Fwd: SEEMINGLY DIFFICULT CASES CURED WITH ACUPUNCTURE

[Guest guest]

Many of these are example of an acupuncturist working with Western doctors,

and both handling what they do best. Note that in the case of tubercolosis

in the hip, he first corrected what he knew acupuncture could help, and then

sent the patient to Western doctors for treatment of the tubercolosis in the

hip.

 

Ren is another name for the Conception Vessel, the great Yin channel that

runs up the middle of the front of the body. Du is another term for the

Governor Vessel, the Yang vessel that runs up the middle of the back. Ex is

an abbreviation for an Extra point, one not located on the meridians.

>on the head near point DU -20, about which he had forgotten i.e. he has

>been hit with an SS tap in the bathroom.

>Problem: This woman was suffering with paraplegia since 6 months. Her

>condition was very bad, as she was not able to walk, turn in bed etc. A

>was completely changed due to long illness.

>According to the diagnosis she had suffered from viral attack on the Spinal

>cord at the level of D4 to D7.

>Treatment: It was decided to attack the problem of bladder at first as this

>was very troublesome and caused disturbance to all the family members.

>Points of REN channel were selected and Moxa was applied for 20 minutes for

>8days followed by needling of the same areas. The catheter was removed

>after 15 days. There was no problem of bladder evacuation. Patient was very

>happy as the main hindrance in the healing process was removed. The points

>along the affected areas near to D4 D7 were punctured for 20 days. The

>patient was asked to take a walk for the first time. It was to everybody's

>surprise that the patient started walking very slowly. This crated a good

>environment. This was very important, as everybody was very anxious. Points

>on the Auricle also improved the condition of the patient to a great

>extent. Thus we can see that acupuncture can help even a worst case like

>paraplegia.
