructions below.  Check out my “how to patch” videos online.

1.        Curl a piece of tape on the underside of each of the white and tan IceWave patches without taking the adhesive backing off.
2.       Locate the most painful part of your body (see Figure 6) and rate the pain out of 10, with 1 being mildly painful and a 10 being unbearably painful.
3.       Take the TAN patch and stick it right over the most painful spot on your body.  If it is inconvenient and you have tight-fitting clothing on, you can even stick the patch right on top of your clothes.  It still works.
4.      Take the WHITE patch now and stick it above the TAN patch anywhere from 1 inch to 3 inches away.  This position is the 12 o’clock position, assuming the TAN patch represents the center of a clock (See Figure 7).
5.       Wait 10-15 seconds, and then re-evaluate the pain level out of 10.  If the pain is not significantly relieved (at least 50% reduced), then move the WHITE to approximately 3 o’clock relative to the TAN patch (see Figure 8). 
6.       Again wait 10-15 seconds, then re-evaluate your pain level.  If the pain is not relieved to your satisfaction, then move the WHITE patch to the 6 o’clock position (see Figure 9).  If the tape is losing stickiness at this point, just put a fresh piece of tape onto the back of the patch.
7.       Again wait 10-15 seconds and if the pain is not relieved to your satisfaction then place the WHITE patch at 9 o’clock (see Figure 10).
8.      If after 10-15 seconds your pain relief is not enough, they you can move the WHITE patch to the opposite side of the body.  I call this technique “sandwiching” the pain (see Figure 11)
9.       If after 10-15 seconds, this is not satisfactory, then you can move both the TAN and the WHITE to either side of the pain.  This is called Bracketing (see Figure 12) to see if that gives you better pain relief.
10.    Lastly, if your pain is not at least 50% better with this protocol or if you wish to try for a greater degree of pain relief, you can do the whole Clock Protocol again with the WHITE patch in the center of the pain while moving the TAN patch around the clock.
11.     After doing the whole protocol and locating the best IceWave patch positions, remove the adhesive backing from the IceWave patches and adhere firmly to clean dry skin.
12.    Wear the patches for up to twelve hours.  If you wear them longer than that, they won’t do you any harm.  The nano-crystals inside the patches have usually melted by about twelve hours so they are no longer active.
13.    Remember to stay hydrated as much as possible to get the maximum benefit from the patches.
