Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Alon, I felt this question is addressed to you for obvious previously discussed r= easons. Maybe my first request got lost in the morass of babble a few days = ago... But anyway… (other please join in) Alon states that he observed many respected masters (?). When he followed u= p on their patients, he was not happy to find out that the 'real/current' su= ccess rates differed with the perceived initial success stats. (Is this corr= ect alon?) - So you have many times wanted to talk about the failures of TCM, SO let's= actually do that instead of just talking about the general scenarios\.. Wh= ich diseases did you find were not getting the 'accuracy' / success that you= would have liked? OR which diseases do you feel you cannot treat with TCM..= .. If we are actually looking for solutions this step is important... I am sure some dr.'s are good at some things and bad at others. We might f= ind that the Dr.'s you followed just had a weakness in a given area where ot= hers might not... Therefore we might realize through this discussion that T= CM can actually effectively treat many of those diseases.. OR we might find = out that TCM just has no answers, or BAD accuracy for certain diseases.. SO = let us start the ball rolling... What did you actually find out? and what di= seases have you searched beyond TCM to deal with? I will start it off .. I= think TCM offers poor accuracy for Tinnitus (If some has high success with numerous cases of tinnitus, please = share and I/We will learn something.) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Is this corr= ect alon?)>>>>You are correct. For the most part I would have to say diseases that are not functional and that can be measured independently, ie by labs or sometimes clearly seen such as psoriasis. Thus a patient with irritable bowl syndrome is much more likely to do well then one with ulcerative colitis. The list can be quite long. Many patients seemed to have a good initial subjective response but on follow-up a year or two later stated that they considered to treatment to have failed. I think this is an extremely important issue and one which I hope schools would take on. School clinics see a large case load and should have such follow-up a routine documented process. By the way chronic tinnitus does not have a very good response rate, in both my own patients and onesI have seen treated by others. Those patients that do respond often only respond minimally. Saying that i have seen some very good successes like everything else. But the numbers are not in favor. Alon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
