Peter-

You are aware of the JCM abstract from Issue No. 47, Jan/95? I attach it

herewith from the cd-rom in case you missed it.

 

Acupuncture at Jianjing for Treatment of Achalasia of the Cardia (Shi

Tusheng et. al.): 11 cases of achalasia of the cardia

(cardiospasm/megalo-oesophagus) were

treated with Jianjing GB-21 as the main point. This was needled to a depth

of 0.5 to 0.8 cun with insertion on inhalation and withdrawal on exhalation,

to induce sen-sation propagated to the chest. This was followed by needling

at Neiguan P-6, Zhongwan REN-12, Shanzhong REN-17 directed to Zhongting

REN-16, and Zusanli ST-36. The therapeutic results compared favourably with

a control group treated with modern medicine. It was noted that barium meal

passed smoothly through the cardia into the stomach when Jianjing GB-21 was

needled, and

this was even more marked when the additional points were added.

P.S. I've corrected the spelling of the disorder in the subject line above.

Might I take this opportunity to herewith humbly beg a little more

attention to proofreading by the very learned posters hereto?
