Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Greetings, I have been enjoying reading the posts but now it is time for me to post a question! A patient of mine 48 y.o. male with hx; Muscular Dystrophy has been complaining of severe constipation after about a year bout of constant diarrhea. To this point everything I have tried herbally works for a few days or a week and nothing beyond that. He is, at this point, fairly depleted on all levels and yes, has stagnation in the Liver Channel. I am trying to make a better diagnosis and am not sure what to make of one symptom: He uses enemas to have a somewhat incomplete evacuation and while he has always had lots of musus come out, he nows has what he terms voluminous amounts. What does this mean???? how can I use this to better understand his condition? ANY help at all would be appreciated. Diane Notarianni, Ph.D., L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Please include the patient's history, pulses, signs and symptoms, color of mucus, diet, is there any blood, etc... what is the patient's overall constitution, and how about his lung function.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Diane, (i am sending this on-list because your server would not accept my reply...perhaps you can write me again from a different address?) Diane, You are very welcome for the info, makes me happy that you learned some stuff too. There is a book called " the oil that heals " by William McGarrey (sp?), he is (was) just fantastic, seriously...one of those for-real doctors. I actually found a book he wrote in like '74 or so about acupuncture! He was studying with Felix Mann and all this long before Miriam Lee and all that; was puncturing people, this after a lifetime as a physician and practitioner of medicine from the Cayce readings, anything you can find of his...he's just very inspiring to me. Let me know what you think of the packs! I just got a new flannel, so i actually didn't start again cause the old one was well...old, and wanted a new one. It can be a deeply spiritual experience, esp if you listen to something inspiring (music or words) and meditate during, i think the oil has a really high vibration and if we let it in can be pretty miraculous. Take care, Tym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Rebecca, Sorry for the confusion, Diane and i had been writing off-list as we were talking about a non-TCM herbal protocol, and felt it was not on topic, but since you are interested, i can mention it here briefly. What we are talking about is the use of the Palma Christi or Castor Oil Poultice over the Duodenum as an application for steatorrhea (but it's application is effective for much more than just that). I had sent the link, which i'll post here which has a slight bit of information (though the book i mentioned is much better) and the manner of application for a few ailments: http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=castor+oil & sp-a=sp100268fb & sp-p=all & sp-f=IS\ O-8859-1 As i understand it, the herb is used in TCM but primarily PO as a laxative and to excelerate birth.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thank you! I have used Castor oil packs in the past but I am not aware of the variety of it's uses.
