"HI, I'm Dr. Filardo. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic who is also certified in acupuncture. We have Anya, here, who in our last segment we talked about how to perform the acupuncture, now we're actually going to do it. And now we're going to twist them to increase the circulation and stimulation. (demo of twisting needles) Very good. Excellent! Some of those to expect from acupuncture, after we were the treatment, is you can feel really good, get a good night's sleep, more energy. Or, you can feel like you're detoxing a bit. The body can do that and in that case, in all cases, we want to drink lots of water after the treatment. OKay, these settings were already picked for allergies. There's over 200 different settings for the laser. And what we want to do is go over the needles and the needles will absorb the electricity and energy. Nice and slow and have your eyes closed at all times, thanks. Good, nice and slow. And, depending on how bad the allergies are for the patient, how bad the symptoms are, we may want to go with the laser longer. So, with Anya we're going to do about 180 seconds. OKay and then we might turn here. Good. Doing oK, Anya? Yes. She might be feeling some of the stimulation already and you might notice that right around the nail you're getting a red spot which is really bringing some good energy in. The Chinese believe that the hands, the ears, and the feet work like circuit breakers in your house. That is when there's something with a fuse blows, you go there and test it to see if there's something wrong there. And they believe that the hand the ears and the feet were ways to, for God to diagnose and treat the human body without having to operate just yet. Very preventative."
