Resumen: Acupuncture activates the defense systems. It influences specific and nonspecific
cellular and humoral immunities; activates cell proliferation, including blood,
reticuloendothelial, and traumatized cells; and activates leucocytosis, microbicidal
activity, antibodies, globulin, complement, and interferon. It modulates hypothalamic
pituitary control of the autonomic and neuroendocrine systems, especially
microcirculation, response of smooth and striated muscle, and local and general
thermoregulation. Immunostimulant points include LI4, LI11, ST36, GB39, SP6,
GV14, BL11, BL20, BL23, BL24, BL25, BL26, BL27, BL28, and CV12.
Some, such as BL47, are immunosuppressive. Antifebrile points include GV14 and
ST36. Reactive reflex SHU points, MU points, and earpoints are useful in organic
diseases. In immunomediated diseases, some or all of these points can be used with
other points, especially local points and points of the major symptoms or points of the
affected body part, area, function, or organ. Applications of acupuncture include
treatment of inflammation and trauma; stimulation of tissue healing in burns, ulcers,
indolent wounds, ischemia, necrosis, and gangrene; infections; postinfection
sequelae; fever; autoimmune disease; allergies; anaphylaxis and shock; and
treatment or prevention of side effects from cytotoxic chemotherapy and ionizing
radiation. Acupuncture therapy may inhibit neoplastic cells. Examples of acupuncture
use in immunomediated conditions in small animals are given.
