Organ Representation of the Ear and Treatment of Incurable Illness

Abstract

In 1951 Paul Nogier, a French doctor, discovered that, when superimposing a diagram of the ear over a diagram of the fetus as it is notmally positioned upside down in the womb, the diagrammatic position of the “points reflexes auriculaires” (auricular reflex points) corresponds to the position of the various organs and parts of the body. By finding painful spots in the auricula through the application of pressure or electric stimulation, it is possible to find trouble spots in the body. This was verified in clinical examinations. Nogier also found that the pulse rate changed in his patients when pressure was applied to points in the auricula which corresponded to diseased areas of the body. He named this reaction “reflexe auriculo cardiaque.” His discoveries inspired new interest in the study of classical Chinese theories of acupuncture. In particular, treatment with ear acupuncture gained wider acceptance. I have been treating people through acupuncture, sometimes employing it even for anesthesia, since 1974. With Nogier’s theory and the diagram of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Extraordinary Points (Modern Chinese Medical Association, 1976) I have had successful results. However, there have been cases which did not show any improvement Between May the 10th and 19th, 1997 we decided to check whether normal tissue samples taken from different parts of the body would resonate with any particular area of the ear. O-Ring resonance test originally developed by Prof Omura, Y. of New York showed that Nogier’s “points reflexes auriculaires” did not always correspond as he predicted. We found, for example, that body parts which had developed from the ectoderm such as hair, skin, the nervous system, and the pituitary and mammary glands generally did not correspond to Nogier’s points. Nogier concluded that the cerebrum was represented in the lower ear lobe, but we could not confirm any resonance with samples from the cerebrum. The mandible and molars, however, did resonate with this area, and the cerebrum resonated instead with the antitragus. Moreover, body parts which had developed from the endoderm and mesoderm were also sometimes different from Nogier’s “points reflexes auriculaires.” We also confirmed that there are organ representation areas on the backside of the auricula Since the 19th of May, 1997 we have placed pieces of cloth infused with Qi-gong energy onto organ representation areas on both the front and backside of the ears of patients with cancer or incurable illness, and they have produced better results than previous ear acupuncture treatment The organ representation areas treated in these instances were decided by ORing test Treatment can be improved by keeping in mind that using the O-ring test in conjunction with Nogier’s “ points reflexes auriculaires” will produce a more accurate diagnosis.
