(Note
on terminology)
When first writing about his discovery, Professor Bùi Quốc Châu used the concept “reflexology multisystem”, but the term “multireflexology” is better for expressing both meanings of the concept. First, it involves a multifaceted (mathematical) correspondence with the organ reflex in a body; and second, a multiple reflex (as in geometrical optics) that involves a correspondence with two or more reflex points of an organ. The concept of the “living point” (“sinh huyêt” in Vietnamese) is used instead of “reflex point” (“dinh huyêt” - fixed point - in Vietnamese) each time the reflex point becomes hypersensitive due to a reflex organ condition. The coordinates of this living point are slightly different from those of the coordinates of the fixed point, i.e. the BQC·point. Sometimes, the living point is incorrectly referred to the as “painful point” although, in fact, it causes pain only in certain situations. First book published by Pr. Bùi Quôc Châu in 1984 in Saigon Vietnam.
