Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 My daughter had whooping cough in May and now is continuing to cough, wheeze, and has tremendous nausea. Throws up, is cold alot... Our doctor is alternative and has a background in TCM. He has given us some Tablets made by " Health Concerns " called Clear Air. They contain: Ma Huang, Kuan Dong Hua, SuZi, KuXing Ren, Sang Bai Pi, Tian Hua Fen, Zhe Bei Mu, Jie Geng, Zi Wan, She Gan, Huang Qin, Wu Wei Zi, Gan Cao, Ban Xia. He has also given us a tincture called Quiet Contemplative with even more things... Last night She was quite congested. I calmed :Lu10GV14, CV17 and B13, Lu1 and Lu9. (from a book) I massaged her back and front with Eucalyptus g. and Rosemary camphor. I steamed her with Cajeput and more Eucalyptus and Hyssop decombens. While I was able to at least clear her somewhat..I am not really seeing any real results. We have an appointment with a pediatric pulmonologist next week (she is 12) I am NOT looking forward to this..There will be talk I am sure of medications that appall me. However, she has been ill for so long that her life has been put on hold. Is there anything you can suggest to help me? Do you know of anyone in the NYC area? I live in Bergen County NJ and the closest to us the better. Thank you, Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 Let me try this again. I just tried replying to this and got cut off in the middle when I hit a key. I'm not sure if the partial reply got sent or not. >My daughter had whooping cough in May and now is continuing to cough, >wheeze, >and has tremendous nausea. Throws up, is cold alot... Is breathing in harder than breathing out, or are they equal in difficulty, or is breathing out harder than breathing in? Does she have the most trouble breathing when lying down? Are the breathing problems worse at night or in the day or equal? Are the breathing problems aggravated by damp weather or dry weather? What color is her tongue tissue? Is there a coating, and what color is it? Is her pulse rapid or slow? (How many beats per minute?) Is the pulse easy to find and strong, or is it weak and hard to find? What are bowel movements and urination like? Constipation? Diarrhea? A lot of clear urine? Scanty dark-colored urine? Consistency of stools? Mushy? Hard and small? Is she very thirsty? Does she crave cold drinks? What is her appetite like? Does eating help the nausea or make it worse? >Our doctor is alternative and has a background in TCM. How much of a background? Can he do a TCM tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis and a TCM-style questionnaire? Is he trained in diagnosing TCM syndromes or is he using TCM herbs and formulas within a framework of Western medicine or Western herbalism? >He has given us >some Tablets made by " Health Concerns " called Clear Air. How long has she been on this formula and the other? TCM moniters clients very closely and changes treatment frequently as the clinical picture changes. Otherwise, a formula which is just right at one stage can end up creating problems later. To be continued. I want to get this out in case the computer acts up again or I hit the wrong key.

My proof-reading talents are worse than my spelling and typing - and they're bad. >He has also given us a tincture called Quiet Contemplative with even more >things... > >Last night She was quite congested. I calmed :Lu10GV14, CV17 and B13, Lu1 >and Lu9. (from a book) See the post on Pericardium 6. Not all the points used in treating lung disorders are on the Lung meridian. I can't diagnose via email, just list some of the things that a TCM healer would consider. This is just a partial list. Was the pathogen cleared completely? (Was she on antibiotics at one point?) Is the person stuck in the ShaoYang-stage of Cold-Induced Evils? (Is there fever alternating with chills?) BTW, antibiotics only work for Excess Heat problems. They can make people with Deficiency Heat sicker. TaiYin-stage Evil of the Cold-Induced Evils? The questions about tongue color, coating, pulse rate, and some other questions was considering this possibility (as well as others). TaiYin-stage Evil often results from excessive or prolonged treatment of Yang-stages of the Cold-Induced Evils. Other list members may have other ideas. >Do you know of anyone in the NYC area? I live in Bergen County NJ and the >closest to us the better. Sorry. I live across country. Another member may know of someone in that area.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 Gail, Living as close to NYC as you do, there will be dozens of TCM doctors to choose from. Go to your local health food store and ask if anyone can make a referral for you. There is a woman in the Village who has written TCM several books--Letha Hadady. She sees patients, but if she is booked, she probably could recommend someone for you. Also, check out these referral lists which I got from the American Association of Oriental Medicine site. Its homepage is http://www.aaom.org/ Referral list for NY http://www.aaom.org/refer/newyork.html Referral list for NJ http://www.aaom.org/refer/newjersey.html Good luck.
