BRAIN SCANS OVER 12 SESSIONS Acupoint Stimulation for Generalized Anxiety Disorder Before Treatment After 8 Sessions After 4 Sessions After 12 Sessions Normal (Ideal) Profile BRAIN SCANS OVER 12 SESSIONS Acupoint Stimulation for Generalized Anxiety Disorder Before Treatment After 8 Sessions After 4 Sessions After 12 Sessions BRAIN SCAN NOTES The profile shown for this patient is typical of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients in the South America study who responded positively to the stimulation of acupoints.

BRAIN SCAN NOTES The profile shown for this patient is typical of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients in the South America study who responded positively to the stimulation of acupoints. Shifts toward normal levels of wave frequency ratios in the cortex correlated with a decrease in the intensity and frequency of GAD symptoms. GAD patients treated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy showed a similar progression, but: GAD patients treated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy showed a similar progression, but: It required a longer period of time for the frontal cortex to get to near-normal ratios of wave frequencies GAD patients treated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy showed a similar progression, but: It required a longer period of time for the frontal cortex to get to near-normal ratios of wave frequencies, and the normalization of the ratios tended to revert toward pre-treatment levels a year after the end of the psychotherapy much more frequently than they did for the energy treatment group. MEDICATION vs. TAPPING Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalization MEDICATION vs. TAPPING Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalization MEDICATION vs. TAPPING Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalization even though symptoms were reduced while the drug was being taken. MEDICATION vs. TAPPING Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalization even though symptoms were reduced while the drug was being taken. This suggests that the medication is suppressing the symptoms without addressing the wave frequency imbalances. In short, stimulating specific acupoints sends signals to brain regions . . .
