even on the fngers. Each of these micro-systems has their own representation or cartography of each body part. Coming back to the experience with Dr. Boucinhas, if a patient should visit, for example with a pain in the neck which limited his turning of the head, Dr. Boucinhas would search for a tender point in the patient’s little fnger and he would apply color light on that specifc point. The patient would experience pain relief and recover neck mobility; this was an objective proof of recovery. My surprise was heightened when the same type of results were achieved by simply painting a yellow color dot with a felt tip pen on the patient’s skin.
Arndt-Schulz’s law provides an explanation for the fact that stimulus as weak as color can induce such a potent response from the Nervous System. This law states that the lower the stimulus the higher the body’s response. It must be noted, however, that every person has their own personal reaction. But basically, this is the principle that supports Homeopathic treatments. I realized, after the mentioned experience, that this could be easily replicable for any other micro-system. I wondered what would happen if we applied a color light stimulus (by laser or just a color pen) to the points in the ear corresponding to the Hippocampus, the Amygdala and or to the area of the “psychological scar” (as named by Dr. R. Nogier).
My frst experience with this practice consisted in asking a patient to evoke the most terrible image of a traumatic experience which he had not yet processed. After a couple of minutes I could measure (with an ammeter- type device) a decrease in the electric resistance on one or two points of the ear lobe and the patient reported increased pain in these points (mostly in the left lobe, as predicted by the theory as it was an older trauma). My experience induced me to write to Dr. Raphäel Nogier recounting my observations. His reply was quite motivating: he was conducting a similar clinical trial. His procedure consisted in requesting a patient who was grieving the loss of a loved one, to bring a photograph of the person who had passed away. He would then ask the patient to look at the photograph; the patient experienced pain when their ear lobe was palpated and after a minute or so there was a measurable drop of electrical resistance on the same points I had observed. My next step was requesting the patient to hold on to some traumatic experience and I would simultaneously mark with a felt tip yellow pen the corresponding point. The response to this stimulus was remarkable, after a minute the image disappeared completely and the sadness and grief associated to the image faded with it.
I shared these experiences with my colleague Dr. Federico Zarragoicoechea, who replicated the trial for numerous patients with the exact same results and he added new clinical resources to the technique. In 2003, there was a great food in Santa Fe, Argentina, the city where I live. This food affected a third of the city’s population, many people lost their homes. There were
