In this episode of Ask the Doctors, Dr. Karen Kan and Dr. Dennis explore common questions about X39—parasites, detox symptoms, nerve support, accident recovery, lung health, and why patches may stop working. They discuss how GHK copper peptide doesn’t activate in parasites, how electrical shock sensations often point to nerve issues, and the importance of minerals, nutrition, and proper hydration for lasting results.

Q&A Intro
Dr. Dennis mentioned that certain over-the-counter (OTC) pain medications can cause Liver Qi stagnation. Although this can temporarily relieve discomfort in the head, the Qi imbalance can cause future head energy congestion, exacerbating the issue. When Liver Qi (Wood) stagnation is significant, it can overtake the Spleen (Earth) energies, resulting in symptoms such as blood or fluid leakage, or digestive problems. He recommends IceWave patches to “clear blockages” if someone has discomfort, rather than relying on these OTC medications.
Q&A Submissions
Melody
Q: I would like a patch recommendation for an adult who is concerned that X39 might increase parasite activity. What should I use instead?
A: Dr. Dennis explains that while X39 stimulates GHK-Cu, there is currently no evidence that parasites produce or utilize this peptide. Although EMFs in the home (such as 5G or Wi-Fi) or in the environment can simulate parasite activity, it remains unclear whether parasites are capable of responding to the frequencies emitted by the patch.
To support the gut and alleviate symptoms potentially linked to parasites or digestive imbalances, Dr. Karen recommends using acupoints associated with the Spleen and Stomach meridians, such as Spleen 6, Stomach 36, and Stomach 37. For bloating, Stomach 25—located on either side of the belly button—may be beneficial. It is the Mu Point for the Large Intestine and supports digestive regulation.
Meridians such as Zigong and Chong Mai may also be relevant depending on the individual’s symptom pattern and underlying imbalances.
Mindi
Q: I would like a patch recommendation for myself. I have rods in my back and experience muscle spasms. I’ve already tried IceWave and Aeon. What else can I use to help calm the spasms?
A: Dr. Dennis recommends a “Triangle Strategy” using IceWave on BL57 (located on the back of the calves) and a Y-Age patch at the apex of the triangle. Apex points may include GV4 (Life Gate), GV14 (back of the neck), or GV19–20 (top of the head). This geometric arrangement can increase the body’s bioelectrical current and support energetic coherence. Using conscious intention with this configuration may enhance the materialization of greater physical comfort.
Carnosine patches have shown benefit for individuals experiencing muscular spasms. Dr. Dennis suggests placing Carnosine near the lower back or the lowest point of the triangle. The other patches (such as IceWave or other Y-Age options) can be placed above Carnosine on the points mentioned above.
Some people may also benefit from addressing mineral imbalances, particularly those of Magnesium, Potassium, and Calcium. Consulting a Naturopath may be helpful. Dr. Dennis recommends a product called Magnify by Dr. Wolf, which includes Magnesium Glycinate and is available at thenaturalheartdoctor.com.
John
Q: I would like a patch recommendation for a friend who experiences intense electrical shock-like sensations in the core of his body, especially the low to mid-back. The discomfort ranges from 6 to 10 out of 10. Warm temperatures help, but a cool breeze can trigger the symptoms, and when it happens, he breaks into a visible sweat. It feels like ungrounded lightning strikes. What patches might help?
A: Dr. Dennis explains that the insulation of the Schwann cells in the body is composed of phosphatidyl lipids. Ideally, the body should rebuild this insulation, possibly with the support of a phosphatidyl choline supplement—pending approval from a Naturopath.
Placing X39 and X49 to bracket the area of discomfort may help restore energetic flow through the affected region. IceWave and/or Aeon can provide additional support. Consider experimenting with different protocols, such as the Brain Balancing Strategy using Aeon, or applying IceWave on either side of the pain to calm the nervous system.
If the individual received toxic injections in recent years, their immune system may be under additional stress. In such cases, Dr. Dennis recommends using Glutathione patches to help support the body’s detoxification pathways.
Lauri K.
Q: I would like a patch recommendation for an adult who experienced a severe car crush injury affecting the brain, spinal cord, and neck. What’s the best way to support the healing process with patches?
A: Dr. Dennis recommends watching the “The Miracle Man” film, which can be an inspiring resource to share—when the timing feels right.
For supporting neurological and structural recovery, applying X39 and X49 to the recommended acupuncture points found in the brochure can be beneficial. Specific point combinations may include:
- KI1 (bottom of the feet) with X39
- GV20 (top of the head) with X49
- Alternating use of IceWave on KI1 and X39/X49 on brochure-suggested points, along with Aeon on GV20
- Alternating X39/X49 on LI4, with Tan IceWave patches on KI1 (Note: this may leave extra White IceWave patches unused, or they may be placed over the X39/X49 patches)
These protocols aim to stimulate energetic flow from head to toe, integrating central nervous system recovery through key meridian pathways such as Chong Mai.
Additionally, Dr. Dennis suggests topical magnesium oil or lotion on the legs to support muscular and nerve repair. Homeopathic remedies tailored by a trained homeopath may also help address trauma recovery holistically.
Dan
Q: I would like a patch recommendation for someone with chronic lung issues. He feels short of breath and was told his condition will worsen over time. Energy Enhancer patches on Lung 1 provided slight relief. He can cough up white phlegm, but has pain in the back of the lungs from coughing. It feels like his lungs are tightening or scarring. What patches might help improve breathing and support lung repair?
A: Dr. Dennis explains that the pleura—the outer lining of the lungs—relates to the upper “heater” in Chinese Medicine. Supporting the San Jiao (Triple Burner) meridian may help regulate fluid dynamics in this region. CV22 is a key point for accessing the lungs and can help calm or stop coughing.
A Distal Strategy for working with the sinews and fascia includes:
- BL22, the Shu Point for the San Jiao, which supports fluid flow in the fascia
- GB34, a key point for sinews, which may help expand and loosen the fascia
A local strategy focuses on creating triangular patching configurations around the lungs:
- Carnosine on CV17
- Energy Enhancer on Lung 1 or Lung 2
- IceWave on the back, such as BL22 or BL17
BL17 is the influential point for Lung Qi and is also associated with releasing unexpressed or stuck emotional energy stored in the chest and back.
This approach combines both structural (fascia, sinews) and emotional (Qi flow) support to assist in respiratory recovery.
Violet
Q: I’m vegan and have had great results overall, but some symptoms return every few days, and then it feels like the patches stop working. Aside from the Brain Balancing Strategy, what else can I do for more consistent symptom relief?
A: Dr. Dennis explains that it’s possible your body may not have enough Qi or nutrients to synthesize the peptides needed for healing. Despite taking plant-based minerals, you may still be lacking essential building blocks.
Two resources to explore are:
- Amino Acid recommended by Dr. Karen: KarenKan.com/PerfectAmino
- Supplements recommended by Dr. Karen: PatchTrainingTeam.com/Supplements
These may help ensure your body has what it needs to benefit from the patches fully.
It’s essential to strengthen the roots first—supporting your Kidney energy and overall Qi—before initiating deeper detoxification, which requires significant energy and resilience.
Suggested Qi-supporting points include:
Spleen 6, Stomach 36, Kidney 1, Kidney 3, Bladder 23, GV4 (Life Gate), and Kidney 27. Apply X39, X49, and/or Energy Enhancer patches on these points to fortify energy reserves.
Dr. Karen also recommends her Holographic LightBody Detox and Rejuvenation program, a limited-time offer available through You Wealth Revolution, which provides in-depth guidance on detoxification and neutralizing negative energies.

Yin/Yang Patch Pair
Please note that when we mention the Yin-Yang patch pair, we mean a pairing of two patches, whereby the one on the left is relatively yin compared to the patch on the right.
Examples of Yin/Yang phototherapy patching pairs are:
- Energy Enhancer: The Tan patch is yin, the White patch is yang
- IceWave: The Tan patch is yin, the White patch is yang
- SP6C + Aeon: SP6C on the left (yin), Aeon on the right (yang)
- Carnosine + Glutathione: Carnosine on the left (relatively yin), and Glutathione (yang) on the right
- X39 + X49: X39 on the left (yin), X49 on the right (yang)
Yin/Yang meridians pair also refers to patching a Yin acupuncture point on the left side of the body and a Yang acupuncture point on the right side, belonging to the same element.
Examples of Yin/Yang element pairings:
- Fire: Pericardium/Triple Burner (more emotional) or Heart/Small Intestine (more physical)
- Earth: Spleen/Stomach
- Metal: Lung/Large Intestine
- Water: Kidney/Bladder
- Wood: Liver/Gallbladder
