Foreword
Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture: NEUROLOGY- The Acupuncture of Master Tung
Ching-Chang and its Applications in Neurological Disorders is the fourth volume in a series of
acupuncture reference texts complied, collated, and translated by Dr. James Maher. While many
volumes of books and texts have been written in Chinese which could greatly help the western
practitioner, few of us can read or understand Chinese. Most text books are dry and, without an
understanding of the Chinese mindset, difficult at best for the Western practitioner to fully
understand.
I first came to meet Dr. Maher at the recommendation of James W. Hogin, D.O. in the
Spring of 2008 when Dr. Hogin was interviewing Dr. Maher to work in the Brookview Medical
Center in Oklahoma City. Simultaneously, Dr. Hogin was discussing the possibility of moving
the Brookview Medical Center from OKC up to Edmond and merging it with the Full Circle
Health Center. Dr. Hogin suggested that Dr. Maher and I meet to see if we might obviate the
necessity of him having to move twice; Dr. Maher and I hit it off well and we were off and
runnmg.
The style of acupuncture employed by Dr. Maher, the Tung Style Acupuncture, is both
unique and effective; therefore, translation of this style of acupuncture is extremely important.
The information contained herein, as interpreted from the Chinese writings by Dr. Maher, will
enable the practitioner of acupuncture to understand not only the correct acupuncture points
used to treat a myriad of neurologic disorders with this style, but also gain an understanding of
why these points are used. Fortunately, the Tung style acupuncture is efficacious and facile
enough for both, those clinicians who are trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and those
who are not.
It has, indeed, been my privilege to work in a clinical setting with Dr Maher over the last
two years. In so doing, I have personally seen a wide variety of neurological issues resolved
under his application of the Tung style acupuncture. On a personal note, I must admit that I, too,
have also benefited directly from this most effective style of acupuncture with some of my own
personal medical needs. Dr Maher's attention to detail in practice and in translation will make
this work an asset in your clinic and to your neurological patients as well.

Introduction
This volume, the fourth in the Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Series, was first suggested by
one of the many acupuncture physicians whose patients had derived clinical benefit from data contained
in the first three volumes. He stated emphatically, "You have to continue bring more of this most
effective acupuncture to the English speaking acupuncture community- it's not easy to learn Chinese,
and you're the only way we're going to get this information!" His request, coupled with the outpouring
of support I was blessed with from those of you who purchased the earlier volumes, directly contributed
to the inception of this text. Once I had resolved to undertake writing another volume (NOT an easy task,
to say the least), the only real problem I had was in selecting the topic for Volume 4: Internal Medicine,
Otorhinolaryngology, Anesthesiology/Pain Management, Orthopaedics, Neurology, Ophthalmology, et
cetera?
While I say that topic selection was a problem, it really wasn't quite as difficult as it might first
appear. I had just spent the last 2+ years of my life pursuing a Master of Science Degree in Neuroscience
from the Oklahoma Center for Neuroscience, the Graduate College of Medicine at the University of
Oklahoma, Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I had returned to graduate school in an
attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the anatomical substrate upon which acupuncture has its affect,
namely the nervous system, and was presented with the opportunity to have many discussions
concerning acupuncture and said anatomical substrate with the basic science faculty, the clinical faculty,
and my fellow grad students.
The most frequently posed question ran along these lines: "What can acupuncture do for this, or
that, neurological disorder?" Which was followed by the corollary: "What are the mechanisms through
which acupuncture achieves clinical success?" While I was readily able to provide answers to the former,

the latter was far more difficult, and I would frequently retort, "That's the very reason I was back in
school!" or "I was hoping that you'd help me find the answers to that very question!" Alas, graduate
school was 'fun'.
The treatments contained in this volume address many of the neurological disorders enquired
about by my esteemed colleagues at the OCNS, and this volume is only a natural outcome of those
queries. With respect to the neurological mechanisms of acupuncture: while I have achieved a much
greater understanding of the human nervous system and a far greater appreciation for its complexity,
'the jury is still out' in this regard. Some of the advanced imaging techniques, especially functional
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography show great promise in the elucidation
of these neural mechanisms, however, funding for this research is rather difficult to obtain at this time
and will just have to be 'put on the back burner' for now.
As stated above, this fourth volume in the Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Series is focused
on the treatment of neurological disorders. The breadth of disorders addressed ranges from abscesses
(cerebral), to cranial nerve disorders, to specific psychological disorders, and on to Zang4 Fu3 organ
induced headaches. This reference text contains over 450 pages of treatment protocols for a myriad of
commonly encountered neurological disorders which may provide insight into the treatment of your
specific patients' needs. As is the case with the earlier volumes, the application of the information
contained herein is predicated upon a base level of understanding of the acupuncture of Master Tung
Ching-Chang as presented by Drs. Wei-Chieh Young, Palden Carson, Wang Min-Chuan, Robert Chu,
Esther Su, Richard Tan, Miriam Lee, Susan Johnson, etc; this text is NOT a primer in Tung Style
acupuncture.


IX

A new feature, as suggested by one of the acupuncture physicians who procured the earlier
volumes, is an expanded 'disorder index'; this should facilitate locating specific disorders without
having to pour through the entire table of contents - especially when minutes count. Within said index, I
have attempted to render some of the arcane neurological lexicon into the vernacular all while
maintaining the integrity of neurological parlance. Hopefully, this addition will render the text a little

more 'user friendly'.
As was the case in previous volumes, the information contained herein was culled from different
Chinese language sources authored by various experts from Taiwan, and there ARE point location
discrepancies. One should employ the point locations as delineated by the proposing authority for a
particular treatment protocol addressing a specific disorder; this is to say that the points and their
locations are those which should be employed for the proposed prescription. One should also employ the
author(s) recommended needling technique(s) as well. ONE SHOULD REMEMBER, THERE ARE
DISCREPANCIES (sometimes significant) AMONGST THE VARIOUS TAIWANESE AUTHORS,
AND ONE SHOULD EMPLOY THE LOCATIONS AND NEEDLING TECHNIQUES SPECIFIC TO
THE AUTHOR(S) PROVIDING THE PRESCRIPTION- THIS IS WHAT HE/SHE/THEY HAVE
FOUND TO WORK FOR HIM/HER/THEM FOR THAT SPECIFIC DISORDER OR DISEASE!
In conclusion, it is my sincerest desire that this volume, like the previous three, provide the busy
acupuncture physician with some of the tools requisite to treating many of the more challenging
disorders facing medicine today. It is in the treatment of neurological disorders where acupuncture truly
shines and, in particular, where the Tung Style of Acupuncture eclipses all other techniques.

PS: Further volumes are in the works and will address topics such as: Internal Medicine,
Otorhinolaryngology, Ophthalmology, Anesthesiology and Pain Management, Orthopaedics, etc. Vol. 5,
Anesthesiology and Pain Management, is projected to be completed some time in Autumn, 2010.
