The concept he will explain to us is a holistic treatment concept based on TCVM, but using modern knowledge of ear acupuncture and laser acupuncture and pulse controlled finding of “active acupuncture points”. PCLAC is a link between modern western ART OF HEALING in the best sense and TCVM without having the abuse of the modern Health industry, but using modern knowledge. Can you imagine checking out all relevant ailments going on in an animal within a few minutes? For all underlying factors that causes chronic allergic and degenerative disease? All this information provides the EAR for us! You can “ask” your patient for this information by RAC pulse control. Learn about this fascinating modern treatment.
