About the book >.>.> Through my education in Oriental medicine I became familiar with some micro-system theories such as auricular acupunc- ture and scalp acupuncture. My first encounter that increased my belief in micro-systems came one day during a visit to an attorney in 1992. We were both seated at his desk face to face with his back to a large sunny window. I noticed a dark spot in his ear at the digestive area according to auricular micro-system theory. I did not mention anything at the time but just took notice. Later during a visit with his wife I mentioned that both she and her husband had digestive problems. She was sur- prised at my insight and asked me how I knew such personal information about her husband. I explained to her what I noticed in her husband’s ear and she told me that he had just recently had surgery for colon cancer. This situation piqued my interest in micro-system theory and led me to believe that there was important knowledge in this theory. A few years later I was attending an acupuncture convention in California and I met a man who teaches Korean hand acupuncture. He was performing a diagnosis on my hands by running a metal wheel over my fingers to check for tenderness and soreness. The area on my hand that was extremely sore was the medial side of my left little finger proximal interphalangeal joint. I asked him what that indicated. He told me that this area corresponds to the medial side of my left knee. Interestingly at the time I was suffering from left knee medial pain due to a skiing accident which he did not know about. To my surprise his diagnosis was extremely accurate. (MP)
