Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi CHA, Just wanted to give you a follow up on my toe patient that I posted a few weeks ago... I saw him today, and after only 4 acupuncture sessions and a week of raw herbs, his symptoms are completely resolved. He is amazed.. as I had mentioned before, he has had this condition for 10 years, seen countless docs and had every test in the book, and came to chinese medicine in desperation. The patient reported that the CM tx gave faster results than prednizone which was the ONLY thing that brought relief in the past. Thanks to everyone who answered my post and gave me feedback. This forum is invaluable to me as many times I feel that I am alone in practice and still in need of a teacher. ~cindy Cynthia Splies, L.Ac. www.acupuncturebycindy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi Cynthia, I am glad to hear of this success. I know you asked for input. What did you end up doing for him that worked so well? CYNTHIA SPLIES <splies wrote: Hi CHA, Just wanted to give you a follow up on my toe patient that I posted a few weeks ago...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Congratulations, Cynthia! It's wonderful to hear that your patient's condition was resolved so quickly, and, very importantly, that he does not need to take steroids any longer! If you would be so kind as to recap for us both his original presentation and history along with the treatment you provided, I, for one, would deeply appreciate it. I am a new practitioner and often spend time combing through old posts to try to find such info, but it is usually thinly spread out over many, many postings. A consolidated posting of your success would benefit many of us, I suspect. Thanks so much, Julia Carpenter, LAc Berkeley, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi Andrea Beth, it is a complicated case but basically my DDX was damp-heat in the liver w/ lv qi stag, Wind-Heat lodged in the skin and damp-heat in the lower burner. Herbs: a blend of Xiao Feng San & Ba Zheng Tang, raw herbs decocted daily. He has since switched over to granules. Acupuncture points used were to clear heat, move liver qi and calm the shen, drain damp-heat. Thanks for your support! Cindy > > Hi Cynthia, > > I am glad to hear of this success.
