Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Never treated cerebral palsy myself. However, I have read a number of articles on it in Chinese medical journals. All treatments have been various types of physical therapies: acupuncture, tuina, seven star, moxa. None of the protocols I have seen included internally administered or externally applied Chinese medicinals. Various degrees of improvement have been reported, but treatments were typically daily over very prolonged periods of time. Good luck and best wishes.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Treated one CP patient while at PCOM in San Diego. From memory a mid thirty year old female - CP diagnosed at age 3 - resulting from trauma at birth 52 hour delivery. She however was probably the most emotionally together person I have met - and taught me a lot about prejudging emotional issues, just because I would have them. She suffered right side motor problems and walked only with great difficulty with a stick - refused a wheelchair on all occasions We treated her for chronic pain and seizures, though initially for acute pain - resulting from a 4-wheeler accident in the desert! There was significant phlegm stagnation visible in the tongue, Qi and blood stagnation through the right side. As the sensory and motor impairment was one sided we focussed treatment on the good side, initially 3x per week. She tolerated estim very well and reported decreased pain. She had just started on weekly treatments to address seizures when she moved. Don't know if this helps. Kayte , " Bob Flaws " <pemachophel2001> wrote: > Never treated cerebral palsy myself.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Thnx very much Bob. I am thinking the herbal tx will depend on nature and amount of pain, whether there is spacicity or flacidness or mixed, and whether what kind of wind or deficiency is present etc. I hope there is the will to try, and tx's close together is what I saw too, so will have to make it affordable.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I've never dealt with cerebral palsy, either, but have had experience with other degenerative CNS disorders, including ALS, and in many of these conditions, I've concluded that music therapy can be very effective. There is a lot of research on the effects of music on health, especially CNS development and disorders; I'm surprised that more health professionals don't harness this data and use it in a systematic way clinically. (I wrote an article on how one might understand and use European classical music in a TCM context: http://www.rmhiherbal.org/review/2002-1.html ) ALS results in motoneurone cell death, and while the cells are deteriorating, they often fire in abnormal ways, resulting in muscle fasciculations. In several cases, I found that playing certain types of classical music would result in immediate (within minutes) and significant (70%) reduction of fasciculations. The Bach suites for solo cello were especially effective, and I recommend these for people with various types of Interior Liver Wind. Many types of rock music, on the other hand, significantly aggravate Interior Liver Wind conditions. Other major factors in CNS degenerative disorders: heavy metal toxicity (esp. mercury), excessive electromagnetic field exposure, neurotoxins such as aspartame and MSG. - I've seen several people with ALS who have had major previous exposure to electrical shocks and/or excessive EM fields such as microwaves, one was a rock musician who was repeatedly shocked from handling electrical connections in amplification systems. In all types of CNS degenerative disorders I've seen, I recommend that these people avoid harmful EMFs of all types. (I shudder to think of what types of illnesses the current cell-phone craze will cause.) The following article presents an interesting hypothesis for the relationship between ferromagnetic heavy metals and sonic shocks in triggering neurodegenerative disorders: The Environmental Origins of TSEs: The Ferromagnetic-Prion Theory by Mark Purdey; Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, 2004 July, pp.83-88. Other relevant articles: http://www.vaccinetruth.org/cerebral_palsy.htm Mercury exposure linked to high rate of hospitalization for cerebral palsy http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstra\ ct & list_uids=14596888 The role of metals in neurodegenerative processes: aluminum, manganese, and zinc. Zatta P, Lucchini R, van Rensburg SJ, Taylor A. By the way, I highly recommend the movie " My Left Foot " for understanding what living with cerebral palsy is like. The Interior Liver Wind aspects are dramatically portrayed - the uncontrollable tremors and muscle contractions, and the incredible frustration of people whose minds are intact but who can only with great difficulty control their voluntary muscles. This movie does for cerebral palsy what Thomas Mann's book " Magic Mountain " did for tuberculosis. ---Roger Wicke, PhD, TCM Clinical Herbalist contact: www.rmhiherbal.org/contact/ Rocky Mountain Herbal Institute, Hot Springs, Montana USA Clinical herbology training programs - www.rmhiherbal.org > mystir <ykcul_ritsym >Re: Re: Cerebral Palsy > >Thnx very much Bob.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Dear Jessica, A Loving Atma Namaste! The answer to your second question is here. This question too is in our Archive. With Loving Blessings, The PHQandA Team Protocol: 3550 Are you sure about the diagnosis? Cerebral Palsy is normally a sickness of babies? Medical background: Cerebral Palsy Also called: CP Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and to maintain balance and posture. The disorders appear in the first few years of life. Usually they do not get worse over time. People with cerebral palsy may have difficulty walking. They may also have trouble with tasks such as writing or using scissors. Some have other medical conditions, including seizure disorders or mental impairment. Cerebral palsy happens when the areas of the brain that control movement and posture do not develop correctly or get damaged. Early signs of cerebral palsy usually appear before 3 years of age. Babies with cerebral palsy are often slow to roll over, sit, crawl, smile or walk. Some babies are born with cerebral palsy; others get it after they are born. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but treatment can improve the lives of those who have it. Treatment includes medicines, braces, and physical, occupational and speech therapy. Pranic Healing: Energizing has to be done gently and gradually. 1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment. 2. Project loving kindness to the patient. 3. Advanced general sweeping 2 to 3 times, in case of this patient do it with LWG. 4. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back heart chakra. Energize through the back heart chakra with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. Visualize the heart chakra becoming brighter and bigger. 5. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra and the liver. Energize the solar plexus with LWG, LWB then ordinary LWV. 6. Localized thorough sweeping on the different parts of the brain, the crown chakra, ajna chakra, the forehead chakra, backhead minor chakra, both ears, and the temple minor chakras alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Rescan. If any part(s) of the brain remain to have any uneveness or bumps, continue work on the area(s) until they are all clean and balanced. Energize the forehead, crown, ajna, back head minor chakras, both ears and the brain with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV simultaneously visualize the chakras becoming brighter and bigger. OR for experienced advanced Pranic Healers only: Invoke for inner guidance. Energize with ordinary LWV - 4 then with LEV - 1. As the patient becomes stronger, the ration can be increased to ordinary LWV - 3 then LEV - 1. While energizing the ajna chakra, gently but firmly instruct the ajna to normalize and harmonize all the other chakras and organs. 7. Localized thorough sweeping on the neck (front, sides and back), the jaw minor chakra, the throat chakra and the secondary throat minor chakra alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Energize with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV then LWB. 8. Localized thorough sweeping on the entire spine and both sides of the spine from the base of the head to the end of the tailbone alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Rescan. Continue sweeping and rescanning until the energy is balanced and smooth. Energize the spine with LWG-V then with gold. 9. Localized thorough sweeping on both arms and hands and their minor chakras with LWG and ordinary LWO. Energize the minor chakras with LWR. 10. Localized thorough sweeping on the sex chakra, navel chakra, basic chakra and perineum minor chakra. Energize them gradually and thoroughly with LWR. 11. Localized thorough sweeping on the legs, the hip joints, the hip minor chakras, knee minor chakras and sole minor chakras alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize the hip joint and the minor chakras with LWR. 12. Apply distributive sweeping and spread the energy 7 times in front (from the ajna down to the sex chakra and back up to the ajna chakra is one cycle) ending on the ajna chakra. Seven times at the back ( from the crown chakra to the basic chakra then back up to the crown chakra is one cycle) ending on the crown chakra. Apply distributive sweeping from side to side several times to spread the energy. 13. Stabilize and release projected Pranic Energy. 14. Repeat treatment three times per week for as long as needed. Recommend to the parents the regular practice of the healing meditation, the Meditation on Twin Hearts. This will assist them in raising their own energy level as well as blessing the child with loving healing energy to improve assimilation of projected Pranic Energy.
