There was stuff from other books intermingled with the basic info from the Web book. Doing this is helping me to learn and keeping me on my toes.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 My father has been unable to keep anything down for the past week. If he tries to eat to quickly he vomits it back up. My mother had read somewhere that drinking a baking soda solution is good for this. It seems however, that this only made it worse. It also seems this raised the level of his potassium according to his physician. My father has hypertension and is on medication for this. I was wondering what acupuncture might be able to do about this. An asside: I was reading that PC-6 downbears counterflow and stops vomiting. I am not a student in TCM so I have only rudimentary knowledge of the theory of TCM and acupuncture. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks. E.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 You reported your father's condition is too simple. Of cause, P6, R12, St34 and some ear points could reduce the antiperistalsis of stomach, reducing the symptom, but the best way is to ask his doctor what's reason cause the symptom of vomiting? Different reason and different disease will use different method to treat it. Baking soda would raise PH of gastric acid, it stimulates gastric mucosa to secrete more acid, and maybe it will make condition worse. Good Luck to your father!

That should help. Also, some fresh slices of ginger brewed into a tea, or just sucked raw often helps too. I might also enquire as to what has happened to cause the vomiting, It may be prudent to answer that question to fix this correctly. -- Al Stone L.Ac. <AlStone http://www.BeyondWellBeing.com Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
