Auricular Therapy at Andrews Air Force Base 

"In the beginning, many people were skeptical, but after seeing it demonstrated on patients and the benefits achieved -- especially in the area of pain -- the majority of physicians embraced it and learned how to use it in their practices as an adunctive therapy.

(Air Force Print News 3/14/08)

“Fifty years later [from the discovery of auricular medicine], many exciting and fascinating developments in understanding this medicine and how to use it for quite complex assessment and treatments are being tested and offered by trained practitioners around the world. This field continues to expand, with thousands of practitioners and exciting developments, particularly in Europe.”

 “When a disease occurs in an organ or certain kind of tissue, positive reactions will appear
on the corresponding auricular point(s). Stimulation of positively reacting point(s) by
applying the proper method can eliminate the pathological effect reversing the pathological
course.”

“At the Center [for Improvement for Human Functioning, Wichita, Kansas], auricular therapy is used as a diagnostic and therapeutic option. 
It is relatively painless, inexpensive, easy to use in experienced hands and may give immediate results.  We recommend its use.

Auriculotherapy is a sophisticated discipline of acu- puncture that can be studied to a refined level of precision”


 “Used in an integrated medical model, acupuncture is well suited to deal with many of the functional problems that allopathic medicine is not equipped to address. The result is patient and physician satisfaction."

     Learn How Ear Acupuncture and a Special High Protein Diet May be Your Answer to Weight Loss

 

     This weight loss protocol is easy and simple—slow but steady.  Studies conducted by recently retired U.S. Air Force by Colonel Richard Niemtzow, MD, PhD, MPH, reveal a steady loss of 2-3 pounds per week by following the high protein diet and having the specialized weekly 15-minute ear acupuncture session. 

   I have been privileged to be one of the few civilian doctors personally trained by Dr. Niemtzow (pictured with me left) in this remarkable approach that has been successful for hundreds of military personnel… which is now available to you.

     The cause of weight gain throughout the U.S. population is consistently the over-consumption of sugars, starches, and refined carbohydrates.  If you are planning on becoming and remaining thinner and healthier, you must accept that you cannot eat these foods in large amounts.

     Once you’ve reached your desired weight on this ear acupuncture and diet program, you must only eat small amounts of the foods that cause the problems in the first place.  You may follow the diet program for an entire year, and you may resume it at any time, if you finished, but start to gain weight again.  No special preparation or time is needed. 

     This weight loss program is very simple and easy.  Just follow the rules—and you will have success. 

     Here’s what it’s all about:

On this diet, you will be able to eat as much meat as you want. This includes beef, chicken, fish, pork, lamb, etc. 

     Do NOT go hungry.  Eat meat. 

     If you are a vegetarian, or believe meats are bad for you—this diet approach is not for you.  There are no substitutes.  Dr. Niemtzow's experience with hundreds of patients in the U.S. Military revealed this to be extremely safe and effective, with no negative heart consequences.  In fact, his observations were lowered levels of triglycerides and cholesterol on this diet.

     Our ancestors ate meat, but did not eat refined carbohydrates.  If you can afford it, I recommend consuming organic, antibiotic-free meats as much as possible.  I recommend shopping at Trader Joe’s in Virginia Beach.     

You must avoid ALL processed meats such as bologna and sausage

You will eat only GREEN vegetables in small portions.  This includes foods such as lettuce, spinach, peas, asparagus, green beans, broccoli, cucumbers, kale, parsley, collards, etc.  When you’ve completed your desired weight loss, you will add other types of vegetables and other foods, in moderation.  Do NOT fill up on salads.  You must eat more meat than vegetables.

You may have daily, a combination of TWO of the following carbohydrate   sources:

• An 8 ounce glass of fruit juice

• A serving of fruit

• A teaspoon of sugar

• Low-calorie bread (30-40 calories/slice)

     You can mix and match as you please.  For example, you might have a glass of juice in the morning and a sandwich with two slices of bread later in the day.  Or, you could have up to 6 slices of low-calorie bread in one day, but no other items on the list would be permitted that day.  If you ate 2 fruit servings in one day, you should not eat any of the other items on this carbohydrate list.  Any combination of 2 items per day is fine.  It is however, critical that you do NOT exceed these amounts.  Remember that sugars and refined carbohydrates are the principal cause of becoming overweight in the first place.    

Dressings: You may eat up to ONE Tablespoon of salad dressing each day.  You may use spices.

Beverages: You must drink plenty of water—at least 7 (8 oz.) glasses each day.  This is a critical factor—do NOT forget to drink water all day.  You may add a twist of lemon, lime, or orange juice to your water for flavor. 

    If you must, you may drink diet, caffeine-free soda, or coffee.  While I do not recommend soda of any kind (artificial sweeteners are legal poisons), but I must tell you that it won’t ruin this weight loss program. 

Vitamins and Supplements: A multivitamin is recommended daily, as well as 500mg of calcium.  Our office can provide you these. 

What You Must NOT Eat During this Weight Loss Program:

• No SUGAR PRODUCTS:  This includes cakes, cookies, candy, starches (potatoes, rice, noodles, and cereals)

• No regular soda (caffeine-free, diet soda only)

• No SAUCES, such as: gravies, mustard, and ketchup

• No tomatoes, onions, or ANY vegetables that are not green     

• No DAIRY products (milk, cheese, cream, etc.)

• NO EGGS

     The above items may be resumed (in small amounts) once you have reached your target weight.

     The bottom line:  This is NOT a low calorie diet.  You can and should eat as much protein—in the form of all kinds of meat as you’d like.  The studies show that your cholesterol and triglycerides will NOT go up!  They may indeed go down.  Plus, it is not a permanent diet protocol, as is the case with Atkins and others.  You will never go hungry—just eat plenty of the permitted proteins.  Red meat has been demonstrated to be the most effective on this diet.

     This is a slow and steady, safe and easy weight loss approach.  No special meals or complicated recipes are required.  Simply eat lots of meats and small portions of green vegetables, with the allowable fruit, juice, sugar, dressing, and bread portions… have your weekly 15-minute acupuncture session… and you should lose 2-3 pounds each week. 

     If you happen to cheat or unintentionally mess up on this diet:

 It typically takes about 3 days for your metabolism to reset itself if you mess up.  You’ll have your weekly acupuncture and of course, resume the diet protocol as directed.  You should think of cheating on the diet as 3 days of wasted effort any time you don’t follow it properly.

     About the Ear Acupuncture Sessions:

     In this program, we do not want to curb your appetite.  However, the specialized ear acupuncture is critical to help prevent you from binging on sweets and other fattening foods.   Each week, you will have 3 standard type acupuncture needles placed in each ear for 15 minutes.  

     These needles are then removed, and replaced by specialized, semi-permanent gold stud ear needles in the same areas.  These will stay in your ears for 3 days or so, and will likely fall out on their own with no problems.    

     I also use specialized gold plated ASP needles for Battlefield Acupuncture, a remarkable pain-relief method for which I was also trained by its developer, Dr. Niemtzow.

    I think you'll agree that thee story of Battlefield Acupuncture is quite interesting.  The United States Military, a historical conservative group, embraced this Auricular Therapy approach for its soldiers.  It is performed at Andrews Air Force Base.  [Click HERE to read my article on Battlefield Acupuncture]
   



   
     There are so many approaches to weight loss available worldwide.  No one method is perfect for everybody. 

     My approach to health care has always been to seek out the top professionals in different disciplines, and learn directly from them. 

     Dr. Richard Niemtzow has done brilliant work for our military, and only teaches me procedures for which positive clinical trials have been performed, and/or extensive experience with large numbers of patients.  Perhaps this approach will be right for you too.
