TCM PRO 1.0

USER’S MANUAL

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXAMINATION PROCEDURE:

A testee should take off all metallic items--watches, rings, glasses, jewelry--which may interfere with the readings. Hands and feet should not be moistened with oils, lotions or excessive perspiration. Avoid stimulants (coffee, alcohol, drugs) that affect the nervous system prior to testing. Before taking a measurement wait for some time (about two hours) after exercise, meal, etc. A person should be calm and relaxed. The examinee should not hold the passive electrode too firmly or too lightly as it can alter the measurements (too firm of contact creates higher readings; too light of contact lowers the readings).

Make sure the moistened cotton on the active/passive probe is in contact with the metal of the probe. The cotton should not be too wet or too dry. Keep the cotton moist throughout the testing. If the skin of the examinee is wet with oil, lotion, or perspiration gently dab the excess moisture to avoid friction on the hands and feet. During testing the examiner should not press too hard or too lightly on the examined points. An examiner should not touch the examinee during the testing (touch the measurement point only with the active/passive probe).

OVERVIEW OF THE SOFTWARE

TCM PRO is a tool that can be used to precisely assess body health via meridian measurements The device is intended for evaluating the functional activity of organs and systems based on the Ryodoraku (Nakatani) method.

The main objective of the software is to become integrated with a computer thereby becoming more user-friendly for a practitioner. It preserves all of the functionality of the original method but allows the practitioner to send results of meridian measurements directly to their PC and create accurate, patient-friendly graphical print outs at each visit (with the possibility to compare previous tests). The direct reading from probe to computer saves the practitioner's time and allows him to obtain information of the entire body within five minutes. The software is easy to learn, and are fast and simple to use.

Treatment section is performed by frequency therapy by Dr. Rife and colour therapy helping a user to destroy pathological frequencies and strengthen physiological frequencies in an organism. The influence on a person is performed in a contact way with the metal electrodes in case of frequency therapy.

If you want to delete a client from your database, select their card by Name from the list and press. .

Note: Please be careful choosing a client once you delete the client, all his information is deleted together with all measurements and can’t be recovered.

If you wish to locate a patient in the database, select the sorting type the software should search by, enter the patient’s ID or name, surname, etc. in the field “Search”. To begin the search press

This tab begins the meridian measurement function according to Ryodoraku method.

To start a measurement choose a client from your Client database or introduce a new client. Click the button for taking measurements.

To start Ryodoraku diagnostics prepare the device as follows:

● Check the connection of the passive electrode, detecting probe, USB port cable.
● Insert the moistened cotton into the active/passive electrode’s search cup and switch on the unit.
● Choose a client from the list or introduce a new one.

Click the button to start the new measurement.

Diagnostic window

The diagnostic window can be divided into several fields which help you when working with the software.

The values of skin conductance are located on the left side of the Diagnostic window.

The display consists of the numerical values of the skin conductance and a dynamic yellow line. The yellow line is a real time graphing of your skin conductance received from the organs’ representative points.

The vertical line on the left side of the graph displays numerical values of skin conductance level.

shows the average value of the skin conductance during the first second of measurement
shows the average value on the 2-d second of measurement
shows the average value on the 3-d second of measurement

Red line – displays real time graphing of a point measurement

After 3 seconds the running red line stabilizes and reaches the end of display scale. After 3 seconds place the probe over the next point to begin testing.

There is a special function that will shift the measurement to another point automatically. Once you have completed measuring all 24 points, the software will shift you to the graphs automatically if you checked the corresponding box

If you check the box and set , the software will automatically shift to another point examination after indicated measurement interval (in our example 3 seconds) when you complete measuring previous point. For example, if you select 0 seconds, it shifts you to the measurement of another point at once; if you select from 1 till 60 seconds, the program shifts to another point within 1, 2, …..60 seconds depending upon the time chosen. This feature can be useful for beginners: during this interval you can re-measure a point if you measured the point erroneously.

After the value appears evaluation form, you will hear double short beep signifying that the testing value has been taken.

To go to the next measurement place the electrode on the examinee’s skin in accordance with the next point’s illustration.

Credit – displays credits/trials given for your software in a trial mode if you purchased limited version.

The program automatically calculates and enters the average skin conductance level for the particular point measurement. All readings are displayed in the evaluation form under the display scale.

It is also possible to enter measurement values manually typing them into measurement fields of the evaluation form (the device should be connected to the PC anyway).

If there was a mistake during examination, press the button and shift to the necessary point. To repeat this or any other point, press the button to go to the next point or the button to shift to a previous point. Shifting back and forth allows you to test a point which is displayed in the program. This function helps you to avoid erroneous data input.

The button erases all entered data during examination.

On completion of measuring the last point the device automatically saves the twenty-four values and creates a test summary displayed in different diagrams.

You may scroll the arrows down and see the name of the point which is displayed at the current moment and where the measurement is to be carried out and reference information about it.

This field gives you general information about the point which is measured at the current moment: its name, meridian and energy type.

The software directs you in performing all 24 point measurements. Every point is graphically illustrated. The patient and practitioner may view and follow the points on the screen. The pictures clearly show the precise location of the acupuncture point to examine. It is simple even for new users. Follow the points’ illustration to locate and complete all 24 measurement points.

The measurement point which is red and blinking a white color is the one you are measuring at the current moment.

The measurement order is as follows:

1) 3 Palm and 3 back points of the left hand
2) Continue to the points on the left foot
3) 3 Palm and 3 back points of the right hand
4) Continue to the points on the right foot

Our point display differs from traditional Ryodoraku order. It is changed for measurement convenience to test first the central part of the foot and then the lateral parts of the foot. However this does not alter the exam accuracy.

Information field displays the first and last name of an examinee, the device’s serial number (ID) and the testing date and time.

The description and rules of the TESTING process.

Step one:
The device is connected to the computer with the USB-port cable. The active/passive probe or electrode is connected to the device. Start the “Meridian Testing Program v. 2.1” software.
Make all necessary general requirements prior to examination.

Note: the device does not need calibration as similar devices require and always works correctly.

Step two:
Make a small size cotton swab. Moisten it with water or salt solution and squeeze the cotton swab into the active/passive probe’s cup. Make sure that the moistened cotton is in contact with the metal of the probe. The cotton should not be too wet or too dry. It is fine to remoisten the cotton to maintain moisture during the test

Step three:
Have the client hold the probe not too loosely or too tight.

Step four:
With the feet resting on nonconductive ground the client seats comfortably on a chair or lies on a bed. The examinee should not contact metal or wall furnishings.

Step five:
Without probing or palpating, place the active/passive measuring probe with moistened cotton over the examinee’s test point aсcording to the point’s illustration. The reading begins at that moment. The yellow line steadily rises to a certain value where it gradually stabilizes. The measurement of each point is performed within 3 seconds. The program automatically gets three measurement readings of the meridian conductance value on each second. The software calculates the average value of the point.

Every measurement value is accompanied by a beep when you place the probe on the skin and start measuring it . The value is recorded in the evaluation form (under the display scale) and the software gives double beep when you finish measuring it.

The software automatically saves the all meridians values when the last measurement is taken.

Special Note:
If the active/passive probe does not start reading right away make sure that the cotton swab is moistened enough and the probe is connected to the device. A stable running yellow line shows that the measurement is accurate; however, a break in the line can indicate a broken signal. Continue to measure the point and wait a while. A break often happens if the skin conductance is not sufficient and if the energy level is low. The measurement won’t be accurate as it won’t show the information about your health

---

Once you have completed points’ examination press the button to view the graphical summaries.

The button contains the graphs with examination summary.

The user can view which meridians are out of their physiologic balance (if the meridians are deficient or excessive) in the five different style graphs.

You can view and save unlimited quantity of tests for each client in the software’s database.

Results may be viewed in five different graph styles:

The first graph Left/Right shows twelve meridians’ energy of the left side and their pairs on the right.

The second graph style displays arm yin meridians, arm yang and leg yin and leg yang channels.

Third graph allows a user to choose several previous exam results from client’s history to compare with each other over a span of time to monitor the dynamics (or the current test with previous examinations).

To do so choose the corresponding graph style (third style) , click on the dates you want to view and the program will display each test in its own color.

The advantage of this function allows you to compare the last examination with previous ones and view any changed physiological responses.

It is important to see if there is any left-right imbalance in the same meridian.

With the help of the fourth graph you are enabled to see if there a split energy between the left and right sides of the same meridian and its significance.

If you want to see the split between left and right meridians choose the fourth graph, then click on the date you want to view (if it is not a current test).

The last graph style is a Circular chart.

To view test results in a circular chart style you need check the ‘circular’ box and select the date you want to view.

This software’s tab provides a user with symptoms and ratios based on measurement results.

This tab is active when marked with red color.

Symptoms of unbalanced meridians can be viewed from the ‘Symptom’ window.

Click on the ‘Symptoms’ tab and the software displays possible symptoms based on examination results.

Choose the date you want to see the symptoms and ratios analysis (in case if you are not viewing current measurement result).

This tab helps you to filter the results you want to display: the balance between Left/Right, Yin/Yang, High/Low or All.

If you want to display only Right values, press on the Left to mark it with white color to exclude it from displaying and click on the button . The balances you want to be displayed should be green colored. The software will filter the balances in accordance with your preferences.

In this example the software will show only Right measurement values, Yang side and High/Low values.

Choosing the date of testing you can see various balances and symptoms and view if there are any changed responses.

These fields display general information in the symptoms window: the organs connected with a particular meridian, name of the meridian, the name of a point, its value and average meaning for a patient, meridian’s activity time.

Figures given in this example mean: the first figure stands for measured value for Urinary Bladder meaning that this meridian is excessive: its value is higher than the average line and hits high electro-conductivity norms; the second figure is the average energy value for a patient.

In the main symptoms’ window you can see the list with conditions specific for certain meridians imbalances and its state, high or low electro-conductivity.

If you ask your patient what conditions he experiences, you may check the boxes with relevant names and the software will keep them for future reference to see the dynamics of physiological responses.

This window is used for viewing different ratios for a particular patient.

They provide information about such functions as: autonomic nervous system, mental state, metabolism and some other.

Circadian chart

The circadian chart of the meridians shows their excess-deficiency and normal state in inner and outer circle diagram. Ideally, measurement values should hit between inner and outer borders, the higher measurement value, the higher it is shown on a bar, the lower reading for the channel, the lower it is shown on the diagram. Each pair of meridians is marked with its color depending on the element (the read color is for heart and triple heater, green for gall bladder and liver, etc.) and with the activity period for the particular meridian helping to evaluate a client’s condition during the day.

Ratios Review

This tab displays summary table with the information about ratios: showing overall energetic level – Total Body Energy and ready-made reviews for different ratios

Excess vs. Deficient Channels

This ratio shows the most excessive channel against the most deficient one.

External – Internal Analysis (with 5 elements)

This ratio provides an external-internal contrast of 24 readings obtained from the meridians.
When analyzing this ratio, please bear in mind mental state ratio (excessively high or excessively low). Only after that you will be able to take clinical decision about treatment procedure.
For example, you see that Monarch Fire is most imbalanced, then you should start treating the Heart meridian and then shift to another most imbalanced element. Then see if there is any significant difference between external and internal meridian pairs.

Autonomic Nervous System ratio

The higher the ratio, the more imbalanced autonomic nervous system appears.
The ratio reflects how well the emotional state is balanced, stress can also influence on the state of autonomic nervous system and it fails to regulate peristalsis, control the glands, endocrine system and control the functioning of immune system.

The Mental state ratio is used to evaluate the condition of mental activity, if it is low or high.

The Metabolism ratio shows you the functions of absorption, digestion, and excretion.

The ratio of the Musculoskeletal system shows the state of all that is connected with the musculoskeletal system depending on the balance of blood and Qi levels.

Vertically on the chart are numbers from 0 to 200; horizontally are the names of the meridians. The chart is divided into right and left sides corresponding to the right side meridians and to the left side meridians. For each meridian there are two values corresponding to the right and left branches of the meridian (For example, LU of the right side and LU of the left side).

Every letter symbol has its own coding according to Chinese terminology:

Lu-Lung meridian, Pc-Pericardium meridian (Heart constrictor), Ht-Heart meridian,
Si-Small intestine meridian, Th-Three heaters meridian (Triple energizer),
Li-Large intestine meridian, Sp-Spleen/Pancreas meridian, Lv-Liver meridian,
Ki-Kidney meridian, Bl-Urinary bladder, Gb-Gall bladder meridian,
St-Stomach meridian

The corresponding Ryodoraku symbols are:

H1–lungs meridian, H2-heart constrictor (pericardium)meridian, H3–heart meridian,
H4-small intestine meridian, H5–triple heater meridian, H6-large intestine meridian.

F1-spleen/pancreas meridian, F2-liver meridian, F3-kidney meridian, F4-urinary meridian, F5-gall bladder meridian, F6-stomach meridian.

The white stripe on the chart designates a physiological balance and the average state of a person’s energy. Average values are ideal. If the electric conductivity value exceeds the average state, high (red color) or low (blue color), dysfunctions in the meridian are indicated. The greater the distance from the white stripe in either direction, the worse the condition of the meridian and organ connected with it.

Those values which are too high or too low must be treated, either stimulated or sedated.
Values around 20-30 are often considered deficient and must be balanced with stimulation. Values higher than 70 are considered elevated and must be balanced with sedation. Average readings are from 30 to 70.

As a user becomes more experienced in testing and interpreting the charts, he or she can obtain information about the client’s general energy level, mental state, musculoskeletal system, metabolism function, and the state of the autonomic nervous system. By examining the red and blue columns a user can determine which systems and organs have excessive or deficient energy.

The treatment section of the software provides treatment recommendations for color treatment and acupuncture as well as the software has an inbuilt function of frequency and color generating. The light is inbuilt in the detecting probe of the device.

COLOR THERAPY GUIDELINES

With the help of the software a user is able to generate seven major therapeutic colors and create any color from palette.

This function of the software can be used as an independent method of treatment and for added efficacy to any method you practice.

To get color therapy recommendations, press the tab

You will see the main window containing 3 functions: color therapy, frequency therapy and acupuncture recommendations.

Choose color therapy

Before starting color therapy, choose a patient from the list of clients.

You can type the client's name or last name in the field to locate for a specific client in the database.

This field shows the list with tests' dates and time for a client. Choose the date with measurement results history to review it shortly.

If you press the bottom it will open the comments field where you can make any notes about your patient, process of treatment, results you achieved and other information you think necessary.

Once you have completed typing your notes, press the button

The button marked with green color against the date of testing signifies that

Comments field has already notes kept for a specific date.

This field contains measurement results of the meridians for the chosen date for your reference.

This field suggests color therapy recommendations based on test results.

For example, it is suggested to use orange and yellow color for the point F2.

If you see black cell – it means that only one color is suggested for the meridian.

This field shows the color which is generated currently and general time for generating of all colors suggested.

If we check the box Auto next the shifting from one color generating to another is performed automatically.

The field helps you in setting the time for color generating. If you choose 3 minutes for example, it means that each frequency will be played for 3 minutes.

If we check the box 2 color, the software will play both colors suggested for the meridian.

As in our example, for Liver meridian, the software will play 2 colors: orange and yellow.

If you remove the box check, the software will play the colors in top-down fashion.

The orange color will be played for Liver meridian, then yellow color will be played for Spleen meridian and so on.

Checking the box allows a user to create and generate own colors without applying suggested colors for therapy.

In this example we press the yellow color and the order of generating the colors will start from yellow shifting to the next bright green color, then to green, then to aquamarine color and so on.

These are control buttons for color generating function, when you need to pause color playing, press the button Pause, when you need to bring to halt the color therapy, press Stop button.

This function of the software helps a user to choose the frequency with which the color will be generated.

NOTES for COLOR THERAPY

Color therapy can be applied in several ways described below:

The first way: we advise to choose a color the most favorite for a patient, set the time of generating and play it through the device's detecting probe (the light is inbuilt there).

The second way: select the worst 1 or 2 meridians based on test results provided by the software. Start influencing biologically active points on chosen meridians or reflexology zones (the points or zones are selected by a practitioner individually starting from the most distal points or in correspondence with a patient's health condition: disease, symptoms).

The time of color generating on one point is from 1 to 3-4 minutes depending on each patient condition. It is advised that a practitioner starts from minimal time, 1 minute, gradually making the time of generation 3-4 minutes; as well as the time of generating should be less for kids at the initial stage of therapy. One session color therapy should involve 4-6 acupuncture points. The color therapy consists of 5-10 sessions depending on treatment dynamics (you can check and monitor it with the help of Ryodoraku testing).

The third way:

If there is no positive feedback from treatment after 1-3 sessions, try using complementary colors in relation to the original one, based on pairs of complementary colors: red, green, orange, blue, yellow-purple

Set the color in accordance with individual preferences of a patient or conduct color therapy session like in the second way.

The fourth way:

If there is no effect from using complementary colors shift to organ related colors:
red - Heart (Small intestine)
orange - Bladder (Kidneys),
yellow – Stomach (Spleen),
green - Gall bladder (Liver),
blue – Lungs (Large intestine)
violet – Pericardium (Triple heater).

Set the color in accordance with individual preferences of a patient

And repeat steps from the second way.

Note: in a rare case if all these steps do not show positive feedback we would like to advise to shift to another treatment modality.

If you wish to have frequency therapy, press the and then

Software contains the health correction module with frequencies.

There are several buttons helping you to destroy pathological frequencies and strengthen your physiological frequencies in an organism.

The influence on a person is performed in a contact way with the metal electrodes (which are supplied together with the software and device).

FREQUENCY CORRECTION GUIDELINES

Time of frequencies generation can vary, it depends on the quantity of frequencies recorded in the device and preset time. You can set any time for a frequency. Usually 3-5 minutes are enough for generating of one frequency, but in some cases see the commentary to the disease and frequencies.

Quantity of sessions is selected individually on actual state of health.

At preventive care it is recommended to perform 10 sessions every other day, with an interval 1-3 months. When you treat diseases, the sessions are carried out each day, 1-2 sessions per day. Quantity of procedures -10-15 or more, then make an interval for 1-2 weeks.

When you start using the frequencies, please begin with 1 minute for one frequency gradually adding one minute with each day until it reaches 3-5 minutes for one frequency. We recommend to monitor the state of the health and observe the timing at the initial stage not exceeding 1 minute.

As for diseases' selection, we would like to advise you not to mix several diseases at one time, choose only 2-3 conditions for one frequency therapy session.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Electric cardiac pacemaker; coagulation failure; congenital deformity of central nervous system; implantable cardio stimulator; individual intolerance to current electricity; injury on a skin after electro stimulation; state of acute psychic excitement or intoxication (alcohol), pregnancy.
