Humanity is fast moving along the line of holistic medicine (prevention and cure through all systems that add value to healthcare delivery) and this has gained significant momentum amongst advanced nations. Nigeria and indeed entire Africa are yet to catch up with this development. Nigeria is so backward that even the impact of the Western orthodox medical practice which every advanced country is presently fine-tuning still has a long way to go here. We have to urgently take a second look at what is offered in our institutions of higher learning in the field of medicine because it is regrettable that after spending such a long time in the university that a doctor is unable to handle some minor health cases even when the patient had hoped in him. Obviously, the confidence people have in orthodox doctors is seriously waning. Talk to anybody whose relation is sick and the response you get is a hopeless one. How long shall we wait before something is done?. It is not because there is no solution but because, we are stuck with a system that requires urgent and considerable adjustments in line with the current tempo of human developments. Unfortunately, we are not responsive.
THE FUSS ABOUT HUMAN HEALTH PROBLEMS
That a sudden or so called mysterious death occurs has nothing to do with witchcraft, ill luck and or all the other unsubstantiated stories. Such stories are borne out of ignorance and no longer hold water where serious minded individuals are brainstorming on health matters. It has become necessary now to remind us that man operates at four levels of existence – physical, emotional, spiritual and mental all the time and at the same time. Therefore, targeting only the Physical for healing in the time of ill health has proven to be inadequate. Ill health is simply lack of harmony. That the heart, Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Spleen, Bladder, Gall bladder, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Stomach, Pericardium and Triple energizer are what keep man going is no longer news. An unnamed factor which has come in different names from time immemorial but which the Chinese discovered and named Qi (Vital Life Force) is what powers the organs and the organs in turn keep us alive if they are active and functional. The Chinese discovered over 5,000 years ago how and where this Qi (Vital Energy) circulates in man. It is the fundamental force that maintains the functions of the human body. Its theory does not play a role in the formulation of the Western Orthodox medicine. If this energy movement in us is uninterrupted, the organs remain active, function well, withstand disease and we are able to live in harmony with ourselves and with others. It is man’s responsibility to know how the core of himself operates in relation to the source of his life not withstanding his affiliation with any religious movement. Understanding the thin lines connecting all the above levels of our existence in a non technical manner will go a long way in solving human health problems. We have paid too much attention to the physical aspects of ourselves and of the universe. It is therefore time we looked within to connect with harmony. Ask an average university graduate about the functions of any of the human organs and you will be surprised at the answer you get. Majority simply do not know but they know what happens in the outer space.
TECHNOLOGY TO THE RESCUE
What is news now is that the Americans have combined technology with the ancient Chinese wisdom to reduce this mystery (Vital Life Force) into a computerized system. We can now see the Qi (Vital Life Force) and objectively know how and where it circulates in us in its natural attempt to keep our organs active. The harmonious flow of this vital energy along the invisible energy pathways in man called meridians is what determines the state of our health as it activates our organs on its way in and around the human body. A sustained disruption of its natural flow will result in initial weakness and eventual malfunctioning of the human organs. This situation if not quickly arrested eventually leads to ill health and death. Apart from accidental death, we have the capacity to live life that we can control objectively without the fear of dying mysteriously or so called death without an obvious cause. The panic, confusion and mystery that usually accompany ill health should be handled with some understanding. Illness is simply an invasion of the human body which can equally be removed if we had the right diagnosis and cure. We all need the basic knowledge of ourselves whether sick or not.
NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE (COMPLEMENTARY) MEDICINE
One cannot deny the fact that the orthodox medicine has brought us this far but then, it is becoming increasingly obvious that there are certain aspects of problems we cannot resolve through the orthodox system. Therefore, it is time to move on. The most outstanding of all the alternative medicine is Chinese Acupuncture. It is in the forefront of the contemporary demand for alternative and natural medicine. A blend of this Eastern medical practice and the Western orthodox practice which we are used to is long overdue. Without this, we shall continue to experience this national shame of not being able to handle even minor ailments that can easily be resolved. It is in our interest as a people that we looked within to see the best around the world to learn from. We cannot continue to toy with our health. Nigeria is losing so much to preventable deaths.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a complete system of medical practice dating over 5,000yrs old. It is based on energetic model as against the biochemical model of the Western Orthodox system. The root causes of ailments according to acupuncture should be treated and not symptoms. Acupuncture theories and practices are actually observations and descriptions of universal laws and not concepts created by man. The interdependence and the complex harmonious relationships within nature were critically observed, monitored and considered by the ancient Chinese and eventually developed into a body of knowledge and wisdom (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Acupuncture teaches that the human organs are kept functional through the proper flow of Qi (Vital Life Force) along the invisible energy pathways in man called meridians. It is this energy network that connects all parts of the body and the body to the universe. It is also through this network that harmony, messages and the intelligence relationships that exist in and outside the human system is maintained. Qi is considered to be the force that informs and animates all things. Disease sets in as soon as there is sustained blockage, stagnation, split, excess or low flow of this life energy along the meridian channels in man. Acupuncture practice therefore seeks to return the body to normalcy by unblocking and sustaining the flow of life energy through its various age-long time tested procedures. In order to understand the theory of acupuncture, we must be prepared to embrace new thinking about ill health and its prevention and cure, for not only that it is a knowledge developed naturally from the Eastern part of the world but that it is deep and more esoteric than the bones and flesh theories we are accustomed to.
TREATMENT WITH ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture, however, is a single therapy using needles or lasers on the human skin to treat a variety of ailments. The reason why acupuncture is able to treat all ailments in the same way is because it sees them as stemming from the same cause- a disruption to the flow of life energy or Vital Life Force of the body. The theory of this Vital Life Force as earlier said, does not play a role in the formulation of the Western Orthodox medicine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is seen as the fundamental force which maintains the function of the body, therefore any disruption of its flow can cause malfunction and disease. So acupuncture treatment aims to restore balance to this energy flow which is said to run through invisible energy pathways in man called meridians to supply the entire body. Stimulated by acupuncture points, the brain which is the conductor of this invisible energy is reprogrammed and remobilized to fight off ill health.
ACUPUNCTURE DIAGNOSIS & MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Different forms of diagnosis to determine treatments for acupuncture patients have evolved over the last 5,000 years but with the advent of modern technology and the involvement of the Western mind in Acupuncture practice, the traditional process of diagnosis have been reduced into a computerized system- “AcuGraph”. AcuGraph ( American made software) is able to record the faulty flow of the Vital life force in man thereby revealing the human organs that may or are already in problem. It also gives treatment options in minutes of examination.
AcuGraph makes an excellent addition to many branches of medical practice because the ancient healing system of Acupuncture is applicable to such broad spectrum of medical conditions like Chiropractic practice, anesthesiology, urology, orthopedics, physical medicine, psychiatry, obstetrics, geriatrics, internal medicine, cardiology and even pediatrics etc.
ACUGRAPH (COMPUTERISED HUMAN ORGAN EXAM PROCESS).
The most important aspect in healing is in knowing where the illness is hiding and having the best option of removing it. AcuGraph exam process reveals and proffers solutions to the problematic human organs in minutes of examination. It becomes very necessary therefore that we each experience AcuGraph to avoid the so called sudden or mysterious death. AcuGraph test result may also reveal sources of long standing ailments.
Acugraph Exam Process:
§ Objective Documentation Of Vital life Force.
§ Revelation of problematic human organs.
§ Gives deeper insight into patient’s conditions.
§ Helps the practitioner make better decisions.
§ Proof of treatment effectiveness.
§ On-the-spot treatment protocol.
§ Treatment progress monitoring.
SCIENCE OF ACUPUNTURE TREATMENT
As already said, acupuncture treatment seeks to strengthen the activities of the humans organs which are the drivers of the human system. This is achieved by ensuring a normal flow of Qi (Vital Life Force) along the energy channels to the individual organs. Lasers or acupuncture needles are used on the human ears and or human bodies (ACUPOINTS) to access the human organs through these energy pathways. If professionally done, the activities of the affected organs are thereby restored with the attendant disappearance of the illness. Many ill patients can be assisted through the application of acupuncture process.

EXAMPLE TREATMENT PROTOCOL OF A COMMON AILMENT.
PILE (Hemorrhoids)
Treatment protocol of Pile (hemorrhoids), one of the most common but serious ailment is hereby presented below. The Description, Causes, Complications and Reasons for the choice of the ACUPOINTS used are also stated for your understanding.

Signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids include small amounts of bright red blood on the toilet paper after having a bowel movement, itching, irritation, pain or discomfort of the anus, swollen skin protruding from the anus; swelling around the anus; a sensitive or painful lump near the anus; or leakage of feces.
CAUSES: The veins around the anus can stretch under pressure which causes bulging or swelling. Increased pressure to the anus can be caused by straining, diarrhea or constipation, obesity, pregnancy, and anal intercourse. Aging can also stretch and weaken the veins at the rectum.
COMPLICATIONS: If the blood supply to the internal hemorrhoid is cut off, the hemorrhoid can become “strangulated” causing extreme pain and tissue death, which can lead to gangrene.
REASONS FOR THE CHOICE OF ACUPOINTS USED:
It has been stated earlier that acupuncture treatment aims at balancing the flow of the Vital energy of the human body so as to strengthen the functions of the human organs. The organs are energized from the ear or body surface (acupoints) as can be seen from the above map of the human ear.
