Magnetic Drag Acupuncture: How Voltage Collapse Reveals the Real Cause of Pain
When an acupuncture channel loses voltage, it creates a magnetic field that your hands can feel. In terrain medicine, this phenomenon—known as magnetic drag acupuncture—becomes one of the most reliable ways to diagnose channel or tissue deficiencies without ever picking up a needle.
In the video below, Dr. Jeremy shows you how to feel a real voltage collapse with your fingertips so you can identify the precise deficient channel, tissue, or neural level responsible for a patient’s pain.

Watch the Training: How to Feel Voltage Collapse With Your Hands
In this excerpt from one of Dr. Jeremy’s recent classes, you’ll see exactly what happens when a channel drops below the voltage required for healthy cellular function. When a region falls under the minimum threshold of approximately -20 mV, it creates a magnetic drag that interacts with your own electrical field. This is why certain points feel “sticky” when you glide across them.
This stickiness is not subjective. It is a measurable magnetic interaction that reveals where terrain has collapsed.
After watching, download the accompanying resource to apply these concepts directly in clinic.
Why Magnetic Drag Occurs
In terrain medicine, all disease is viewed as a breakdown in electrical charge. Cells, channels, blood, and interstitial fluids require a minimum negative charge to function properly. When voltage collapses:
-
cells stop regenerating
-
chronic disease develops
-
pain appears
-
a magnetic field forms
-
the practitioner can feel the drag in real time
This makes manual voltage diagnosis one of the most powerful tools available to an electroacupuncturist.
Using Magnetic Drag for Accurate Diagnosis
You can detect voltage collapse using:
-
your fingertips
-
a plastic spoon (static electricity tool)
-
light gliding across channels
-
cross-channel testing for clarity
Dragging across the channel (rather than along it) reveals deficiency more precisely.
A sticky sensation indicates the region is ready to accept free electrons, confirming a deficiency in the associated channel or tissue.
Acupoints vs Channels vs Tissue
Dr. Jeremy breaks down three levels of deficiency:
-
Channel deficiency (loss of voltage along a meridian)
-
Tissue deficiency (local collapse at muscles, fascia, or organs)
-
Neural level deficiency (spinal segments feeding the region)
All three can produce magnetic drag, and all three interact.
A long-standing deficiency at the channel level will eventually lead to tissue deficiency, which is why chronic pain is often multi-layered.
Why Static Electricity Works
Plastic and rubber accumulate static electricity. When glided over a channel, they amplify magnetic drag. This helps determine:
-
the most electrically collapsed point
-
the most responsive point for needling
-
which channel is actually deficient
-
how to differentiate between overlapping pain patterns
A plastic spoon is simple, inexpensive, and highly sensitive to voltage collapse.
What You’re Really Feeling: Voltage Deficiency
When a point is sticky, it is not energetically “blocked”—it is electron hungry.
Its electrical resistance has dropped, and it is ready to accept incoming electrons and begin healing.
This is why acupuncture feels dull, achy, or pulsing (doci) when the cells begin to regenerate after years of stagnation.
Terrain Theory and the Origin of Pain
Terrain theory teaches:
All disease is a breakdown in terrain, and terrain breaks down from a deficiency of electricity.
This explains:
-
chronic pain
-
inflammation
-
degenerative disease
-
cancer physiology (+30mV state)
-
organ dysfunction
-
persistent voltage collapse in channels
Sticky points reveal exactly where the collapse began—and where treatment must begin.
Connecting Ear and Body Channels
Acupuncture channels on the body have direct electrical correlations on the ear. A deficiency at Spleen 21 on the body will be detectable at its matching point on the ear and vice versa.
This connection is not neural; it exists at the electrical, quantum-like terrain level.
This allows practitioners to diagnose and treat:
-
from the ear
-
from the body
-
or from both simultaneously

Final Thoughts
When you learn to feel magnetic drag, diagnosis becomes clearer and dramatically more accurate. The patient’s body always tells the truth. You just need to listen with your hands.
