In my office as neurologist and ear acupuncturist, I noticed in 1999 in a pain patient (Trigeminusneuralgy) a complete disappearance of pain, after 1 session. I found out that it was caused by a small nodule in the earlobe at the trigeminulneuralgy point. It was an ear acupuncture needle that had slipped under the skin. (see: „the discovery of the Forever Needle“) This was the birth of a new landmark in the acupuncture, the time of the ear-implant-acupuncture. The story became really spectacular when I tried the therapy for Parkinson’s (in 2000). After a few weeks, hyper kinesis appeared, as a result of a strong dopamine increase in the brain (The opposite of Parkinson‘s). This obliged us to reduce the Parkinson medication (especially the L-dopa compounds). These compounds were applied as „therapy by substitution“. By Dopaminergic medication, Parkinson Symptoms are temporally suppressed. This substitution has obviously side effects, especially since the dose is always increased. The disease progresses faster because the bodily dopamine isn’t used and the „use it or lose it“-principle applies.
