Dear Wilson,
I don't agree with them!!!
I saw many famous experts of acupuncture in China, but nobody would only use these extra meridian points (Eight Confluent Points) in their acupuncture treatment!
Of course I myself would not only use the Eight Confluent Points in treatng my patients.
If these points could deal with everything, I think all the other points could be given up.
Certainly if these Confluent points are combined with others, that's another story.
In fact, in the textbooks of acupuncture in China, no matter nowadays or in old time, it is suggested to do the comprehensive treatment, with multiple ways of prescribing acupoints!!!
Besides, acupuncture differs from herbal materials, i.e. the needling techniques or manipulations are also very important, this factor should be never ignored.
For sure this is my individual opinion, I don't mean the others' opinions are not right, I have no right to look down upon the others' experience or knowledge.
