A PROPOSAL OF MOLECULAR MECHANISM BASED ACUPUNCTURE |
| PRELIMINARY FINIDINGS OF THE EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLING MEASURED BY INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY |

Woo, MBA Research Center, South Baylo University, Well Healthcare One ,721 North Euclid Street, Anaheim, CA 92801 Background: Infrared Thermographic imaging is a diagnostic tool that measures changes associated with body temperature resulting from clinical treatment by both traditional and nontraditional primary health care providers. It is a non-invasive and non-radioactive assessment tool. It has been used for the identification of such diseases as cancer tumors and for determining the resultant treatment effects. |
| Realibility of Infrared Thermographic Imaging on Six Acupuncture Points |
| Clark D. Danielson, MPA, Ho Hyung Suh, Ph.D., L.Ac., Sue Mir, MS, L.Ac., Jul Cha, MS, Kwang S. Woo, MBA Research Center, South Baylo University Well Healthcare One, 721 North Euclid Street, Anaheim, CA 92801 Purpose: Infrared Thermographic Imaging is a non-invasive assessment tool that is commonly used to measure changes associated with body temperature resulting from clinical treatment by both traditional and nontraditional primary health care providers. Thermographic imaging (using TIME 20032 device) is a dynamic measure of the response of the body to treatment for many diseases measured by temperature changes. This study was designed to determine the reliability of IR Thermographic measures at six specific Acupuncture point locations and to establish the Thermographic values of a normal population. These values may be used to at a later date to compare and evaluate the level of improvement that results in a Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AOM) treated symptomatic population. In addition, values for a general wellbeing measure and Body Mass Index values (BMI) were also acquired. |
| Herb Cost Implications for New FDA cGMP Regulation |
| Presented at SAR 2004 and NNFA 2005 Clark Danielson, MPA, Executive Director, Research Center, SBU Phillip W. Harvey, Ph.D., Chief Science Officer, Life Force International Frederic T. Wong, MD, MS, Consultant, SBU Kathy Lin, L.Ac., Clinic Director, SBU Sheng Li, L.Ac., SBU Background Herbal supplement sales have become one of the fastest growing sectors during the 1990's. It is estimated that nearly 60 million Americans spend approximately $4 million per year on herbal supplements. At least one fifth of the patients taking prescription drugs are also taking some kind of supplement ? herbal or non-herbal. Therefore, it is important to understand the potential effects of herb/drug interactions in an environment of integrative medicine where both herbal and pharmaceutical products are being prescribed to patients. Studies on the prevalence and utilization of herbal products indicate that herb utilization has increased from 2.5% to 12.17% from 1990 to 1997 (Eisenberg 1998). In a study in the Minneapolis/St. Paul (Minnesota) area, 61% of the respondents to a survey indicated that they used herbal products in the last 12 months (Harnack 2001). The most common reason given for using herbal products is to promote general health and well-being. * |
