Greetings!
We have debated the presentation of this material for sometime. Here we present the Reflex Revival Technique, used successfully over the years by reflexologists for resuscitation. After a recent incident we felt compelled to publish this information both through Complete Reflexology for Life and this newsletter. As with any reflexology technique it is not a replacement for but rather an adjunct to standard medical care. However, it has served us well in the most extreme of situations.Our hope is that it may help someone else in the same situation. Kevin Kunz

Reflex Revival Technique

Introduction
Could a reflex technique provide a helpful technique for one of the world's leading causes of death - sudden cardiac arrest? Worldwide, some three million people a year suffer a sudden cardiac arrest with a survival rate estimated to be less than 1%. Yet, by applying a reflex technique, reflexologists Kevin Kunz and Larry Clemmons have revived individuals who had, to all appearances, experienced sudden cardiac death. Given the serious nature of sudden cardiac arrest with slim chances of survival and the devastating impact on those left behind, the possibility that reflexology could make a difference is worth exploring - after all it made a difference for three individuals who encountered Kunz and Clemmons.

 How to Perform It
To practice the reflexology revival technique, begin by placing the foot in an upright position. Hold the big toe in place with the holding hand as shown. Rest the fingers of the working hand on those of the holding hand. Apply the hook and back up technique, by first placing the working thumb just beyond the center of the toe. To best exert pressure to this deep point, create leverage
by lowering the wrist of the working hand. Maintain this position, hook in with the thumb, bending the first joint of the thumb exerting pressure with the corner of the thumb. Now pull back across the point with the thumb. Apply pressure 7 to 10 times. Move on to the other big toe.
Remember, in all emergency situations, standard first aid (CPR) must be applied. Call for the emergency squad.
If you are applying the reflex revival technique in an emergency situation and forget the above how-to, just remember where to apply the pressure: the center of the big toe. Apply deep pressure with the use of a knuckle, the eraser end of a pencil or anything that may work may work. While outside of professional standards, such technique application is permissible in an emergency. In addition, technique may be applied to the thumb.
