   ANSWER: ANSWER: North American and European researchers, after many trials as far back as the 1970’s, concluded that acupuncture, while working in many illnesses and injuries didn’t work well when emotions are in disarray. But Dr. Smith’s adaptation of Dr. Wen’s protocol changed that completely. Not only does it work but it works quickly when emotional help is needed.

   

   It does hurt a tiny bit, some days more than others due to changing humidity in the air - but few people complain.  Any of the modern methods now used to work with stress - of which mindfulness and neuroplasticity are the current best sources of therapeutic help, work significantly faster and with far greater effectiveness than occur otherwise, when ear acupuncture is used.
   

Our recipients rapidly get used to receiving the pins, and few would tell you, in the end, that pain was a factor at all.

AcuDestress is a life-altering energy-shifting training session, by which, following one month of treatment, non-meditators fast track to mindfulness, then learn neuroplasticity, all initiated/sustained/modulated by AcuDetox ear acupuncture. Many recipients report that they become able, subsequently, to manage stress without psychotherapy and some are able to come off psychoactive medication.
