DIAGNOSIS OF INFANTS ELECTROMAGNETIC POINTS

It would be difficult to diagnose infants ailment due to their inability to speak, to show the area of pain or even to describe the pain. Therefore, mothers have to use their sense of touch, sight and hearing to recognize the problem. When using the sense of sight, mothers should look for any physical or skin colour changes of the baby. The normal skin colour of the baby is on the pinkish side. If it changes into a paler shade or bluish, it will mean that the baby may lack oxygen, feeling cold or reduced blood circulation in that particular area. For the sense of touch, the first to feel or touch is the temperature and the surfaces of the tissues or organs. If the body temperature rises up to 37.5 C, it shows that there is an infection or inflammatory.

The normal tissue surface, when touched or pressed will feel a bit smooth. There will be no change when compared to tissues with problem where the surface will feel rough and wrinkled.

ADVANTAGES OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC POINTS DIAGNOSIS

Electromagnetic points are the end tips of the autonomic nerves. These nerves generally act to control the internal and external organs and to acclimatize these organs to the environment. When the environment gets cold, these organs will stimulate the circulation organs and other organs to store heat to warm the body. The same goes for other situations. The nerves act to balance the situation in the body to the situation outside. Pain to the organ causes pain to react at the autonomic nerve endings. If the nerve endings fail to function, it will react to organs in the same networking. This phenomenon causes the functions of the organ to be disturbed. The close connection between the nerves and the organs enable us to diagnose internal pain by using the magnetic points.

Advantages of the electromagnetic points diagnosis

1. Determines the area and condition of pain precisely. 2. Easy and no sophisticated apparatus needed. 3. Determines the pain stages before turning chronic. 4. Determines the development prognosis. 5. The points can also be used for treatment. 6. Easy to remember the locations of these points due to their systematic and simple locations.

INFANTS INFANTS POINTS DIANOSIS

There are six electromagnetic points and four electromagnetic lines used in diagnosing infants. These six points represent the specific structures of the gastro intestine organ, kidney, lungs, heart, the head and neck structures. The four electromagnetic lines represent the general system i.e. the hormone, lymphatic, nerve and circulation system.

I have explained all the functions and roles of the above systems and organs from Chapter 3 to Chapter 9. Please refer to these chapters to know the roles of these organs. You also need to know about the location of these electromagnetic structures. These locations are easy to remember because they exist and are paired close to each other. You only need to remember two or three locations as guidance to remembering all the structures and electromagnetic diagnosis system. (Refer Fig 10.1 and 10.2)

EXAMINING THE ELECTROMAGNET POINTS AND LINE

To find out the cause of the problems faced by the infant, you have to examine first the points or lines involved. Knowing the points and lines involved means that you already know the problems faced by the infants. There are two methods or ways in examining the points and lines on the infant and that is by touching and examining them. Touching means pressing the points or lines one by one. And feeling the condition of the tissues. Normal points should be intransigent, not to soft nor to hard. If the tissues on these points or lines are a bit soft, the organs that they represent have just faced a problem. However, if these points or lines are a bit hard, the organs or systems that they represent are already aching. By way of looking, you should analyze the tissues on these points or lines of their shape and colour. In points or lines that have just started to ache, you will find the colour to be reddish with a little swelling. For organs and systems that have been aching for quite sometime, the tissues on these points are a bit darker and dryer. Early diagnosis using this electromagnetic points would be able to tell that the organs and systems involved are only in

stress condition and no damage has been done to the cells or tissues. This is the advantage of using the electromagnetic points diagnosis. It enables us to recognize the problem before it becomes chronic or long lasting.

WAYS OF DIAGNOSING
There are three steps to diagnose infants. Before starting, ensure that the hands are dry, not wet or oily, so as to feel the changes and the infants condition clearly. Step 1 : Put infant down in a comfortable position e.g: in a

prone or sitting position. Press all the points on the lower calf. Then move to the upper part of the lower arm. (Figure 10.1 and 10.2). Recognize the point representatives that are experiencing changes. (Table 10.1)
Step 2 : Then move on and press the electromagnetic lines.

Start from under the calf and move on to the upper part of the lower arm. Recognize and remember the line representatives that are experiencing changes.
Step 3 : After recognizing the point and line representative,

that is the organs and sytems, you can start treatment on the

area by looking at examples given from Chapter 3 to Chapter 9.

STARTING TREATMENT
After locating the area of pain, you can start treatment based on the organs with problem or refer to the respective chapters. You are advised to massage once or twice a day after bathing and before meal in the morning and evening. Si Manjaku Massage is a preventive treatment and a treatment to boost your infants health. It is not a treatment to cure diseases. This massage only helps to reduce causes and symptoms in the early stages. If your infant is suffering from an acute or chronic problem, I would advise you to see a doctor or a child specialist. This is because diseases of the 21st century are a bit odd due to eating habits, environmental changes and daily activities which cause the body defense system to weaken. It is different from the old days when all these factors were in balance. Lastly, I hope you will benefit from the Si Manjaku Massage Technique and I pray that you and your family are in good health, God willing.
