Welcome to the Ampuku Wellness Therapy Blog
Our first blog is more of a welcome that anything else; describing what Ampuku is about and what to expect from future postings.
First: What is Ampuku? Where did it come from? What is it to me?
Originally, Ampuku was a philosophy that combined mind and body in a single entity that was controlled by energy flows navigating the mind and body through pathways. The centre of these pathways was the Hara (Stomach). By stimulating these pathways in the Hara, one could correct or fine tune the ability for all the body systems to work together keeping the mind and body healthy and at peak performance. Ampuku Wellness Therapy takes what I learned from my mentors to another level. Summed up in what we call the 5 R's of Ampuku. It may be considered by some westerners to be rebellious to their way of thinking. And indeed it is. However, it is not a Western philosophy but an Eastern one, so that it would promote non-western ideas is not surprising. I studied Ampuku in Towada-ko, Japan in the mid-sixties under three practitioners that reorganized the philosophy after the lifting of General MacArthur's ban on massage during the American occupation of Japan. It seems that the West was not ready to deal with Ampuku's claim to actually heal the body. After the lifting of the ban, other forms of Japanese/Eastern massage took up where they left off; Ampuku's claims kept them in the background.
What is it to you? Consider what it is to me.

What is it to you? Consider what it is to me.
- I drank like a fish; looking at life through the distorted glass fish bowl. I no longer drink- not even socially.
- I smoked up to 3 packs of cigarettes a day for over 35 years. I no longer smoke. Quit cold turkey; no pills, no patches, no interventions.
- I had been diagnosed with "Classic Migraine Syndrome" and on as many as 7 tranquilizers a day; every day for 24 years. I have been migraine free for over 6 years. I do not even take pain-killers. No pills, no pain, no hospitals.
- I am a cancer survivor. No side effects of the Radiation treatment. No Chemotherapy. No surgery. No Cancer; I have been cancer free 4 years now!
Most importantly, it is a drug-free (prescription drugs) alternative for everyone. Our non-profit interactive site is a good place to read all about experiences with not just Ampuku but other alternatives to conventional medicine or share your own.
In future postings, I will be providing alternatives on many health calamities you may be facing.
It was great talking with you.
