Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hello all, Been away for awhile getting thing set up. Can anybody help me with information on DVT's and Pulmonary Embolisms? Patient who is middle aged, past history of cancer(radical surgery, no radition or chemo and no lymph involvement. No reoccurence for 7 + years), over weight(typical damp s/s), swollen tooth marked tongue thin to normal coat and color, red tip; Pulse very deep, leisurely; HTN(on triamt/hctz), taking 81mg asprin/day, finished with warfarin 4 months ago as ultra sound looked great. DVT was in location of kickboxing injury, possible resulting from kickboxing injury a couple of years ago. Found the P.E. by asking for a CT scan of lungs(unremitting cough) with yearly cancer check. Recently had a prolonged cough and would like to try holistic methods for a change. Can any body add some ideas/theories and refer any books on the topic and suggest formulas to start with? Is there a TCM theory that explains why cancer patients tend to develop embolisms? Uresolved toxic heat, latent heat?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Jeffrey, western medicine would say the reason is that they are hypercoagulable- because of tumor secreted factors and alterations in the endothelial tissue- so does that equal blood stasis from blood xu in CM? or yin stasis from yin xu? Toxic heat clumping the blood?, blood dryness?- all of the above depending on the patient? --- jeffrey smith <xerxesii2001 wrote: > Hello all, > > Been away for awhile getting thing set up. > Can anybody help me with information on DVT's and > Pulmonary Embolisms?
