Jordan served in the U.S. army for more than half his life when he was faced with a major injury. He had to undergo surgery to amputate his left leg and was forced to go on permanent disability retirement.

Although the surgery was a success, he had post-surgical pains that was unbearable and needed strong painkillers to help him get through the pain. The painkiller he was prescribed to had opioids in it, a drug that has abilities to dull pain and is highly addictive.

Soon, Jordan’s body relied heavily on the drug. He was addicted to the point that he had to take it every 3 hours, he could not go a day without it.

Jordan is one of the 52,000 Americans reportedly addicted to painkillers last year. The U.S. government declared this as an opioid crisis and a public health emergency. Since then, law enforcement officials have tried to stem the opioid crisis. But little did they know, the real fault lies in pharmaceutical companies.

They offer painkillers as a short cut and convenient solution, and most commonly they offer painkillers that contain addictive substances. That way, people in pain get dependent and addicted to these painkillers to a point that these people can’t make it through a day without the drug and would definitely come back to get more. This helped their sales soar with the almost-guaranteed recurring income.

Seeing the same scene replay itself over and over again, with more and more innocent people getting badly affected by it, Dr. Nigel Bryne, a psychiatrist and researcher from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has finally had enough and sets out to find an alternative to painkillers that is effective, safe, with zero side effects and no risks of addiction.

He found out that traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) has great potential in this. Among the various TCM treatments, acupuncture has been greatly associated with pain management, but it is not as welcomed in the U.S., mainly because people are afraid of the needles used.

“From the TCM’s perspective, health is the result of a harmonious balance between Yin and Yang, the complementary extremes of the life force known as Qi, a form of energy in our body that flows through the meridians along the exterior to our internal organs. Illness or pain results when the harmonious balance is disrupted, and acupuncture is used to correct it.” – Dr. Byrne

Originating from 2000 years ago, acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into any of the 361 points along the meridians of the body to stimulate the immune system for a quicker healing process.

Acupuncture is highly preferred over medication because It is natural, with no chemical substance involved, and has minimal intrusion compared to other treatments

At this point, Dr. Byrne saw a major breakthrough on the horizons.

Dr. Byrne thought of developing a prototype acupuncture tool, without needles. To resemble the effect of needles reaching the meridian points beneath the skin, he used pulse electrical signals, which not only have the effects of traditional needles, it can reach deeper into the meridian points, making it more effective than traditional acupuncture.

Instead of needles, he made it with a rounded head. The prototype turned out to look like a pen, with a rounded tip.

While he was still studying about acupuncture, he came across the moxibustion treatment.

“Moxibustion is almost always used together with acupuncture in China. This treatment is done by burning a natural herb called moxa To warmup meridian points with the intention of stimulating blood circulation, inducing a smoother flow of blood and Qi.” – Dr. Byrne

Even though it is widely used in China, most American acupuncturists do not practice moxibustion. Being a forward-thinking person, Dr. Byrne wanted to incorporate moxibustion into his prototype. He used infrared emissions to resemble the effect of traditional moxibustion.

The subject was 52-year-old Samson, who suffers from chronic pains due to aging and obesity

“I have heard of the benefits of acupuncture, but I can’t take the needles. I wanted to treat the chronic pain in my back and my knee,

So I went for an acupuncture therapy.”

“What happened was, because of my thick layers, the acupuncturist had to use super long and thick needles. The sight of needles was scary enough, and with needles of that size…I was traumatized ever since.”

“But just several weeks into this trial, I feel completely different, the pain in my back and knee was completely gone. I could even squat down to tie my shoelaces by myself now.” – Samson

All in all, the prototype proved to be a success, and Dr. Byrne sees how it can help Americans greatly. He named the prototype Moxipoint Acupen and presented this study in The Doctors TV show.

Since then, more and more people saw the wonders Moxipoint Acupen is capable of. The supplies are having difficulties meeting the surge in demand, and they are almost sold out at most drugstores and pharmacies. Fortunately, there are still some stocks available online.

So, get your hands on the Moxipoint Acupen while you still can, and gain all the benefits of acupuncture and more, minus the needles. Effective, safe, with no side effects or risks of addiction, it is easily the best alternative to painkillers.
