Case#1: A 42-year-old male junior executive and serious multi-sport athlete consulted my office complaining of severe, disabling right wrist pain, which he'd been suffering from for over a year. He stated that weekly tennis games had been put on hold and he had been forced to resign from his company's softball league due to the pain and inability to use his right arm.

In 1970, upon my return to civilian duty after serving in the U.S. Army as a combat medic, I became one of the first newly formed paramedics in the nation while trying to earn enough money to afford to enter into practice. As a result of my interest in emergency medicine, I would read the medical journals lying around the station on a regular basis. To this day, I recall one particular article that caught my attention, and I have thought about often.

In retrospect, we have been presented with eight meridians in Part I and II of this series and are now ready for four more. If you took my advice in Part II, you are very familiar with the meridians presented and in all liklihood have a few success cases under your belt. If you are typical, there are also a few people you didn't help at all. You probably thought you were the only one. Once we finish this series of articles we will expound on how to minimize your failure cases, but first things first.

Allow me to say "Thank you" for the positive comments and reports of cases which were helped through the words and thoughts of this column from around the world. Even though I receive letters on a daily basis from all parts of the globe filling me in on a particular case which totally turned around with the administration of simple stimulation to some of the reflex points we discuss in this column, one of the most exciting and, without question, most frequently reported turn arounds is the proper positioning of a fetus which had earlier been in the breech position.
