Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2007;5(6):377-382
Acupuncture can promote the regeneration of tissues. That acupuncture therapy can be called Regenerative Acupuncture, which is based upon the idea that by the unlimited and universal power of qi the process of creation can be triggered again, disabled or destroyed physiological functions of organs and tissues can be restored, and even the reconstruction and renewal of a physically disabled or destroyed organ or tissue might be possible. Regenerative Acupuncture, its point selection and its rationale are based on the ancient and modern Chinese acupuncture literature and clinical experiences of the authors. Now this acupuncture method was introduced by one case report.

Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2009;7(2):75-79
There is a strong relation among qi,time,and acupuncture.This relation is so close,that it can be said it is of yin-yang nature.Qi stands for yin,time for yang.This fact and its application in acupuncture are known since the times,the Huang Di Nei Jing(Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon)was written.The theory of time-related acupuncture,referred to as traditional Chinese chronotherapeutics or chronoacupuncture.In order to achieve better results in acupuncture,time-related acupuncture methods as represented in traditional Chinese chronotherapeutics should be applied in clinic regularly.Furthermore,tlley should become compulsory for the study ofacupuncture.
3.Qi -Acupuncture: An Effective and Simple Acupuncture Method Based upon Ancient Chinese Acupuncture Literature and Clinical Experience
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2005;3(3):59-62
The main effect of acupuncture can be described as mobilization and movement of qi and blood. It is reasonable to state that this effect is uniform and valid for the needling of all acupoints. The authors have concluded that the fundamental healing effect of acupuncture is the mobilization and movement of qi and by application of the most powerful acupoints and acupoint combinations, any kind of symptoms and diseases can be treated successfully. The theoretical reason for this is the qi. The qi implies the yin and the yang as well as the Five Elements. The Tao (or emptiness) created the Universe, the Universe created the qi, the qi created the yin and the yang. The yin and the yang created the Four Seasons (the time) and the Five Elements. The Five Elements created man and 1000 creatures. So when concentrating the acupoint selection on the qi, the differentiation according to yin and yang are no longer necessary because acupuncture is carried out on a level above the level of the Five Elements and the level of yin and yang! Therefore, one can differentiate between acupuncture of yin and yang (and Five Elements) level, and acupuncture of the qi level. The acupuncture on the qi levels the authors call qi Acupuncture. Qi Acupuncture is carried out in four stages using different categories of acupoints: Chronoacupuncture, Basis Points,diagnosis related distant points, and local or Ashi points.

Qi as well as its ability to cure ailments can be released without needling by the application of magnetism.Qi-effects are based upon the magnetic force released by magnetic platelets fastened onto acupoints.This property supports and proves one of the definitions of qi which says,that qi is bio-electrical magnetism or qi is defined as any type of energy which is able to demonstrate power and strength.This energy can be electricity,magnetism,heat,or light.Furthermore,it is suggested to use magnet acupuncture parallel to needle acupuncture according to traditional Chinese body acupuncture rules scientifically controlled in order to carry out research on qi and qi-effects.Here it might even be possible to find a quality and even a parameter to measure the intensity of qi-effects,such as by simply measuring the possible change of the heart beat frequency (pulse frequency) before and after application of the needle or magnetic platelet.It is also possible that there is another parameter in existence which will be changed by the impact of qi and acupuncture which still needs to be detected.

Object: To show that increased and invigorated movement of qi and blood within the organism and their concentration in the diseased organ is crucial for acupuncture and limitations for acupuncture based upon Western medicine are not necessarily adequate.Methods: Symptom-related and chronoacupuncture were used within a five stages acupuncture beginning with needling of competent pair of confluent points and followed by Zi Wu Liu Zhu chronoacupuncture. Results: After 58 symptom-related acupuncture treatments the vision increased from 10 to 70 percent and remained stable. 18 months later one Zi Wu Liu Zhu chronoacupuncture was carried out following a needling concept of five stages. Within one hour the vision increased from 70 to 90 percent. Conclusions: Ophthalmologists should offer acupuncture to patients suffering from eye in-flammations and retina scars. Acupuncturists should use Zi Wu Liu Zhu and powerful acupoints and acupoint combinations in order to invigorate and to move qi and blood strongly. This case shows the effectiveness of acupuncture and chronoacupuncture in a case of retina scar caused by toxoplasmosis. Therefore, acupuncture treatment might be successfully applied in diseases where Western medicine cannot offer help.
