Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for the following case. Patient is generally non-responsive to treatments. Birth date is October 29, 1970. Constipation (palpable distention at ascending colon; melanaosis coli)(purple discolorations on lower lip) Severe bloating and distention (worse with sugar or dairy) Nausea Light-headed and dizziness Food stagnation (even with small amounts of food) Hypoglycemia Lactose intolerant Headache/Pressure when experiencing above symptoms Hunger, Lack of appetite Thirst w/ no desire Severe exhaustion and fatigue Weakness in muscles (all muscles, but especially lower body) Lack of endurance Low platelets (ranging from 75 – 119) (normal 135-400) (since Mononucleosis very severe Jan-Feb 2001) Pain all joints: neck, back, fingers, wrists, knee; neck --- history of pinched nerves. Nodules, constant cracklings Back --- spasms cramps in Kidney/Spleen/Stomach area (UB 20 area) Scapular – knots in GB and SJ channels; pain in SI channel Hip (worse on right – greater trochanter area) History of many broke bones as a child (16) Palpitations, occasional shortness of breath Irregular heart beat (and slow 60bpm) Restless sleep – wakes more tired Cold hands and feet Numbness and tingling and pins and needles (HT channel in fingers and wrist; big toe esp left; in feet when sitting cross-legged for few minutes (esp left foot) Testicular pain Bilateral testicular microlithiasis Inhibited urination Weak urine stream Liver hemangioma 9mm Born 3 weeks early – induced Pneumonia 3 months old – severe, nearly fatal. History of ear infections and bulging ear drums as a child On antibiotics for 1 ½ years straight as a child and many times after that (now allergic to penicillin and codeine) Bleeding gums, canker sores, tongue sores Seborrheic dermatitis Pulse is 60 bpm, irregular rhythm. Heart pulse is feeble-absent. Right proximal changes qualities from reduced pounding and diffuse (almost empty) to tense and robust pounding. Left proximal tight- tense and choppy. Digestive system is tight, inflated changing to diffuse and slippery at organ depth and occasionally choppy. Rough vibration throughout pulse. Gall Bladder changes intensity, muffled, slippery tense pounding. Tongue is wide scalloped, crack down center to tip; some horizontal cracks in center. Color is red. Not much tongue coat. Sublingual veins clear. Thanks in advance to anyone with suggestions. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hello Ross, >>>Patient is generally non-responsive to treatments. Birth date is October 29, 1970.<<< Not to belittle this very complex, and multi-patterned patient at all, but have you thought about first recommending some digestive enzymes as well as probiotics to this patient, just to help restoring the intestinal flora, and to kick-start the digestive system? Just a thought.... Daniel C. Luthi Nutrition Educator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthi >Nutrition Educator _________________- Interesting and important dilemma Daniel has just highlighted, Catch 22 situation I think, The intestines, due to emotional, structural imbances affecting organ and hormonal function and immune system activity, have changed their Ph making the habitat of the usual intestinal flora unlivebeable. This has made room for fungus and bacteria that would normally not get a look in, at home in the intestines. Do we flood the intestines with the bacteria that would normally grow there? and if we did would it colonize again? I think the answer is yes, but I doubt that the patient will feel any benefits unless the imbalance in the intestines is resolved to begin with. salvador _______________ Express yourself with cool new emoticons http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/myemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
