Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Re. Sickle Cell- I've had notable results treating Sickle Cell Disease. I'm aware that a consultant haematologist at a hospital in London had an acupuncturist do a clinical trial on the treatment of Sickle Cell about 12 years ago. I spoke to the acupuncturist, who said that they were getting very favorable results, but ran out of money (they had a few thousand pounds for the project) and had to terminate the study. (Reinforces points that have been made in the discussion group about research for CM).CHM also seems to be very useful. I'd agree with Marco's comments about syndromes. Sickling can be very specific - I've seen problems develop in the TH/GB meridians with Shao Yang level EPFs, for example, that in turn responded very favorably to acupuncture treatment for Shao Yang EPF. It's interesting that a disease that is quite specific to non-Chinese genetic groups can respond so well to CM treatment, validating the universal applicability of CM differentiation.
