dear friends,

i think its high time we all devoted some time to

discussing various aspects of acupuncture treatments.

i came on the site to increase my knowledge & assist

any others if possible. i think we can grow alot

faster by sharing our success stories & discussing the

failures or difficult cases.

why not start the ball rolling. lets take 1 topic /wek

& see what can be done. if the topic is too long then

lets continue for afew weeks & see what comes out.

let me start the ball rolling by looking atasthama.

let look at asthama from the points of view of

1. curative

2.symptomatic relief

3. immediate relief

4.compliance

5. referral sources

6. follow thorugh, & patient involvement

lets start with some of these areas. there may be

other areas that people would like to suggest & add

along the way.

lets make astart somewhere.

await replies

I really want to second this!! I will start with a problem I am seeing a lot

of which is HBP that swings between high and low. These people are on

different BP meds. and it does seem like the high humidity we have had is a

triggering

factor. I have been reasonably successful in stabilizing it for the moment

but am interested in learning more about the swings of extremes and the long

term effect (those of you with a WM background can really help here). A company

call Ayush which specializes in Auyvedic herbs makes a product which really

helps lower blood pressure and the only other thing besides acupuncture that

works so far in difficult cases is upping the BP meds (done by their

cardiologist

to whom I refer them so they can be followed during this time) but that

leaves them with side effects of light headedness and dizzyness. However, my

main

concern is this up/down thing. Any understandings -- is it dangerous -- can

they regulate their meds depending on the day and condtition (this for the extra

dose only), etc.

 

Thanks!

Those interested in learning more about Deke Kendall's views can read the

testimony he gave to the White House Commission on CAM at

AcupunctureToday.com/guild.html This was in their Feb., 2001 issue.

>>>By the why Unschuld told me yesterday that Dekes translation (not just the

western interpretations) are way off.
