Foreword
It is with great pleasure and high regard that I write this foreword for Dr. lames Maher's new book
on Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture: Obstetrics and Genecology. It is truly a great text and wonderful
resource for those who already practice the Acupuncture of Master Tung and want to learn its application
in gynecology and obstetrics.
I have personally met Dr. Maher when he attended my seminar on "Master Tung's Acupuncture"
given at the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Houston, TX on October 25,
2003. He introduced himself during a break and spoke with me regarding Tung's Acupuncture in
Mandarin Chinese! Later he began to speak to me in Taiwanese, I was truly impressed with his gift of
language and dialects! After the seminar, Dr. Maher kept in touch with me, and he recently released his
first book called Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture: The Dao Ma Needling Technique of Master Tung
Ching-Chang, which is also a classic in that subject matter in English.
In this book, as in his previous work, Dr. Maher gathers and researches all the written literature in
Chinese on Master Tung's Acupuncture and lists all the treatment protocols in the treatment of OB/GYN
disorders.
Since the majority of all patients are female, this book is indispensable and should be on every
Acupuncturist's bookshelf. Master Tung Ching-Chang was the greatest Acupuncturist in the last
generation and literally had over 100 patients per day in which he saw in his small clinic.
Master Tung arrived in Taiwan after the Communists took over in China in 1949 along with
Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang party and began a successful practice in Taipei, Taiwan. He was an
Acupuncture practitioner in Taiwan for 26 years, and through out that time, he allegedly treated over
400,000 patients, with about a fourth of them treated at no charge. For these humanitarian deeds, Master
Tung was decorated with an award of "Representative of Fine People and Fine Deeds" in Taiwan.
So great was Master Tung's reputation, that he was asked to visit Cambodia between 1971 and
1974 to treat Cambodian President Long Nuo, who suffered from hemiplegia.
Master Tung was also decorated by President Chiang Kai-shek with an "Honor Certificate in the
field of Chinese Medicine", which is an amazing accomplishment because initially the Nationalist Party
was not responsive to Chinese Medicine.
Master Tung's Acupuncture is truly a living treasure and storehouse of Chinese Medicine,
untouched by modem TCM, and a glimpse into the family systems of Chinese Medicine as taught in
previous generations. It is itself a conglomerate of classical acupuncture and bloodletting methods, flexibly
applied, and proven clinically with practical, quick, nd dramatic results. It is also the foundation f the
Acupuncture system that I call "Optimal Acupuncture".
Master Tung's Acupuncture is now a written legacy spurred on by writers like my own teacher,
Young Wei-chieh, Lee Kuo Zhen, Lai Chin Hung, and others. In English, the work has been presented by
Palden Carson and Wangden Carson, as well as Miriam Lee and fortunately, Dr. Maher has joined that
field of celebrated writers on Tung's Acupuncture. Dr. Maher has unselfishly shared all the known
protocols for treating OB/GYN problems in a quick, easy to read and use format for the practicing
professional!
X
The decision for Dr. Maher to share in English a work of this breadth and depth, is to show his
compassionate nature and of caring for ending suffering of fellow beings. In my own ITARA
(International Tung's Acupuncture Research Association) we seek to preserve, educate, research, and pass
on the legacy of Master Tung's work through seminars, private trainings, and other mediums. I personally
recommend Dr. Maher's work at my seminars and to all my students.
As students and practitioners of Master Tung's Acupuncture, we can extend our knowledge of
Chinese culture, history, Chinese Medical principles and practice to benefit mankind. Since much of the
work available does not approach the Master Tung's Acupuncture in a practical manner, Advanced Tung
Style Acupuncture: Obstetrics and Gvnecology lays down a frrm foundation in application for one to use
clinically on a daily basis. It is hoped that the reader can use these points here and achieve amazing results in
his or her practice, as these are the same points I use in my own practice daily with amazing results!

Introduction
It is 9:00 o'clock Monday morning and your phone rings. It's your first call at the busy, prestigious
medical center where you have finally landed that coveted staff position - only after having attempted to
do so for the last three years! On the other end of the line is one of the OBGYN residents who relates that
the chief of OBGYN services would like you to take a look at a patient. The resident states that the
patient, Lynn XYZ, is being sent over to with the diagnosis of 'essential dysmenorrhea', and that the chief
would like you to see what you could do for her this morning. The resident further relates that the patient
is, in fact, the only daughter of the chief of OBGYN services, and that her dysmenorrhea is all but
debilitating; everyone on the OBGYN service has tried to help her but to no avail. You make a mental note
to use that Tung acupuncture prescription which has worked so well for you, ever since you took your
introductory Tung class way back in Chinese medical school. This is one of your favorite prescriptions
because it has yet to fail you- regardless of the TCM diagnosis; it consists of Mu Fu (66.02) and Fu Ke
(11.24).
You begin your caseload which, unbeknownst to you, was filled to the breaking point by the end of
last week (thanks to some savvy advertising by the medical center's chief administrator). When Lynn XYZ
arrives at 10:45, virtually doubled over in pain, your ward is overflowing with patients, and many are even
sitting on chairs in the hallway! You recall that she's been sent over by the medical centers' OBGYN
service, and you really want to make a favorable impression on the chief. It was the chief, after all, who
was the toughest 'nut to crack' in you quest for the staff position. Due to the heavy turnout, however, you
only have time for a quick, to-the-point interview and a brief look at her tongue; all while simultaneously
taking her pulses. You think to yourself, "Oh, am I ever glad I have my trusty Mu Fu (66.02) and Fu Ke
(11.24) dysmenorrhea prescription!" You apply your needles, De2 Qi4, cover her with a sheet, and set the
timer for 20 minutes to remind you when you need to return and re-manipulate her needles.
When you return to manipulate her needles, you ask how she's feeling (expecting her to say that
her discomfort has diminished considerably). "Oh, not much different, that I can tell," she replies.
"Strange, what's up with that?" you think to yourself as you work the needles. After strongly manipulating
the needles, you tell her that it might take a little more time only because she's had it for so long. You reset
the timer for another 20 minutes and make your way out to see the next patient.
You return to Lynn's table to check on how she's doing just as your assistant is removing the last
of the needles. "Well, how do you feel?" you ask, again expecting that surely she must be feeling some
relief; after all, this prescription has ALWAYS worked for you in the past!
"It still feels like I've been punched in the gut!" she moans, much to your chagrin. You tell her you
want to see her again tomorrow morning and vow to yourself that you'll check out Dr. Miriam's book to
see if you've missed anything.
When you return home later that afternoon, you grab your dog-eared copy of Dr. Miriam' s book
off the shelf, flip to the 'Treatment Formulary' in the back of the book, and look up 'dysmenorrhea'. Yup,
there they are, Mu Fu (66.02) and Fu Ke (11.24), the only points listed under 'dysmenorrhea' -the very
points you used unsuccessfully this morning on Lynn XYZ! Now what? You flip to the index of the book,
hoping beyond all hope to find some other suggested points under a 'dysmenorrhea' listing, but much to
your disappointment, there's nothing, nada, zilch! Now, what do you do?!?
xii
Enter the book you are holding in your hands! The reference text you are reading was written with
the intent of filling a need outlined in the aforementioned scenario; namely, providing an additional source
of prescriptions for the busy Tung-Style acupuncturist.
What this book is:

This, my second volume in the Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Series, is solely concerned with
the application of Master Tung's Acupuncture in obstetrics and gynecology. It is entitled 'Advanced Tung
Style Acupuncture' because it, like the first in this series, implies that the user has already had a course in
Master Tung's Acupuncture (e.g., that presented by Drs. Wei-Chieh Young, Palden Carson, Robert Chu,
Esther Su, Richard Tan, Miriam Lee, Susan Johnson, etc.). This text is not intended for use by the tyro, but
rather as a reference by those who already have a working knowledge of Master Tung' s Acupuncture.
This text presents 522 pages of over 400 prescriptions culled from the Chinese language Tung
Acupuncture literature in my personal library- more than 15 different sources were referenced (several
currently out of print). From these Chinese language sources, I have compiled, collated, and translated all
the OB/GYN prescriptions proffered by the 'experts' and applied accompanying diagrams for each
disorder/disease to facilitate their application. Included are author-specific point locations, needling
instructions, contraindications and, when available, clinical comments, herbal suggestions, lifestyle
modifications, etc. all derived from the author(s) own personal clinical experiences with Master Tung's
Acupuncture.
What this book is not:

This text is NOT an introductory text in the acupuncture of Master Tung Ching-Chang! Nor is it a
primer on the TCM theories governing obstetrics and gynecology - there are an ample number of texts on
the market concerning both these topics.
How the book is arranged:

The main body of the text is divided into 2 parts - Part I: Gynecology and Part II: Obstetrics, which
are further sub-divided as follows:
Part 1: Gynecology (subdivided into 4 Sections).

Section I: Menstrual Disorders.
Section II: Disorders of the Reproductive Organs (4 Chapters).
Chapter 1: External Genitalia.
Chapter 2: Uterus.
Chapter 3: Fallopian Tubes and Ovaries.
Chapter 4: Vaginal Discharge.
Section ill: Disorders of the Breast.
Section IV: Climacterium and Menopause.
Section V: Miscellaneous.
Part II: Obstetrics.

Section I: Disorders of Pregnancy.
Section II: Postpartum Disorders.
xiii
Individual Disorder/Disease Entries:

Located at the center of the top of the page is the name of the disorder/disease followed by a set of
parentheses; e.g., 'Mamrnillitis (HCL-1)' [from Part I, Section 3, Disorders of the Breast, p. 357]. Within
the parentheses is a series of letters and perhaps a number. The letters represent the author(s) and the
number represents the prescription number. In the example above, the 'HCL' represents the authors Hung
Li-Yueh, Chou Han-Luan, and Lin Yu-Shan and the '1' represents a first prescription presented by them
for mammillitis. These numbers have NOTHING to do with 'superiority' of the prescription (personally, I
prefer to use the least number of points to get the job done), and merely reflect how prolific the author(s) is
(are).
Under the disorder/disease name will be the points suggested by the author(s), which are to be used
in the 'first step'. In our example, Drs. Hunf' Chou, and Lin suggest DMG 88-03 'Thigh Team of Four
Horses' with Shuang 1 Long2 Yi 1 and Shuang Long2 Er4 . The author(s) specific locations for the suggested
points are then presented and THESE are the locations that should be used for THIS 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! Subsequent to the 'first step', there may or may not be a 'second step', which
would be listed next.
Subsequent to the 'steps' outlined above, 'point specific diagram(s)' illustrating the author(s)
specific point location(s) is/are provided. In our 'Mamrnillitis (HCL-1)' example, 'step two' is to 'let' the
Heart-Lung Region on the back (consult the Dao Ma text for more details on 'letting'). The corresponding
anatomical diagrams illustrating these suggested point locations then follow. The desired consequence of
this text is simply to provide the busy acupuncturist with the ability (once he/she has become facile with
the various point locations) to look up a given disorder, consult the accompanying diagram(s), and go treat
the patient! I sincerely hope that these steps may all be accomplished merely in the matter of moments!
A word on locating DMG 11-15 'Gynecology 3 Needles':

The verbiage describing the location of these five points is rather complex. To facilitate locating
these points, simply follow the steps outlined below:
Step 1: Locate the ulnar digit line on the proximal phalanx of the thumb.
Ulnar to radial view of the RIGHT thumb.

xiv
Step 2: Locate the dorsal interphalangeal skin crease (DISC) and the dorsal metacarpophalangeal skin
crease (DMSC) along the ulnar digit line.
DISC DMSC
Step 3: Divide the proximal phalanx, between the dorsal interphalangeal and the dorsal
metacarpophalangeal skin creases along the ulnar digit line, into thirds.
Step 4: Divide each resultant third (from Step 3) in half.
DISC DMSC
Each resulting hash mark along the ulnar digit line, between the dorsal interphalangeal skin crease
and the dorsal metacarpophalangeal skin crease, represents the location of one of the five points
comprising DMG 11-15 'Gynecology 3 Needles'.
XV
LEGEND
The following legend helps to identify the appropriate point locations with the author(s) suggesting the
point prescription. The transliteration is not the Pinyin used in the PRC, rather it is a system commonly
employed on Taiwan, ROC by the Far Eastern Dictionary Company.
* CCC = !Il~ IJ.lP.J.ll, J!Hf~Jt Ch'en T'ing, Ch'en Nai-Li, and Chou Ting-Wen.
• CKS = IJ.l ~ ~. IJ'J!f~, I¥Iflll.3i: Ch'en Hsiao-Ching, K'uang Yu-Chen, and ,S_u Shan-Yu .
• HPC = NJPHI: Hufing-Ch'uan.
D HCL = #tJti~, ~~-.~»M&: Hung Li-Yueh, Chou Han-Luan, and Lin Yu-Shan.
**
0 LCH =-~~it: Lai Chin-Hsuing.
LKC = *lilit: Li Kuo-Cheng.

HSH = lfiYJt, filfi!J.3i, JltJH\jift Hsiao Yu-Ling, ,S_u Shan-Yu, and Huang Jui-Hsuing.
*MC= ~fm: Meng Chieh.

• PRC State Administration of TCM locations.
When one notes multiple authors listed under a given disease/disorder heading, it merely reflects
that both (or several) authors (groups) have suggested the same prescription for that malady. By way of
example, 'Red-White Vaginal Discharge' (CCC-5; HCL; MC) on p. 320 was suggested by three different
authors (groups) namely, CCC = Rl~, IJ.lP.Jtz:, ~W~X: Ch'en T'ing, Ch'en Nai-Li, and Chou Ting-Wen,
HCL = #tll~, RiJ~W, ~»M&: Hung Li-Yueh, Chou Han-Luan, and Lin Yu-Shan, and MC= ~fm:
Meng Chieh. Unless the point locations differed amongst the various authors, only one entry was made
and all author(s) (groups) were cited as suggesting that prescription.
