Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 This is an old case, but I just want to remind someone who had never read this. If Any of you who had learned of this case, please ignore my repeat. I had a TCM friend who had had a severe, complicated diabetes which had confined him in a bed prevented him coming into his own clinic. It had been so bad which his wife and his children had been waiting for his last breath. I heard about his sickness from other TCM friends of mine, they suggested that we should have had to comfort him for the last minutes. I made a call and it made a miracle. " He never answered a call because he felt ashamed of his illness and thought no one could help " his wife said, " However, he answered to my call and he was so happy to hear from me " . I asked him whether I could take a diagnosis for him, and he agreed. He was 62, thin, pale, weak and felt cold most of the time. Weight loss and blood sugar was up more than 350....His physician did everything to help, but nothing helped much..... I said there maybe a solution if he would follow my advice to try..... Sometimes we would not only to stick on TCM alone, but integrate with other alternative treatments as well. Blood sugar rises is for some reasons ( Sugars or glucose are not using up ). Excess glucose in the blood are from excess calories we ingested. If these excess calories are not burned up or used up , they are store in the liver cells and muscles. Calories need extreme energy ( Qi ) to burn or to use up. Patients who lack of Qi, not able to store glucose as glycogen, but flood into the bloodstream....... As Donald has said, Kidney Qi , Ub 23,will enhance Ki Qi... In my friend's case above, I had advised him to take Vitamin C up to 3 grams ( 3,000 mg ) a day, but 500mg each time, together with vitamin E. For TCM, taking Ba wei wan ( 30 pills , 3x / day instead of 8 pills , 2x/day ). Within a week, he responded that he was much better and returned to his clinic daily......... Every case is different. But his case was Ki Qi and Yang deficiency, Ba Wei was the choice, but with high doses. I think now he is still at work and is very happy- it was 7 yrs ago. Note : Vitamin C is water soluble, any excess over 500mg will be flushed out by urine. It is safe to have megadose, but be sure to take it after meal so it won't hurt your digestive system......... Any excess may cause a diarrhea. Someone said it will form kidney stones " it is a deceptive answer " ........ Vitamin C is good for blood vessels in cases of diabetes and plague in our arteries. It is also good for antiviral infections and bacterial infections. It is known a good circulation of blood - a booster. Together with vitamin E it works and helps our heart to get enough oxygen in our blood, blood vessels and muscles to burn excess calories. In severe case, vitamin B6 may be added to help our blood vessels.... If Ki Yin is deficient, Liu Wei Di Huang is used with high dose. If Ki Yang is deficient, Ba Wei Di Huang is used with high dose. Acupuncture with moxa is advisable. Recently I had a diabetic patient with tingling hands and feet for more than 8 months even though she has been taking glucosphage........... I prescribed her Rou Gui and Fu Zi, her blood sugar drops and tingling sensation disappeared........... If this would not help, I would ask her to take vitamin C & E. However, I was lucky. She is very happy with this formula. Good luck to all......... Nam Nguyen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I do not use TCM diagnostics when performing acupuncture, therefore I never use " standard " point prescriptions. I use TCM diagnostics for Internal Medicine and I use meridian diagnostics and palpation for my acupuncture treatments. If the points are not active/reactive, I don't puncture them. Therefore, palpate the neuropathic area and find three of the most sensitive points and puncture them very deeply or tap the bone. Then pachi-pachi those needles. If the neuropathy is caused by a spinal, attack a pachi lead to a needle in the back, and two to the affected limb. Since there is a " break " in the nerve impulse from the spine to the affected area, the lead " must become " the spine, and the nerve impulse must reach the affected area. Simple logic, but a little involved for this forum. Hope it helps, Sincerely, Dr. Don J. Snow, DAOM, MPH, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 A pachi-pachi lead has three ends, two of which have a diode to increase the electrical charge. One end is the ground and it is connected to the pachi unit. Two of the diodes are connected to two needles and the gap on the pachi is placed on a third needle. Then push the button and watch the patient squirm Make sure you begin with the green diode on the place of greatest pain/pathology. Each needle gets three stimulations, green, red, ground. Hope this helps, Dr. Don Snow Chinese Medicine petrabuchanan Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:07:59 -0700 Re: Diabetic neuropathy Sorry to sound inexperienced. What exactly is a pachi lead? E-stim.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Diode is used to direct the voltage from AC ( alternate current ) into DC ( direct current ). To amplify voltage, operation amplifier is need. To amplify current, transistor is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Thank you, that helps. I will need to check it out sometime. --- On Tue, 4/13/10, Donald Snow <don83407 wrote: Donald Snow <don83407 RE: Diabetic neuropathy Chinese Traditional Medicine Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 7:33 AM A pachi-pachi lead has three ends, two of which have a diode to increase the electrical charge. One end is the ground and it is connected to the pachi unit. Two of the diodes are connected to two needles and the gap on the pachi is placed on a third needle. Then push the button and watch the patient squirm Make sure you begin with the green diode on the place of greatest pain/pathology. Each needle gets three stimulations, green, red, ground. Hope this helps, Dr. Don Snow Chinese Medicine petrabuchanan Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:07:59 -0700 Re: Diabetic neuropathy Sorry to sound inexperienced. What exactly is a pachi lead? E-stim.

I use TCM diagnostics for Internal Medicine and I use meridian diagnostics and palpation for my acupuncture treatments. If the points are not active/reactive, I don't puncture them. Therefore, palpate the neuropathic area and find three of the most sensitive points and puncture them very deeply or tap the bone. Then pachi-pachi those needles. If the neuropathy is caused by a spinal, attack a pachi lead to a needle in the back, and two to the affected limb. Since there is a " break " in the nerve impulse from the spine to the affected area, the lead " must become " the spine, and the nerve impulse must reach the affected area.
