Masahilo M. Nakazono discovered the connection of human consciousness, speech, and the energy of life supported through the meridians. His reinterpretation of the source of Life Energy and its application in Meridian Therapy he termed Kototama Life Medicine. Thomas E. Duckworth spent thirteen years as Nakazono Osensei’s student. It was in that setting that Dr. Duckworth unlocked the arrangement of the Kototama pulse sequence. This diagnostic approach clarifies the Three Yin/Three Yang affiliation with the Five Element model and is known as Kototama Inochi Medicine. 

Founded in 2002, the Institute of American Acupuncture & Life Medicine provides the world with the contributions of Masahilo M. Nakazono by delivering inexpensive health care assistance to the public, teaching healthcare professionals and publishing relating to Kototama Inochi Medicine and the work of Masahilo M. Nakazono.
