Spinal paralysis / muscle spasm / pain from gunshot wound

[Guest guest]

Dear Phil,

 

John Upledger, d.o.(US) and Jean-pierre Barral, d.o. (France), are

innovators and teachers who have each had extraordinary success working

with spinal cord injuries. The therapies that they have developed

respectively are: Craniosacral therapy-Upledger, and visceral

manipulation-Barral. I would encourage you you read about their

therapies at: www.upledger.com. Upledger, alone has trained over 50,000

practitioners and was cited by Time Magazine as one of the 20 eminent

healers of the 21st century. If you would like a referral to someone who

integrates one of these therapies into their treatment protocol, let me

know.

 

Best of Luck,

 

Yehuda

Colleagues, what would you recommend in this case [sorry - I have

no more info at the moment]. Are Die Da Wan or Yunnan Baiyao

applicable here?

 

See my reply to Maria. I will forward your advice when you respond.

 

Many thanks,

Best regards,

Phil

Maria, sorry for delay - I was teaching in Barcelona and just got

home today.

 

WHERE ARE YOU? WHEN did the shooting occur [i.e. how long

has your husband been paralysed)?

 

I do not want to raise your hopes in an unrealistic way. If your

husband's spinal cord is injured seriously (for example if it is

completely severed), there is almost zero chance of recovery from

the paralysis.

 

If, however, it is only " nicked " , with minor cutting damage (but with

local cord pressure from clots/oedema/fluid swelling), there is a

possibility of significant improvement if you can find a really skilled

acupuncturist and/or Chinese Herbal Doctor.

 

It is most important that you ask your husband's hospital doctors

what they found during surgery, or on scans/X-ray examination.

Ask for the EXACT location, nature and extent of his spinal cord

injury. Also ask for their HONEST LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS.

 

While acupuncture/Chinese herbal medicine may not cure his

paralysis [if the damage is very severe], it may be very helpful to

ease his pain and muscle spasm, and to calm his spirit and help

his psyche.

 

I have a few contacts in Japan and France, and will ask for their

recommendations if you wish. However, expert acupuncturists /

Chinese herbal doctors exist in most countries today.

 

Meanwhile, I urge you to get some homeopathic ARNICA C6 +

HYPERICUM C6 + NUX VOM C6. You will get these in any good

homeopathic pharmacy. Give one tablet of each, three times a day.

Start immediately and stop after 2 weeks if you see no

improvement.

 

I have put your husband's history on several professional lists today

and will feedback any comments from colleagues.

 

May God bless you, him and your loved ones.

Phil

 

PS: Please do NOT send your husband's records here. Keep them

for the doctor(s) who will treat him. However, my colleagues on the

lists will want to know a summary of the medical findings,

especially the exact location, nature and extent of the spinal cord

injury.

Dear Phil,

 

Depends. How old is the injury? Yunnanbaiyao is appropriate for bleeding

but will not emphasise invigoration of Blood as much as Die Da Wan. Die Da

Wan is more appropriate if there is bone breakage. Otherwise Qi Li San.

 

However if the injury occurred longer ago than recently then it is likely

that a modified Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang is more appropriate. The patient

should be counselled that, if the pain gets worse once treatment starts, it

is a positive and expected progress.

 

Regards,

 

Robert Cran.

Maria, sorry for delay - I was teaching in Barcelona and just got

WHERE ARE YOU? WHEN did the shooting occur [i.e. how long

has your husband been paralysed)?

 

I do not want to raise your hopes in an unrealistic way. If your

husband's spinal cord is injured seriously (for example if it is

completely severed), there is almost zero chance of recovery from

the paralysis.

 

If, however, it is only " nicked " , with minor cutting damage (but with

local cord pressure from clots/oedema/fluid swelling), there is a

possibility of significant improvement if you can find a really skilled

acupuncturist and/or Chinese Herbal Doctor.

 

It is most important that you ask your husband's hospital doctors

what they found during surgery, or on scans/X-ray examination.

Ask for the EXACT location, nature and extent of his spinal cord

injury. Also ask for their HONEST LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS.

 

While acupuncture/Chinese herbal medicine may not cure his

paralysis [if the damage is very severe], it may be very helpful to

ease his pain and muscle spasm, and to calm his spirit and help

his psyche.

 

I have a few contacts in Japan and France, and will ask for their

recommendations if you wish. However, expert acupuncturists /

Chinese herbal doctors exist in most countries today.

HYPERICUM C6 + NUX VOM C6. You will get these in any good

homeopathic pharmacy. Give one tablet of each, three times a day.

improvement.

Robert, many thanks. Still no feedback from MARIA GONZALEZ

on the duration or exact nature of the cord injury.
