Ryodoraku Textbook by Hirohisa Oda

So you’re probably asking, “What the heck is Ryodoraku?”

Well, as I understand it, it’s a technique used in acupuncture to diagnose and treat ailments using a battery operated machine. Apparently, this little machine is a meter that measures the current flow in your body. If the voltage current drops while you scan your body in certain areas, that means you have a located a place where an acupuncture needle should be applied. Also, the Acupuncture needle that is applied gets hooked up to a low voltage machine that sends electricity into the area where the needle was stuck into you.

When electricity flows down the needle, a very small/minor amount of damage occurs to the cells surrounding the needle. The interesting thing that happens with this technique, is that the body’s central nervous system receives a signal that major damage has just occurred and the body naturally takes a course to heal itself, thereby causing healing to take place overall. It’s supposedly more effective and faster in showing results than the traditional Acupuncture without electric current.

Sound crazy? Perhaps. This type of Therapy is used worldwide and is pretty neat stuff to look into. Of course, only licensed and properly TRAINED practitioners should use this type of Acupuncture treatment.

There is a textbook that I just helped finish convert to PDF format that can now be purchased at Ryodorakubook.com. This book was written by Dr. Hirohisa Oda and is no longer in print. People have searched for it in the past, but it was VERY difficult to find, so now, it is being offered for direct download. This book could be found in the past for $45 or more, and 1 possible dealer has it for $75! The site has it for only $24.95, which is an amazing savings for all who are interested in Ryodoraku.

Today, I know why this message has been given to me so strongly. I lost a dear friend tonight, a friend whom I loved like a brother. Great joy and sadness encompass me as I reminisce about the childhood days of playing countless hours of basketball with him and the “gang”. We all mourn tonight, but remembering that God’s will is to be asked for first has a way of “lightening” much of the pain.
God’s love is real, his power is real, HE is real. Although I prayed and prayed for healing to take place for my friend, in the end, God’s will is done and I am left to remember that God is still faithful and he heard my prayers, but my request was not as important as what God needed to do to show his love for all.
New Year’s Eve, God gave me a miracle and allowed me to have a chance to spend a little time with him. By his grace I got to pray over him and celebrate with him one more time. This past miracle sits deep in my heart with me. When I begin to wonder to myself why he chose not heal him this time when I had prayed for him and believed he would be healed completely and quickly.
The fact that I had the last day of 2009 with him, was a day that I know God put together specifically for me.
It may not seem like much to anyone else, but the circumstances that allowed me to be there could have only been accomplished with God being there for me and controlling the events of every little circumstance.
The passing of my friend has taught me one of the greatest lessons of my life.
Never pass up an opportunity to share Jesus with someone. Life is too short. I KNOW the truth and I had an opportunity to share it.
God’s will be done…

If you are reading this and you don’t know Jesus, you need to know 2 things:
1. Jesus loves you and he is waiting for you with open arms.
2. All you need to do is say that you believe Jesus was the son of God, and that he died for you. Then ask Jesus into your heart and believe in him.

By knowing #1 and doing #2, you are now under God’s blessings and you have solidified your place in heaven.

God Bless You!

Yeah, I know. I posted this same video 2 years ago. For me personally, it just never gets old.

I met Dr. Oda a few months ago and he gave me one of his books to read called “Real Ninja”. I found this book to be extremely fascinating as I learned more and more about what ninjas did and how they did it. Dr. Oda is educated in medicine & acupuncture, and has a real passion for history (which is evident in his book).

Ninjas were undoubtedly the best spies of their time. Mostly blending into society to gather intelligence about their enemy for their employers. Since ninjas were secretive about their identities, they were not “respected” in the way the Samurai were. They definitely had their place in espionage and altered the course of Japanese history with their work.

If you would like to learn more about what REAL Ninjas were like (this is not a Hollywood version, it’s actually better!), order it from the site by clicking on the Real Ninja Book Promo link here. This “official” Real Ninja site has special promo’s running that can’t be found on Amazon.com.

The Real Ninja homepage can be found at www.realninjabook.com.

1. If you are interested in buying the product, see if there is a “Trial” version available first and sign up to try it. Sometimes you’ll get an email offering you a discount once you become a “Trial” user.

2. Try clicking off the website to close the tab or change the URL website address to see if you can trigger a “Wait, Don’t Go” window that begs for your business by offering a discount as well.

3. If they have a sign-up place for their newsletter or some kind of free subscription, do it. Many times they’ll throw buying incentives (discounts) your way in the newsletters.

4. Do a google search for the product to see if others talk of a discount being offered.

Recently, I’ve been able to save over $100 on various products that I was willing to buy at full price. These savings have allowed me to buy more tools for a lot less. The internet has made things more affordable than ever due to the fact that no one needs to produce inventory. This means they (the seller) can cut costs and take a little less for their product rather than getting nothing at all.

I love technology!


While my mom and uncle spent a lot of time talking and catching up, I sat on the couch for hours amazed at the fact that the Kindle had all the following cool features:

1. It was hooked up wirelessly to the cell phone 3g network FOR FREE and could access the Amazon database anywhere there was a 3g signal.
2. I could browse endless books on subjects I wanted to know about. Many of the books allowed me to “sample” them by giving the first pages or chapters free.
3. The screen is amazingly clear, and the memory (although not upgradable) was enough to hold over 1000 books.
4. It could play mp3′s while you read to block out outside noise, and could also read the text right off the screen. (i didn’t test these features, but saw where the menu allowed you to select them.
5. If I wanted a book, I could download them instantly at the click of a button.

These were just a few of the “cool” features I found in the Kindle. My sister (who is a HUGE fan of the Kindle) mentioned a lot of other features as well and explained how some of the “competitor” lines like the Sony and off-brand e-books could not compare.

I visited a Sony outlet store in Gilroy on our way home just to do a little research myself  and found the staff at the store I went to clueless about the device when it came to understanding the difference between their unit vs. the Kindle. They gave me a lot of “I think it does this, and I think it does that…” which I hate. I’d rather a salesperson tell me they DON”T KNOW and call someone who does know instead of letting me think it does something it may not.

I saw that Barnes and Nobles is coming out with their own e-book called the “Nook”. Haven’t had a chance to look at one physically, but I’m curious to try them side by side and then leap in  to get an e-book that I can feel confident has all the latest features and that I will use. I have a ton of books and like to write in them and take notes, but see the benefits of having a digital e-book so I can carry all my reference books around in one place.

The only I real downfall I found so far is the lack of backlighting on the Kindle. For the most part, the screen is so clear, back lighting was not necessary since I was testing it in places where if it was hard to read, it would’ve been hard to read a regular paper book as well. Amazon has affordable accessories to offset this issue like the following book lamp:


I’ve been told that the battery lasts a VERY long time on the Kindle, especially if you do not leave the 3g wireless card on. It can last almost a week under normal use when not connecting to the wireless. The main reason for this battery longevity seems to be because its using such a simple LCD monochrome (colorless) screen and no back light battery consumption is taking place. So there is definitely something to be said about have a separate light that has it’s own battery. If you are ever without your charger, not having a light feature can be beneficial indeed to keep you battery lasting longer. I am sure the complaints for Amazon’s Kindle designers would all be concentrated around battery life had they installed a back light feature from the start.
