Acupuncture & cancer

[Guest guest]

Phil,

 

I appreciated the abstract on cancer and pain. Do you have any information

about the effect of acupuncture on patients after chemo (decreased WBC,

platelets, etc). I have the opportunity to present this to a local hospital,

but the

director wants to know that acupuncture will help, and not harm, the cancer

patients. I have been unable to find anything about acupuncture specifically

affecting blood counts after chemo. Many thanks.

I tend to shy away from WM parameters and deal with symptomology as

it presents in real time.

 

A session of chemo ends up with Heat and Dryness in the system, and the

first system to feel this is the UB. Possibly the Pathologic Heat enters

the Wei, ruled by LU, crashes through the Yang Wei, wastes the Yin Wei,

and enters the next-in-line system, which is the Water element. Because K

is all Water, it pushes back the onslaught, but the BL, which is built

to handle Yang, sets off, and presents with difficult urination, if not a

relative inability to pass urine.

 

If at the time, all other parameters being equal, one sees this case, one

may

want to deal with as a Heat Invasion of the Pernicious kind.

 

In which case the first channel pair to be addressed is the Tai Yin, which

is

fine, it rules the back, yang, in some sense the Lower Warmer.

 

As this is an Excess, one will deplete, which icky because the person is for

certain in an overall state of depletion.

 

One must then deplete only to the extent to release the Heat which by now

is acting like a toxin.

 

If the ear presents with some capillaries, or even when it does not, and if

the pulses are stable enough [both guans bounding; oddly the pulse does not

reflect the Tai Yin Excess]. One in any case does well to bleed the

traditional

ear apex, and whatever presents a blood vessel.

 

Next the reducing points to UB and if needed SI are worked.

 

One very neat monitor is the wetting of the mouth, this happens, hold

your hand, the system is releasing and will soon stabilize.

 

It is possible, given that one is paranoid about not injuring an patient

with

zeal, one can more or less abort all ill effects of the chemo session within

an hour, and send the person home cool and comfy.

 

Again notably, if you've done the job well in the first sitting, you rarely

need to follow up with more treatment.
