Pierre-Nol Delatte, M.D., has provided brilliant insight for those eager to explore self-healing through his five point acupressure therapy. He clearly demonstrates and explains how, given the right conditions, acupressure therapy can naturally boost immunity, biologically produce its own medicine, and heal the body.

Introduction

During my decades-long practice as a general practitioner, I could not help but observe certain mind-boggling therapeutic results, which were not obtained by official medicine. Further, the mainstream mindset and official Cartesian perspective were at a loss when it came to explaining those baffling outcomes.

I decided to search for answers. Hoping for clarification, I took an interest in a large selection of therapies such as vibratory medicine, color therapy, chromo therapy, magnetism, crystals, essential oils, floral elixirs (the famous Bach essences as well as German Andrea Kortes elixirs), and so forth. I started to explore diverse alternative teachings such as a particular system devised by Doctor Patrick Vret, known as Nutripuncture, as well as mesotherapy and kinesiology. I learned with great interest about Mohammed Haddads work on fractals and their successful use with certain types of cancer. In a word, I had a good look at many well-known and less-known systems that produce puzzling effects as yet unexplained by the general rational mindset.

For some reason, I felt I could not adhere to just one of the systems I learned about. So I decided not to limit myself to a single method, no matter how interesting it seemed. I did away with restricting boundaries and retained the systems with which I sensed a deeper harmony. My investigations, research, experiments, and selection of elements that could be amalgamated for the best results eventually produced a kind of melting pot. All this took me a long time, but my constant preoccupation and priority remained simplicity and rapidity of action to fight the enormity of the pain within and around us.

Over about fifteen years of extensive research I developed a five point touch therapy, which I have been sharing in my practice and the workshops Ive been conducting for some time. This book has been written because of a promise I made to share what I have developed with an even wider circle. I made this promise to those who enrolled in the workshops and were asking for written words, and to those who regretted missing the opportunity to attend. I made this promise to those among my patients who were concerned about times when I could not be available and to those who asked me questions such as: a member of my family who lives in France suffers from depression. Could you recommend somebody who does what you do? To this, unhappily, I had no answer.

Im definitely not a guru or a philosopher, but a little remark made by a friend, a Buddhist and a psychiatrist, has somehow made its way into my mind; he simply told me: What has been given to you must be shared.

I have made this book as practical and accessible as possible, so that everyone who reads it can do what I do. My objective is to help my readers deal with unexpected life challenges as well as with everyday occurrences, such as helping a baby made restless and sleep-deprived by painful colic or fright of the dark, without having to drug her, or giving a parent the means to help her child overcome crippling exam jitters so that he can recover his full potential. Two five point circuits are all that it takes.

I honestly think that my colleagues (doctors, psychologists, sophrologists, osteopaths, acupuncturists, homeopaths, and so forth) could benefit from the addition of five point touch therapy to their existing training and knowledge; this is already the case for many physicians who have enrolled in the workshops I conduct.

In addition, five point touch therapy, which I also call psycho-bio-acupressure (PBA), can really help you reconnect with your personal accountability and take care of those endless incidents that inexorably add up and eventually ruin your day. A little discipline and five minutes are all you need.

In the pages that follow, you will first find, in chapter 1, a clear definition of exactly what five point touch therapy/psycho-bio-acupressure is, in theory and in practice, and a brief description of how I developed it. Chapters 2 and 3 provide detailed descriptions of the twenty-two five point circuits used in PBA and the proper technique of their stimulation. Chapter 4 demonstrates the combining of the circuits into specific treatment protocols, followed in chapter 5 by a glossary of conditions and recommended protocols to alleviate them. Chapter 6 follows with an in-depth exploration of what I term the five golden rules for balancing energy, which help us to sustain the results of five point touch therapy. The appendix adds further detail about the evolution of five point touch therapy.

What Is Five Point Touch Therapy or Psycho-Bio-Acupressure (PBA)?

One cannot heal a part of the body as a part separate from the whole. The body cannot be healed as if it had nothing to do with the soul, and for the body and the spirit to be healthy, one has to take care of the spirit in the first place... Nowadays, it is a common mistake for the doctors to separate the soul from the body.

PLATO

Five point touch therapy or psycho-bio-acupressure is a simple, practical method, which has rapid results and is easily accessible and applicable to everyone:

• It is a simple method: it consists of the simultaneous pressure of five acupuncture points, which produces a printed circuit on the body. Each printed circuit specifically corresponds to a particular negative emotion that is being targeted. These circuits are then grouped into precisely defined protocols, selected according to the issue being dealt with.
• It is a practical method: it does not require any preparation whatsoever. It is discreet as well, for it can be used anywhere without attracting unwanted curiosity.
• It is a method with rapid results: a few minutes only are necessary to recover from extreme stress and to restore the means needed to manage it.
• It is a method that is accessible to everyone: no special knowledge is called for. Reading this book with attention as well as memorizing the different acupuncture points should be enough.
• Last but not least, besides being a very special self-acupressure method, PBA is applicable to everyone: it may be used to help other people, even children and babies.

Now just what does psycho-bio-acupressure (PBA) mean?

P stands for psychological because the stimulation of acupuncture points directly impacts our psychological state of mind. PBA successfully deals with temporary negative emotions (such as anger) as well as with more profound pathological issues (such as depressive states, chronic anxiety, or obsessions).

B stands for bio, which means life, because controlling our psychological state means managing our vital energies, and because this action on our mind definitely resonates with our physical state. Psychosomatic diseases are alleviated in the process. Our life can be radically changed because our life force can be stimulated. Just as organic agriculture prevents the soil, water, and air from being poisoned through the abusive use of chemical pesticides, biotherapies can prevent our bodies from being slowly poisoned through abusive use of psychotropic drugs. Instead, biotherapies enhance our bodys natural healing abilities.
