Press Release! New Book! THE UNIVERSAL HEALING POINTS by Dr. Benoit Tano MD. and Dr. Anthony B. James ND(T), MD(AM), DOM(Acu), RAAP

Definitive Guide Integrates Acupuncture, Homeopuncture, Marma Therapy, and Dr. Anton Jayasuriya’s Legacy to Empower Global Practitioners

[Brooksville, Florida – October 26, 2025]  With 80% of the world’s 6.4 billion people relying on traditional medicine (WHO, 2025), a new master guide bridges ancient point therapies with modern care. Today launches *”THE UNIVERSAL HEALING POINTS: Acupuncture, Homeopuncture, Marma Therapy, and Beyond: The Definitive Master Guide to Point-Based Healing, Ancient Science, and Dr. Anton Jayasuriya’s Legacy”* (ASIN: B0FXRDJ41G), co-authored by Dr. Benoit Tano, MD, PhD, and Dr. Anthony B. James, ND(T), MD(AM), OMD, RAAP. Available now on Amazon: [https://amzn.to/3L0z0ki]

Honoring Dr. Anton Jayasuriya’s legacy—treating 2.5M patients gratis, training 40,000 practitioners, and authoring 97 works—this 400+ page resource unifies acupuncture, Homoeopuncture, and 107 Marma points for pain, immunity, and vitality. Aligned with WHO’s 2025–2034 TCIM Strategy, it addresses access gaps (61% global modern care in 2022) via non-invasive protocols.

“Jayasuriya’s fusion revolutionized healing; we revive it with Marma and SomaVeda® for today’s chronic challenges,” said Dr. James, Grand Master Thai Ajahn and Dean, American College of Natural Medicine.

“Point therapies transform allergies and inflammation, our guide provides precise, ethical maps,” added Dr. Tano, Integrative Immunity founder.

Highlights:

The Universal Healing Points is the ultimate, all-in-one authority on acupuncture, homeopuncture, Marma therapy, and related point-based healing modalities — a work decades in the making. This book takes you far beyond surface-level techniques to reveal a unified, universal understanding of healing points that blends ancient traditions with cutting-edge science.

You’ll discover:

  • The complete history, origins, and masters behind every major modality, including Dr. Anton Jayasuriya’s groundbreaking contributions.
  • Precise anatomical maps for key points in acupuncture, Marma, and homeopuncture — including points shared across all systems and why they are so powerful.
  • Step-by-step treatment protocols for over 100 conditions, from migraines and infertility to autoimmune disease and emotional trauma. Includes 20 original illustrations by Dr. Anthony B. James.
  • The homeopathic remedies matched to each point, with instructions for applying them in homeopuncture and integrative protocols.
  • Neuroscience, molecular biology, and biophysics explain exactly how point therapy works — backed by brain imaging, molecular signaling, and immune system research.
  • Guarded, 0.01% practitioner-level secrets, including rare point combinations and seasonal timing sequences passed down only through closed lineages.
  • The present and future of point therapy worldwide, including the WHO position, policy frameworks, and global integration strategies.

Whether you are a practitioner, student, researcher, or simply passionate about healing, this book will become your definitive reference, training guide, and inspiration. It bridges ancient wisdom and modern science into a single system you can trust for a lifetime of clinical success.
