Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 This is a very difficult situation. On one hand, your herbs really help him, not only physically but spiritually. The safe way, however, to deal with this situation is to have you or your patient communicate with the main physician on this case to get clearance on treatment with herbal medicines, since your patient is now under the auspices of emergency care. Unless you are using the offending aristochlia, I wouldn't worry too much (about toxicity). I would take a good look at whatever medications he is taking otherwise. >My hepatitis C patient has really severe ascites and is worsening; in >his words > > " I thought I should bring you up to date on my circumstances.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 Stay with him, Todd. You can still help to prolong your patient's life and make it more comfortable with herbs. Just stay away from the ones with aristolochic acid and be very observant of any apparent side-effects. I've treated a Hep C patient at a similar stage and he's still with us and still feels benefits from the herbs. I don't see any evidence that they are harming him. All patients are different though and you have to operate within your own comfort level so good luck to you either way. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Dear Marillete Atma Namaste Received the following background information from her husband: She had been very good in her studies and wanted to become a doctor. But as she comes from a very traditional and conservative family, she was married off and could not realize her ambition. Since then she has always been unhappy and very angry and temperamental. At a young age she contracted mumps which affected her pancreas and she has been diabetic from the age of 12. Generally does not have faith in anybody or anything even in medical treatment. Nearly all chakras were overactivated & depleted except Front SP is overactivated & congested, Back Heart was congested, basic & sex are underactivated and depleted Thank you for your guidance ========================================= Dear Vidisha, Atma namaste. Thank you for the additional information. A prominent feature of MCKS Pranic Healing system is the ability to see through and beyond the clutter of names and confusing symptoms, enabling the healer to directly address the energy imbalances which result in physical ailments. Medical Background: Ascites is the presence of excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity. It is more often associated with liver disease and other long-lasting (chronic) conditions. Ascites occur in long-standing disorders including cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis without cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and obstruction of the hepatic vein. Mild ascites is hard to notice, but when severe it leads to abdominal distension. Some chronic ascites patients develop hepatic hydrothrorax. In people with liver disease, ascitic fluid leaks from the surface of the liver and intestine. Low levels of albumin in the blood that cause a change in the pressure necessary to prevent fluid exchange (osmotic pressure). This change in pressure allows fluid to seep out of the blood vessels. An increase in the pressure within the branches of the portal vein that run through liver (portal hypertension). Portal hypertension is caused by the scarring that occurs in cirrhosis. Blood that cannot flow through the liver because of the increased pressure leaks into the abdomen and causes ascites. Ascites tends to occur in long-standing (chronic) rather than in short-lived (acute) disorders. It occurs most commonly in cirrhosis (severe scarring of the liver), especially in cirrhosis caused by alcoholism. Other liver disorders in which ascites may occur include alcoholic hepatitis without cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and obstruction of the hepatic vein. Ascites can also occur in nonliver diseases, such as cancer, heart failure, kidney failure, inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), and tuberculosis affecting the lining of the abdominal cavity. Pranic Healing: 1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment. 2. Play the MCKS OM cd softly and continuously. 3. Teach the patient to do Pranic Breathing properly. Ask her to do 12 cycles of PB before starting the treatment; and continue PB during entire treatment. This will facilitate cleansing and energizing. 4. Localized thorough sweeping 2 to 3 times with LWG. 5. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra and liver alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize the solar plexus chakra with LWG then with LWO. Wait for a few minutes. Rescan and apply more localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra, liver and pancreas. Thorough cleansing is very important before energizing. Energize the back solar plexus chakra and the pancreas with a little of LWG, then lots of LWB then with more of ordinary LWV. 6. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic chakra alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize with LWR. 7. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back spleen chakra, stomach, navel chakra and sex chakra. Energize the navel chakra and sex chakra with LWR. 8. Localized thorough sweeping on the ajna chakra. Energize with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. 9. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back heart chakra. Energize the back heart chakra with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. 10. Localized thorough sweeping on the throat chakra, forehead chakra, crown chakra, back head minor chakra, and base of the head minor chakra. Energize with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. 11. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back of the lungs. Energize through th eback of the lungs with LWG, LWO then LWR. Point your fingers away from the patient's head when energizing with O. 12. Localized thorough sweeping on the kidneys and meng mein chakra. 13. Rescan all treated chakras. Reapply treatment where necessary until the chakras are clean and stable. 14. Energize the ajna chakra with EV simultaneously gently and firmly instruct the ajna to normalize and harmonize the other major chakras and organs. 15. Stabilize and release projected energy. 16. Repeat treatment 3 times a day for the first day or until the condition is substantially improved. Reduce the frequency of treatment to 3 times a week until necessary. 18. When medically possible, encourage the patient to practice blessing and the the Meditation on Twin Hearts regularly.
