The profile shown for this patient is typical of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients in

Shifts toward normal levels of wave frequency ratios in the cortex correlated with a decrease
in the intensity and frequency of GAD symptoms.
GAD patients treated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy showed a similar progression, but:
GAD patients treated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy showed a similar progression, but:
It required a longer period of time for the frontal cortex to get to near-normal ratios of wave frequencies
GAD patients treated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy showed a similar progression, but:
It required a longer period of time for the frontal cortex to get to near-normal ratios of wave frequencies, and
the normalization of the ratios tended to revert toward pre-treatment levels a year after the end of the psychotherapy much more frequently than they did for the energy treatment group.
MEDICATION vs. TAPPING
Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalization
MEDICATION vs. TAPPING
Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalization
MEDICATION vs. TAPPING
Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalizationeven though symptoms were reduced while the drug was being taken.
MEDICATION vs. TAPPING
Generalized anxiety disorder patients treated with anti-anxiety medications tended to show little or no cortex normalizationeven though symptoms were reduced while the drug was being taken.
This suggests that the medication is suppressing the symptoms without addressing the wave frequency imbalances.
In short, stimulating specific acupoints sends signals to brain regions . . .
