Dr. Char, a holistic dentist, scientist, and homeopathic physician for over 40 years, has been at the forefront of addressing the causes of pain and illness rather than the symptoms.

These books are overall about holistic medicine, not just dentistry. Holistic medicine is about penetrating the cause of your health issues, not just covering up symptoms with drugs and surgeries. Dr. Char’s beliefs have always stood firm on the principle that the entire body is interconnected, and therefore failure to address causes from all of the facets of health (Spiritual, Emotional, Physical, Mental) will only cause existing issues to worsen. These books were published in 1980, but most of the information is still relevant and important today. Dr. Char was one of the few dentists in the State of Hawaii (and still is) to fully integrate alternative and homeopathic medicine in an everyday dental practice.

Electroacupuncture is an advanced form of traditional acupuncture which shares many similarities to its historical cousin. As with traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted on specific points along the body. These needles are then energized using small amounts of controlled electrical currents; voltage applied can be fine tuned  and calibrated in order to best address a patient’s specific health issues.

Originally published in 1980,  Electro-Acupuncture for Holistic Dentistry (also titled EAV Special) has become the classic manual for holistic health practitioners, doctors, and dentists integrating electroacupuncture into their practices to help their patients.   Author Dr. John K. Char, world renowned as a pioneer in the holistic healing arts,  was one of the few dentists in the State of Hawaii  to fully integrate alternative and homeopathic medicine in an everyday dental practice. Whether you are an interested layperson, dentist, or holistic health practitioner, this book discusses how to use EAV techniques to help patients with dental pain, discomfort, swelling, and much more.
