John Kokko, a health practitioner and student of Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that Nouss-Ade’s ability to heal the entire mind-body-spirit connection comes from the specific type of chi that it carries. After researching the pattern of the healings occurring with Nouss-Ade, he has identified the presence of yuan-chi or original chi in the product.

Yuan-chi is the life giving root of all the 12 channels or meridians. It originates between the kidneys (Ren 4 - 6 Dantian). This energy spreads through the Triple Warmer (also known as the Triple Heater, San Jiao or Endocrine) meridian and the endocrine system, especially the thyroid, as well as all 12 organ systems. The yuan-chi then accumulates in pools at the yuan source points, which are adaptogenic treatment points in acupuncture. Adaptogenic therapies, such as Nouss-Ade, work on every aspect of health and function. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, they are known as Fu Zheng herbs, which restore normal, balanced function.

The yuan source points are divided into those that are yin and others that are yang in nature. The yin-yuan points tonify deficiencies, balance yin and yang, homeostatically harmonize the zang organs and stabilize emotions, providing a centering, earth-connection.

The yang-yuan points are not tonifying, but rather disperse pathogenic factors. The yuan-original chi is one of the bases for the traditional Chinese understanding of the immune system.

According to Sarah West, L.Ac., Academic Dean at the Traditional Chinese Medical College of Hawai’i, shiitake builds spleen chi, which is necessary for healthy immune function as well as being necessary for strong yuan-chi. Angela Longo, Ph.D., L.Ac., founder of the school, observes that Nouss-Ade builds chi, akin to practicing chi-gong (qi-kung). According to acupuncturist Jivan, this is the best way, along with stimulation of acupuncture points K3 and Ren4, as well as spiritual practices, to cultivate yuan-chi.

Ultimately, yuan-chi is seen as a spiritual force that is activated when we connect ourselves with God. Nouss-Ade appears to be a unique carrier of this spirit-strengthening yuan-ch or manna.

The energetic spine-support that yuan-chi provides is centered between the kidneys, in the house of the life-force of the will. This would explain why Nouss-Ade initiates people to action, is so effective with prostate cancer, depression, lethargy, apathy and just putting off the healing process and even the enjoyment of living. This also would explain the increase in libido reported by many.

Also, the wood element (liver/gall-bladder), which represents decision-making, courage and organization is the house of the etheric soul in traditional Chinese medicine. This is activated by the yuan-chi in Nouss-Ade to detoxify deep pathogens, bringing them to the surface. For instance, in conditions like deep flu and cancer, Nouss-Ade brings the external pathogenic forces out in a healing crisis of headaches and skin rashes. The heart and third eye are opened, increasing empathy and agape.

In summary, yuan-chi has many profound effects in the body:

Yuan-chi is closely related to the most precious and irreplaceable form of energy we have, the jing. Yuan-chi differs from jing in that jing-essence is what we are born with, cannot be promoted, but only preserved. Yuan-chi is seen as post-heaven chi, along with spleen-chi and governing vessel-chi. Both entities are considered spiritual and reside between the kidneys. Acupuncture school founder, Angela Longo, Ph.D., L.Ac., calls Nouss-Ade “magnified chi” which is concentrated at five points of light around the world. Thanks to Nouss-Ade we can now experience the benefits of this light energy without the need to make a spiritual/health pilgrimage.
