Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 I do not know what the chinese herbs are.. I only know what was written on the rx.. some parts 'Bone Mending' and some parts 'Acute' Maybe someone here can identify those. My skin is starting to clear up, but some part, specifically down around my ankle and close to the point of injury, have remained stubborn in their healing adn like to itch a lot. I have taken to dabbing a little cortisone creame on to prevent me from unconsiously scratching while I sleep. > I've used poutis (sp?) on warts and they can kind of mess up the skin, > but after a week, it'll heal up. > > Do you know what's in your poletis (sp?) ? > > Katrina wrote: > > > > Hello, > > I am a new member who joined to gain more information on TCM and > > acupuncture.

They're two different traditional poultices used for " bone mending " and " acute trauma " . One has a bunch of herbs which strengthen bone, duzhong, gouji etc and the other has herbs to regenerate tissue and move blood. If I hve time I will look them up and post the exact ingredients for the versions I have.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 To Ban Ma Huang is wrong!! Due to the misuse of the herb in western applications (weight loss drugs etc) why should it be banned? Chinese medicine does not use herbs in this fashion. Herbs are not used individually for long periods of time or in concentrated doses, in medicines that are prescribed there are guiding, assistant, minister herbs that have the job of constraining any unwanted actions of any herb in order for it to carry out a specific action. Additionally, if one is not indicated for particular herbs then they are not used!! Hugely different from western applications and mentality, differentiation according to TCM theory need be applied. Of course if you give someone medication that is not appropriate there will be adverse reaction depending on how long and dosage. No, I for one vehemently appose the ban of Ma Huang and other Chinese medicines. It is also of importance TCM practitioner/ DTCM’s speak up - voice your opinions in your region regarding the banning of these medicines. Long Dan Xie Gan Tang was banned as well, why??? Because a western “study” showed that it can produce renal failure. Well, how was this study done? Who would be giving a formula such as this over a long period of time to a patient? Were/are the patients indicated for this? There are so many questions regarding the validity of the data provided, did the researchers have a knowledge of TCM theory and application? How can you apply western study practices to TCM ? Does this not step away from allowing the medicine to work according to differentiation? It seems as though there may need to have a new perspective/approach to integrated TCM & western studies........food for thought!! " Rev.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Its a bloody shame their gonna ban Ma Huang and bloody stupid. Thank God they haven't done it yet in the UK, but may do. Although with regulation coming into effect in 2005, the govering bodies, of which i have spoken to, are pushing to have animal products and some banned herbs re-instated, like Mu Tong, which is in Long Dan Xie Dan Tang. Mu Tong was banned because some idiots used it in Belgium as a diet supplement, non herbal idiots that is. So i'm all for banned herbs being used, so long as they are used by properly qualified herbalists. Zai jian Attilio Chinese Traditional Medicine , " Rev.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 As I understand it, Marne Ergil and an number of other CM practitioners in NY managed to get an exception for Ma Huang for CM practitioners. I believe the legislation is still pending as Rev Hal has noted. Legislation against Ma Huang is also pending on the U.S. federal level and in California. I'm in California and so am more aware of this aspect. Check with Marne on the CHA list for NY status. I haven't introduced myself previously to this group. I'm a former clinic director for American College of TCM in 1988 who helped collate the first procedural manual in an effort to obtain Title XX funding for the clinic as a California Community Clinic. Those are in the days when the school was administered by Howard Harrison and Aikow Wang, and indirectly and remotely by Dr. Cheng. I had just been to medical school in Texas and moved on to graduate school in molecular biology and physiology in 1989. I returned to CM as a marketing supervisor for Min Tong Herbs and as a former biochemist fell in love with the East-West fusion of sciences present in Dr. Charles Chiang's mind. Dr. Chiang and his wife Dr. Lin run Min Tong Herbs in America. I joined Dr. Liang and Dr. Kang at Asia Natural Products in 1995 because of their very idealist work in sourcing Chinese herbs from growers in remote sites throughout China. We work with Chinese agronomist PhDs who are specifically trained to work with traditional growers of Chinese herbs and have a keen interest in documenting their oral traditions ... as well as getting American dollars to the growers before their progeny all leave their ancestral villages. I work as the general manager in Asia Natural in the city of San Francisco.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Alon, You asked if I graduated from medical school. You and I are well acquainted by now it would seem. We've even had exchanges off list. But since you have asked at one time or another on both lists, I'll respond to you on both lists. I transferred in my 3rd year of medical school to graduate school where, yes, I graduated ... I do not have an MD. I believe that was your issue. The first two years of Univ. of Texas medical school represented the didactic portion, and I loved it as a highly intense look at basic and medical sciences. Great to have so much information in one's head at one moment to translate and consolidate. I did well enough (the best in anatomy) to teach graduate human dissection and thereby rid myself of out of state tuition. Before attending med school I had studied and worked in biochem and molecular bio, so I was fascinated by the depth of my studies in human sciences. When I started to see clinical rotations, I was gravely disappointed by the disconnect between clinical science and basic science. The disharmony seemed fairly psychotic to me at brief times, and at nearly all moments seemed at least inappropriately out of step with each other. I didn't want to abide in such a disharmonious scenario as a life long career. So I transferred to graduate school during my 3rd year of medical school. I feel tremendous gratitute and indebtedness for the intensity of the training and the depth of information that has served me ever since in graduate school and now in teaching. No where else is there such intensely rigorous training in human sciences. One thing that prevented me from despairing about the WM clinical sciences was the fact that my primary care through undergraduate and medical school came from Chinese medicine. While I think and teach in the paradigm of Western sciences, I also see great value in the harmony of Chinese medicine as a clinical science. Curiously, I find CM actually harmonizes better with my knowledge of Western science than does WM. But then that may just be me. Beauty and harmony may be mostly in the eye of the beholder. I trust that answers your question. All the Best, Emmanuel Segmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
