5300 Year Old Ice Man Considered Acupuncture Essential To His Survival Crossing Austro-Italian Alps

Before reading the post below, please read the following excerpt from an article by Paul Stamets See paragraph: The Earth's Internet: Mushroom Mycelium http://www.fungi.com/info/articles/martial.html found on http://www.fungi.com
That reminds me how different people can have the same idea at the same time at different places. Later in the same article can be read:

''The 5300 yr. old Ice Man who was discovered in the fall of 1991 on the border of Austria and Italy, packed three polypore species with him, inferring that he considered them essential to his trek over the Alps.'' Like so for his acupuncture prohylaxis, as will be discussed here.

The Ice Man's autopsy has found traces on his body of acupuncture 'stigmatas", corresponding to actual treatment zones used for hearth and vascular disorders. (Back in the days the needles were larger in diameter and length, made of sculpted bones or minerals.) These prehistoric instruments probably induced a certain amount of pain and skin damage to the patient. Today, modern acupuncture approaches adapted their tools and methodologies to the delicate specimen homo sapiens sapiens has grown into. Needles today are more fancy hair-sized jewels and sold neatly packaged as sterile, single-use, medical paraphernalia.

The fact a an austro-italian has used acupuncture 5300 years ago to address his health concerns points out this important fact:

1.The Ice Man had his health at hearth. 2. Acupuncture doesn't belong to any particular nation. This is why you won't find any chinese characters to market the acupuncture practice of Olivier Roy, Acupuncturist, at Clinic Shanti, Montreal. It is my firm belief that acupuncture and its modalities is a human owned, sacred heritage. Everybody knows applying pressure or gentle pricking to their pains will provide a sure fired way for relief. We do this constantly on an unconscious basis. Examples: Rubbing the forehead in migraine headache, reaching for the bowels in gastro-intestinal disorders, grasping the fist over the chest in angina pectoris, scratching until it bleeds in some skin diseases, grabbing the kidneys during lumbago....

Most of the powerful acupuncture points are found on the portion of the limbs extending from the elbows to the fingers and from the knees to the toes. The extremities are the most commonly accidented portions of our body in a close to earth livelihood. Overtime, the limb's injuries have shown unexpected results for ongoing chronic or acute health concerns of the injured. These results were recorded by health practitionners of the past. Subtle painless techniques have evolved to this day in applying the benefits of slightly 'injuring' precise, strategic locations of the body to bring about natural healing, using innate ressource of the human physiology. This is a marvel to put into practice. It's now called acupuncture and people say it comes from China/Asia. Now you know where it really comes from; Out of pain, human experience, and coincidence.

That is why no chinese is born an acupuncture therapist, nor is anyone. Out of pain, experience and coincidence you could also become. But fortunately, such a long way people have gone before us, for us.

Ancient shamans of many native american dream cultures believed a shaman to be truly accomplished in healing a disease when he had gone through it himself either in dreams or waking life, and had come to a healing resolution that could be used in his work with others travelling the same kind of ill journey.

Your acupuncture experience with a licensed acupuncturist is a sacred synthesis of benefits drawn from the whole of human experience facing disease. Virtually painless in its refined modern techniques, this mycellium of wisdom is available for you, here and now, no matter what your health concern may be. Take advantage today, and share the benefits with your cherished loved ones.

All the best,
