Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 My own mother has a very severe case of RSD at the time, and I'm not sure if I'm being of any help. I have tried several herbal formulas, and we've done a lot of acupuncture, but I don't know. Her recovery will most probably take a full year. And I'm pessimistic about a full recovery. She's still in phase one of RSD, after 4-5 months. These are the formulas I used: soon after her colles fracture: chai hu 10 san leng 12 dang gui 10 da huang 5 hong hua 12 tao ren 12 qin jiao 20 bai xian pi 15 sheng di 20 huang qi 20 san qi 3 xi xin 2 gan cao 4 and this was the latest formule I used: dan shen 24 dang gui 18 ru xiang 18 mo yao 18 yin chai hu 21 huang lian 12 qin jiao 15 san leng 12 di gu pi 15 zhi mu 15 These formulas are based upon Chinese articles I found on the subject. I'd be happy to hear about your results, best, Tom.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 A few years ago I had a RSD patient. One shallow, direst needle set off an episode in my office. However, three sessions of ear needling alone gave her a 75% reduction of pain in her arm. The pain was described as searing, burning and wave like sensations that usually were worse at night. She also indicated that loud noises, " rock " music and windy days could set off an attack. She was unable to take herbs or come back for more treatment due to financial reasons. Even though we never completely resolved the condition my patient has been able to manage. She is now back at work as a housekeeper and getting along. Just my 2 cents Gloria Garland L.Ac., Dipl.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks to all for the input. I met the patient yesterday and treated her with a Manaka root Tx followed by a 'Kiiko' scar Tx and SP-21 w/stimulation. The patient showed immediate and remarkable results in terms of range of motion, joint flexibility (she was able to move two joints that were frozen prior to Tx) and stated that her hand felt more 'alive'! I am interested to see if these results hold. For what it is worth I found an interesting link to a clinic web site claiming to have cured 3 cases of RSD using the 5 Element External Demon treatment. I may try this treatment if progress stalls. http://www.metroacupuncture.com/pediatric-reflex-sympathetic-dystrophy.html Thanks again for the input.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Graham: It sounds like the treatments you are using are really working. I did learn the demons treatment in school. It couldn't hurt to try it. I use internal demons a lot and they are very powerful for clearing emotional blocks. The external demons are more suited to physical insults that are trapped in the body - e.g. an exposure to cold or a toxin, a car accident. My first patient that I treated by myself here in beautiful down town LaPlata came to me to quit smoking. I asked how long he had smoked. He said 50 years. And by the way I was a fireman for 25 years. He was in his 60's and didn't look so hot (well actually he was) when I saw him. While on the table he mentioned he had been blown out of a building twice - kind of like going through the movie " Backdraft " a couple of times. I said " You were blown out of a building? " Well my eyes widened (not so he could see it) and bells went off ED's ED' (external demons). We are suppose to look for possession in the eyes (a kind of cloud cover- a shen disturbance) and we do, but stories like tha t make you look harder.
