Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 __________________________ ___ >> __________________________ ___ _Ed, Just read about your daughter. My first inclination would be to wonder about food allergies, does she eat dairy, is she sensitive to it? Since she is so young, children's digestive systems are very sensitive. The next question I would have is, has there been any changes within her interaction in the family lately, emotional upsets or environmental changes. The skin is the third lung and is so susceptible to temperature and moisture changes, and emotional flare ups. Using cortisone creams, although they bring relief will drive it deeper into the body. Homeopathic remedies using sulfa, I believe (I am not a homeopath, you should look this up) can be very effective for small children for skin rashes. Is there a presence of heat in the lung or the pericardium? Sounds like you were onto the the heat issue using LI 11.I guess the best thing would be to try to identify the pattern and then select the points. Maybe points to calm the spirit if necessary (Ht 7), but I'd say generally Lung, Spleen and Heart are usually involved. Hope this was somewhat helpful. All the best to you and your daughter. Janine P.S. The laser sounds like a good idea, also try using Japanese Serien-Type-J size 00 needles, they are so fine usually children can handle them. __________________________ ___ __________________________ ___ " geovani " <inandor Ed Kasper <edkasper My 2 1/2 year old daughter has been suffering with eczema for almost 7 months. Not bad but persistent. Dry scaly small bumps. The MD has suggested that it would go away (naturally) and suggested various over the counter creams instead of soap when bathing and to keep the skin from drying. Also suggested Hydrocortisone which I finally started using last month. Worked right away to relieve itching and reduce the redness and broken skin from the scratching mostly at night. However the eczema is still present and I do not want to continue its use. I also tried the Zinc and other OTC remedies. I needled Spleen 10 and Large Intestine 11. Needless to say she objected. I purchased a Laser Pen 3.5 mW. and was thinking about using it on the following points: Spleen 6 & 10, Large Intestine 11, Bladder 40 (behind the knee) Stomach 36. Is it OK to Laser the rash itself? Any ideas or suggestions. She is intrigued with the light To Your Health, Ed Kasper LAc. edkasper __________________________ ___ __________________________ ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Yes, I'm sure acupuncture was degraded by its natural host as Unschuld points out, but does it need further degrading from the fly- by-night comments he makes about its efficacy? Can you elaborate on the historical mythologies you mentioned? Attilio Chinese Medicine , " Robert L.
