Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Candy: Check the archives for recent messages Victoria wrote about lower back pain, as well as others for beginners, which should be near the start of messages. A starting point for lower back pain is the kidneys. Sounds like possible sciatica, which I have, but water retention (edema), too. Skipping meat may not be a good idea, you should read Vinod's recent posts about diet. You may need the nutrition from meat. At the same time you should look at how much wheat you consume, this may increase dampness. You've come to the right place for an education. Spend time reading the archives, and the group will have lots of suggestions for you. Your body has meridians and channels that distribute Qi, which cycles around your body daily. Blockages in these channels leads to health problems, so you may have stasis or blockage in one or more channels.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi Candy, What the chinese healer meant with 'need to get the channels open', is that 1st: you have them blocked. 2; you need to unblock them. well, that's all 'obvious'. What he is referring to are the Meridians, or Channels of Qi(Chi), you may use acupuncture and herbs to help open them. But the 'real thing' is Qi Gong(or Chi Kung), he probably can help you with that, he can teach you some exercises that you may do at home, every day, and check out your progress with him regularly. Take a look at references for these(Qi Gong, Channels etc) at the grouparchives and/or search the internet(altavista/google...) it, it is worth it. cheers!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have just returned from Japan and would like to post on some of the ideas that caught me there - and will try to do this in a few days when things are more settled. First though I would like to comment on the thread that has developed about Candy's posting. This type of issue shows the problem of trying to get medical advise in the Internet. Many people might read a posting and make all kinds of reckless and unfounded assertions in reply without any real basis for what is being asserted. In my opinion it is totally irresponsible to project an indefensable analysis on health issues without really taking the case. Many people comment on health issues who are in no way qualified to do so. I pray that Candy and others take things that others say about their health condition with a grain of salt. One has no way of knowing the qualifications of the various members who might make comments. It is absolutely unfair to make dire diagnosis without suffecient info to do that. Candy - your condition the outlines of which are quite common - needs a qualified practioner to examine you and analyse the case. To assume anything is simply not valid. Please be careful not to unnecessarily freighten people with an uninformed diagnosis - true professional health providers do not go in the Internet claiming to be able to diagnose a case with a minimum of symptoms given and without seeing the patient. This is not ethical practice of medicine and brings into question the qualifications of the person making such a diagnosis. Remember this is a group of many people who have different interests in being here and it is not correct that everyone here is qualafied to discuss medical issues or diagnose cases. Please do not take most personal analyses as authoratative - the person making these comments may or may not have any qualifications whatsoever - so beware. The best part of this group is its educational role. Medical diagnosis as I have said many times here is not possible in this context. Patients should not take all comments seriously - especially if someone is trying to give an unjustified and dire diagnosis of an individual case.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thank you for that advise. I am a nurse with many years of experience and do use the site as educational and for information. I am not interested in a diagnosis. If my post sounded that way it was not to be. I am interested in the herbs I was given and just am very interested in Chinese medicine. Thank you so much for your concern and taking the time to post your message. I appreciate it. E-mail I find is an excellent way of communicating; but I have found sometimes what one is trying to post is not always understood or interpreted in the matter it was to be. Thank you, Candace J Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I have been having a problem lately. On the crown of my head, I have a unch of sores. They get a scab on them and itch. When I scratch, the scab comes off and it is real sore. Would anyone know what this is? And what to do for it? It is only on the crown of my head. Thank youo in advance.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I use sea breeze daily and it works quite well. I know it is not a homeopathic item but it works.DG magick <i_am_magick wrote: I have been having a problem lately. On the crown of my head, I have a unch of sores. They get a scab on them and itch.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Will the sea breeze dry out my hair? Although, my head is so sore that I will try almost anything. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 In our house we use- Listerine- straight up Listerine. My husband uses it on his head for pimples and such- and my daughters and myself- we used it on our faces for pimples- we use it like a toner- I think it works wonders! I also use it sometimes under my arm pits before deodorant. Ellen - magick Tuesday, November 21, 2006 12:27 AM Re: Need Answers Will the sea breeze dry out my hair?
