In today’s show, Dr. Dennis Lobstein and Dr. Karen Kan talk about how to raise energy in the body to “rise” the energy to help support prolapsing organs in the body. Click HERE to join the free Patch Training Team Support Group on Facebook.
Dropping, sagging, is too much Yin. The organ to pull Qi up and pulling organs up is the Spleen. We’ll be talking how to reverse the drooping through supporting Spleen energy.
Western Medicine Perspecitves
Rectum hemorrhoids, pelvic floor, uterus, heart valves, umbilical cord (breech babies) are all examples of prolapse. The standard of care is usually surgery and physical therapy.
Chinese Medicine Perspectives
The approach is to raise the Qi so we go from Yin to Yang and use the energetics of the organs to support them and pull the Qi up. The spleen is the main organ for that. Spleen Qi deficiency is called by excess worry. Spleen doesn’t like too much cold, dampness, or sweet.
We need to strengthen the spleen. The Source point for the spleen channel is Spleen 3 right behind the big toe on the arch of the foot. Go to YinYangHouse.com for acupuncture point location help. It is also a Shu Stream points (see this show for how to use these types of points). These points reverse damp and energetic heaviness.
Spleen 4 is the Chong Master – that is the internal channel connected to the spleen that goes up the inside of the body connecting to the uterus and reproductive organs. It is good for uterine distension and distension of the gut.
We don’t want to use Spleen 5 as it sedates spleen channel. We want to TONIFY the spleen channel, so we want to skip this point.
Spleen 6 is the most common point and the point where all three YIN channels of the leg cross (liver, spleen, kidney channels). It is indicated for uterine prolapse as well.
Spleen 2 is a Fire point in the Earth (you’ll pull energy from the “mother” to the “child” in 5 elements theory) and that helps tonify the Earth. Spleen belongs to the Earth element. Spleen is the yin phase of Earth and Stomach channel is the yang phase of Earth.
Governing Vessel GV20 pulls yang Qi up and supports prolapse and an excellent point to “wake us up” and great for depression according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Conception Vessel CV3 is on cun above pubic bone (inch above approx) benefits the uterus.

Regulating the Spleen Qi – so it goes in the correct direction and balance.
Bladder 20 on either side of the side of the spine is the Shu point of the Spleen. The front Mu point of the spleen is Liver 13. It regulates Spleen Qi but is also the influential point for the Zang/Yin organs (non-hollow organs in Traditional Chinese medicine nomenclature). You can use any Yin/Yang patching pair (energy enhancer, icewave, aeon/sp6) and add X39 on the center line.
Dr. Dennis’ Triangle Protocols
Incontinence Support for Urine/Stool
Conception Vessel CV2 (X39, Alavida or any of the Y-Age patches) supports the bladder and urination. Together with Bladder 56 (Energy Enhancer or IceWave or a combo of Aeon on the right/SP6C on the left) on both sides is a strong protocol for helping incontinence. Bladder 57 is on the calf between the muscle bellies of the gastrocnemius calf muscles. If you go half way between BL 57 to back of the knee, you’ll find Bladder 56. That is a good point for treating incontinence.
Bladder 28 is good for urinary retention and too frequent urination (peeing too much). So you can replace Bladder 56 above with Bladder 28 if you have more urinary retention and frequency.
Uterine Prolapse Support
Bladder 31 with Energy Enhancer or IceWave (white on right, tan on the left) both sides is indicated for prolapse of the uterus. If you use BL31 with Energy Enhancer or IceWave in combination with CV3 with x39 patch or any Y-Age patches, that is another great triangle for uterine prolapse.
Emotions can cause Prolapse
Spleen 4 tonifies the home of creativity which is the uterus/chong channel. Let the flow of the sea of Qi. If you use Gallbladder 39 that tonifies the marrow, that would support creativity and helps with burnout and tiredness. When you prolapse you have Qi deficiency and “burnout” so this point may be helpful.
Sagging Organs and Skin
Collagen and elastin are involved with holding up the organs. As we age, those cells get less functional. The X39 helps to reverse those symptoms by rejuvenating with stem cells so they are younger and make more elastic protein to be able to hold up the organs.
Skin: lung 9 X39 on right and Alavida on the left when sleeping. Put a carnosine patch with repair (example on belly or third eye)
Organs: If we combine that technology and use GB39 to tonify the marrow and treat tiredness, we can support reversal of symptoms of prolapse and build more reconnective tissue.
Bladder 25 is the “let go” door and usually used to regulate diarrhea or constipation of the colon but according to Louise Hay author, it helps to reinforce Bladder 43, BL43 which is the Yellow Court regulator. If you have stuck emotional energy that you can’t let go of, use BL25 and BL43 together. This could be what is weighing down the heavy Yin that then causes sagging, dragging and drooping.
5 Elements Protocol
Use x39 on the right and the SP5C or Carnosine (relatively yin compared to X39) on the left side. Instead of the white energy enhancer you’ll be using X39 and instead of the tan energy enhancer on the left, you’d be using SP6C or Carnosine.
Brain Balancing Protocol with X39- Advanced
Do two weeks of Dr. Karen’s brain balancing protocol using Y-Age Aeon, then swap it out for X39. That will help clear neurological blockages and then repair damaged tissue and DNA.
Points to Avoid in Pregnancy (theoretically)
Bladder 60, Large intestine 4, and Gallbladder 21 pull energy down so are contraindicated in pregnancy when it comes to acupuncture. It pulls Qi down so that is why they can be helpful in headache. So you want to avoid these points if you have a prolapse.
Bladder 31-34 (sacrum), Bladder 67 (baby toe), Spleen 6 in certain cases such as pregnancy, and CV 3-8 (belly) are often avoided as well.
Questions for Dr. Dennis
- Nan: How to ground better? Bluish toes and now turning yellow. Put the X39 on Stomach 45 and may help stagnation as a more focused approach. You can put a Tan IceWave on the bottom of both feet. She is on her feet a lot all day.
- X39 point on CV 6 is causing red and dry spot but knee is much better. Advice: Use on the different location. Remember to hydrate well. She can also other patches like Glutathione or Y-Age Aeon patch. Heat toxins can be pulled out of the body.
- Melissa: She is resonating with using BL25. Can she use X39? Dr. Dennis says yes, use it on the right, and balance it with SP6C or Carnosine (relatively yin patches) on the left.

- Patty: how to specifically target sagging skin? Use Lung 9 with X39 on the right and Alavida on the left and carnosine on the center line.
- Lydia: Please clarify brain balancing protocol. (see above). Can she try this for severe forgetfulness? Dr. Dennis said definitely to try this protocol.
