Acupuncture points have particular electrical properties and these, in the most simple terms, are areas of low skin resistance in comparison to the surrounding skin. They have no anatomical basis and only exist when looked at from an electrical point of view. It struck me that these points could be treated directly on the skin using a specific wave form without the insertion of a needle. Therefore, I constructed a prototype device that consisted of a simple circuit and a battery mounted on a pencil, and this yielded significant clinical results. I could teach a patient to find their own acupuncture points and then treat themselves using this device. I found this more successful than I had anticipated and this concept inspired the development of the Acuhealth machine.
