Epigenetic Issues

From Class

• Deep–superficial–deep needling to induce latency: For a genetic condition like cystic fibrosis, use the divergents with deep-superficial-deep needling to maintain latency; to alter the gene go to the eight extras. (Yuen)
• Epigenetic modification = breaking habituation: The most profound epigenetic change is breaking habit: exercise, sleep, diet changes, intermittent fasting; bi gu works by not eating what you normally eat. (Yuen)
• Epigenetic treatment rhythm — 3 days on, 3 days off: Treat one day, the patient self-treats two days with oils or stones, then rests three days, since continually arousing the Jing is depleting. (Yuen)
