A Manual of Acupuncture (https://www.jcm.co.uk/book-shop/manual-ofacupuncture.html) I was approached in around 1990 by a publisher who wondered if I wanted to write an acupuncture points book. I declined because I thought that there were already too many on the market. Some time later I was talking to a friend who pointed out that the fact there were so many meant that there was a significant demand. I then began to conceive the idea of a book that offered much more than anything I’d yet seen.

The next step was to assemble a team. I ended up working with my close friend Mazin Al-Khafaji on the Chinese medicine part of the book and with a friend and colleague – Kevin Baker – on the point locations and illustrations. Mazin translated classical point indications from a variety of textbooks, as well as any commentaries and quotations (he had to educate himself in classical Chinese to achieve this) and together we wrote the point commentaries which are at the heart of the book. We met just about every week for eight years. The work that Kevin and I did was similarly exacting – again consulting numerous books and deciding on the best way to describe the point locations, followed by the careful commissioning of core illustrations. I later spent many hundreds of hours in front of the computer, turning these core illustrations into the point illustrations. As the book neared completion, I devoted myself full time to it for about a year – writing the introductory chapters, choosing the typography style under the guidance of John Chippindale, as well as deciding on paper, binding, cover etc. We tried to be equally fastidious about every single aspect of the book (for example spending a long time on layout to try and ensure that wherever possible the point location and point illustration were on the same page). Within a year or two of its publication, A Manual of Acupuncture (https://www.jcm.co.uk/book-shop/manual-ofacupuncture.html) became the standard points text throughout the English-speaking world. As well as the textbook (now also translated into German, French, Italian, Czech and Portuguese) it is currently available as a Point Cards Set (A Manual Of Acupuncture Point Cards), a Multimedia DVD, (http://www.jcm.co.uk/bookshop/product/catalog/product/view/9845/a-manual-ofacupuncture-dvdrom/) a smartphone/tablet app (Apple & Android) and an online app (http://www.amanualofacupuncture.com).

I have heard, that you have a great application for iPhone, and I am wondering if you have any plans of making a version of android?

Actually our developers aren’t keen to produce an Android version.

Dimitri July 30, 2013 at 3:57 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-ofacupuncture/#comment-122) Hi Peter, Please get New developers as they have no idea how you can make an app that can cut down on piracy. You can pirate IOS stuff just as easy as on Android. (I definitely do not pirate.) Right now I am in a dilemma as my wife is an acupuncture student and I either get her a tablet with your app for $250 or I get to pay $500 for an IOS device. (for student on a budget that’s a LOT of $) One of the reasons I searched for this thread is after reading latest tech news on how Android has overtaken Apple in tablets. ( http://www.maximumpc.com/numbers_android_king_tablet_market2013 (http://www.maximumpc.com/numbers_android_king_tablet_market2013) ) and this is just going to keep on happening. First phones, now tablets. More Android devices out there and your developers are shutting you out of a HUGE market share that can bring substantial revenues. I honestly do not see their reasoning for piracy on Android issue as the people who pirate will pirate and not much is going to stop them. My experience in combating piracy involves working 8 years for a major game publisher that shall remain nameless. Thank you.

Either we’ve had really bad luck or else this is typical for digital development but our 3rd set (!) of developers have taken till now to get a fairly simple upgrade of the iphone app up and running (hopefully to be sent to Apple this week). At the same time they have been working on turning the much larger Manual DVDRom into a web app which will be accessible on any machine that has a browser. We hope to launch this in the next few weeks (though all previous deadlines have been missed). If it still seems a good idea after these are done, they will generate an Android app. thanks Peter Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/? replytocom=123#respond)

marsha August 4, 2013 at 6:51 am (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-ofacupuncture/#comment-124) Hello. I have the text and the CDs/DVDs. Classmates with more income bought iPads and the app for that shows excellent video of point location and needling technique not on the CDs/DVDs. Will your web version have the video imaging available? I don’t have extra money for an iPad, but if that has been the only way to get those useful videos. I do hope that aspect of the application is expanded to the PC world, and perhaps the Android world. Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/? replytocom=124#respond)

Sofia Alva August 13, 2012 at 11:03 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-ofacupuncture/#comment-79) Dear Mr Deadman. I consider your book one of the most complete and well written on acupuncture. I have a question regarding the names of the yin channels. Jue means “between two”. In the case of the yin channels of the hand is correctly named but in the case of the yin channels of the foot the liver channel is more lateral/external (more yang) than the spleen channel so shouldn’t be caled jueyin. The speen channel is between the kidney channel and the liver channel and should be called jueyin (between two). Looking forward to hearing from you Sincerely Sofia Alva Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=79#respond)

peterdeadman (http://peterdeadman.wordpress.com) August 14, 2012 at 8:44 am (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/#comment-80) Hi Sofia Well first of all that is how they are named traditionally and we’re not going to mess with things by renaming them. Secondly, in places on the leg, the Liver channel does run posteriorly to the Spleen channel. Thirdly, on the trunk, the Liver channel lies between the Kidney and Spleen channels. best wishes Peter Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=80#respond)

Han (http://gravatar.com/zhihao81) December 16, 2012 at 10:14 am (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/#comment-98) Dear Sofia, I am a chinese and would like to add in some words. Jue does not mean “in between”(I don’t know where you get that from). It means “the end of something”. In Shang Han Lun, jue yin means that the illness has progressed to the end(critical stage)-The patient is going to die. In normal yin yang functioning, it also refers to the the end(extreme) of yin.

Sergi Teijon October 25, 2012 at 1:19 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-ofacupuncture/#comment-83) I think it’s a mistake because there are a lot of android users and we we’ll enjoy this app. I think there must be any way to avoid hackers because there are a lot of good apps on android store (google play) and many of them are not free (skyscape’s washington manual, sanford guide…). In my group of acupuncture learners there are a lot of sad android users that can’t use your program on android devices. Please re-think this possibility.

peterdeadman (http://peterdeadman.wordpress.com) May 28, 2013 at 7:47 am (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/#comment-117) Well, here’s the latest … We don’t have a date on the Android app yet as we are still waiting for the long-delayed launch of the Apple app upgrade (it’s close). The Android app is due to follow. BUT!!! the same developers are working on the upgrade to the Manual DVDRom which no longer functions on the latest Apple & Windows OS. After much discussion, we have decided that we will no longer publish this as a DVD but as a web-based application. This is the all-singing all-dancing digital version of the Manual (entire text, point locations videos, multiple test functions etc.). The upside of it being a web-based application is that it can be accessed on any device that has a browser, it can be updated easily, the videos can be high quality and it won’t suffer from OS upgrades. The only downside is that users will need broadband to use it. We are hoping for a July launch. Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/? replytocom=117#respond)

I am a first year student and I own your book and find it to be the best choice for my studies. I also purchased the CD Rom for a windows computer so that I could watch the videos for point location.

peterdeadman (http://peterdeadman.wordpress.com) November 5, 2012 at 10:02 am (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/#comment-87) Hi Anna At the moment, no, there’s simply no way to transfer across because Apple controls dissemination of all apps and they are not cross-platform. However we will be introducing a completely new system early in the new year offering a way of using any of our Manual digital products on any of your devices. It will involve a small monthly rental payment but if feasible we will introduce a free period of rental for people who have previously bought the DVD. Details will become clearer nearer the time.

At the moment our developers are working on, a. an upgrade to the iPhone/ipad app with some additional content but not the whole book, and b. an expanded and improved version of the DVD which has been out for a few years. The DVD (better call it the multimedia suite) will work on ipads and computers. The plan is to sell/rent users a licence which will allow them to use either of these applications on any device they own (iphone, iPad, laptop, desk computer … and eventually Android etc.).

peterdeadman (http://peterdeadman.wordpress.com) February 17, 2013 at 5:44 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/#comment-105) Hi Ele The app is a trimmed down version of the book. The point names, categories, locations, location notes, cautions, indications and actions, and illustrations are the same and of course the app has videos where the book does not. However the ‘meat’ of the book is the long commentaries on the points and this is absent from the app. The DVD which is currently being revised into a new version has the best of both the book and the app plus more besides (some great self-testing modules) but then again some people (like me) just love books.

We had to sack one lot because of failure to deliver, their replacements decided after a few months they couldn’t manage the job and we are on our third now. Fingers crossed. At the moment our priority is to get the promised iPhone/ipad upgrade out but as soon as that’s done we will ask about Android. Apologies for the delay.

Actually it looks unlikely we will develop the app for Android at the moment because instead we are getting our Manual of Acupuncture DVDRom redesigned as a web application. This will be accessible by any device that can get online and will have the entire contents of the Manual plus extras such as videos, self-tests etc. best wishes Peter Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=121#respond)

Unfortunately she has an Android phone. I applaud your strategy of developing a web app. She could then use a tablet device to access your materials.

The situation at the moment is that the iphone app will be rolled out for Android devices by the end of the year. It is a stripped down version of the full digital book (no commentaries for example) but full of content and features. It will work well on phones and tablets. The web app which is the full monster digital version is a bit more complicated. We’ve only just discovered that it won’t be optimised for Android tablets and are having to make a decision about whether to support the further development costs.

Richard Starkey April 19, 2014 at 9:25 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-ofacupuncture/#comment-176) Hi Peter You use yin and yang in (at least) three ways in the Manual. I’m struggling to understand the third use and am hoping you might clarify. First, the terms are used as positive adjectives. E.g. the five zang are yin whilst the six fu are yang (p31) Second, they’re used as comparative adjectives. E.g. when the body is covered and the more yang defensive qi is no longer needed to protect the surface (p218) And third. they’re used as nouns. E.g. Restores the yang (p103) Revives the yang (p158) When the yang is abundant, the eyes are staring open; when the yin is abundant, the eyes will be closed shut (p321) Raises yang and counters prolapse (p552) This third use suggests yin and yang are substances. If they are, I’d be most grateful if you could clarify exactly what substances they are! Thanks Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=176#respond)

I don’t think 3. necessarily implies substance, although – in the wonderfully flexible use of yin and yang – yin can equate to matter/substance.

peterdeadman (http://peterdeadman.wordpress.com) February 18, 2015 at 4:57 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/#comment-216) Hi Melanie. I have spoken to our developers. They think this is an easy glitch to fix (they have the app working fine on 5.02 in their office) and will post a new version up next week which they hope will overcome the problem.

Chera (http://www.cheramulder.nl) March 27, 2016 at 3:42 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/amanual-of-acupuncture/#comment-236) Dear mister Deadman, I have been using your book, DVD-Rom and application for quite some time now and I am very happy with it. I recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 10 Home and it seems I can not run your program. The installation is no problem, but after I try to run it it keeps hanging with Loading… After a few seconds it shows the error: ‘The projecter file is corrupt’. Of course Quicktime is installed. Is your program still compatible with the latest Windows? The DVD is 7 years old now and says it’s compatible with Vista, that’s been quick some time ago now. Thank you.

This worked on my windows 10 upgraded computer, but it won’t install on my new surface. I work in a WiFi free zone, so the online version isn’t useful for me.

Thank you for such a wonderful detailed informative book. This book is a truely great credit to you all. I am only studying the microsystem of the face with John Tindall. However I also wanted to understand some philosophy behind points, etc. I will be reading for the rest of my life! I would also like to point out the book is a trillion times more beneficial than any download. Well done for such hard work. : ) Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=239#respond)

Gabriel Doe Jr. (http://peterdeadman.co.uk) November 17, 2016 at 3:40 pm (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/#comment-426) Hello Peter. First of all, I would like to say I bought your ( to include Mazin Al Khafali and Kevin Baker) manual on 10 April 2009 from Amazon and I still refer to it often for trace acupressure massages which actually offers great relief. I am still impressed as ever about the wonderfully detailed drawings of the points and techniques. Alas, I am very sad that you don’t have a Kindle fire addition because if you did, I would also purchase it because, I travel a lot and it’s just not practical to carry that heavy tome in my suitcase so, if you ever do decide to ( I dont care how much memory it would consume) have a kindle addition please let me know so I can get it. Thanks for your time. Gabriel Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=426#respond)

If you have any applications on Viaduct, please ensure they are migrated before this date. You can contact us at any time if you need any assistance.” Is there a back-up site where we can view the movies to locate the acupuncture points? Will the site be back up again soon?

Peter Deadman November 17, 2017 at 9:48 am (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-ofacupuncture/#comment-531) Hi Kristine Thanks for the email. I think the best thing for you is to consider the online edition (amanualofacupuncture.com). It is in the process of being upgraded and the new version will be launched on December 4th (hopefully). It is designed to work on all devices. But you need to know it’s an online application so you need an internet connection. If you want to access an application without internet access you need to buy the iphone/ipad application but it won’t work on your Mac. I’m sorry I haven’t heard of anything similar for horses. best wishes, Peter Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=531#respond)

Peter Deadman January 10, 2018 at 9:48 am (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-ofacupuncture/#comment-539) Hi Annabelle. I’m sure by now you’ve been given the order of the channels (Lung LU, Large Intestine L.I., Stomach SP, Spleen SP, Heart HE, Small Intestine SI, Bladder BL, Kidney KID, Pericardium P, Sanjiao SJ, Gall Bladder GB, Liver LIV. Within the channels just sort according to point number e.g. LU-1, LU-2, LU-3 etc. Any other cards (not included in above) are extraordinary points and the order is not that important, although if you are fussy consult a copy of A Manual of Acupuncture textbook in your school library and you will find them there. Good luck with your studies. Peter Reply (https://peterdeadman.co.uk/writing/a-manual-of-acupuncture/?replytocom=539#respond)
