Foreword
Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture: Nephrology, Urology, & Andrology, is the third volume of material
compiled by Dr. James Maher. Many acupuncture texts, both theoretical and clinical, have been written in
Chinese; however, comparatively few are available in English. Dr. Maher' s contributions to the texts available
in English provide valuable guides to the clinical use of Tung' s Points. In his series, Advanced Tung Style
Acupuncture, Dr. Maher provides a comprehensive table of contents and point index, clear diagrams, and a
multitude of treatment protocols for an extensive list of ailments.
The table of contents enables readers to identify and contrast the point selections used by particular
practitioners of Master Tung' s acupuncture. One of the unique features of Tung' s acupuncture is the utilization
of the fewest possible needles, in order to avoid energetic conflicts. A common problem for early practitioners
and textbook practitioners is that of applying too many needles in order to affect multiple symptoms. Dr.
Maher's books list varying treatment protocols separately, thus making point combining more clear; the
practitioner is then less likely to become confused and overcomplicate his or her point selection.
Dr. Maher's point index highlights each time a point is referenced in the material, and makes easily
visible the multiple ways that a point or point pattern might be used. The use of Chinese characters in the point
index clarifies which points are being discussed, as there are many different translations of the same point name.
This index also cites the practitioners referenced, making it easy to follow a particular practitioner's treatment
protocols.
Point locations are precisely described, and the diagrams clearly drawn with appropriate adjacent rulers
for exact measuring.
The first section of Advanced Tung 's Style Acupuncture: Nephrology, Urology, and Andrology is useful
for both sexes, while the last section highlights male reproductive and genital issues. It is refreshing to have a
Tung's acupuncture resource focusing especially on andrology.
Dr. James Maher's work is groundbreaking. He brings Master Tung's Points to acupuncturists and their
patients via his new addition to what has quickly become his very own encyclopedia of resource texts. Dr.
Maher's devotion to making Master Tung's points and protocols easily and quickly available is especially
valuable to all who maintain a busy acupuncture practice. I wish to congratulate Dr. Maher for another volume
of outstanding work!
It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the work of Dr. James Maher, and most highly
recommend the series Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture.
Sincerely,
Susan Johnson, L.Ac.

Introduction
This volume, the third in the Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Series, arose as a direct
consequence of Volume 2: Obstetrics and Gynecology. Vol. 2 addressed disorders exclusive to females,
and many of those who purchased that volume enquired if there would be a complementary volume
specific for male disorders; ergo, the genesis of Volume 3- Nephrology, Urology, and 'Andrology' (~
H).
Originally, the notion of a volume specific to male disorders (~f-+ 'Andrology') seemed rather
straight forward but, as I began my research into the topic, the lines of distinction became somewhat
nebulous. It became evident during the compilation period that many of the disorders, which normally
fall under the purview of the urologist, afflicted males as well as females, namely: cystitis, frequent
micturition, urolithiasis, overactive bladder, hematuria, urethritis, polyuria, yadda, yadda, yadda. Thus, I
expanded the scope of this volume to include not only those disorders exclusive to males (e.g., prostatic
hypertrophy, cryptorchidism, erectile dysfunction, orchitis, impotence, phallalgia, premature ejaculation,
etc.), but also those renal and urinary disorders common to both sexes. Consequently, in addition to its
utility in dealing with male specific ailments, this volume will be expedient to any who do battle against
maladies of the entire urinary tract, regardless of the sex of the patient.
What this book is:

This, the third volume in the Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Series, is solely concerned with
the application of Master Tung' s Acupuncture to ailments (biomedical and TCM) of the urinary tract of
both sexes, as well as those disorders unique to males. It is entitled 'Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture'
because it, like Volumes 1 and 2 in this series, implies that the user has received prior instruction in Master
Tung's Acupuncture (e.g., that presented by Drs. Wei-Chieh Young, Palden Carson, Esther Su, Richard
Tan, Miriam Lee, Robert Chu, Susan Johnson, etc.). This text is not intended for use by the neophyte,
but rather as a reference to those who already have a working knowledge of Master Tung' s Acupuncture.
This text presents 300+ prescriptions for over 80 disorders culled from the Chinese language
Tung Acupuncture literature in my personal library - more than 15 different sources were referenced
(several currently out of print). From these Chinese language sources, I have compiled, collated, and
translated all the Nephrology, Urology, and 'Andrology' (~H) prescriptions proffered by the 'experts' and
applied accompanying diagrams for each disorder/disease to facilitate their application. Included are
author-specific point locations, needling instructions, contraindications and, when available, clinical
comments, lifestyle modifications, etc. all derived from the author(s) own personal clinical experiences
with Master Tung' s Acupuncture.
What this book is not:

This text is NOT an introductory text in the acupuncture of Master Tong Ching-Chang! Nor is it a
primer on the TCM theories governing Nephrology, Urology, or 'Andrology' (~N)- there are an ample
number of texts on the market concerning these topics.
ix
Structure of the book:

This volume is divided into two major sections with one appendix. The first section addresses
disorders (both biomedical and TCM) specific to the Kidney and Bladder suffered by both sexes; the
second section addresses maladies unique to the male. The appendix contains the Tung Style
Acupuncture points used in this volume, with text pages referenced, as well as the traditional Chinese
characters for the points used. The appendix also presents the points in terms of the numbering systems
used by Dr. Young and Dr. Lee in their respective texts. Should it become necessary, the reader can
easily convert the presented number into the system employed in Dr. Carson's text by simply dropping
the first number. For example: Shen4 Guan 1 [~;m/\: 77.18] would become 7.18 in Dr. Carson's numeric
system.
Individual Disorder/Disease Entries:

Located at the center of the top of the page is the name of the disorder/disease followed by a set
of parentheses e.g., 'Erectile Dysfunction' (LKC-1) [from Section 2 on p. 281]. Contained within the
parentheses is a series of letters and, perhaps, a number. The letters represent the author(s) and the
number represents the prescription number as presented herein. In the example above, the 'LKC'
represents the author Li Kuo-Cheng and the '1' represents the first prescription presented in this volume by
Dr. Li for erectile dysfunction. These numbers have NOTHING to do with 'superiority' of the
prescription (personally, I prefer to use the least number of points to get the job done), and merely
reflect how prolific the author(s) is (are) as well as layout constraints within Vol. 3.
Under the disorder/disease heading will be the points suggested by the author(s) which are to be
used in the 'first step'. In our E.D. example, Dr. Li suggests DMG 77-12 'Lower Three Emperors'
with Tong 1 Shen4 , Shui 3 Jin 1, and Shui 3 Tong1• The author(s) specific locations for the suggested points
are then presented and THESE are the locations that should be used for THIS prescription. One
should also employ the author(s) recommended needling technique(s) as well. ONE SHOULD
REMEMBER, THERE ARE DISCREPANCIES (sometimes significant) AMONGST THE VARIOUS
TAIWANESE AUTHORS, AND ONE SHOULD EMPLOY THE LOCATIONS AND NEEDLING
TECHNIQUES SPECIFIC TO THE AUTHOR(S) PROVIDING THE PRESCRIPTION - THIS IS
WHAT HE/SHE/THEY HAVE FOUND TO WORK FOR HIM/HER/THEM FOR THAT SPECIFIC
DISORDER OR DISEASE! Subsequent to the 'first step', there may or may not be a 'second step',
which would be listed next.
Subsequent to the 'steps' outlined above, 'point specific diagram(s)' illustrating the author(s)
specific point location(s) is/are provided. In our 'Erectile Dysfunction' (LKC-1) example, the
corresponding anatomical diagrams illustrating the suggested point locations then follow. The desired
consequence of the text is simply to provide the busy acupuncturist with the ability (once he/she has
become facile with the various point locations) to look up a given disorder, consult the accompanying
diagram(s), and go treat the patient! I sincerely hope this may all be accomplished merely in the matter
of moments!
