Having problems with message search?
Hey Luke,
Good use of front mu, compass, biao li and bie jing with the presented cases. Here are some thoughts regarding your questions.
1. Can I build out a tx using an 8 extra pulse and one or more of the other methods ie Dai pulse and Yang Ming blocks (day time wei qi cycle)?
Definitely, but you want to have presentations that require combining these modalities. If for instance, a patient presented with low back pain, you might start by utilizing the day time wei qi cycle, Xi cleft St34. If there was not a signifigant change in pain and the pulse and assuming the middle position was still full, then the dai mai could be incorporated, Gb41 to open and local points.
2. When building out a treatments using the 8 extras ie Dai
pulse, I would open with GB 41 and then choose points along the trajectory? Can I choose points off the meridian and if so do they take away the focus from the Dai?

Again using the example above, other points could certainly be incorporated, Ub40,Ub63,K3,local points, as well as additional points to address the yang ming block.
