It is customary to examine the pulse first at the wrist, and to consider it in terms of speed, rhythm, tension, amplitude, and quality; at the same time it is convenient to note the state of the arterial wall. Whilst speed and rhythm may be checked by auscultation of the heart, and tension by sphygmomanometer, the quality and amplitude of the pulse wave can only be analyzed in peripheral vessels, and are features of great diagnostic importance. There is a Chinese protocol for pulse diagnosis which should be known by all medical practitioners as well. This will allow for pulse diagnosis and organ system screening as well.

There are many places of pulse diagnosis in the Chinese system, but for now we will discuss the lung channel pulse on the wrist and then discuss the normal medical pulse taking. It takes lots of practice to develop a good technique of pulse diagnosis. To get to know the pulse the doctor and patient should both be relaxed. This is an intimate

communication that needs to be taken seriously to be best. The patient should face the doctor and the hands not should be above the heart. Three fingers are used for three positions. There is a difference between left and right.

Left hand rear.................. Kidney Yin

Left hand median............. Liver

Left hand front................. Heart

Right hand rear............... Kidney Yang

Right hand median.......... Spleen

Right hand front.............. Lungs

Pay attention to the following qualities: Pace, depth, length, strength, quality An expecting mothers pulse can be insightful. If stronger on the right the baby will be a girl. If stronger on the left it will be a boy.

Floating pulse is felt with very soft pressure but fades with greater pressure.

This is usual for colds , flu, and chills mostly effecting the lung meridian. A weak person with a cold may not have a pulse.

Submerged pulse means that hard pressure is needed for detection of the pulse. This means that the disease has progressed deep in the patient.

There should be about four beats per respiration cycle. (In breath and out breath) Athletes can be slower, children faster.

Slow pulse of three or less per cycle indicate Cold or deficient Yang. Loose bowels, cold, poor circulation, white fur on tongue.

Quick pulse of six or more per cycle signifies excess Heat or deficient Yin involved with fever, rash, thirst.

Long pulse means that it is felt with all three fingers. This is usually related to excess Heat in the Blood. The disease is advanced mostly fevers and irritability. If healthy it can mean a healthy heart of a robust constitution.

Short pulse is only felt in the medial finger or one finger at a time. This implies deficiency of Blood and Chi(Qi). Pale anaemia, fatigue, excess sleep are found.

Weak pulse signifies deficient Chi (Qi) or Blood. Or in the organ connected to the point of detection.

Strong pulse is either a healthy patient or excess Chi.

Slippery is a detectable pulse that has indistinct boundaries. This signifies presence of dampness or phlegm in the body. Excess mucous sluggish digestion, fur on tongue. A pregnant women has it in all positions.

Rough pulse feels choppy an irregular. This means congealed Blood( hard and painful nodes in abdomen, uterus, head etc. stagnant Chi, deficient blood.

Wiry pulse feels like a tense guitar string. This appears in Liver disease and pain.

Huge pulse is felt at all levels stronger at top and beginning. It implies excess Heat high fever, thirst, hyper thyroid, sweating, exhaustion of Chi and often is a bad sign.

Fine pulse is small and thin signifies an insufficiency of Blood and Yin. It is accompanied by thirst, irritability, low grade fever, tongue with red tip.

Irregular pulse Hasty irregular shows excess Heart Yang or congested Qi in upper burner Knotted is slow with irregular pauses shows obstruction of blood to the heart with Yin in excess or phlegm in the pericardium.

Intermittent is systemic but pauses abnormally it shows exhaustion of all organs.

Recent research has shown the spiritual healers generate a certain type of voltage, frequencies of heart rate and brain, and a type of resonance. We have measured the same phenomena in our studies of these powerful healers. The effects include diminished cancer growth, accelerated healing, stability of metabolism and improved psychological states. The ENERGYSCAN QXCI has a fractal base of prayers in the therapies like a prayer wheel. The ENERGYSCAN QXCI also duplicates the healing function displayed by the healers. we measure the resonance of the patient to this healing energy form. The resonance to this form is displayed in the small panel. by expanding the panel we get other options for delivering this healing energy, including a multimedia treatment for the virtual reality goggles. We try to let the patient relax, pray, focus healing energy and maximize the resonance. To stop the therapy minimize the screen. We suggest 3 to 5 min once a week for best results, longer if resonance and results are seen. This function is on the therapy screen and is activated by all therapies. Results are seen on the lower right screen and can be expanded for easy vision.
