The following is a recap of some of the questions and answers that were made during an episode of the Ask the Doctors Podcast with Dr. Karen Kan & Dr. Dennis Lobstein. These two individuals are amazing contributors to the LifeWave education community and I owe a lot of my learning and understanding around patching to their continual contribution to the community. I have recapped these questions to help me better learn and digest the information they share on their podcast. I trust you get the same value form them as I have.
During the Q&A session, several callers had inquiries regarding the patching techniques and specific points in relation to the different symptoms that they have been experiencing, looking for advice to help symptoms using LifeWave patches. Here are the summarized responses provided by Dr. Dennis and Dr. Karen:
Kathy R (LMC)
Q: After listening to your podcast on dental health, I've been diligently applying the recommended patches and following the 5-element 5-day detox. I have a question about teeth with root canals. Is it advisable to remove such teeth, or can they be repaired using patches like X39 and X49, along with dietary changes, supplements, and exercise to prevent further toxin release into the body? If repair is possible, could you suggest patch placements and additional supplements for repairing the L14th tooth? Thank you, Dr. Kan and Dr. Lobstein!
Dr. Karen: A tooth with a root canal can potentially harbor harmful bacteria as it lacks circulatory or nervous system tissue in that area.
Dr. Dennis: To detoxify this area with circulation, you can use glutathione and acupuncture points such as Stomach 5 and 6 on the jaw. In Chinese medicine, infections in this area are associated with toxic damp heat, treated using Large Intestine 11. The Yang Ming channel, which includes both the large intestine and stomach, can accumulate heat around the mouth. Stomach 44 can help drain toxic heat. You can use White IceWave on the right LI11 and Tan IceWave on the left ST44. If there's toxic fluid, consider Spleen 9 with additional patches like Aeon or X49 on the right and SP6C or X39 on the left.
Dr. Dennis: After a root canal, you can use hypochlorous acid for post-treatment care instead of antibiotics. It's possible to generate hypochlorous acid with a Kangen machine or even your immune system can produce it. Be cautious with chlorine dioxide and MMS as they contain chlorine and can be harmful if not used properly.

Q: My husband suffered injuries due to a fall, including a fractured 8th rib and trauma to his back, arm, and hand. How can we heal these injuries and manage the pain? Painkillers from the doctor haven't been very effective. Thank you for your guidance.
Dr. Dennis: To support the rebellious lung qi and help with coughing, place an IceWave patch on Lung 9. For pain mitigation, consider the Clock Method with IceWave or IceWave patches on Liver 3 and Bladder 18. Alternatively, use the bracket method with IceWave patches on either side of the pain area, optionally adding a third patch to form a triangle. Bladder 34 can be helpful for ribcage-related issues, so consider Energy Enhancers or a combination of GB34 and LV3. Additionally, Kidney 9 is effective for resetting the nervous system.

Q: My dog Buddy had a torn ACL, and your previous advice helped him recover. Now, he has an issue with his left hind leg joint. How can we use patches to assist him with this?
Dr. Karen: To reduce inflammation and promote stem cell activation, consider using X39 on the joint or create a healing triangle with X39, IceWave, and/or Aeon. You can also apply patches on his collar or observe if multiple patches cause overstimulation. Placing patches just above his tail might work too.

Q: I'm dealing with multiple health issues, including brain toxicity, thyroid nodules, and a history of stress-induced brain injury. I've struggled with detoxing due to brain overload. Can patches help, even though I smoke?
Dr. Dennis: To quit smoking, apply Sp6C on the left wrist and Aeon on the right wrist to mitigate withdrawal symptoms. For detox, consider the 5-element detox protocol using Energy Enhancer or X39/X49 combinations to support detoxification organs. Movement, like walking and stretching, aids lymphatic clearing. Patches can be used to dredge energy channels through the sweeping protocol.

Q: I want to thank you for your help with my dog Buddy's torn ACL. He's fully recovered. Now, he's showing signs of joint issues in his left hind leg. How can we use patches to assist with this?
Dr. Karen: To address joint issues, focus on reducing inflammation and supporting healing. X39 is a great base, and you can add IceWave patches directly on the inflamed joint. Alternatively, use X39 on the left and X49 on the right or place patches on Buddy's collar for convenience.

Q: My friend has severe dry, cracked skin with blotches and rashes. How can LifeWave patches help her?
Dr. Dennis: Start with X39 as a base to aid skin repair and elevate glutathione for immune support. Lung Qi supports healthy skin, so use Lung 9. Additionally, consider patches like X49 or Aeon to further assist with skin issues.

Mindy
Q: How can I support the HPTA axis using patches?
Dr. Dennis: For balancing the endocrine system, place Alavida on the third eye GV 24 at night to support the pineal gland's communication with the endocrine system. During the day, continue with patches on Bladder 23 to tonify Kidney Qi. Optionally, use Aeon behind the right ear and SP6C on the left Spleen 6 or Kidney 6.

Teddy
Q: My daughter has scoliosis and has been using IceWave patches to manage pain. How can she supplement her healing process?
Dr. Dennis: Use a Support Mountain triangle protocol with IceWave patches on Bladder 57, X39 between the kidneys, and patches over the worn-out vertebrae. Regularly applying patches on Gallbladder 34 can help maintain connective tissue integrity. For occasional pain around the screws, Carnosine on Gallbladder 34 can be effective. Consider block therapy for releasing, realigning, and reinflating fascial spaces.

Sophie
Q: My friend is new to LifeWave and experiences upper leg, knee, and hip pain. How can she use patches for pain relief and healing?
Dr. Dennis: Apply IceWave patches on Bladder 57 on the back of her calves. Place X39 between her kidneys for overall support. Consider using white IceWave on the upper back and tan IceWave on the lower back to support alignment. Alternatively, utilize Support Mountain points with IceWave on Bladder 57 and add X49 or Aeon at the Tai Chi pole. Carnosine can be placed on the Life Gate or sacrum (GV 2) for additional support.
Dr. Karen: Block therapy can also be considered to release, realign, and reinflate fascial spaces.
