Enercel® and Acupuncture have been shown to be efficacious in a number of disorders due to stimulation and modulation of specific internal and external energy pathways. Preliminary case-reports suggest that the combination may be synergistic in supporting organ, tissue and especially immune system function, presumably through energy modulation. This report primarily deals with the effect of Enercel® and Acupuncture—individually and in combination—on neurodegenerative disorders and neuropathies.

Energy Medicine is based upon the belief that changes in the "life force" of the body-- including the electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields—can affect human health, and can be manipulated to promote healing. Alternatively, a new concept of Energy Medicine embodies a network of under-differentiated, electromagnetically sensitive cells in the body that can be “triggered” by energetic substances to induce tissue repair and regeneration.

The notion of a life force or energy is shared by people around the world. Since ancient times, traditional cultures have believed that a special energy vitalizes all life. This Energy has many other names. It is intriguing to consider that this ancient concept of Bio-Energy may now be in the process of scientific definition as stem cell-like, electromagnetically sensitive cells in the body capable of cellular reconstruction and restoration.

Over the course of the past three decades, Energy Medicine has moved from being a marginal area of research to gaining a large measure of mainstream acceptance. Despite over 300 studies during the past 40 years showing the efficacy of energy healing, these findings are still ignored or rejected by many scientists based on non-reproducible and inconsistent results. Distinct among modalities that improve and modulate energy in the body,  Enercel® has proven to have reliable, reproducible, consistently positive results in clinical, animal and in vitro studies.

Enercel^® is a combination of homeopathics as per the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). Enercel^® has been proven to be completely non-toxic and without negative side effects in patients both in clinical trials and general use. It is thought to work in the body by support of tissue and organ function via intra- and extracellular energy stimulation.

Enercel® activates the energy pathways of tissues throughout the body. The energy enhancement in the tissues results in improved function, health, metabolism and resistance to infection and stress.  Once the energy of cells is normalized, particularly in the immune system, their health is restored and they are able to carry on their normal activities.  Furthermore, since all tissues in a local area are affected in this way, homeostasis not just of cells, but between cells as well, is restored.  When cells have sufficient and regulated energy, their function is modulated—when overactive, they quiet, and when underactive, they increase their activity.  Overall, Enercel® enhances the substrate of cells of the body in order to re-set them for optimal function. In particular, the immune system is effectively regulated. The turn-over of immune cells in areas of infection, inflammation, oxidation and/or necrosis is intense.  Homeostasis is difficult to achieve in such a milieu. Enercel® encourages self-modulation of immune function and the re-establishment of normal cellular, tissue and organ function. Symptoms of hypo- and hyperimmunity are reduced; infections are effectively fought; tissue damage is repaired; and pain and inflammation are diminished.

Enercel® has been successfully used in the management of neurodegenerative disorders. Case report #1: A 40 year-old female suffered lower back trauma from a motor vehicle accident. Subsequently she developed progressive weakness in her lower extremities, numbness in both feet, calf and feet muscle atrophy and a clumsy gait. A spine MRI showed spinal stenosis. She underwent back surgery to repair the stenosis—this resulted in a slower progression of lower extremity neurological symptoms but no regression. She remained dependent on crutches. Two years later she began Enercel® by oral, IM and sublingual routes and by subcutaneous injection at specific Acupuncture points. She showed slow improvement over a three month period of daily administration of Enercel®. At the end of that time, she was able to walk without crutches and had normal sensation in her feet.

Case report #2: A 70 year-old female developed right eye pain, swelling of the area around the eye and blisters on the forehead which progressed over 3-4 days. A diagnosis of ophthalmic herpes zoster was made. She then began to suffer from right-side headaches and tingling and pain over her eye consistent with post-herpetic neuralgia. She began Enercel Mist administration to her right eye every 2-3 hours as well as Enercel intravenously (once daily) for 5 days. The swelling and eye pain began to quickly improve and then resolved. More significantly, her neurogenic headaches and supraorbital pain gradually diminished and then resolved over about 7 days.

Acupuncture is a technique of traditional Chinese medicine, in which a number of very fine metal needles are inserted into the skin at specially designated points. For thousands of years acupuncture has been used, along with herbal medicine, for pain relief and treatment of various ailments. Today it is widely used in China in the treatment of hay fever, headaches, and ulcers, and some types of blindness, arthritis, diarrhea, and hypertension. Acupuncture is also used, especially in China, as a general anesthetic during childbirth and some types of surgery.

Generally, in the practice of acupuncture, needles varying in length from 1/2 in. (1.27 cm) to several inches are inserted in appropriate points of the body, not necessarily near the affected organ. The needles are twirled and vibrated in specific ways; the depth of insertion also affects the treatment. Modern technique sometimes adds electrical stimulation applied through the needles. The traditional acupuncture points (about 800) are arranged along 14 lines, or meridians, running the length of the body from head to foot.

The traditional Chinese explanation of the effectiveness of acupuncture is based on the Taoist philosophy according to which good health depends on a free circulation of chi (qi), or life-force energy, throughout all the organs of the body. The chi, in turn, depends upon a balance of the two opposing energies of yin (negative, dark, feminine) and yang (positive, bright, masculine). The meridians are the main channels of flow. When energy flow is impeded at any point, e.g., because of a diseased organ or stress, illness in other organs may result. Piercing the channels at the proper points is believed to correct the imbalances.

Western researchers have found that the acupuncture points correspond to points on the skin having less electrical resistance than other skin areas. It has been suggested that acupuncture works by stimulating or repressing the autonomic nervous system in various ways, and there is some evidence that stimulation of the skin can affect internal organs by means of nerve reflex pathways. One theory is that acupuncture stimulates the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals called endorphins. Another is that it stimulates the pituitary gland, which in turn stimulates the adrenal gland to release anti-inflammatory chemicals.

Since the early 1970s, acupuncture has gradually become more accepted in the United States. Many states now accredit schools of acupuncture and administer licensing examinations for non-physicians. Some physicians are studying and using acupuncture as an adjunct treatment. In the United States acupuncture has been used most often for pain control and drug and alcohol addiction. One impediment to total acceptance is the difficulty of fitting a traditional technique from another culture into the strict methods of scientific clinical trials customary in Western medicine. However, a number of clinical trials have suggested that Acupuncture is efficacious for a number or disorders including neurodegenerative disorders and neuropathies.

Several studies have suggested that Acupuncture is beneficial in peripheral neuropathies. One study of acupuncture in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy involved a total of 60 participants. The study found that those receiving acupuncture had a statistically greater improvement in neurological symptoms as well as improved nerve function for both sensory and motor nerve conduction when compared to the control group. Another study conducted in Africa found that for the 126 patients that received acupuncture for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, 86% deemed the treatment as being effective for reducing symptoms in their hands and feet.

In a 2006 Canadian study, acupuncture was utilized in five cases to reduce neuropathic pain in cancer patients. The acupuncture treatment was deemed effective in these cases where medication had failed. And finally, in a Chinese study involving 90 participants, those receiving total body or wrist and ankle acupuncture has significantly improved blood sugar and lipids, decreased blood viscosity, and improved functions of peripheral nerve cells, thus resulting in therapeutic effects for diabetic peripheral neuritis when compared to the control group. The study also found no significant difference between the total body group and the ankle and wrist treatment group.

Enercel® together with Acupuncture:

The injection of liquid products into Acupuncture points—both drug and natural—is called Acupuncture injection point therapy. The treatment is based on the concept that products which enhance energy channels may work synergistically with Acupuncture. Animal trials have validated the process in several models, including been venom acupoint injections for adjuvant-induced arthritis. Although few clinical trials are yet available, extensive experience in the community—especially in China—has yielded results beyond what may be achievable by Acupuncture or the drug/supplement in question alone. This practice is a recognized procedure in several states (Florida, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington).

The administration of Enercel® into Acupuncture points has been named Enerpuncture. This procedure has been of benefit for multiple patients with a variety of illnesses, most commonly musculoskeletal. Clinical experience to date has suggested that acupoint injection with Enercel® may improve outcomes for many disorders compared to Acupuncture alone. Furthermore, Enerpuncture was administered to multiple patients with a variety of neurodegenerative disorders and neuropathies.
