A 25-year old female patient has been suffering for approximately 3 1/2 years from cerebrale seizures. During this time the patient has been treated with Timonil and after a short period it was possible to reduce the dosage without recurrence of seizures. After the patient had successfully survived a long stay abroad in Asian and had returned to her daily routine the following happened:

The patient planned with short notice to go to the movies with her sister. The patient remembers that she stood in front of her wardrobe trying to make up her mind as to what she should wear. The next thing she knew was that she was lying in bed wearing her pajamas. A period of 45 minutes had passed in which the patient cannot remember anything. She neither knew what she was planning to do nor how and why she was in bed.

After waking up her memory came back slowly and slightly. She remembered that she had intended going to the movies but had a complete black-out with regards to the 45 minutes. She was suffering from severe headache and was somewhat dizzy. She made a telephone call to her physician and at 2100 hours she paid a visit the physician with her sister.

After a thorough neurological examination as well as examinations in accordance with the Yamamoto-techniques it was ascertained that the basis point was highly disbalanced, especially the transition between cerebrum und cerebellum. On the strength of these findings needles were exactly excerted in the pathological skull area. The headaches disappeared immediately.

The repeated control of the basis points localized in the arcus costalis (costal arch), left side, showed recurring activity from the cerebral area which was repeatedly corrected by simply turning the needle. After about 15-20 minutes permanent interaction with me, the patient’s recollection returned and she was able to report upon her memory gap. The headaches and the dizziness disappeared completely.

During the next few weeks we treated the patient in accordance with the Yamamoto techniques on a once per week basis, with good results each time. Based upon this experience we believe to understand that the YNSA diagnostic and therapeutical procedures can convey a very high precision on cerebale occurrences/disturbances and that these can be positively influenced by simple but nevertheless complicated needle insertions in the skull.
