The “Case of the Day”  is a patient I’ve been treating for years to keep his allergies away.  It has worked well and he continues to come in monthly for a “booster.”  I use a protocol that I found which shows that this protocol (electroacupuncture at LI 11 and LI4 100Hz) improved salivary Iga and HRV.

 

Review: HRV is a measure of autonomic balance /stress levels)

Each group of columns represents one clinic visit, each column 3 minutes of data.

I look at each visit for response and also over time (weeks to months).

Notice how low his stress was in the last visits when I used this protocol!  Correlation does fnot equal causation, of course, but interesting.

This is his LF/HF data only (sympathetic over parasympathetic)  You would expect this to be lower, and, indeed it is.
