The rest of my time will be fleshing out this list, one subject at a time. Admittedly, my weakness is defining disease along the Syndromes, as I have been primarily taught to needle according to the following laws:
- Local
- Distal
- Symptomatic
- Specific
- Influential
- Physiological
If these methods do not produce results, then I turn to the other laws.
