Guest guest Report post Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks for your quick response. Do you recommend the MasterTong points book by Blue Poppy. I know Dr. Tan teaches it but I have not been able to attend as yet. I have learned some of Dr. Tan's works from colleagues and reading his books.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 2, 2005 Have these treatment plans worked on your patients? There are many of the books out there that give the treatment plans, which are not working 95% of the time. They simply listed the plans for writing their book, not for taking care of the patients. Beijing Men, OMD, L.Ac. ----Original Message Follows---- " starguard_1 " <starguard_1 acupuncture acupuncture acupuncture Tinnitus Thu, 01 Sep 2005 23:25:08 -0000 I was doing some research, and below are the Tx plans for Tinnitus from: Dr. James Tin Yau So Dr. Li-Chun Huang Denmei Shudo Yan Wu This is from the book " Treatment of Disease with Acupuncture " by Dr. James Tin Yau So (founder of the New England School of Acupuncture). In my opinion, everyone needs this book! Treatment Step One: Apply needle to GB-2, SI-19, TW-17, and GB-20 Step Two: Apply needle to TW-2 and BL-23 Step Three: Use one-quarter to one-half pieces of Chong Shu (Atractylis Ovata), one side cut level and the other cut to a point. Wrap the pointed end in cotton wool and put this in the patient's ear. Burn 7-27 moxa (yellow bean size) on the flat tip of the Chong Shu and rest the head, lying down on the side of the head which is not being treated. Step Four: If the condition is severe, apply 3 direct moxa (green bean size) to BL-15, BL-23, and GB-20. Apply direct moxa to one of these points for three to five days, then the second point for three to five days, and finally the third, until all three have been used. Alternate Treatment Step One: Apply needles to GB-2, TW-17, TW-18, TW-19, and TW-22 Step Two: Leave the needles in the points for half and hour. As the needles are removed, some effect should be noticed. Assistant points: GV-4, LI-5, LI-1, and ST-36 Prognosis: In mild conditions, 7 to 10 treatments are required. In severe or chronic conditions, more than 30 treatments will be necessary. Note: Sometimes this is very difficult to treat. Ear acupuncture is quite helpful, and should be considered in the treatment of tinnitus. This is from the book " Auricular Treatment Formulae and Prescriptions by Dr. Li-Chun Huang. Her website is www.earmedicine.us Main points: Internal Ear, Temple (Auditory Center) San Jiao Supplementary points: For " excessive " type add: Ear Apex (Bleed several drops), GB, LV For " deficiency " type add: KD This is from " Acupuncture and Moxibustion Clinical Treatment Strategies " by Denmei Shudo. key points: TW-20 (or 1 cm anterior) and " auricular " Vertigo point (intradermal) additional points: KI-7, TW-3, TW-17, BL-23 This is from " Practical Therapeutics of Traditional Chinese Medicine " by Yan Wu (Jake Fratkin, Editor - When I was talking to Jake about reference material, he told me that every acupuncturist should own this book). Exuberant LV and GB Fire Tongue: Red with yellow coating Pulse: Rapid, wiry, forceful Tx Plan: Clear LV and GB fire Main Pts: TW-17, GB-2, TW-3, GB-43, LV-3, GB-40 Exteranl Wind-Heat Tongue: Thin yellow coating Pulse: Rapid, floating Tx Plan: Course wind, clear heat Main Pts: TW-17, GB-2, TW-3, GB-43, TW-5, LI-4 Binding Depression of Phlegm-Fire Tongue: Red with yellow slimy coating Pulse: Slippery, wiry or rapid, slippery Tx Plan: Clear fire, transform phlegm Main Pts: TW-17, GB-2, TW-3, GB-43, ST-40, P-8 KD-Essence Depletion Tongue: Red with little coating Pulse: Thready, or rapid, thready Tx Plan: Supplement the KD, secure essence Main Pts: TW-17, GB-2, BL-23, KD-3, CV-4, GV-4 SP and ST Qi Vacuity Tongue: Pale with white coating Pulse: Weak Tx Plan: Strengthen the SP and ST, boost Qi Main Pts: TW-17, GB-2, BL-20, BL-21, ST-36, CV-6 Alternate Therapeutic Methods 1. Ear Acupuncture Main Pts: Subcortex, Endocrine, LV, KD, Inner Ear, Shen Men Method: Needle to elicit a moderate sensation and retain needles for thirty minutes. Treat once daily or once every second day, fifteen to twenty sessions per course. 2. Scalp Acupuncture Main Pts: Yin Ting Qi (Vertigo and Hearing Region) Method: Retain needles for twenty minutes, manipulating needles periodically. Treat once daily or once every second day. 3. Tuina Self-Massage Tuina self-massage massage is beneficial in the treatment of tinnitus. First cover the ears with the palms of the hands and then beat the areas over the occipital bone and mastoid processes with the fingers. Next, rhythmically lift and press the palms of the hands, opening and closing the orifices of the ear. Repeat this process morning and night, maintaining the rhythm for several minutes. Remarks Acupuncture has been found to be highly effective in the treatment of neural tinnitus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 3, 2005 The treatment plans for Tinnitus are a compilation only, as I have no personal experience treating Tinnitus. However, I must say that I have had excellent results " combining " the techniques from the books of both Dr. So and Denmei Shudo with those of Dr. Huang. In my practice (mostly bi-syndromes), Dr. Huang's treatment techniques work 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time, I combine the body acupuncture treatment recommended by Dr. So with the ear acupuncture recommended by Dr. Huang, however, other times I have combined the treatment recommended by Denmei Shudo with the treatment recommended by Dr. Huang and always with " excellent " results. I have only recently acquired the book by Yan Wu, so I have no personal experience using techniques recommended by it. I have had very little success treating " herniated disks " . So, if anyone knows an effective treatment for herniated disks, I would be " extremely " grateful if you would take the time to pass it along to me.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 19, 2006 Actually no and I do absolutely nothing with my ears per say. It started on the way driving across the states last summer and the dizziness has since never stopped. Some days are fine, other days are ok, others are unbearable. The ringing is minimal but the dizziness is terrible. When I clean my ears with peroxide, I get extremely dizzy with it inside my ears. It definately gets worse when i'm in a car but that does not bring it on so I know it's not just motion sickness. I don't get sick to my stomach or anything. Doctor thought maybe it is that meingers (sp?) disease and told me I should get checked for that. I've done herbal cleanses every 2-3 months and it doesn't seem to change it good or bad. I'm at a loss but I can tell you this dizziness gets so very tiresome-especially if I want to drive somewhere...:-( Marci herbal remedies , " Thinking Time " <thinking.time wrote: > > The way I would look at it, as to look at my habits, do you wear headphones? > There could be a karmic lesson here.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 19, 2006 I never wear headphones either. I used to get awful ear infections from the time I was a baby and have always had to have background noise myself since silence doesn’t cause me a ringing necessarily but it feels more like immense pressure building.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 19, 2006 Margaret, My aunt has Menieres disease - it's an inner ear issue that causes dizziness. I've recently had some ear pressure myself and of course, thought, oh no, now I have it, but realize that for me it's pollen related, hopefully. Just my right side feels full, I have gotten a bit dizzy as well, but it's not always there. I looked up in my 'Encyclopedia of Natural Remedies' book and it says that an overdose of Quinine can cause hearing loss as well as large amounts of aspirin. Also mercury poisoning and nicotine. My book also says that bugleweed equalizes circulation in the head area. Butchers Broom is supposed to improve circulatory health and garlic helps dissolve toxins. It also says that a magnesium deficiency is seen in tinnitus sufferers. But I also have 'Prescription for Nutritional Healing' and it says that a problem w/carbohydrate metabolism (hypoglycemia) can be a cause. Hope this helps. I'm going to be paying attention to the carb thing myself, as I still haven't gotten off sugar.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 20, 2006 More Karmic Questions,Why is this happening to me?What can I learn from this?Dizziness can also be caused by low pressure conditions such as fainting disorder. Which is common. Most people will faint once in their life. It is psychological because one hears the ringing. But what causes the ringing? How does that make you feel?Nietzsche said, one can learn from illness.Infections suggest detox, drink water everyday. Try also calming music, sitar music is considered the most relaxing music when you sleep, this may help the ringing.One seeks for a cure, but there must be no desire for a cure.What relaxes the ear? The ear is tense, it rings. Does your ear feel tense. If you had ringing when you were a baby? Consider past lives.Karmic Contemplation:Ears may be connected to travel. I am not sure about this? So this could mean - seeing new things, or doing new things? Does this mean anything... I read about vit. E complex a couple of years ago, so it is based on new research. But it does improve mood...On 4/19/06, Melisa < On_A_Quest wrote: I never wear headphones either.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 20, 2006 Lets see now. A 150 lb. person would have to drink 75 lbs. of water. 1 gallon of water weighs 8 lbs. So, 75 lbs. of water is equal to 9.3 gallons of water. 1 gallon = 8 pints (16 cups). Therefore, 9.3 gallons is equal to 150 cups of water.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 21, 2006 margaret - I was the exact same way. I drink tons of water but would still remain constipated always. badly too- maybe 2 bms a week! nothing seemed to help unless I went out of my way to induce the runs big time. I would get terrible dizzy spells once I would get backed up real bad or if I had eaten dairy or any other food I was intolerant to as it needed to get out and felt like sheer poison in me until it was gone. I still have the problem and I think the ear issue is a byproduct of a different problem. the only reason it doesn’t bother me so much now is I have gotten quite regular with bms. I still have poor hearing in my right ear only though and cant tolerate total silence as I said before. wish I did know whats behind it all thoough. for me it seems very much related to the autoimmune issues I have also. and my daughter who has it too is also autoimmune. if you find out anything please let me know. melisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 21, 2006 I have many memories from very early childhood that other than the fact that I can provide details no one would believe that I could remember that far back. however I don’t recall ringing. I don’t have ringing now. I have trouble hearing in one ear but pass ear tests fine. silence, like in a room when everything is turned off, such as a blackout since usually there's something running - fridge, AC etc- for me it gets loud, like being in a cave by an ocean. I do not believe in past lives and wont go into my belief system as per code of conduct for the group but please don’t push this idea on me. it makes me uncomfortable and if you want to think that reflects on my psychological profile relating to this that’s your choice and opinion but it seems rather pompous to presume to know that much about someone over one small paragraph to think that travel or whatever would have so much effect on their ears mentally. I travel or did travel a lot and I never have problems except for when flying, same with swimming and I can assure you, I am a fish out of water. 2 really if you account for me being a Pisces but anyways its an ear problem, not a headcase problem. I drink more than enough water, always have. I take vitamin e also. during childhood they tried everything under the sun to help chronic recurring ear infections. I got them from water, I got them from pressure (underwater, airplanes etc) I got them from headcolds- until I got older and the infections moved to my tonsils and then they moved again to sinuses as a teen and have stayed there since. still have a tendency towards ear infections but usually just have muffled hearing in the one ear and loud silence, no ringing. when I do get a ringing its only for a minute but I really don’t feel there's any relation to a deep rooted psychological or spiritual issue. this is a site for herbal remedies I thought- not metaphysics or psychology. thanks anyways for the thought but I'm here for herbal remedies, that’s all. melisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 21, 2006 B complex is good for ears, I made a mistake, not E complex. You may clean yourself by drinking water, but you can also clean the air too, because...ears are connected not just to water, but also to air. On 4/20/06, Margaret A.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 21, 2006 You drink the water in ounces not lbs ..... - Barb Leppky herbal remedies Thursday, April 20, 2006 4:18 PM Re: Herbal Remedies - Re: Tinnitus Lets see now. A 150 lb. person would have to drink 75 lbs. of water. 1 gallon of water weighs 8 lbs. So, 75 lbs. of water is equal to 9.3 gallons of water. 1 gallon = 8 pints (16 cups). Therefore, 9.3 gallons is equal to 150 cups of water.
