Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 Christine & Betty In both the practice of acupuncture and Chinese Materia Medica (oversimplied when called herbs), I can tell you (for sure) that my experience both patient-wise and personally that these drugs ultimately make the condition worse due to the benzene and other solvents that are used in the manufacturing process not to mention that those drugs DON'T get at the root of the problem...................they just attempt to be antagonistic to the symptoms. The AP/OM profession is in a legal battle here in Florida at the moment so the attorney and I looked up the word 'allopathy' and were quite surprised at it's definition. Using an humanstic word such as 'antagonistic'. Western medicine is akin to a Neanderthal slamming an animal over the head with a large club. A gross approach to the wholistic approach of Chinese medicine which seeks to rebalance Qi, Blood and Body Fluids thus allowing the body to heal itself. Look to the body fluids in your systems as being both deficient and sticky or stuck. More often than not one will find excess weight or inability to lose it as an indicator. Not always but a high percent of the time. Chiense don't call fat -> fat....they call it mucus or phlegm BUT in reality it is stuck fluids. Those stucks and deficiency fluids create the conditions which give one BOTH anxiety/panic and guess what?.....depression. I call it fluid compression. I am very practical in my transliteration of patterns from Chinese medicine to what I call BLODY PLUMBING or BODY MECHANICS. Just an easy way to see the truth. Resolve the viscosity of those fluids by both bringing up the volume and at the same time making them flow smoother where they are supposed....and NO MORE anxiety/panic OR depression. And the last is most important. Even though one cannot separate the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual dimensions......when we resolve the physical depression or compression ALMOST 100% of the mental/emotional depression & panic/anxiety VANISHES. Magic? You might say. Go see a well trained acupuncturists AND one who knows very well how to use Chinese herbs. Richard Richard A.

Betty Engels Wisconsin geo+AD4- Hi Christine and Betty. Most certainly yes+ACEAIQAh- Acupuncture is very much suited for these kind of problems. If I had a doughter with these kind of symptoms I would take her to an acupuncturist. I am not sure though to which degree we could enter into any detailed approach. Also... i would consider the possibility of undergoing treatment yourself - as these long term unbalaces in a close family member, may envolve a certain degree of mutual feed-back efect.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 YEs of course, but you must be very patient, because this kinf of treatments usually need its time, and you will be healing as a russian mountain (I mean: you are better now, worst the next week, then better, etc.). Auriculotherapy with french style-points instead of chinese ones, and some scalpacup., and Wrist and Ankle acupuncture. 20 treatments before evaluation and more. I wish you the best.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 Dear Richard, Could you explain how do you disolve the Tan-Inn so easy? It has become one of my fields of battle in the last years and with poor succes: do you really get it flow out in not much time? Could you tell me anything more? Thanks a lot, and I am sorry i won't get any message for a week that I will be out of here. Thanks, Josep. acudoc11 [acudoc11]Tuesday, August 01, 2000 8:28 PMOtownne; acupuncture Subject: Re: acupuncture Xanax withdrawl and problemsChristine & BettyIn both the practice of acupuncture and Chinese Materia Medica (oversimplied when called herbs), I can tell you (for sure) that my experience both patient-wise and personally that these drugs ultimately make the condition worse due to the benzene and other solvents that are used in the manufacturing process not to mention that those drugs DON'T get at the root of the problem...................they just attempt to be antagonistic to the symptoms.
