Chap 1
Complete Cure Depression
with Acupuncture
Preface
Depression can be cured completely by acupuncture.I have created a theory and practice that is the whole story of depression from the beginning of the disease to the healing with the latest physiology and brain science. It is simple and clear.
Depression becomes the normal value one month later using this theory and practice.*1) The number of treatment times is only four or five.

My theory is a scientific and consistent theory that is reproducible and easy for anyone to learn. Also, I have established a highly reproducible and effective acupuncture treatment by interpreting the theory practically.
This content can evolutionary change the theory and technology for depression curing. It took six years for a small accumulation and verification of theory and practice. I have a track record of treatment for one and half years.
I was pursuing my own simple curiosity, then that happens to connect the dots and a new line was born. Finally, the new line became a big picture for curing depression.
Please let me introduce this big picture that is an innovative breakthrough.
Overview
The basis of the theory
The starting point for the theory of care depression with acupuncture is the result of numerous discoveries and practices found by former professor Taiju Matsuzawa as a Tohoku University in Japan and radiologist.It is explained in two books for the general public. “Brain and heart saw by the eyes” NHK Publishing 2003, and “Mental illness is a brain injury” Depression, schizophrenia, and dementia are cured in 2008 published by Nishimura Shoten * 2), * 3)
Among them, the following two points occupy a particularly large weight as the starting point of theory.
1. Depression is a brain injury”
2. Stem cells in the brain repair depression of brain injury.
It is very important to increase blood flow to the brain for a whole physical body and also your mind.
Because the brain is the central headquarters of the body. Poor blood flow to the brain cause poor performance of the brain.

What I have achieved
1. Painted a Big Picture
The big picture is from the beginning of depression to the complete cure. It’s not just a theory, it’s a theory of practice to cure depression.What I have done is science. It is a universal theory that anyone can use. It is reproducible, and other people can produce the same effect.
It is a large painting 5 meters wide and 3 meters high as if it were exhibited in a museum.
Even if you approach the painting close and observe it with a magnifying glass, you can only see the brush marks of the paint.
You can’t see the whole picture. Please try to understand by seeing the whole picture a little away from the painting.
2. Based on the above theory,
I have developed an acupuncture treatment method for depression.Actually, depression can be cured in a short time and have records of a good result.
3.Created the concept of stress for depression that is consisted of primary stress and secondary stress.
Secondary stress is made by primary stress. The secondary stress is muscle stiffness. This is a hypothetical model of secondary stress.4.The muscle stiffness is secondary stress that prevents recovery by the stem cells
5.Established standard treatment for the complete cure of depression
In addition to acupuncture treatment, some self-care promotes the recovery of brain injury.They are nutrients with daily diet, and supplements, and exercise.
Diets and supplements are inexpensive and can be reasonably adopted for most people.
6. It is known that excess cortisol in the brain produced by stress damages brain cells, but the mechanism is unknown.
As an explanation, I proposed a hypothesis of a model of damage of cortisol in brain cells.To explain the cure of depression simply
I had told a difficult phrase such as a model hypothesis, but to put it simply,Stress causes brain injury and muscle stiffness. That is depression.
To cure depression, first of all, you need to relieve stress and rest. Also, you need to remove muscle stiffness.
Depression will not go away if muscle stiffness remains.
If you ask me to explain about cure of complexing depression in one word. I say that :
“Removing muscle stiffness with acupuncture will cure depression.”
Three components to cure depression with acupuncture
Theory construction
The latest medical information filled the gap in the theory and practice of Dr. Taiju Matsuzawa, a former professor at Tohoku University and a radiologist who was advocated in the 1990s.The scientific information about the depression is enough to be available now. That is from books and from academic science information by search engines.
Acupuncture method
Established unique acupuncture treatment for the care of depression.In order to promote the repair of “depression is a brain injury”,I established a unique acupuncture method. Its name is K-A Method, which stands for Kirara-Acupuncture Method.
The method is easy to explain to people and understand because of scientific rationality.
Updated the traditional acupuncture treatment using the knowledge obtained from the latest scientific information.
Self-care and exercise
Established a method of eating a meal and exercise.
If people use this method that they can be continued reasonably and produce effects in a short period of time.
Draw a big picture
Information from existing books and academic scientific information searched by search engines are the materials for drawing a picture.Based on that material, I painted a big picture by accumulating simple thoughts and connecting scientific information scattered like a jigsaw puzzle.
The big picture is from the beginning of depression to complete care of depression by acupuncture. It is included everything about depression.
The lacking jigsaw puzzles were created by logical thinking repeating. Some parts are from direct ideas.
Created a big picture that fits perfectly facts about the depression.
The meaning of ‘fits perfectly facts’ is that it has a therapeutic effect. The effect can be achieved in a short period of time.
Also, the symptoms and recovery process are theoretical. The effect is reproducible.
Outline of the K-A Method
I reinterpreted a traditional acupuncture method by the medical and scientific viewpoints then made a unique acupuncture method.For the missing parts of the traditional acupuncture method, I created a new method. There is no teacher, it was tough work, but it is okay since I am a professional acupuncturist.
The theory is simple, straightforward, and coherent. Everyone can understand.
The practice is a scientific approach, so it is reproducible and quick-acting.
The method is being standardized, and it is easy to learn and learn for other acupuncturists.
The effect of the K-A Method
Depression can almost certainly be cured by the K-A Method.If you have mild or moderate depression levels, the judgment value of depression will be normal after four-time treatments a month.
The Depression level is judged by the Betts depression Test. The same improvement process is confirmed for long-term chronic symptoms of 10 to 20 years.
It has actually healed, and there is good result accumulation.
Note:
After treatment one month, the depression level becomes normal, but there are still remaining brain injures. The process of recovery has just begun.If you do not overdo it, you can lead a normal daily life. The complete cure needs more than 6 months to 1 year. It may take 2 years for severe depression.
Once healed completely, you are ok even if you are under some stress condition. It will return a normal body.
Comparison with drug treatment
With current medication-centric approaches, once depression is aggravated, it is difficult to cure.In that case, you have to be continuing to take medicine for a long time, and you may maintain a limited daily life activity. In addition, medication-based treatment often causes recurrence several years later.
On the other hand、the K-A Method case
The degree of depression such as anxiety symptoms will disappear and the level of depression become a normal value in one month, and then it will be completely cured in a short period of time.It is an innovative breakthrough in that respect.
Preface
1) Normal value of depression level judgment
The normal value of depression level is judged by the Betz depression test and its score.
The Betz Depression Test was devised by Dr. Aaron T. Beck, an American psychiatrist who advocated cognitive behavioral therapy.
2) Japanese Book “Brain and Heart Seen by the Eye” Editor: Taiju Matsuzawa NHK Publishing 2003.
Former Tohoku University professor Taiju Matsuzawa says that depression and schizophrenia are caused by injuring of the amygdala, after observing a lot of imagines of MRI and PET.
And if the injured amygdala healed, depression and schizophrenia are cured.
