ALS

[Guest guest]

I have recently seen a few requests for practitioners to treat people suffering

with ALS.

But this degenerative disease poses a question for me, which I am hoping someone

might

shed light on: Is there a concurrent degeneration of the sensory neurons?

 

And if so, would a modality like acupuncture be useful?

I am thinking about a separate instance, if a patient receives acu while taking

a " pain-killing "

medication, thus rendering the treatment non-effective because of a temporary

blockage/

shut-down of the receptors.

So if we have an instance of motor and sensory neural degeneration, how might

acu work?

 

I understand the TCM definition of unobstructing channels, nourishing

deficiency, etc. I was

just interested if anyone has a strong medical background, and might be able to

explain this

And if you think I am thinking incorrectly, I appreciate the guidance.

 

Thank you very much,

Melanie
