Every piece of intervention is a test. Every test is a verification.
198,000 tests and 66,000 condition‑tests over 5 years.
Preparing and designing the test over the initial 3 years.

That formed my 8‑year journey toward a fast, precise, reliable, predictive, safe & universal medicine.

All Start from Neijing Medicine

Neijing medicine is a healing art widely practiced 2000 years ago. It works like a magic bullet: it takes effect immediately with > 99 % certainty for any illness accompanied with abnormal sensations as symptoms. In Neijing medicine, the improvement manifested as symptom relief happens like “wind blows away cloud” (若风之吹云) as plainly described in Lingshu 1 of Huandi Neijing (Neijing).

“The reliability of the effect is like wind scattering cloud, revealing the clear blue sky” (效之信,若风吹云, 明乎若见苍天)

The Lingshu 1 further states:

"A physician who knows how to use needles can cure an illness in a breeze like plucking out a thorn from the skin, brushing away a dirt, untying a knot, or unclogging a blocked drain" (夫善用针者，取其疾也，犹拔刺也，犹雪污也，犹解结也，犹决闭也).

"However chronic a disease may be, there is a way to treat. Those who say 'incurable' simply lacked the skills” (疾虽久，犹可毕也。言不可治者，未得其术也).

One Purpose through 8 Years: Observe & Test The Ancient Bold Claims

For eight years, I have been working as a healer in my clinic with one purpose: to test whether the clinical claims of the Huangdi Neijing are true.

Not metaphorically,
Not philosophically,
But observably, repeatably and physiologically.

My entire journey began with a simple question:

Does this actually happen?

And if so:

Can it be verified needle by needle, condition by condition, patient by patient?

I did not assume the answer that may be yes or no. I did not believe the available answers that may be No or Yes. I tested it.

All Tests Come From Observation — Never From Theory

In my clinic, healing does not begin with theory. It begins with a needle, a patient, and observation.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, I insert a tiny needle into a point on the distal extremities — the hands, feet, forearms, lower legs, scalp, or ear. Each insertion is not merely a treatment. It is a test.

A test is simple:

Insert the needle.
Observe the patient’s instant response.
Adjust immediately based on what the body reveals.

Every step happens within three seconds. There is no waiting. No hoping. No theorizing. Only observation → response → adjustment.

No pre‑set theory (except the clinical steps from Neijing and further developed in my clinic) guides my hand. Only the patient’s nervous system does.

What Patients Say in 80% of Cases

In roughly 80% of cases, the scene is the same.

A patient lies on the table, fully dressed, face up, only socks removed. I insert a tiny needle into a precise sensory spot corresponding to the location of their suffering.

Within seconds — often before I withdraw my hand — they stare at me:

“Craaaazy!”
“What the heck?”
“Are you a magician?”

Their eyes widen. Their face shifts from tension to disbelief. The symptom at a specific spot or a region that tormented them moments earlier is suddenly gone or dramatically reduced.

One test completed. One needle. One specific spot of suffering erased.

And the Remaining 20%?

In the remaining 20% of cases for a specific spot or a small region, the symptom does not fully disappear on the first attempt. This is where truthful feedback becomes essential.

At this point, the patient would say "I feel better.' Then I will ask how much better — "10%, 50%, 80%?" If a patient tells me, “10% better,” or “80% better,” or anything in between, I simply add another needle at a different spot and ask for feedback again. If the symptom is still not fully resolved, add one more. And further one more. In most cases, by the fourth needle, the patient reaches around 90% improvement.

With each of the ensuing needle, I will keep asking one—and only one—question:

“I just inserted another needle. Do you feel any difference—worse, better, or no change?”

In my question, I always place “worse” first although I had never encountered yet any case that turned "worse" after an needle insertion. But placing "worse" first reduces politeness bias and increases the truthfulness of the feedback.

If time is limited, I may stop at “50% better” and ask the patient to return in three days. In roughly 90% of cases, the symptom will return before the next visit — but always at a lower intensity than before. With each treatment, the baseline drops. A moderately severe musculoskeletal condition typically requires 5 to 10 visits to resolve completely, usually within 10 weeks, in about 80% of cases.

So every single needle is a test --an experimentation.

Every needle is a hypothesis. Every patient response is the first-hand clinical data.

No Guesswork, No "Shot in The Dark"

Throughout this entire process, there is no guesswork. No “shot in the dark.” No hoping. No praying. No theoretical map telling me where to insert the needle.

There is only iterative testing, guided entirely by the patient’s nervous system:

Insert a needle.
Observe the instant response.
Adjust.
Repeat.

The body tells me everything I need to know — immediately, precisely, and without ambiguity.

For Reliable Test, One Question I Never Ask

In eight years of clinical practice, there is one question I never ask a patient:

“Do you feel better?”

This question almost never produces truthful data. Most patients will not say, “No, I feel nothing changed,” or “Actually, I feel worse.” Human psychology makes this question unreliable.

So I removed this question from my practice entirely.

My Clinical Principle for the Patient

In the last 8 years, my clinical principle for the patient is always the same:

No Patient Leaves Without Immediate Improvement.

I began practicing Neijing medicine in June 2018. My patient volume grew from 3 per day in the first year to 10 per day by the third year, and has remained around 10 per day since.

In the first two years, I advertised in local newspapers and on Facebook. After year three, I stopped all advertising. Every patient since then has come through referral or word of mouth.

Most patients present with multiple conditions—on average, five per session. My clinical principle is simple:

I do not allow a patient to leave until every condition I treat has improved by at least 80%, in >95% of cases.

This is not ambition. This is the standard made possible by the Neijing Medicine.

That is the reason the patient call me "magician", “angel”, “gold hands”, “life saver”....

My Clinical Workload

On average, five conditions per patient is treated in one session.

A typical patient may have:

low back pain
neck pain
stomach acid
constipation
hemorrhoids or other digestion system issues.

A typical female patient at child-bearing age may have:

migraine or frontal headache
trap pain or tightness
neck pain
any pelvic organ condition
anxiety /stress

I treat all conditions a patient complained with in one session whenever possible (if the work can be completed --all related sensory suffering clearly improved -- in roughly maximum 40 minutes not including the 15 - 20 minutes of needling retaining time).

Each specific condition, in most cases each specific sub-condition or even sub-sub condition, usually requires 1–3 needles, but depending on severity and the patient's tolerance, a session may involve anywhere from 1 to more than 50 needles. No mistake here, the maximum number of the needles I used can go above 50 in the case of treating >10 conditions in one session. On average, each patient treated for 5 conditions gets 15 needles in each session.

How Many Tests I Performed (2021–2026)

From 2021 to 2026, I treated an average of:

10 patients per day (each having on average 5 conditions treated)
24 days per month
11 months per year

1. Needle Insertions (Each = One Test)

150 needles/day (15 needles on average each patient)
3,600 needles/month (24 working days per month)
39,600 needles/year (11 working months per year)
198,000 needles over 5 years

2. Condition‑Level Tests

50 condition‑tests/day (each patient treated for 5 conditions)
1,200 condition‑tests/month (24 working days per month)
13,200 condition‑tests/year (11 working months per year)
66,000 condition‑tests over 5 years

These numbers do not include the first three years (2018–2021) when I treated 3–9 patients per day.

Each Needle Insertion Is a Test

Every needle I insert is a test of the Neijing’s claims:

“The wind blows away the cloud.” (若风之吹云)(Lingshu 1)
“The effect is immediate”(立已) (Suwen 63)

I palpate the patient’s body to locate a reactive sensory receptive spot. I insert a needle. I ask for immediate feedback.

This produces instant data:

Did the needle affect the target symptom?
If yes, how much?
If no or not complete, where must I adjust?

Through this process, I learned exactly which sensory terminals correspond to which symptom zones.

Representative Test Examples from My Clinic

A needle placed at a precise point on the lower medial tibia could consistently shut down a right‑breast pain point located at the 3 o’clock position.

Shift the needle slightly—another point for 4 o’clock, another for 5 o’clock, and even more precisely for 5:30—and the effect shifted with equal reliability.

The mapping was not symbolic.

It was anatomical, sensory, and reproducible.

A deep needle reaching the fascial plane between the soleus and tibialis posterior consistently relieved pain arising from posterior stomach ulcer regions.

Move the needle a few millimeters along the same fascial plane, and a different region of the stomach responded.

The relationship was precise, measurable, and predictable.

These are not theories. These are observations.

The Scale of What I Tested

The human skin surface is about 1.7 square meters, or roughly 2,635 square inches. Each square inch can be a distinct sensory spot that can be modulated by a needle elsewhere. So even just on the surface alone, I tested at least 2,635 treatable spots.

This does not include:

joint membranes
fascia layers
periosteum
organ surfaces
vessel walls
tendon sheaths
ligament insertions
muscle compartments
any 3D sub‑unit with sensory innervation

Listing all treatable spots would require thousands and thousands of entries. Therefore, the examples I provide are just illustrations showing how a medial treatment can be fast, precise, measurable, predictable and universal (covering every corner on and in the 3D human body).

What I Verified

Across 198,000 needle tests and 66,000 condition‑tests, I observed:

Any sensory symptom located at a specific spot—no matter how chronic—can be made to disappear or subside instantly with >95% certainty, provided the needle reaches the correct sensory terminal.

This is exactly what the Neijing describes:

“The wind blows away the cloud.” (若风之吹云) (Lingshu 1)
“The effect is immediate”(立已) (Suwen 63)

These are not metaphors. They are clinical instructions.

The Principle Behind It All

Every needle is a hypothesis. Every response is data. Every adjustment is guided by what the body reveals — not by what any theory predicts. In at least the last 5 years, I never insert any single needle without talking with the sensory nerve system of the patient first.

To me, science comes from repeated observing, testing, and verifying what is actually there.

Not from explanations.
Not from assumptions.
Not from conjectures.
Not from theories.

All these are commentary.

If I have one belief — one single, unbreakable belief — in medical science, it is this:

I never blindly believe something. Not even if it is grand. Not even if it is beautiful. Not even if it is plausible or “authentic‑looking.”

I trust only what survives observation. I follow only what withstands verification. And I build only on what the body itself confirms.

The NMM Protocol and the e‑Book

The NMM Protocol is the product of these at least five years of testing. It is not a theory. It is a map of verified sensory relationships.

The upcoming e‑book, Truth of Acupuncture Science, is the record of this journey:

how I questioned
how I tested
how I verified
how I observed
how I adjusted
how I learned

Final Words: My Invitation

I know nothing until I observe. I observe until I understand. I understand only what the body reveals.
