We would like to share with you our personal view, beliefs and approach about the research that is presented on these pages.
We both value the research of modern science and the many developments that have been discovered.
We also value the depth of wisdom and knowledge of traditional and classical five element acupuncture, which integrates the many aspects of body and mind.
We acknowledge the information gained from research, and we endevaour to use it where appropriate when meeting the needs of an individual who is suffering in health.
We hope later to share more information on the five elements of acupuncture.

Motohiro I et al. Direct current electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles for peripheral nerve regeneration: an exploratory case series
(Acupuncture in Medicine June 2011 Volume 29 Issue 2)
Direct current electrical stimulation of certain acupuncture points were used to help in the healing process of damaged peripheral nerves (particularly the Peroneal, but also Axillary and Ulnar).
The summary points were:-
- Direct current electroacupuncture stimulates nerve regeneration in animals
- Courses of direct electro acupuncture were given to 7 patients with peripheral nerve damage.
- Good results were seen in 4 patients, and some change in 2 more.
