ACUPUNCTURE ON FISH, A FIRST FOR THE WESTERN WORLD!!
Local man Allan Moffatt, is reported to have done Acupuncture on fish at the Koi Farm on Short Cut Road Raleigh.The two large koi called Big Mumma and Lucky responded very well.Wayne from the Koi farm says,“We used a small stretcher in the water to hold them still.”Allan says “I have never put acupuncture needles in a fish before. I have treated many sorts of animals over the past 20 years(specialising in horses) and this was all new to me. I put the needles through the scales in between the vertebra. Immediately they relaxed and you could see their spine straighten. I even gave one some acupuncture pressure massage which I could see she thouroughly enjoyed. This is not a world first as the Japanese has used acupuncture on fish to keep them relaxed while travelling to restaurants, later to be eaten or showed. Every Temple in Japan has its own Koi lake. Koi are considered a sign of luck, they can live up to 300 years old They can reach up to 1.2 mtrs long and weigh over 18 kgs. Originally, 400 years ago they where kept in the bottom of wells and saved as food for winter.
Wayne says they are peaceful beautiful creatures who soon get to know you. Videos and photo’s can be seen at the Koi farm owned by Dan Van Zanten and Wayne Stoves, at 200 Short Cut Road Raleigh Phone 66556604 or 0402614456

Splint examples; treatment with acupuncture

Case e xample ; Splint ( bone spur);   Chaos 8 year old eventing horse has had this bone spur since age 1 the photos are dated 5 weeks of treatments. Shrinking the area with each treatment, lasting about 5 to 7 days.

Ice under bandage 3x a day for 3-5 days. Then keep bandaged 24/7 for a month( compression). This helps to keep the splint bone stable, in turn helps it recover. ( always bandage from the chest s ide of the leg out wards. If you don't it will injure the tendons by twisting them the wrong way. Hires needs to be in a small space as excess running doesn't help.

Horse Hypnosis

This is very interesting to see. Acupuncture is a form of healing and as such involves altered states. The subject is relaxed and taken into a state, different from the normal state, where the healing takes place. This is not the way or subject of Medicine, nor is this the aim of the Acupuncture Method. It is a side-effect. Many, many times in giving a horse acupuncture, persons and animals around will also go to sleep. And in one way this is a blessing as, in any one family, all are affected if any one member of the family is affected, especially in regard to animals. They tend to take on , in their kindness and compassion, the symptoms of the owner. This is called Surrogating. I always say, I treat a horse and a rider for free. Fix the rider and the horse feels much better. This surrogating must always be looked into in treatment. If the rider walks with a right hand limp then the horse will end up with right hand symptoms Always look for the cause. To do hypnosis. After acupuncture...

How to get your horse’s hoofs to grow evenly.

--> Note these points are not underneath the hoof but on the top surface; The horse has acupuncture channels which run down the leg. These all end near the coronet band on areas called ting points. If the energy in a channel is weak or blocked it does not allow the chi and blood to move fully down into the hoof.   And then that section of the hoof does not get fully nourished with blood and so does not grow so well. This gives rise to hoof imbalances. For example; sometimes the toe on the back grows too long.(this gives rise to forging or overreach.) Actually it is the heel that grows to short. If you stimulate the ting points on the back of the heel by one off acupuncture or regular acupressure or laser the hoof will grow regularly back and front.  Anohter good tip is to look for hoof cracks. These definaitely start happening when the chi in the channel is weak and not strong enough to push the blood into the hoof for growth in that area,  ...
