Has anyone heard of Yishen Jiedu Recipe for kidney health?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Has anyone heard of the Yishen Jiedu Recipe for the kidneys? It was

listed in an abstract of a journal article which I found at the

website of the National Library of Medicine. The abstract says that

the article is in Chinese. The listing is below --- thanks for

reading this and for any information you may have about it.

" Clinical observation on effect of yishen jiedu recipe in retarding

the course of chronic renal failure "

 

[Article in Chinese]

 

Chen SH, Ban ZP, Cao JL.

 

Guizhou Provincial Zunyi Hospital, Guizhou 563002.

 

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Yishen Jiedu Recipe (YSJDR) in

retarding the course of chronic renal failure (CRF). METHODS:

Forty-five patients were divided into two groups, the 22 patients in

Group A were treated with low-protein diet and blood pressure

controlling therapy only, while the 23 patients in Group B were

treated with additional YSJDR. The time (month) for doubling serum

creatinine (SCr) level was taken to evaluate the speed of CRF

progression. RESULTS: In Group A, the time for SCr increased from

288.4 +/- 96.7 mumol/L to 586.3 +/- 251.3 mumol/L was 16.7 +/- 5.1

months, while in Group B the time for SCr increased from 291.2 +/-

101.2 mumol/L to 589.6 +/- 257.5 mumol/L was 28.2 +/- 8.7 months.

Comparison between the two groups showed significant difference (P <

0.05). CONCLUSION: On the basis of low-protein diet and blood pressure

controlling therapy, the additional treatment of YSJDR could markedly

retard the progression speed of CRF.

Hi,

quite often recipes that are used in clinical tests,

where there is only one recipe used,

with a recipe-name sounding unfamiliar

(yishenjiedu-nourish kidneys expel toxins

which addresses the kidney failure and the resulting toxins)

are made from scratch

(not really from scratch, it is based on clinical experiences)

using

*modern* TCM principles.

Modern, as in not being able to diagnose

each patient individually, and adding

herbals that were found to be symptomatically

effective in western conditions.

 

They need one recipe that would fit

the average kidney failure patient.

The recipe covers the deficiency and the

phlegm/heat/cold/damp issues

all at once.

 

The chinese text should contain the herbal listing.

 

Greetings Tay.

Thanks, Tay.

 

Michael Reed Gach's Acupressure's Potent Points also uses this

approach. He bases his point recommendations on the most common TCM

imbalances that can manifest as the particular symptom or disorder.

 

The ideal situation is seeing a TCM healer in person and getting a

complete TCM analysis. But this isn't always possible.
